Fishing Report by Alan Milford
on Moonstone - now Why Worry! (Littlehampton, West Sussex)
29 Dec 2013 by Alan Milford
Report on-board Moonstone - now Why Worry!
Finally we had a break in the weather and a new crew joined me on Moonstone to hunt for some cod.
We headed out at 8am to our first mark about 3 miles off Littlehampton.
The lads were into whiting and dogs from the off and one very good fish was dropped before it got to the boat....a bit more attention to the drag would have saved this one.
We moved off to a second mark as the tide picked up and joined a few other local boats.
Again the whiting were showing but then a good ray jumped on the hook to make up for the lost cod earlier on. The drag was set perfectly this time!
As the tide turned the anchor broke free so we took this cue to move to a mark a few miles away.
As the boat swung there was a shout and a good fish on....this turned out to be the first conger of many with the best easily beating 40lb.
The light started to fade so we headed back in just after 4pm with just enough water to get back into port.
A good day of mixed fishing even if we didn't find the target species.

Fishing Report by Nigel Lihou
on Optimist (Brixham, Devon)

Report on-board Optimist
Merry Christmas everyone and Tight lines in 2014. Fishing lately has been mainly pouting on the Wrecks with a variety of species on the inshore reefs. Weather has caused the cancellation of a few trips and it seems at the moment to be blowing gale force winds every other day, but when the weather allows we will try and get out. Optimist is remaining afloat all winter and we look forward to seeing friends old and new aboard, February should see the larger Pollack arriving on the Wrecks, with April bringing Plaice to the Skerries Bank. Unfortunately we are going to have to put the price of full boat charters up next year as the cost of fuel keeps going up and the distances travelled for decent fish seem to be further, also individual's will have to share this burden as well. We are however offering customers who place a booking for 2014 with us before then end of February the chance to still have the 2013 rates.
On a lighter note I was offered the opportunity to join a trip aboard Atlantic Blue out of Minehead earlier this week for Cod, although when we boarded the Skipper Mike said that Cod were pretty scarce at the moment, I did however manage to catch 3 strap conger, a Thornback Ray and half a dozen Dogfish, the cod that did come aboard were not even codling except for one 19lber boated by the organiser Derek, a really good days fishing in very muddy water.
