  • 28/04/2013 Fishing Report by Geoff Weedon on Emma Louise (Eastbourne, East Sussex)

    Report on-board Emma Louise

    Thanks to Mick and son (Aaron) for an exceptional days fishing. Both worked hard to ensure we caught over 35 cod/pollock over many wrecks and Mick's skill in drifting is second to none and always found the mark. Numerous drifts, cups of tea/coffee, pies, hints, tips and patience should put the Emma Louise at the top of your list for the South Coast. Aaron gutting the fish for us all (there was a lot of fish.......) on the way back just rounded the day off perfectly. Thanks again, Geoff.

  • 04/2013 Fishing Report by Mick West on Emma Louise (Eastbourne, East Sussex)

    Apr 2013 by Mick West

    Report on-board Emma Louise

    Managed to get 4 days fishing in, despite the poor weather forecast at the beginning of the week.
    Plaice fishing on Wednesday. A great day with a few fish. Everyone managed to catch a few plaice. Looking forward to their next trip, as they were such a good crowd.
    On Friday and Saturday fishing was not so great, but we still managed to get a few cod and pollock off the wrecks, but needed to do a lot of miles to find them, despite having some good anglers on board.
    Sunday was by far our best day fish wise, with some more new faces on the boat. Again on the wrecks for cod and pollock. No large fish, but plentiful.
    Thanks to everyone on all 4 trips!

    28 Apr 2013 by Paul Kilpatrick

    Report on-board Sea Otter 2

    The forcast today was for a stiff southwesterly wind the lads were keen to wet a line so i told them ankhor down was the only option to much wind to go wrecking i was quitely confident after the northerly swell yesterday and a very big tide we might just get a shock my hunch was right .
    Local lad perry franklin was onboard the uptiding master with his baits if anything was about he would allmost defernetly locate them and sure enough lines went in a couple of minuites later perry was shouting for the net and by the way his rod was bouncing i new it was a good fish.
    The lads fished steady till the wind started to really howl and with slack water beckoning we decided to call it a day a lovelly surprize uptiding was good in april last winter it looks like its going into may this year.

    Perry with his fish a really nice cod.

    Report on-board PLAN B

    Had a short trip on Saturday with a group of novice sea anglers.... Luckily one of them is a Diesel fitter and got the niggling air issue with my engine sorted. The fishing was slow with a few skate and dogfish on a lower river mark, we tried an old favourite and caught a few more, and sadly lost a big one when the line snapped.. thats fishing..

  • 26/04/2013 Fishing Report by Rich Ward on Shy-Torque III (Whitby, North Yorkshire)

    26 Apr 2013 by Rich Ward

    Report on-board Shy-Torque III

    A group of lads from around the North East joined us yesterday. The fishing was far from easy but we did manage to find a few in the end.

    We steamed out to 3 wrecks 18 miles NE of Whitby to start the day and pulled around 25 fish off them. Nothing of any real size though. We had a couple of drops on the 9 mile ground on our return and had half a dozen more codling there, which is very encouraging!!

    One of the lads actually managed a treble on one drop!! A major improvement on the last couple of months. Things are finally starting to go in the right direction and the Algea seems to be thinning out at long last. This Winter seems to have been never ending!!

    The big fishing is literally just around the corner here at Whitby. Have a look at the availability calendar and give me a call for a chat anytime.

    Pictured is Andy from Thornaby with one of his codling.

    Happy fishing

    Rich

  • 04/2013 Fishing Report by Bob Marshall on Duke IV (Ramsgate, Kent)

    Apr 2013 by Bob Marshall

    Report on-board Duke IV

    At last Duke IV has been able to get offshore to the wrecks off Ramsgate and the chaps from Daggers deep sea anglers caught plenty of Cod on jellies, shads and all sorts of rubber lures. Micky had the best of the day a shade under 11lb, not bad for so early in the season. Just one Pollack today for Kev who also landed his PB Cod and a nice Plaice when we stopped to drift lug over a bank on the way home.
    Plenty of Skate inshore along with Smoothounds and the first Bass so its all happening out from Ramsgate. Baitwise still herring around so they will remain a good bait for Skate while soft or peeler crab is the top bait for Hounds, Bass will be chasing sandeels making hokkies a good choice while the lugworm still a good bait for the Bass. Still dates available for booking Duke IV. Whether its inshore or offshore you will always get a great days fishing aboard Duke IV. Check out www.fishingramsgate.com for latest fishing reports, individuals dates and best deals around. Tight lines, Bob

    24 Apr 2013 by Nigel Lihou

    Report on-board Optimist

    Some really good fishing on the Skerries at the moment for Plaice with some good size fish, not many Launce and surprisingly no Doggies, Wrecks still producing Pollack and Pout with occasional other species but the seas are still settling down after 2 months of incessant Easterly Gales. At least we are getting out now and bringing home some fish. Inshore still no sign of the Mackerel, only good sized Herring and baby Whiting
