    Report on-board Spot On!

    September was yet another great month for weather and the fishing did not disappoint as Spot On travelled to Weymouth for a 3 day fishing trip, day 1 fished the wrecks on the way over across Lyme bay were we caught Bass and Pollock the biggest Bass going 7lb 12oz then we headed for a few drifts off Portland where we managed just 2 bass and both small so returned, a last couple of drifts over the mussel beds when the tide turned produced some great plaice with the biggest going 4lb 8oz.
    Day 2 was straight onto the mussel beds where we again picked up some more plaice and small bream, a great Plaice of 5lb 12oz.
    Day 3 we started off on the plaice before the tide became too strong and we headed home via a detour to some mid channel wrecks were we hit into some great action of Pollock and Cod.
    The guys for the second 3 day Weymouth trip changed there mind and decided to head across the channel to Guernsey and I must say what a great decision, the wrecking on the way over was superb with lots of double figured Pollock, a few cod and ling. The banks produced bass and turbot although none huge still good numbers, but the trip was made when we landed on a great little Bream mark where it was as soon as we hit the bottom the bream were biting and we ended up with great sport, again lots of small ones to be returned and a few bigger specimens kept for the pan, alongside this we found jumbo mackerel and garfish to complete the trip.
    Hats off goes to Gordon of Manor angling who has been trying for 60 years to catch a Turbot and he managed 7 in one day.

    Skerries trips have been producing some mixed bags with Blonde rays still showing strong, a couple of plaice touching the 5lb mark have made some great catches for the banks.

    Wrecking has started to produce larger Pollock and a couple of sporting Coalfish have also made an appearance.

    Thank you to everyone who has supported Brixham and Spot On and I look forward to seeing you all again soon and beating more PB's for you all.
