JUNE 2009 - WEST COUNTRY TRIP
On the first day the cod fishing on the two wrecks I choose to drift over was just fantastic,in fact it was so good that we stopped fishing at 12 noon and went dolphin watching and we saw plenty of them.The three middle days we fished a variety of inshore marks catching plaice,whiting,gurnards,etc and some big bull huss in the 12 to 13Ib range.The last day we fished some wrecks on the drift and had a good catch of bigger cod up to 16Ib.We then anchored a wreck and had a session catching congers,ling and some monster pouts.
The Results of the speceies competition done over the 5 days were - Winner - Pedro,
Runner Up - Ian,Most Species - Pedro,Best Flatfish - Dodgey Dave,Weakest Link - Geordie,Entertainer of the week - Dodgey Dave,Rotton Bottom Award - The Skipper.

PICTURED are the happy guys with some of their cod catch.

13th, 14th June, what a briliant weekend for the weather, shame the small tides made the fish difficult to keep on the feed, we still managed a good number of bream and three undulate rays between 13lb and 14lb. With weather that good everyone enjoyed themselves, let there be many more.

Report on-board Galloper
2009 has been very good to us so far and thankfully the fishing is still great.we were out on sunday despite the strong easterly as the lads were still keen to go.
we didnt venture too far due to the weather and as the lads were hire rods i didnt want to give them a rough trip.we had a good day after a very wet start and were rewarded in the afternoon with some bright sunshine and flat calm sea's.
we finished up with 23 thornbacks 1 small tope and a load of dogies.the lads and the boat both handled the sea really well and we didnt have one suffer with sea sickness! View Boats Page

Report on-board Wight Huntress III
Hi all
For a long time I have been waiting for early June to arrive as I love BIG Tope and thats what this time of year is all about. A recent trip around the Isle of Wight produced a bumper session with BIG tope attacking all of the rods at the same time! Here's a pic of the first two fish of the session weighing 50lb and 45lb. Great fishing, it must be as close to big game fishing as we come as these fish take their searing runs tearing line from the reel! Great Stuff! If you fancy some of this action then look for a smallish tide and ring me for details.
On these trips we can also go for Pollack, Conger and Bass, does it get any better???? View Boats Page

on Falmouth Sea Fishing (Falmouth, Cornwall)

Report on-board Falmouth Sea Fishing
I have to admit, I couldn’t have hoped for a better start to the season aboard Carrick Lee. The kind weather and healthy work schedule have allowed us to take full advantage of the ongoing restrictions of commercial cod fishing.
The lack of nets in mid channel, have allowed the cod and Pollack shoals to regenerate and this has had a massive impact on our own catches.
From the early days of February this year, we have regularly caught more than 30 cod and Pollack in a days fishing.
Our biggest cod to date was a massive 32lb caught by Tony Ellis 18 April. We have also managed 3 other cod of over 28lb and a 16lb Pollack.
Most of the cod have been taken on artificial baits, such as white or blue 5” shads, jelly worms or side winders and the good old pirks and feathers. Our sponsors Tronix (UK) Ltd supply strung muppets in five different colours and they are great.
Slowly the season is changing and the summer weather will bring the bass, bream and conger on to feed.
Both Guy and my self look forward to the summer aboard Carrick Lee, and we now offer a varied range of trips for our customers. As well as our usual day trips, we do 4.30pm-10.30pm evening bass trips and special trips for stag parties.
Hope to see you this year. View Boats Page

on Duke IV (Ramsgate, Kent)

Report on-board Duke IV
Plenty of species available inshore now with Smoothounds, Bass & Thornbacks along with quality Whiting. The offshore wreck fishing remains good with plenty of Cod to double figures along with Pollack and Bass.
The fishing in the Thames estuary remains top class with quality Thornbacks along with Smoothounds to 15lb.
The dreaded may weed has now gone, this should improve the Mackerel fishing that is often difficult here due to the coloured water.
The quality Whiting we are catching at the moment are unusual at this time of year, we usually see them late summer, we are also catching them offshore on the Mackerel feathers.
Large shoals of school Bass heading up the estuary, here one minute gone the next. View Boats Page

Report on-board Sally Ann Jo
Yesterday, 30th May, saw the best bream to the boat this year, a fish of 4lb 10oz to Lionel from Holland. It was his first bream, caught on his first drop of the day, before most others had tackled up! That’s the way to start, but difficult to repeat. The rest of the lads did their best to beat him and though they had fish all day and a number of double hits of bream up to 3lb couldn’t do so. The month has been good with a variety of species including tope, smoothounds, pollack, cod, some huge garfish, bass, even topknots and cuttlefish to mention a few. The weekend just gone saw mackerel around in reasonable numbers and a good showing of joeys amongst them so next month should see bass over the wrecks and reefs to livebaits. Looking forward to next month with more good bream, bass, tope and hounds inshore and for those wanting to travel cod, pollack and bass on the drift and conger etc at anchor on the wrecks.

Report on-board Predator
I was fortunate enough to be on board Andrew Allsop's new Evolution 30 (White Water) which was launched by Breaksea Boats, fitted with an Iveco NEF 420hp engine, the performance exceeded my expectations; with 650 litres of fuel and six onboard it achieved 30 knots!
Predator II will have the same Iveco NEF 420hp engine and will be lauched at the end of July. I still have limited weekend dates in August & September for either whole boat charters or individuals. View Boats Page
