Fishing Report by Les Jones
on White Maiden II (Lymington, Hampshire)
3 Apr 2014 by Les Jones
Report on-board White Maiden II
Last Monday we had a reasonable enough morning forecast to venture out for a decent fish on a small tide before the wind picked up as promised. The total catch ended with Congers of 40lb, 35lb, 23lb, 21lb 12lb, 7lb, 6lb and nothing else. So just Congers and some good fun was had by most. Pictured left is Simon with his 40lb'er expertly controlled to take a fiver from the other five anglers for the biggest fish.
Point of interest I have just completed my Professional Practices and Responsibilities course and passed the assessment. Actually it was very good and really worthwhile getting to grips again with the legislation around our boat work. The outcome for me is a more detailed safety brief and a request for signatures from the anglers to accept the risk before we cast off.
The PBA AGM last Wednesday was interesting too; another directive is in the pipeline for all newly built vessels to have accommodation quarters for crews if they intend to go over to France and the Channel Islands! Be warned, be aware and be a PBA member, their fighting fund is to support us in our professional roles.
This week Rays are showing well inshore. I have been busy with RNLI duties this week but if anyone wants a trip midweek I have dates and spaces, weekends are busy now with fishing charters.

Report on-board Mistress
Another fantastic days fishing today, I had nothing booked until my pal Mozzer phoned and asked if i was going, well I couldn't let the lad down!
With the uptiding fishing so well lately we had another crack at it. Id marked a ledge the other day so was keen to get back out and have a crack at it, it payed off for us taking a steady stream of fish all morning and early afternoon until the turn of the tide, by which time we'd managed to rake up around 40 cod between us.
worm, squid and cart taking the fish
Pictures are Mozz and Dan with some of their fish, well done men! View Boats Page

Fishing Report by Scott Belbin
on Galloper (Brightlingsea, Essex)
Mar 2014 by Scott Belbin
Report on-board Galloper
March was a good month for us around the thames estuary. The improvement in weather must have helped all of the skippers and anglers through out the country get afloat. we were out there too making the most of the weather. The rise in temperature early in the month helped the numbers of thorn-backs increase. We have had some good catches of them in January and February and numbers increased into early march with our best day 37. we also managed to get offshore for a trip in search of an early spurdog or late cod. We found a couple of spurs and landed one cod with several good fish lost as is often the case. There were a few thorn-backs known locally as roker) off here too and all in all it was a good day with some interesting sights as I mentioned on my report on my site. The biggest spur fell to Neil at 15.4lbs and he's pictured whilst juggling it.
As the month moved on a bit of cold air from the north seems to have slowed the roker numbers down a little inshore as these fish can be pushed to deeper water by colder weather. Im sure with the current warmer weather and daylight hours increasing the main spring run of roker will be in on the next set of tides.
We had our first bass at the start of the month and I’ve heard of the odd one or two mixed in with catches aboard other boats and I’m sure they will feature more regularly in the coming weeks.
We’ve still had a few sizeable codling mixed in with our catches in places and there's loads of undersized fish that aren't worth counting but will be great sport come the autumn. We will still see the odd codling mixed in and I hope to get offshore in the coming weeks in search of one or two bigger fish along with the spurdogs before its too late.
Over the coming weeks we will be mainly targetting the roker but will turn our attention to the bass if the opportunity should arise. As I mentioned there is still a good chance of the odd decent cod if we can get to the right places but if not there will be plenty of fun, sheltered fishing inshore.
I update my own website with an honest report on a weekly basis as well as keeping my availability up-to-date on both sites so feel free to take a look.
