  • 28/07/2013 Fishing Report by Ray Martin on PLAN B (Southend-On-Sea, Essex)

    28 Jul 2013 by Ray Martin

    Report on-board PLAN B

    Fished Friday / Sat and Sunday and what a contrast..
    Friday was slow - very hot and muggy - the fishing only picked up when we managed a nice lot of hermits in the drop net. This got the smoothounds interested and resulted in numerous fish in the 7-9lb bracket. We tried for skate with fish baits during the slacker tide but did not get one. On the return to port, I spotted birds working a distant sand bank.. we feathered for about an hour and managed around 70 bass. Brilliant fun and made up for the slow day.
    Saturday was a fresher day and the fishing was good from the off with loads of hounds and also skate, nearly every fish caught on hermit.. I tried with peeler and did not get a bite and changed to hermit and had a hound in 30 seconds. Looked for the bass again, but did not see one !!
    Sunday was a total write off - strong SW winds kept us close to home but I thought we would still manage to catch the skate and bass on the banks.. how wrong can you be. We were top boat on the day with one eel and 4 school bass.. lets see what next weekend brings.

  • 07/2013 Fishing Report by Lyle Stantiford on Supanova II (Weymouth, Dorset)

    Jul 2013 by Lyle Stantiford

    Report on-board Supanova II

    Some cracking sport from Weymouth in June and July.

    The wrecks threw up some cracking Cod and continued decent Pollack but the biggest surprise was 3 Coalfish in a week! These beautiful creatures used to be common some 20 years ago from Weymouth but in the last 12 years I have seen just one until this year, maybe they are on the comeback!

    The wrecking in the last week has started to tail off, attention will now turn to the inshore stuff which has also been good. The smaller tides have produced some fantastic Plaice fishing with Supanova's first 7lber falling to Pete Green from Bristol. A cracking fish and one I have been waiting a long long time for.

    Bream in the last week has really come to life both on the drift and at anchor. When drifting we have been picking up some cracking Red Gurnards and at anchor a nice few undulates and tope.

    The Shambles has been a little bit Patchy but with Turbot and increasing numbers of Brill still there for those that wish to sit it out.

    This last week's spring tides has seen some cracking bass fishing with live Mackerel best fell to Mark Coker with a fish of 10lb 7oz.

    The weather until now has been superb which we are all very grateful of down in sunny Weymouth, we are also very very grateful of the continued support all you anglers give us. Keep it Up!!!!

    Picture are me and my Dad with my first ever Blue Shark caught on a bus man's Holiday to MIlford Haven recently.

    We fished with Nick O'Sullivan on Celtic Wildcat. Great boat, Great skipper if you want the sharks he is the man without a doubt. His details are on this site.

    Tight LInes,

    Lyle

  • 17/07/2013 Fishing Report by Rich Ward on Shy-Torque III (Whitby, North Yorkshire)

    17 Jul 2013 by Rich Ward

    Report on-board Shy-Torque III

    17.07.2013.

    Mick Long and his crew were aboard the boat on the 17th this month and enjoyed a lovely day at sea.

    After struggling for the first hour or so we settled into some steady fishing on the 9 mile ground and ended up with a good show of both cod and ling ( with a couple of haddock thrown in ) at the end of the day.

    The group managed around 60 to 70 fish all told and were well pleased with the results after the recent "slowish" fishing here at Whitby.

    Things are certainly picking up now with the water clearing to an aqua blue colour at last.

    Pictured is Billy ( who doesn't like having his picture taken !! )

    Rich.

  • 25/07/2013 Fishing Report by Rich Ward on Shy-Torque III (Whitby, North Yorkshire)

    25 Jul 2013 by Rich Ward

    Report on-board Shy-Torque III

    25.07.2013.

    The Whitby 118 boys had a trip with us the other week and had a ball !!

    Flat calm conditions allowed us to have a good run offshore to a couple of wrecks which hadn't been touched for some time.

    The first wreck only produced around a dozen fish to 6lb but the second one we visited rewarded them with a great 2 hours of mad fishing. The lads ended up with around 80 fish in total for the day with a couple of them into double figures.

    They asked that the group picture be displayed so they could show their mates!!

    Tight lines as ever

    Rich
