Report on-board Optimist
Out for a couple of hours with Dave and the guys from Stratford upon Avon, found a shoal of extremely small Whiting which were all returned to grow and mature, we then hit the Herring with some good sized fish, no sign of any Mackerel yet. Weather still not on the great side but hopefully it will improve.

Report on-board Shy-Torque III
I had a walk in to Martin and Jackies shop for a natter and a cuppa today and what a
fantastic surprise I got upon entering!
Martin and Jackie are the owners of Whitby ANGLING Supplies here at
Whitby and have been now for a number of years. They pride themselves on
offering a 1st class service, both in the sale of tackle and also the
knowledge of the sea angling here at Whitby. Dan is also on their team
as sales assistant and is as enthusiastic and knowledgeable about
angling at Whitby as I am, and that takes a lot!! He will tell you
exactly what you need for a great days sport.
The surprise I got was from the vast array of stock which Martin has
just introduced in to the shop. It was literally like walking in to
"Alladins Cave" Every conceivable item you could ever wish for in the
name of sea angling is in there!! Top branded names in every section of
the shop, from rods and reels to the bottom gear. Floatation suits,
boots, the lot is there! I've never seen as much stuff in one place!! A
real credit to them.
Here's hoping your hard work and efforts are thoroughly rewarded this
year Martin. You get my full vote and I will ( as always ) be sure to
point my lads your way again during this season.
May I also just add that they are sponsors of the Whitby Charter
Skippers Association competitions here at Whitby and without the
continued support from them and other businesses in Whitby we wouldn't
be able to host such events.
Make sure you pay them a visit next time you're in Whitby. They will
beat the other angling shops here hands down!!
Call in to see them before the other shops.
Happy fishing
Rich. View Boats Page

Fishing Report by Colin Penny
on Flamer IV (Weymouth, Dorset)
16 Apr 2013 by Colin Penny
Report on-board Flamer IV
THE SUSSEX BOYS DO GOOD WITH A CHANGE OF PLAN - Dave Metcalf and his mates from Sussex joined Flamer IV for their annual Spring flatty trip but due to the constant unsettled weather the water clarity was not suitable for drift fishing for flatty's. They were not detered when I suggested the best thing to do would be to anchor up on the banks and see what comes. During their two days we only saw two flatty's a Turbot and a Dab but the quality of the other fish they caught was really good. Several Blonde Rays up to 25Ib were caught along with Spotted Rays and an 11Ib Undulate Ray.Also some excellent Spurdogs were caught in the 12 to 18Ib range. Other species caught were Bull Huss,Whiting,Pout and Dogfish. All the fish were released alive.The crew used down tide and up tide tatics with the successful baits being combinations of Ammo Squid and Mackerel.John Hole did particularly well landing several species and the two top fish with a 25Ib Blonde Ray and an 18Ib Spurdog.John is pictured with his big Blonde.
LUCKY STU - Stuart Johnson was sat down having a chat when his rod bent over and dissapeared over the side."OH DEAR" Stu said.Well not quite in them words.But 10 minutes later Paul Francis thought he was reeling up a fish when in fact his trace had tangled around stu's tackle and up come a Blonde Ray and Stu's rod and reel.I guess Stuart may be doing the lottery this week to see if his luck is really in.

Fishing Report by Bob Marshall
on Duke IV (Ramsgate, Kent)
Apr 2013 by Bob Marshall
Report on-board Duke IV
The inshore fishing here at Ramsgate is now improving with Skate in most areas. Smoothounds, Bass and Mackerel are also arriving. Still lots of herring showing on the sounder so plenty of fodder for the large Bass that are always on the lookout for an easy meal!
Herring has been the bait of choice for the Skate throughout the winter but as summer moves on they will be looking for mackerel.
Squid remains a fine bait for most species and the Hounds are very partial to a whole one and when the water warms sufficiently the crabs will peel giving us more bait choice!
The school Bass will be shoaling, great fun on the feathers or Hokkie lures. Clear water is a must though and the constant winds we are getting can stir up the water, then the humble lugworm becomes the better bait!
The wreck fishing season starts now and we will soon be out there drift fishing jellies and shads for the Cod, Pollack and Bass.
Still some weekend dates available and each Thursday for individuals aboard Duke IV. View Boats Page

Report on-board Optimist
13/04/2013, booking with the guys from Handsworth, weather forecast pretty poor but after consultation decided that 1/2 a day was better than nothing so a 6am start found us 10miles out and a few good Pollack and Pout gradually easing our way back in as the weather closed in. Wish the weather would buck up so we can access the better wrecks and more fish. If you are thinking about joining us give us a call and we will see what we can do if we can go we will.
