  • 02/11/2016 Fishing Report by Ryan Casey on Meerkat (Weymouth, Dorset)

    2 Nov 2016 by Ryan Casey

    Report on-board Meerkat

    BIG COMPETITION FOR 2017- DON'T MISS OUT ON THIS


    Great Response for this one for next year already 11 spaces already SOLD so only 9 spaces remaining. Be quick folks to avoid disappointment!!!

    £1000 UP FOR GRABS IN 2017!!
    So then all something new for 2017. Myself and Ryan on Meerkat have teamed up to design a new Specimen League for Supanova and Meerkat for 2017.
    The league will run throughout 2017 and be made up of 8 different Sundays throughout the year. Each trip will be focussed on one particular species. Only the designated species will count each day.
    We have come up with the idea so people can really see what Weymouth has to offer apart from the obvious species.
    Each angler will be expected to attend all 8 dates throughout the year, if an angler is unable to attend then they will be expected to pay for their spot unless an alternative can be found. Each anglers 7 highest scores will count towards the grand total at the end of the year so if you do miss one or have a nightmare comp then you can drop your worst score.
    It will cost each angler £60 to enter the league for the year, plus payment of one trip up front as a deposit.
    The entry money will go 100% to prizes and a buffet presentation at the end of the season.
    So.......... points are scored based on our local area specimen weights. e.g if one month we target Turbot and the specimen is 10lb a 10b fish is worth 100 points and a 5lb fish is worth 50 etc etc i'm sure you get it!
    There are 20 spaces up for grabs, 10 on each boat. If you have a preference to what boat you fish on then that's fine just let me or Ryan know, we want to keep it fun but at the same time show off some of the fantastic specimens Weymouth has to offer.
    The Beauty of this is anyone can catch a big one and be in with a chance of the money at the end of the season.

    Specimen League dates 2017
    26th February Pollack £75pp
    2nd April Spurdogs £55pp
    9th July Turbot/Brill £55pp
    13th August Undulate/ Blonde Rays £55pp
    24h September Black Bream £55pp
    29th October Congers/Bull Huss £55pp
    12th November Ballan Wrasse £55pp
    10th December Whiting £55pp

    (where there are two target species the best specimen of the two will count as your score for that comp)
    Should a specie not turn up and myself and Ryan decide to change the target specie you will be informed with plenty of time but we will try our best to not deviate from the plan.
    If a comp is cancelled due to weather then unfortunately the diaries do not allow for rescheduling but most are inshore trips so there are nearly always options to target what we need to somewhere.
    PRIZES UP FOR GRABS AT THE END OF THE SEASON
    1st overall £1000
    2nd overall £500
    3rd overall £250
    Tackle prizes for the following:
    Best Specimen Overall
    Best Specimen Meerkat
    Best Specimen Supanova

  • 11/2016 Fishing Report by Sam Cumming on Silver Spray II (Poole, Dorset)

    Nov 2016 by Sam Cumming

    Report on-board Silver Spray II

    Other than a couple of late trips to chase the flatfish around we have started to concentrate our efforts on the inshore cod fishing around the Needles, Isle of White. The flattie trips were much later than I've ever bothered with before but both produced high numbers of fish up into the 20's. Not all monsters, as you may expect for so late in the year, but good fun on the light gear with the best turbot going 8lb and the best brill 6lb 4oz. Over to the east of Poole the cod have started to arrive in numbers with the best day producing 6 fish to 18lb 8oz. Apart from a few spotted rays and tiny strap congers the mixed fish have been fairly thin on the ground compared to past years, until today that is when we returned over 30 eels between 10 and 40lb. Hopefully this is a sign of things to come, although they aren't everyone's favourite thing to catch it does ensure that people change their baits regularly when they are getting mauled every 10 minutes. A new addition to our winter cod trips has been the squid fishing in Poole Bay which has produced some massive squid up to 6lb. You tend to need the right conditions for them to feed but, depending on your preference, they either make great bait or a tasty bit of dinner. This next neap tide should hopefully see some bigger cod arrive, you never know when that monster might show up. Remember we are running our usual offer that the first person to catch a 30lb+ inshore cod this winter gets a free trip to Cherbourg in 2017.

    We have started fishing on the inshore marks now that the winter season has started.

    We have been catching some nice sized Cod and there are quite a few Whiting showing as well now.

    We are also now taking bookings for 2017 of which some of the dates are going quite quickly. We still have some weekend dates available after booking in our regular anglers.

    Report on-board High Flyer 2

    Todays trip first for two weekends due to the bad weather we been having typical for our busiest period! Headed down with the other boats down to the Roads due to south west wind for a bit of shelter as wind against tide to start catching start of the flood . Straight away into whiting as i predicted of all sizes , only different species today was a large pouting sort you get round the summer wrecks and a plump dab both returned. Rest of the day was whiting few nice keepers among them but no cod for anyone today and none for any of the other vessels from speaking to various skippers but one good thing water is turning colder for our cod as no skate or doggies so good sign. Big thanks to Daron who owns Walnut Tree Pub in Deeping St James who organised the trip everyone pictured here , was a brilliant day weather wise , fishing was busy with the constant whiting and of course pub banter. Many thanks guys looking forward to our next one appreciate you making the journey. All the best . Jon (High Flyer)

  • 19/11/2016 Fishing Report by Philip Higgins on Mistress Linda / San Gina3 (Poole, Dorset)

    19 Nov 2016 by Philip Higgins

    Report on-board Mistress Linda / San Gina3

    The sea fishing trips from Poole have been hampered by the weather - well it is that time of year, when we have managed to find a weather window the fishing has been slower than I would expect but it is good to see the increase in Channel Whiting numbers each trip, the usual dogfish have been hammering the baits in amongst a few Congers, Rays and the odd Cod each trip. A quick last couple of drifts of the day on the way home from the deep sea marks produced a surprising Plaice haul of 23 fish to 2lb which for mid November was quite an achievement.
    All the best
    Phil

    Report on-board Skylark

    We've not done a report for a while with the weather making it hard to get out and when we have been getting our fishing has been steady away.

    Today the lads had a great day for uptiding with every Mark producing a good amount of fish

    Overall about 70 size fish boated but several released back to fight another day.

    Best bag today was over 40lb and heaviest fish was just shy of 6lb

    The main bulk of the catch was Cod but a few dogfish, pouting and bull huss were also caught

    Best baits was squid, lug and cart

    Great set of lads on today with plenty of friendly banter as always
