  • 08/05/2016 Fishing Report by clem carter on Wild Frontier 2 (Weymouth, Dorset)

    8 May 2016 by clem carter

    Report on-board Wild Frontier 2



    Thank you Allan Yates for sharing your day out aboard Wild Frontier 2 and a bigger thumbs up for supporting Weymouth port - we are a tight and supportive community proud of the expertise and good times to be shared out on the water - please find below Allan's latest review - we cant say it better ourselves!

    'Disappointment that turned to elation out on Wild Frontier II from Weymouth skippered by Clem Carter. The trip plan was mid channel wrecking to find some early Cod but it was changed to inshore for the Bream, a good call for us in the end and reason was the May bloom that so colours the water it was totally un-economical to venture out mid channel for possibly only a few to no fish at all. Day started wet with rain which soon cleared and the sun shone for us, another bonus was we arrived at the mark far quicker than steaming out miles to the wrecks so more fishing time. Bream started to show which were good sized 3 - 4lbs and during the day plenty were taken with undersized returned to fight another day. Fishing at anchor bores the Ass off me to be honest which is why I very rarely do it I much prefer drift fishing keeps me more occupied BUT!! yesterday my boredom turned to excitement when I got into what turned out to be a really well marked Undulate Ray and of good size on my really light spinning kit set up for Breaming. Skipper Clem Carter had just come up front were I was fishing to let out more anchor rope and the Ray took off fortunately the tide had eased right off so it was tackle versus fish without adding in tidal flow to allow the fish to kite. With great weather and good fishing plus meeting some of the anglers from my FB friends for the first time it turned out to be a really great day and Weymouth Rocks !! Again, never get bored saying that. Here are some images of the Bream taken and my Undulate of course, even the skipper got in on the act enjoying a spot of fishing in between his other duties looking after the anglers and why not.'

    Report on-board Flamer IV

    Bill Walton and friends from Devon enjoyed two sessions fishing at anchor to the East of Weymouth along the Jurassic coast using light tackle. They caught Black Bream, Smooth Hounds and Thornback and Spotted Rays along with the usual Dogfish and Pouting. Pictured is Steve Matthews with a 7Ib Thornback Ray which was his first ever and he also caught his first ever Spotted Ray. Steve was using 6Ib class tackle with strips of mackerel and squid being the successful bait which was mounted on a Sakuma size 2/0 stinger hook on a flowing trace with colored beads on. We must not forget Bill Walton who caught the first Black Bream and species number 27 caught on Flamer IV this year and Bill also did a sterling job of catching plenty of Dogfish so the other guys could catch the Rays etc.

    The next Reef/Bank Trips on Flamer IV with places available are on June 4th, 6th,20th,21st,Don't Miss Out.

  • 07/05/2016 Fishing Report by Ian Dale on Kelley's Hero Charters (Gosport, Hampshire)

    7 May 2016 by Ian Dale

    Report on-board Kelley's Hero Charters

    So i haven’t blogged in about 2 months, but this is only due to the fact that we haven’t managed to get out on too many occasions due to the weather.
    Of course we would have loved to get out more but seems we didn’t even manage 50% of what was booked.
    Luckily for us and the anglers we have managed a few trips in the last couple of weeks, mainly inshore for the early bream, and a couple offshore. We have taken beginners out to catch their first fish on their first sea fishing trip, taken regulars to try and better the PB’S and even regulars out just to test the water so to speak.
    Well we did manage to find some Bream, unfortunately we didn’t find loads but we did get a few. On some days it was hard due to the wind and tide conditions, but we did our best and found what we could. Inshore we had species such as Tub Gurnard, Mackerel, Bream, Dogs, baby Bullhuss, Tope, Garfish, smoothound, conger, whiting, plaice and a variety of skate. If the weather conditions on some of these trips had been better then im sure we would have had a load more bream etc. Once the water warms up etc then im sure they will be in as normal.
    And of course we managed out on the wrecks a couple of times since the last blog. The first couple of trips were hard but again due to the tide conditions. But the fish we were seeing, were in good fighting fit condition, Mainly Pollack. On the 7th May we managed back out again, the sun was shining, the sea was flat, what more could we ask for. We left the pontoon at 0730, with our anglers keen to go and catch some pollack.
    We did find some pollack, but not too many of them, They were all a nice size and in very good condition. However we weren’t too bothered by the lack of pollack, as we managed to find some nice Cod. This was nice to see and our anglers soon starting filling the net time after time. The cod were in great condition also, and they were a slightly bigger than last year and seems they have changed their taste in lures, in a shaddy type of way !! ;-).
    Kelley’s Hero is back out this week to find some more cod and pollack on the wrecks, and more bream inshore……..

    If you would like to book either an inshore trip for the bream, or a wrecking trip for the cod, please give me a call on 07795 538933

    Ian :-)
