What a great days fishing with excellent weather.We had plenty of Mackerel on the way out to use for bait.
For most of the lads it was their first boat trip . At anchor they boated a total of 15 Rays the largest weighing in at 16lbs.
On the way back drifting for Mackerel , one of the lads caught a rare Red Band weighing approximately 10oz.
I have never come across this species before during my 32 years of chartering.
Is this due to climate change as apparently coddling have been caught on our shores ????
All fish were returned. -

On Sunday 16th it was raining with light south easterly winds.
We made our decision to venture into the Solent as there had been reports of cod being caught by a local angling club.
This paid off for the Portsmouth Dockyard angling club as they boated a total of 24 cod, including in excess of 150 channel whiting .
It rained and the wind blew but nothing stopped the constant flow of fish.
The biggest cod was caught by their youngest member Alex, well done !! -

November so far has given us some nice cod with the biggest topping the scales at 22lbs, caught by Tim Burrell of Warsash.
I have never seen so many conger eels inshore, we have had them up to 60lbs.
We have also had many rays and channel whiting.
Winter has now arrived with strong winds and rain, hopefully the jet stream will move soon and we can continue with our winter fishing. -

August and early September has been a mixture of up and down regards the weather. August weather was poor but September so far has been good for this time of year.
We have had good catches of Rays with large undulates topping the scales at 20lbs.
Mackerel has been scarce this season which is very unusual.
We have started catching Channel Whiting which is earlier then normal, so hopefully the Cod season will start earlier so get and book your dates now !!!
I will be doing special deals for mid week bookings.
Contact me for details. -
