Fishing Report by Rich Ward
on Shy-Torque III (Whitby, North Yorkshire)

Report on-board Shy-Torque III
31.05.2013.
Bob Boyce and his group from Blackpool joined us today for their annual trip out of Whitby.
The coloured water still hindering the fishing on the inside marks here at Whitby, so we all had a chat about it and the decision was made to have a run offshore (yet again!!)
A couple of passes over a wreck on route produced nothing at all for the lads so we steamed on back to the "Wall"
After a steady 5 hours fishing the lads had managed a very respectful 50 fish. I say respectful, as some of the boats working the inside marks were returning without seeing a cod on board at all !
A very foggy day to say the least but the sea state was perfect. No sun tans but a very enjoyable day !
The lads are pictured with some of their fish, the best cod today going to John Elrick at exactly 10lbs.

Fishing Report by Eric Robinson
on Supreme (Rhyl, Denbighshire)
31 May 2013 by Eric Robinson
Report on-board Supreme
The weather was bright and lumpy in the morning with tide and wind working against us early on, but later in the day the conditions really improved. The mackerel are still failing to show but other baits worked well enough to make the 8 hour match an enjoyable and close run thing. Rip Van Winckle did not make it onto the boat. Mind you I wouldn't want to tangle with him – neither does anyone else.
Species taken on the day included Dogs, Dabs, Whiting, Tub Gurnard, Pouting. Sea Scorpion, Codling, Bull Huss, Por Cod and an Octopus!!
Gull attack excluded, all were retuned safely except the Octopus which was destined to make a guest appearance in a weekend paella.
Steve moved us when he had to and when things slowed down. He called the species that we would catch before he anchored up on the marks. Pity he can’t call 6 numbers for me on a Saturday night. Usual drinks and snacks were supplied by a skipper who really knows his stuff. I take my cap off to him – literally!!
Cheers for another brilliant day Steve. View Boats Page

Fishing Report by Lyle Stantiford
on Supanova II (Weymouth, Dorset)
May 2013 by Lyle Stantiford
Report on-board Supanova II
With May now drawing to a close it has been a frantic month with only 5 days lost to weather the rest has been an exciting time with some decent runs at sea which has been a great relief after such a poor start to the year.
The wrecking has been consistent with plenty of Pollack, the arrival of the sand eels has made this a bit easier.
Plenty of decent doubles with the best a PB of 19lb for Dave Edwards.
Cod numbers have been a little down on this time last year but as things are about 5 weeks behind this should improve in the coming weeks.
The nice surprise has been the small tides bringing plenty of LIng which has been great to see and probably the best I have seen for 8-10 years.
Inshore has been a little patchy, the bigger tides has seen improved Turbot catches from April with the best of 16lb 12oz falling to Lloyd Rush. The odd Brill has appeared, Brill catches should improve in the coming months. Plaice has been cracking on the small tides but the larger tides have been more of a struggle.
This last week the first few Bream have appeared along with consistent numbers of Mackerel. This is the latest I have ever known the Mackerel turn up.
The three Channel islands in May were completed with steady fishing on each with one unfortunately being cut short to weather.
Turbot and Brill catches were generally in the 20-30 bracket each day with a 50/50 split between keepers and chuck backs.
The coming month should see Bream, Cod, more plaice and Flatys, Tope arrive in decent numbers inshore, with hopefully continued wrecking action with more Cod featuring.
On another note 2014 DIARY IS NOW OPEN. weekends are filling fast and also Channel islands trips too so get in quick for what you want. I know its early but people keep asking so I have done it.
Thanks again to those that continue to support Weymouth and us grateful skippers.

Report on-board Warrior II
Hi All! So here we are nearly in June, and the fishing has been busy and the number of catches improving on each trip. Had a cracking 29lb cod this Sunday along with some nice Ling up to 14lb. We have had some good size whiting also, and the Congers are just starting to show.
We are still waiting for the water temperature to rise enough for the first Shark, and then the season will really kick in! The diary is very busy, and there are not many weekends left to book for the summer. I still have a few mid week days available so get booking now!
Tight Lines! Pete View Boats Page

Fishing Report by TERRY BATT
on Vanishing Point-2 (Bradwell Marina, Essex)
29 May 2013 by TERRY BATT
Report on-board Vanishing Point-2
The fishing has been very good just lately and many Thornback Rays are coming to the boat, and some really good Bass are showing up.
Smoothounds are a bit patchy, but this is due to the late rise in water temperature, and tobacco juice..
There have been a few big Tope caught , but again not bundles.
Things should improve after these big tides, and put a scattering of fish on the offshore marks, weather permitting....!! View Boats Page

Fishing Report by Rich Cope
on Mistress (Whitby, North Yorkshire)

Report on-board Mistress
The weather and conditions, as Im sure you all have heard has been extremely disappointing so far this year.
This time last year we were catching fish by the boat load, and had a great start.
This year has to be the worst I can ever remember, saying that, the lads have still been keen to get to sea and try their hand, both saturday and sunday we travelled well off to some distant wrecks in the search of good fishing. Unbelievably the clarity was affected 25 miles + offshore following the last northerly sea.
both days saw us get our first mackerel of the season. we caught fish both day but not in any great numbers. sunday saw us boating a lot of mackerel. we still caught cod, pollock and coalie too.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On monday I only had a few lads booked on and the forecast was far from brilliant meaning we would have to stay inshore, with this in mind, we planned to uptide fish with the lads (absolutely unheard of by the end of may!) the tide was slack when we headed out so we fished on the soft ground until the tide got away fully, taking lots of dabs and whiting (just to keep the rod tips rattling). we moved as soon as the tide started and we managed a few cod, falling to fresh lug the lads had dug the day before.
the day was slow and we caught codlings most places we stopped on the hard ground, the first push of the flood saw a few codling falling to cart. we finished up with around ten codlings for the day between us hundreds of whiting and few dabs.
the water should clear out soon and the fishing should go ballistic judging by the feed marks everywhere

Today we went out for 3 hours with John and his son and 2 grandsons. Issac caught the first whiting and shortly after his brother caught one too, then Issac caught a dogfish which he thought was pretty cool and then his dad, Ellio, finished with a female skate before we headed in.

Report on-board Lead Us
out of Lowestoft on Lead Us 27th May
steamed up to a mark on a lovely sunny morning hardly a breath of wind but a very strong tide making the going slow within 5 mins of dropping the anchor jamie was into a nice thornback of 5lb 12oz with others catching the inevitable spotties then a nice bass a tadd under 4lb fell to jamies rod again, with 2 more thornbacks coming in shortly after as the tide slackened the wind picked up making things very uncomfortable and we had to run inshore to find some shelter with a few more spotties/ smoothies and a small codling rounding off the day with 4 thornbacks to 5lb 12oz , 3lb 14oz bass and numerous spoties & smoothies a small codling and 1 dab a good day had by all View Boats Page
