Fishing Report by Peter Atkinson
on Dotty (Langstone Harbour, Hampshire)

Report on-board Dotty
Another brilliant day out last Saturday with a great bunch of local guys.
First time for them on Dotty so we went for it off to the banks with perfect conditions to fish the ebb tide for the day.
Distinct lack of birds feeding this time so had to work a bit to find the bass, but we did.
Great sport all day with around 30 good sized fish to the boat with everyone taking their permitted 2 fish the rest safely returned including the best fish of the day and our first double at 10.5 lbs caught by Evan Evans.
He struggled all day using his own gear so switched to our really light gear and using the HTO Sad Shads he certainly caught up!
We'll be out again soon on the big tides as long as these winds go away.

Report on-board Brigand
Back on the Bream again today with plenty more cracking fish aboard. Peter, with his special marinated prawns (that had been steepin for 12 months!) led the way with 30+ fish and closely followed but the multi-talented Brighton legend that is Will Johns
A special mention to Sid who between landing plenty of his own good fish also took the time to prepare the most wonderful fresh Bream snack for all aboard - a spicy marinade which he had prepared in advance matched perfectly with the very freshest of Bream cooked aboard in our combination grill oven - thank you Sid from us all����
A lovely crew once again today (something of a theme here) who made the day at sea most enjoyable, our thanks to you all and we hope you enjoy your catch.
With Bream fishing with us that good we are being asked to lay on more trips, those will be loaded in the coming days and posted on here - make hay whilst the Sunshines and all that!
On a seperate but related note, our second boat is now in Brighton! More on that to coKarl Popexpect coding and final fettling to be completed by the end of the month, Karl Pope is itching to take charge of his boat and start targeting those inshore Bass, Bream, Sole & Plaice so stay tuned for details.
Best wishes

Bream fishing today with my dear friend Anthony Bonsels and his fantatsic crew of Bexhill anglers.
Tony was one of the first people I met when I started chartering out of Brighton 9 years ago and extended a very warm welcome, a very capable angler and boat handler it was pleasure to take him and his crew to some of the old marks ......... and they absolutely smashed it ������
Total count was around 140 with anything under 2lb going back the guys still took plenty of high quality fish home on ice.
Thanks all for a fabulous day at sea, look forward to seeing you all again for some Turbot action in a couple of months.

on Dotty (Langstone Harbour, Hampshire)

Report on-board Dotty
Our bass fishing season got off to a cracking start last Saturday!
Returning anglers Nick, Ant, Matt and Greg coming down from Oxford for a lure fishing trip on Dotty. Bit lumpy in the morning with wind over tide to get to the marks but worth it, finding the birds 12 miles out produced plenty of bass straight away.
Perfect conditions in the afternoon meant great sport all day with many fish returned.
Well done guys you were awesome!! Here's a picture of Greg with one of the best despite being pretty ill most of the time!
Some great tides this week with a perfect forecast might do an individuals day if there's enough interest. View Boats Page

Report on-board Deep Blue
Good Friday 18th April.
Full crew onboard with a less than good forecast.
The crew was briefed yesterday about the forecast, and they all opted to go for it regardless.
A little bit scratchy, but to be expected given the conditions. Lots of algae bloom in the water on the flood tide.
17 small smoothies, few bass, wrasse, pollack and bits…. View Boats Page

Report on-board Deep Blue
Thursday 17th April.
Chasing fish tails, and our own tails today.
Very scratchy out there this last couple of trips. Lots of algae bloom in the water on the flood tide after yesterday’s wind. The ebb tide cleared it up a bit. The dredger has also just been, and they have permission to dump their spoil a measly mile away uptide of the marina, which makes the water muddy.
Fish very scattered around, tons of marks on the sounder, but again being finicky on the bite. A few nice fish dropped. No big girl smoothies yet still, but several smaller ones. There’s not even that many pouting out there, not that I would usually complain about that, but it’s just bloody weird.
Best fish of the day had be Becky’s micro Codling ������
Off out again tomorrow, before the wind comes back and spoils Saturday and Easter Sunday ��.
12 species landed today. View Boats Page

Tuesday 15th April.
A swing in the weather again….. it’s day on, day off at the moment.
7 crew out on the reefs all day.
Yesterday was a bit more challenging than the trip before, today was more challenging than yesterday. Tides falling but still making the drifts a bit swift.
Quite a few snags from the chaps, some of whom have had a bit of a fishing hiatus. Blowing the cobwebs off today was a little bit of a baptism of fire - for some.
Fish all over the shop again, but they were being a bit finicky. View Boats Page

Monday 14th April ��
A full crew mixed session.
Bassing in the morning, smoothie hunting at lunch and the some drifting on the reefs.
Plenty of bass, with lots returned. More than half a dozen small smoothies in a quick hour at anchor. Several codling, a single keeper pollack (weird, they were hard to come by today), a few mackerel and a smattering of wrasse on the drift for the last bit of the day.
Plenty of fish to keep the crew interested. View Boats Page
