Fishing Report by David Hancock
on Excel 2 (Milford Haven, Pembrokeshire)
Jun 2016 by David Hancock
Report on-board Excel 2
We were honoured to be one of the boats used for the prestigious RAF v Police boat angling final.
I must say the guys from both teams were an absolute pleasure to have on board and certainly fished well .
The practice day showed up the usual expected species, various Wrasse, Pollock, Cod, launce, dogfish and a few more . We had bonus fish such as a cracking Blonde Ray as well.
On the match day the wind was kind to us and the first session drifting on the reefs was in calm water which made it easy. Very soon a stream of Ballan Wrasse, Cuckoos, Pollock, Cod, Coalfish and more was coming onto the boat, great fishing.
For the second 2 hour session we anchored over a sandy area. Initially we caught a couple of dogfish but the fishing seemed slower than we had expected. On the practice day we had caught Dabs and Dogs prolifically.
Soon if became apparent as to what had changed as a Spurdog was bought to the surface, then another, then another ! These voracious predators had moved the normal species out.
The lads quickly responded and changed rigs from 3 hook scratchers to single and double flowing traces with beefier hooks and line. Soon it was pandemonium on deck as we landed and returned 88 Spurdogs in the allotted 2 hour session. Well done lads, you were awesome !
For the third session we anchored over rocky ground, to be honest it was a bit of an anticlimax after what had just happened but the lads still fished intently and put a few more species that we hadn't already recorded onto the score sheet.
A very pleasurable and memorable day, for all the right reasons,
Thank you.
Keep it tight,
Dave.

Fishing Report by Carl Davies
on Gwen-Paul-M (Conwy, Conwy)
15 Jun 2016 by Carl Davies
Report on-board Gwen-Paul-M
Its a long time, probably a few years, since we have had such a settled spell of weather. Over the last two or three weeks we have realised very good pollack fishing on the offshore wrecks. The best fish was a pollack of 13 lb caught on Tuesday. A few coalfish have also been taken up to 4 lb. We only saw one large mackerel on Tuesday but there have been reports of a few more being caught inshore. The May/June bloom is starting to die off now and the northerly breeze we've had for the last couple of days will help to break the bloom up and clear the water. Once that happens the mackerel should appear in numbers along with all the other summer species, like thornbacks and tope.
We have space on a ground fishing trip on Sunday 19th and space on a 10 hour wreck fishing trip on 29th June.

Fishing Report by TERRY BATT
on Vanishing Point-2 (Bradwell Marina, Essex)
15 Jun 2016 by TERRY BATT
Report on-board Vanishing Point-2
We have been out just about every day this week, and for the most part the fishing has been electric...!!
Many, many Smoothounds over 10lbs and the better ones hitting the scales at 17 lbs.
Well on Wednesday, some good old mates of mine, Albie, Terry Les Terry, and a few of their mate that have fished with me since the Vicky Emma days, booked to come out after a 3 year absence as we were away wind farming, but now we are back they booked up their first trip, and what a trip it was, non stop action..!! from the time we dropped the anchor until the time it was time to go home..
At one point we had two landing nets on the go, me at the bow, and Nicola at the stern, and we couldn't keep up, with 5 rods hooked up on big hounds of which two snapped up purely because we couldn't get to them in time, !! but it is difficult when that happens because most were hire rods, we didn't have time to re-tackle the rods but after a sort lull in proceeding, Nicola shot back into the wheelhouse and quickly re-tackled the destroyed terminal rigs that had been involved in what can only be described, hound carnage ....lol
After a few hours, the bites did subside, and I said to the guys, we need to move from this spot and go about half a mile east to catch up with these fish, and get back into it again, but they said they were fairly tired out, and as much fun as it was could we now go for Thornbacks...!!!! (see Ron, some people still like them ..lol)
So we mover around 3.5 miles to the South West a bit of ground I have not fished for 10 years, but I was banking on the fact things usually stay the same, and we were not disappointed, first fish up was a lovely 13 lbs Roker, the a string of Thornback's followed in a nice constant flow giving me and Nicola a well earned rest, from the manic onslaught the Smoothound attack...lol it was like a scene form Zulu Dawn...lol.
Right.... now down to the hero to zero story...!!
Yesterday our party wanted to have a serious go for the big Tope, boy did we have the right conditions for it.
We departed Bradwell at 0700 and headed out a very long way, even by our standards, we had a tide just on the verge, of the start of the ebb, fresh baits blue skies zero wind, the water was like tap water, and confidence was high.
Once the tide started to flow properly, we were further encouraged by seeing a lot of Cuttlefish bones floating past, with small triangular teeth marks in, so we knew we were in the right area, so just a matter of time..... Time...... more time.... but nothing, with the tide now pushing through quite hard, I decided to make a move a couple of miles NW to a know hot spot..!!! this'll do it I thought, after 15 mins with nice fresh baits on we had a pick up..!!! we got ready for the first run... but the fish just dropped the bait, and that was it... we didn't see a Tope all day, we had some hounds on another rod we put out while waiting for the main event, and some Thornback Rays, plenty of Doggies... but sadly no Tope.
It just goes to show you can have everything just right good bait evidence these large predators are right in the area, but they just wont play..... and that' Tope fishing For you, but the boys fish right on till the end with no complaints they new the score before we went, but I take my hat off the specimen hunters who stick it out, fish or no fish ...!!! I think it helped that England were victorious over Wales which the match was on our 32 inch flat screen tv so they didn't have to miss the footie....lol
Ok guys, a day off today to catch up on life before tomorrow, when it all starts again..... So there you have it we don't always have startling days, sometimes it just don't happen, and I think you should tell of the days when it all goes pear-shaped and not always bells and whistles ..... Hero to Zero, .. it happens...
