Fishing Report by Peter Everett
on Amino (Shotley, Suffolk)

Report on-board Amino
After having postponed Damien Baldwins group for several months now due to bad weather, we managed to get out..much to their relief..and I think the wait was worthwhile ;-)
Several LSD's graced the boat before the first Thornback arrived, then on his first ever fishing trip, newbie Paul Lowe landed his and Amino's first ever double figure Spurdog at 14lb 8oz. After weighing and photos the fish was returned...cracking start....
Then the Newbie struck again, this time with a 12lb Thornback..much to the disgust of the rest of the crew..and so began the banter...
Then Damien who has been wanting to catch a Smoothound for years(and hasnt stopped banging on about it) had one on and went to lift it from the water...you guessed it...plop..off the hooks at the boat...more banter ensued...
Matt Crowe had a couple of Smoothound to add to Damiens woes, best going tad under 8lb...
Next up was Colin Allaton, never had a Thornback before and pulled one in at a tad under 8lb...
Newbie struck again with a couple more Thornback before Damien hooked up with something that started taking line...after playing for about 5 minutes, a big silver fish came from the depths, (Damien got all excited thinking double figure Smoothie) and up popped this cracking Spur of 15lb 8oz(pictured)...I had to triple weigh her cos she looked and felt much bigger than the earlier fish....again she was returned after photos and swam off strongly..
A few more Thornbacks were had and some more smaller Spurs and Smoothounds, a small Bass also for Colin as well as more LSD's and then...... Matts peeler bait was picked up by something that never allowed him to catch up the slack on the uptider, bent the rod double, peeled 40lb braid off the clutch before breaking on the swivel....we will never know, but it would have been something special....
Total for the day was 9 Thornback, 6 Spurdog, 1 Bass, 4 Hounds and loads of LSD's. Cracking day, cracking banter, cracking fish :-))

Report on-board Silver Spray II
Off to Cherbourg for the first time this year tomorrow. Cod starting to show up in numbers, few bass and plenty of pollock so should be a good trip fingers crossed. Awesome day on the place yesterday with plenty of 3lb+ fish hitting the deck the biggest at just under 5lb.Second Alderney trip was hampered by weather last week but we perseverred and it came good in the end.

Fishing Report by Glen Cairns
on Valkyrie 6/8 (Gosport, Hampshire)
Apr 2013 by Glen Cairns
Report on-board Valkyrie 6/8
Sunday 21st April - Hayling - Valkyrie 6 (Zac Cairns)
The first wrecking trip for the club this year. The first trip with Zac at the helm.
At seven o'clock with ten members aboard and we headed out to the banks to try for a few mackerel.
The north side of the bank produced a few mackerel for bait, as did the south side but we only ended up with a dozen or so.
The next stop was a small wreck well inside french waters where we were soon into good sized pollack on sidewinders and storms of various colours.
After a few drifts that just produced pollack and the occasional pout the activity seemed to stir the ling into action as well so we tried using baits. The ling proved to be unfussy, as besides artificials, they took fresh and frozen mackerel as well as cuttle and squid.
Not wanting to take too much from one wreck we then went off to a larger one a few miles away where we had more pollack and ling and lost a lot of lures bravely trying for cod (unsuccessfully).
The fourth stop was just a couple of drifts over another wreck which also had pollack and ling and then we headed back toward Hayling.
Some of us opted to just gut their fish on the way in, others also removed their heads as well, and some actually filleted theirs.
A great trip. Well done Zac!. A flat sea, little wind, a bit of sun and everybody had ling (up to 22lb) and most had pollack (up to 15lb) to take home.
Biggest fish was a Nigel Cross's ling of 22lb and Roy Hebburn and Mick Doody shared the honours for most species with 4 each.
