Fishing Report by Sam Cumming
on Silver Spray II (Poole, Dorset)

Report on-board Silver Spray II
Last month’s improved fishing has continued right into June, with the aid of some good weather, I’ve only had to cancel one trip in the last 4 weeks. It is never fully the summer season until the mackerel shoals arrive properly and they started showing in good numbers in the last week of May. Unfortunatly this was just a touch too late for my first trip to Cherbourg this year as we only managed to catch 3 mackerel in as many days. Despite this the weather was on our side and we had a good trip with mainly pollock and cod hitting the deck but also a few ling and bass aswell. Gareth Awbery landed a nice double figure cod just after slack water to find that something had bit its tail clean off, the wound must have been a couple seasons old as it had fully healed but it amazes me that it could survive after such a major injury. I finally managed to get an Alderney trip in with nice weather to go with it; you know you have had a couple of bad ones when you are saying east/northeast force 4 is nice weather! The banks fished well with Steve Bealing pulling out the best turbot of the trip at 13lb, Steve’s brother Graham managed to catch 3 turbot on the same sandeel flapper one drift after another.
I mentioned in my last report I didn’t think that the summer cod had fully arrived and I, and my anglers, were glad to see I was correct with a few days bringing over 20 fish to the boat. One day Silver Spray regular Bill Thornton caught 9 cod with the biggest coming on an orange twin tail with a lead head and weighing in at 21lb 4oz, hoping to get out there again soon to find a few more of that size. On our side of the channel the first of the mackerel have of course brought in the tope and bass with them. Although the fishing has been good so far it seemed like the fish were easily spooked and on some days wanted live mackerel on the bottom and others wanted lures high up in the water. I am hoping for another good season with some big fish as we have already seen our first double. Whilst drifting just after slack one day waiting for the tide to build Gary Legg managed to catch something sizeable on a live mackerel, we all assumed it was a tope until it was in the net and had 2 large spikes sticking out of its dorsle fins. The spur dog weighed in at 22lb and could have potentially have been a new record, it was certainly the biggest one I have seen. I’m looking forward to writing next month’s report with the first of the freeline bass trips and a few more journeys across the channel.

Fishing Report by Bob Marshall
on Duke IV (Ramsgate, Kent)
20 Jun 2013 by Bob Marshall
Report on-board Duke IV
The inshore Skate fishing remains good with some unusually large male fish around with herring still the bait of choice. The weather has been making life difficult for all the boats but Duke IV managed to reach the offshore wrecks yesterday and although the fishing was tough we ended the day with a reasonable haul of Cod to 8lb. Perseverence proved the key to success with the crew finding best results on small shad lures.
Smoothound fishing still good with some quality fish, crab being the bait of choice for these hard fighters.
July and August will see large Bass looking for the Mackerel and Whiting. Whole Squid or a large mackerel fillet is the way for the big girls although the Doggies also find these baits tasty and can eat their way through a lot of bait, fish a live bait when the water is clear for best results.
Pic shows Paul & Stu with part of yesterdays Cod catch
With weekday and some weekend dates still available for groups and individuals, give me a call and come fishing off Ramsgate aboard Duke IV View Boats Page

Report on-board High Flyer 2
Bit of a choppy start start to the day from last nights blow, went off to a six mile bank i hadnt used for a while down to weather been too windy lately, started off well with doggies straight away. As tide weakened nice sizeable bass and doggie on same line would you believe! Ended up with 9.2 lb skate from the mark before moving to a bass mark which proved no good only few small dogs so ended up back inshore to finish our day. Another couple of skate for us of just over 8lb and 4lb along with more dogs and handfull of lovely dabs. No smoothies at all anywhere today maybe tides were too weak for them? Big thanks to Derek from DXB Water for organizing the trip and Keith,Rhichard and Rob all the way from Brentwood,appreciate you guys making the journey. Was a pleasant end to the day with calm water and we got a nice mixture of fish. See you guys next month, all the best. Jon.

Report on-board Shy-Torque III
18.06.2013
Rich Ward.
Today we had Nigel Hall return to Whitby again after his trip on Saturday. This time he was hunting the sharks.
Nigel was with David Laine, Guy Wrightson and invited guest Derek Wiggins from Leeds.
The chum was running across the ground 27 miles from shore at 08.30.a.m. A nice early start today!!
Slack water passed by 9.0.a.m and at 10.15.a.m we had our first take of the day. Sadly just like yesterday
( 17th ) they seemed to by playing with the baits and not hitting hard like we want and the fish slipped the hook. Guy Wrightson was taking a pee up forward at around 1.0.p.m and the rod next to him suddenly bounced across the hand rails. Another swift snap at the baits but no proper take. Again this was proving to be a frustrating day!!
At 3.0.p.m the closest bait to the boat aft went down, float popped and another fish was on. A mad fish thrashed around on the surface for a few seconds with the bait and within 15 minutes it was boated by Derek Wiggind from Leeds.
This was Dereks first day shark fishing and he was very pleased with his first ever Porbeagle of 60lbs.
Again, small in comprison to last weeks fish, but hey, a sharks a shark!!!!!!! 5 Porbeagle in 3 trips to press!
Derek is pictured.
Tight lines
