    Report on-board PLAN B

    This weekends fishing all cancelled due to high winds :( will be re-loading all boat reels with new line and replacing all terminal tackle.. it will be getting tested by the hounds / bass very shortly. The boat engine is getting a service and the new cabin / wheelhouse upholstery should be arriving.. so not all bad.
    Skiff has had an overhall as well, shot blasted and about to be painted

  • 07/05/2013 Fishing Report by Bob Marshall on Duke IV (Ramsgate, Kent)

    7 May 2013 by Bob Marshall

    Report on-board Duke IV

    At last the water is slowly warming enough for the crabs to peel and the summer species are starting to show, with good numbers of Skate on the banks and the first Smoothounds being landed.
    We made another visit to the wrecks with Andys crew from Kent who saw plenty of quality Cod being landed on the old favourites jellies and shads. No Pollack on this trip though, perhaps another species under pressure from commercial overfishing.
    A stop on the banks on the way home saw a reasonable catch of Mackerel to feathers and hokkies, again these fish are not in the numbers we used to catch nor are they as large, hopefully the shoals will build with the jumbo Mackerel being the most superb eating fish around.
    The Bass are keeping a low profile so far but they should arrive anytime now with plenty of sandeels on the banks, the crabs peeling and the last of the Whiting still here, there's a feast of food waiting for them. Still some weekend dates available to book Duke IV so give me a call and come along for a great fishing experience.

  • 07/05/2013 Fishing Report by Gary Flint on Discovery (Liverpool, Merseyside)

    7 May 2013 by Gary Flint

    Report on-board Discovery

    07,05,13 Taskers angling shop Liverpool.
    We met at Liverpool marina at 10 am The Sun was high in the sky with no clouds for a change( We could not beleive our luck the forecast was for a big low presure system coming up from the south the following day) So we set off,we agreed to try a mark that produces big Bull huss some 28miles from the marina.
    whilst we where travelling i explained that the summer species have not arrived yet, we put this down to the water temperature being down for this time of the year due to the terrible weather we had around easter, we arrived on site to start fishing before everybody had a line in whiting where being pulled over the side,then the occasional Dog fish then the odd Dab and then finally the first Bullhuss of 2013 for Discovery was lifted over the side and welcomed for a change the fish flowed in all day with Neil taking 3 huss to about 9lbs but also losing a bigger one at the back of the boat,Peter who fished consistantly all day eventually was un catchable and won the overall comp. Well done lads wait till the summer species come in.
