    Dec 2009 by Pete Rose

    Report on-board Sea Urchin IIl

    Thanks to all the anglers who supported this years uptide festival as well as me and the boat, this year we won two daily events with Russel an angler from Mattlock taking the boats first daily prize with a ling of 6lb 12 oz which won him £50 he also won the heaviest any other species overall £100, and Karl Reid from Pickering came third overall with a nice cod of 9lb 3.5oz which also won him a daily prize of £50 as well as third place overall £200 total prize money £400 well done to you all.

    the fishing was Hard this year with unpredictable unsettled weather most of the week although we had a decent number of cod each day nothing bigger than Karl’s 9lb 3.5oz cod could be found all week and looking at the final results you can see only oz’s separated the first three places anyway some days were more productive than others but that’s fishing everyone had a good time and I enjoyed everyone’s company so thanks again for getting the sea urchin II up on the leader board once again, here are a few pics I took during the week please feel free to send me your photos I will be happy to post them up for you Mick.

  • 07/12/2009 Fishing Report by Bob Marshall on Duke IV (Ramsgate, Kent)

    7 Dec 2009 by Bob Marshall

    Report on-board Duke IV

    November has been an interesting month. I can't remember a month with so much wind! I have had to cancel most of my planned trips and as I look out over Ramsgate harbour its raining and the wind is howling.
    The fishing when we have got out has been as expected with lots of Whiting and Dabs along with Cod, Skate and the odd Bass. Jo and her friends had a good trip on Duke IV with a catch of Cod, Whiting and Bass.
    We have had local peeler crabs available in Ramsgate, very late in the year for this area, I suppose the water temperature still in the 50s has encouraged this late peal.
    The Herring and Sprats have arrived so the Cod are feasting on them, good for packing on weight but not so good for us trying to catch them..
    A number of Spurdogs have been caught in the nets so maybe we will be able to catch a few, the law of averages should allow us a spell of settled weather required to get far enough offshore. Still dates available in December and the New year on Duke IV.
    Seasons greetings to you all! Bob.

    Report on-board Yellowfin

    February and March are the first opportunity in the year to get out to the distant off shore wreck's,
    and february was a good start to the year,with good amount's of Cod and Pollack, and the best
    Pollack on Yellow Fin was a wopping 21 pound beauty, biggest out the port all year.
    And the early part of march was to windy to get out any distance, then a break in the weather
    on Friday The 13 of all day's proved to be a cracking day's fishing good catch of Cod and Pollack
    up 16 pound's, Then the weekend proved, a day never to be forgotten drifting over a wreck
    with shad's was the best day's Bass fishing with 87 in total, most went back, and 16 Pollack
    and 2 Cod, caught between 11 on board.

    Report on-board Razorbill 3

    We have had gales all week so when the forcast was for "ONLY STRONG WINDS" we made the most of it, The wind was strong but we could get some shelter from the sandbanks and shoreline in the BLACKWATER, A short trip to a mark that fished well on these small tides last year and we were fishing, I had 9 hire rods on the RAZORBILL 2 but they are willing to learn so it gives you more time to help( and make tea!).
    WHITING were the first fish aboard but then one of the rod nearly went over the side and after a good fight a fine THORNBACK RAY of 8lb was on the deck, After casting out again the angler had another one almost as soon as the bait hit the sea bed, A smaller THORNBACK RAY around 4lb,Not a bad start, The CODLING soon followed with fish up to 5lb, and thats,s how the day went, WE had 16 CODLING to 5lb, 4 THORNBACK RAYS to 8lb, WHITING,POUTS and DOGS, The day was bright and sunny and the wind decreased in the afternoon, As we went in the sun was going down over the land and the sea was calm, The anglers all had a great day and i have the best job in the world.

    Saturday was the only day that we would get out this weekend and with strong winds forcast for the afternoon i fished the river, Some of the other boats went out and i did wonder if i had made the wrong move but as it turned outwe had a fair day, With 18 COD to 5lb plenty of WHITING and DABs, There was plenty of bites and fish to keep the anglers occupied and AGAIN we didn,t lose the day to strong winds.
