    Report on-board Dawn Venture

    the wind has played havoc with the fishing ,but a calm (ish) spell 18-20 let us out to sea.
    the main stay of species has been cod haddock whiting dab coalie all 3 gurnards dogfish and then a sprinkling of huss,spurs and smoothies
    pollack fishing close in has improved considerably as has the stamp of fish.....mackerel belly,sandeel or ragworm on a leadhead/flowing trace has done the damage.....about 40 pollack today with the best a shade under 10lb

  • 09/2015 Fishing Report by Kevin McKie on Size Matters (Craobh Haven, Argyll & Bute)

    Sep 2015 by Kevin McKie

    Report on-board Size Matters

    Hi everyone, just to let you all know as of March 17th 2016, I will be skippering one of the uk's top charter boats the 45ft Size Matters out of Plymouth. Graham Hannaford the owner has been skippering boats out of Plymouth for over 40 years and is regarded as one of the best skippers in the UK. I have personally fished with Graham as an angler for the last 18 years, catching conger to 86lb, ling to 28lb, cod to 21lb, pollack to 17lb plus many more. He is going to pass down all his knowledge of fishing and skippering to me. This will be a very good challenge for me and anyone who has met me or knows me will know I am a mad keen angler as well as a skipper. We will work the boat together for the spring and summer of 2016, the boat will then move to Liverpool on October 17th 2016 for the winter cod season. Each year from then on I will be operating from Liverpool October to March and from Plymouth April to October.
    Operating from Plymouth I will be mostly targeting Cod, Coalfish, Pollack, Ling, Conger and Sharks.
    I will also be running 5 day charters to Guernsey for bass, turbot and brill.
    If you would like more information on available dates for 2016 please let me know and I will send you a list of available dates.
    You can see the boat and the catches at
    www.plymouthcharter.co.uk
    I would like to say a big thank you to everyone who has already booked with us up to now for 2016!

    Regards

  • 20/09/2015 Fishing Report by jon old on High Flyer 2 (Great Yarmouth, Norfolk)

    20 Sep 2015 by jon old

    Report on-board High Flyer 2

    Bringing us up to date Sunday 20th Sep weather lately been settled , tides fallen away , we got mixed bag really with few smoothounds still about and small spotty dogs but plagued with winter whiting already few keepers among them but mostly small. Nice to see few thornbacks turning up at last as they been hoildaying further south this season and also codling turning up pleasant surprise being so close to shore. Still going to head out this coming weekend if weather allows should be some big mackerel about and few tope following them so we shall see what happens forcast is supposed to be good but what thats worth hell knows! Picture here of Dereks trip with lads from Crayford and Abbs car people with few codling and doggies from the day.
    Nice to see skate thrown back and those pouting and whiting well done for bit of conservation men. So looking forward to our next trip where hopefully should be a cod day and bit colder! As for rest of us will see what next few weeks brings hopefully get few more summer species before we batten down the hatches for winter hopefully you can join us on High Flyer soon. Dont forget those weekend dates are slowly filling up so do get in to avoid disappointment. Until then, tight lines everyone. Jon (High Flyer)
