Report on-board Wild Frontier 2
We are always grateful for Allan Yate's trip out in January - it marks the start to the year and he is always happy to share the experience with readers. His report of fishing last week is below. Alan has a great website promoting his lures.. Seabooms.
Enjoy the read and book up soon - the 2017 diary is filling up: 07967 029031 or wildfrontier@deepsea.co.uk:
'First trip out of Weymouth 2017 wrecking onboard Wild Frontier II with skipper Clem Carter and his crewman Reed. Criteria for the day was to trial some new lure designs in UV colours to see how they fish on the Pollock, I was also going to try out the new underwater cameras. Fishing was slow in the morning and it took off early afternoon after skipper Clem Carter moved us onto more productive wrecks and one that produced some nice ling and mine fell to a new pattern Fast Tail in UV red and yellow. Third wreck we found more Pollock plenty of them too and my results tested out the new small Maggot lures AND fish of the day a chunky double figure Pollock was taken on the new Maggot lure to MOI so a nice result for a new lure. Great bunch of guys to fish with and some of the guys were on day two of their weekend fishing break and they had a good result again. Plenty of fish for the freezers all expertly filleted by skipper Clem assisted by crewman Reed who also showed his new skills preparing the fish for us. If today is anything to go by for 2017 wrecking then it could be a really good fishing year to look forward to Oh and no the cameras didn't get tested so will have to book another trip as soon as to give them a go. Images from the day enjoy what we enjoyed.' View Boats Page

Fishing Report by Colin Penny
on Flamer IV (Weymouth, Dorset)

Report on-board Flamer IV
My first wreck trip of 2017 produced a variety of size Pollack along with a Bass and a real bonus a Coalfish. Certainly when the tide was at it's peak the best lures were Bubble Gum Pink Red Gills fished on long traces and flying collar rigs certainly did the trick. Pictured is Earl Coates with an 11Ib 3oz Pollack, he also caught several other Pollack and a 5Ib Bass.
NOTE: LOOK - *** NOW TAKING BOOKINGS FOR 2017 *** I have put up an Itinerary of trips for 2017 on all my web sites, take a LOOK, the itinerary is not set in stone so I may be able to change it to suit your needs subject to the tides. View Boats Page
