Report on-board Amatheia
Today was hard work for the lads on the boat with a choppy sea and a bitterly cold ENE wind, but with a resolute determination the rewards of fish being boated was only a matter of time, 4 cod between 4-7lbs, a couple of nice rays, small congers, plenty of doggies and some nice whiting of which one went over 3lbs.

Fishing Report by Philip Higgins
on Mistress Linda / San Gina3 (Poole, Dorset)
20 Jan 2016 by Philip Higgins
Report on-board Mistress Linda / San Gina3
At last the cold weather is here and the Flounder fishing has seen some superb catches with the best being 36 in a day, the fish containing spawn are all being returned. Channels, Cod, Congers, Ray's and Spurdog continue to dominate the catches outside the harbour and on the weaker tides the fishing has been exceptional. The outer banks produce some great fishing now until the end of February during what is normally a quiet period inshore, so why not try something different and go for a big Ray or a possible record breaking Spurdog.

Report on-board Silver Spray II
January 2016 report
I have already done more trips this month than I managed in the previous two put together so I'm pleased to say I've got a bit more to report this time around. It is usually around this time of year I do the first trips out to the offshore banks to fish for spur dogs and blonde rays but due to the inshore fishing being so good I've only pushed off for a couple of half days so far. Both times have produced good size spurs to 18lb and blonde rays up to 27lb along with the usual huss congers and whiting. Dirty squid seems to be working wonders for the spurs. As January pushes on I'll start to do more full days out there to see if we can make it 3 years in a row with a British Record beating fish, always released after a quick photo. As I mentioned inshore the fishing has been brilliant, possibly due to the lack on days float in December. Good numbers of cod are still appearing along with plenty of congers and whiting. We had the first 2 bass of the year a couple weeks ago at 9lb and 10lb 4oz, both taking squid and cuttlefish combination baits during the tide. The ray fishing inshore has been prolific with all 5 species coming in on the same day on some marks, not all monsters but good fun none the less.

Fishing Report by TERRY BATT
on Vanishing Point-2 (Bradwell Marina, Essex)

Report on-board Vanishing Point-2
I know some people might not think shooting and fishing go hand in hand, but years ago we set up Clay pigeon shooting on "Vicky Emma" our old charter boat...
This was so popular, that now are back full time chartering, clients of our have been asking can we re-introduce this very popular sport.... and as we advertise VP-2 as a sport charter vessel, it seemed only right to try to get the right tickets to once again give the people what they want
so after a fairly long process, we finally got the go ahead yesterday to once again start Clay shooting on board Vanishing Point-2.
We took possession of the new clay trap yesterday, a fully remote controlled unit which can be operated from down in the cockpit, with the trap up on the massive wheelhouse roof, not like the old days when Nicola had to sit up on the roof launching the clays manually one at a time...!!
The clay shooting should be up and running in the next two weeks once the installation has been approved.. there will be really nice Trophies to be won on the day.... The Vanishing Point-2 Top Gun Trophy and medals for 2nd, and 3rd places... so yes guys ...THE CLAY SHOOTING IS BACK.!! View Boats Page

Fishing Report by Ross Parham
on Spot On! (Brixham, Devon)
Jan 2016 by Ross Parham
Report on-board Spot On!
After a long winter break with Spot On being ashore for the last 6 weeks for her annual scrub and tidy up etc, it was great to go straight back into the water and have 2 trips straight from the off with lovely calm seas and sunshine.
We steamed out in search of hard fighting winter Pollock and we were not disappointed, a few inshore wrecks held some good size fish but we were in search of more action so another 15 mile steam saw us mid channel were the wreck showed huge signs of life and it showed as the rods were all bent over and line screaming from the reels meant we were in for a good day.
We then moved again as we were in need of a break to be honest but each wreck continued to produce the same stamp of fish.
The fish were a good stamp of between 7-9lb with a good few double figure ones thrown in the mix also.
All in all a great start and an early finish as the lads told me they had caught enough which is always great to hear, so they filleted there catch and had a good scrub down on the way back in to keep Spot On looking pristine. (Thanks guys).
Tops lures were sidewinders although redgills also produced some nice fish as well, we did try some bazinda lures but they did not do so well and the lures fell apart very easy.
Remember you can get your sidewinders on board but please let me know what you want in advance as I carry a limited stock on the boat.
The following weeks should see some bigger Pollock turn up along with whiting and ling.
With already over 200 days booked for this year and already been asked for 2017 dates things are looking good for another great season on board Brixhams premier charter boat and the only catamaran to operate from brixham.
Don't delay and check my availability if you want to join us for 2016.
A big thank you for all my customers old and new for there support and your great attitude and banter on board.
Thanks again to my sponsors SIDEWINDER and TOP RIGS for there continued support and great products.

Fishing Report by LESTER BAKER
on Seawatch1 (Brightlingsea, Essex)
Jan 2016 by LESTER BAKER
Report on-board Seawatch1
The new year has started and finally the weather has allowed us to put in a few trips.The cod fishing has been a bit slow with only a handful of fish caught on most days but we have been lucky enough to enjoy some good sport with good numbers of Thornback Rays,the best on Seawatch so far at 19lbs 2ozs for regular Tony Holt.
The last few days have seen the temperatures drop to more normal levels for this time of year and it will be interesting to see how this affects the catches.
Weekend dates are booking fast so don't leave it too late or you may be disappointed,
All the best Lester. View Boats Page
