had a crackin day out today. flat calm seas warm and sunny.cleared the tyne peirs for 7.45am. headed to the first wreck in hope of mackrel, [normally in by now but slightly late this season]. imediaterly a couple of rods double over into fish. however it was obvious from the bend and pulling motion these were bigger than macrkel, sure enougth two plump cod at 3 and 4 pounds lay on the deck. perfect white bellied cod. [nice clesn run cod]
another pass and another couple of simalar cod.then one lone mackrel. the first this season. and as it happens the only mackrel of the day. set off to the next wreck. again a fish or two almost every drift with cod and ling to about 7lbs.
a steady stream of fish coming over the gunnel.this pattern of fishing continued as we worked our way steaderly offshore. with a cod of 14.5lbs coming aboard several ling into double figures. then over the slack water a lovely ling of 16.5lbs followed quickly by a pollack of 10lbs both to the same lucky angler. all in all a crackin day afloat just the 1.5 hours steam home and to do it all again tommorrow are well??

Report on-board Flamer IV
MICK LINGS IN A TURBOT - Mick and his crew decided to go wrecking instead of doing the intended flatty trip.A steady stream of cod,pollack and a bass had been caught by the afternoon.So the next target was ling.Some ling had started to be caught up to 15Ib when Mick's rod bent into a fish which we assumed was a ling.What a surprise when a big turbot was landed.Bearing in mind Mick had not caught a fish all day up to that point and had been getting a bit of *iss taking from his mates.The turbot weighed 16Ib 12oz and the successful bait was whole calamari squid.

eventually after a very blowy couple of weeks, sunday was a lovely day. flat calm seas awaited us.went around about 8 wrecks a few fish off each wreck. [the wrecks and hard ground actually fished better when the wind was howling].
the slack water period proved to be the best time with several reasonable ling coming aboard over this period. by now the sun was out and the teperatures picked up and it was turning into a hot flat day with the sea turning into a sheet of glass a couple of cod just on the double figure mark also put in an apperance. before we knew it the day had flown over and it was time to steam home. approxamterly 1 and a half hours home.a little bit of video was made of the day if you wish to see it please click link to our website then link to videos View Boats Page

Fishing Report by Dave Rogers
on Aquila (Mevagissey, Cornwall)
May 2009 by Dave Rogers
Report on-board Aquila
Been out loads with Chris Gill, and we always catch a lot of fish. I used to go out from Looe but one trip out from Mevagissey with Chris and i've never gone back. Its 20 mins extra down the A30 but worth every minute.
I've done 10 trips in the past 2 years and caught double figure fish on every trip. Congers up to 50lb, Pollack to 16lb, Ling to 20lb (common), amongst others fish such as 4lb Haddock, Cod and the tasty Red Gurnard!
The shark fishing isn't something i've done out of Mevagissey but i've seen the pictures, so they are defo out there.
You only have to look at the record books of 20 years ago to see that Mevagissey was the place to go fishing from it held almost every record! Only two boats out of there now and its fishing very well as a result. And the wildlife out there is better than anywhere in the Uk that i've been. Whales, dolphins, basking Sharks are things i've seen on almost every trip. Pilot whale for example (see below) which we actually hand fed at the side of the boat! View Boats Page
