  • 04/2013 Fishing Report by Glen Cairns on Valkyrie 6/8 (Gosport, Hampshire)

    Apr 2013 by Glen Cairns

    Report on-board Valkyrie 6/8

    Sunday 21st April - Hayling - Valkyrie 6 (Zac Cairns)

    The first wrecking trip for the club this year. The first trip with Zac at the helm.

    At seven o'clock with ten members aboard and we headed out to the banks to try for a few mackerel.
    The north side of the bank produced a few mackerel for bait, as did the south side but we only ended up with a dozen or so.
    The next stop was a small wreck well inside french waters where we were soon into good sized pollack on sidewinders and storms of various colours.
    After a few drifts that just produced pollack and the occasional pout the activity seemed to stir the ling into action as well so we tried using baits. The ling proved to be unfussy, as besides artificials, they took fresh and frozen mackerel as well as cuttle and squid.
    Not wanting to take too much from one wreck we then went off to a larger one a few miles away where we had more pollack and ling and lost a lot of lures bravely trying for cod (unsuccessfully).
    The fourth stop was just a couple of drifts over another wreck which also had pollack and ling and then we headed back toward Hayling.

    Some of us opted to just gut their fish on the way in, others also removed their heads as well, and some actually filleted theirs.

    A great trip. Well done Zac!. A flat sea, little wind, a bit of sun and everybody had ling (up to 22lb) and most had pollack (up to 15lb) to take home.

    Biggest fish was a Nigel Cross's ling of 22lb and Roy Hebburn and Mick Doody shared the honours for most species with 4 each.

  • 18/05/2013 Fishing Report by Ken Henley on Emma Louise (Eastbourne, East Sussex)

    Report on-board Emma Louise


    A great day out thanks to the efforts of skipper Mick and crewman Wayne. Mick put us on the fish with cod (40 plus), plaice (30 plus), dabs, pouting, whiting, red gurnard and mackerel being caught. Amongst a great many other fish, I had a 3lb 8oz (when weighed at home so probably larger when caught) plaice - a personal best! The weather was perfect, the company was great and there was plenty of tea / coffee, iced donuts, garlic bread and pasties thrown in. What more could you ask for? Thanks guys. Can't wait for the next time.

    Report on-board Discovery

    18.05.2013
    Ross and The Lads,
    We arrived at the marina at 5.40am for a 6am lockout with the intentions that we would head offshore and bottom fish,the forecast was for a bit ofwind but then dropping off,so we decided to play safe and head out of the mersey and up the rock and onto burbo bank which we did with a constant wind of 20 knots Wnw. So it was a bit sloppy but still fishable the lads caught plenty of dabs and a couple of flounder with in the hour we where out on the bank. The wind picked upto 27 kts on the way in we came in early and fished the river so as all of the lads could stand up and walk around we fished a mark in the river and caught Cod, Thornback rays, Flounders, Dabs and Whiting. The lesson learnt today is dont let lads come on the boat that have not been to bed and have been on the beer all night and day, as you know it ruins the day and ends up breaking toilet sinks and automatic air fresheners overall though a good bunch of lads well done Sam with the most species and well done Ross with a nice brace of codling

    see you soon lads.

  • 16/05/2013 Fishing Report by Rich Cope on Mistress (Whitby, North Yorkshire)

    16 May 2013 by Rich Cope

    Report on-board Mistress

    Another window in the weather yesterday saw us putting to sea. 6 lads took the boat on an all inclusive team building exercise.

    The water is clearing all the time, but there doesnt seem to be the feed marks there that we normally get this time of year, it seems as though everything is running a bit late with the water temperature down on the same time last year following those dreadful easterly winds we had a while back.

    we started out fishing some 5 miles offshore and took fish first drop, the lads steadily picked away taking a few fish
    the better fishing came on the afternoon tide where we moved to one of my favourite wrecks where we finished the day on a high note having a mad hour!

    The lads managed a respectable 30 to 40 codlings all on shads and sidewinders.

    Now all we are waiting for is another break in the weather to get back at them!

    picture are the lads with their fish
