We are still smashing the Cod here at Whitby, between the three of us on Friday we managed the best part of 40 codlings.
There appears to have been a fresh run of codlings all 2-4lb, with a few better ones thrown in.
Best Angler took 15 himself, but everyone walked away with a double figure bag.
The best bait remains crab cart, but good quality black lug and dirty squid has been catching them too,

The day trip will be 730-1630 and cost £45 per person, 5 places remaining,

Fishing Report by Sam Cumming
on Silver Spray II (Poole, Dorset)
Dec 2016 by Sam Cumming
Report on-board Silver Spray II
In the last monthly report I had a little grumble about the lack of mixed fish coming to the net on our cod trips. I'm happy to say it all changed fairly rapidly, only a couple days later I was eating my words as we landed about 70 congers in one day in between a few cod, I'm not sure I have ever seen so many congers in one sitting before. As well as the snakes, they have quietened down a bit since that day, we have seen the start of the whiting on the patches of sand off Poole. Gerry Reed's 3lb 4oz fish is leading the charge with that at the moment with plenty of fish around the 2lb mark taking the mackerel baits as well. On a recent trip Pete Knight braved some stiff south-westerly winds and was rewarded with a 10lb cod, 14lb pollock and new PB bass of 10lb 4oz all in one day. Probably our biggest of the year so far. Our last mention this month goes to Ed Braund who managed a 18lb 4oz undulate on light tackle followed on the next drop by a 22lb blonde, 40lb of ray in 2 drops not a bad way to start your day. From all of us at Silver Spray Charters thanks for making 2016 such a great year, merry Christmas and tight lines for 2017.

Report on-board Mistress Linda / San Gina3
The Flounder fishing from Poole is very patchy with the best being towards the upper reaches of the Wareham Channel, today we landed several fish up to 2lb the bigger fish are still eluding us along with plenty of small Bass. The Bay marks are fishing well for Whiting, the Cod fishing will be at its best over the next couple of weeks.
If you wish to go fishing as an individual or group I am operating trips daily exc 25th and 26th Dec.
Wishing you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year View Boats Page

Fishing Report by Ross Parham
on Spot On! (Brixham, Devon)
Dec 2016 by Ross Parham
Report on-board Spot On!
Since Novemner 'Spot On' has only been out on a few trips due to the constant easterly winds that have been hammering our south Devon coastline, when we have got out the wreck fishing has again been good with plenty of hard fighting Pollock with the odd cod thrown in for good measure.
Other surprise catches have been a fair amount of large tub gurnards taken the lures which is nice to see.
I hope this weather will give us a break soon as I cant wait for the larger Pollock to turn up and I don't think they are too far away as we have been having steady catches of 9lb+ fish with a few mid doubles on most trips.
By far the best lure so far this year has to be the sidewinder Skerries Eels which have just been superb taking Cod and Pollock alike and has fished constantly.
Thanks to sidewinders for continuing to develop these great new lures that keep the fish coming to the net.
I have started to upload my pictures of some of the great fish caught in 2016 on board 'Spot On' and as you will see its been another bumper year and I would like to thank all my anglers for there continued support to myself and the great port of Brixham.
2017 diary is all but full and already been asked for 2018 dates which is mad!!
Spot On is still the only catamaran operating from Brixham, a few dates left for 2017 so get in fast if you want them.
I would like to wish newcomer Paul Bowden with his boat 'Off The Hook' good luck with his venture and for bringing more anglers to the port which shows Brixham is fast becoming the great charter port it once was and adding another fine vessel to Brixham's charter fleet, I look forward to working with the new boats in some competitions which will be planned in the new year so watch this space and if interested please get in touch.

Fishing Report by Kevin McKie
on Size Matters (Craobh Haven, Argyll & Bute)
Dec 2016 by Kevin McKie
Report on-board Size Matters
Over the last week the fishing on the Mersey has been up and down.
Our best day was 52 cod to 7lb, but the worst day was only 9 cod to 4lb.
Most day's we caught 25 to 35 cod, along with odd thornback ray and loads of good whiting and dabs.
When you are fishing the Mersey it's so important to use a decent size bait when targeting cod and you must change the bait every 15 to 20 minutes. Because the sent gets washed out of the bait in the fast tide. Even if the bait look's ok after being in the sea for 15 minutes or more it has no sent and must be replaced with fresh bait.
The amount of anglers I get on my boat who think I am just trying to sell them bait is unreal. I am not interested in selling you bait I just want you to catch lot's of fish, at the end of the day that's why you have booked a day's fishing.
Here are the next dates I have available,
Monday December 19th, 7 places sailing at 4.30am.
Tuesday January 3rd, 10 places available sailing at 3.45am.
Wednesday January 4th, 12 places available sailing at 4.30am.
Thursday January 5th, 12 places available sailing at 5am.
Cheers

Fishing Report by Rich Cope
on Mistress (Whitby, North Yorkshire)

Report on-board Mistress
We had a hell of a day and night yesterday here Whitby with two very successful trips. With not being at sea for a few days it was great to get back at it and find our anglers a few nice fish!
Following on for our post the other day, we've had interest for a trip this coming Friday, which we are currently taking bookings on now, the trip will be approx. 9 hours and £45 per person. I do have hire tackle available if required and I can sort out a bait package at a competitive price too.
We were overwhelmed with the response to the night trip, so we will be running another next week, when its suitable, the night trips are approx. 6 hours and cost £30 per person, experience in fishing at night is essential and a good quality headlamp is a must, tip light can be supplied if required.
We are currently taking bookings to for trips between boxing day and new years eve, if you want to try out your new christmas fishing gear!
If you fancy a trip with me on Mistress, give me a call on 07977 436903
