wed 30th march
well although its still early season fishing when the weather has allowed has been good. 5 lads over from preston had around 35 fish.about 25 cod and 10 ling. with the cod upto 8lbs and the ling just under 10lbs.with squid and mackrel baits working well for both cod and ling more so the ling.
as we ventured futher offshore the shads became more and more effective, and it was 50/50 between bait and shads.
all in all an enjoyable day. and as weather and conditions are improving the fishing will only get better and better.

August Report
August has started well with some excellent fish being taken from both the ground and wrecks.
Phill Dollan had three nice fish, a codling of 8.5lb and two Pollock around the 6lb and 7lb mark on daylights baited with mackerel strip off of the ground.
Dan Corford had a codling of 8.5lb and a ling of 12lb,not massive fish but still a good size fish for hard ground fishing.
The Dalston SAC from Carlisle area chartered the boat, the weather was perfect for fishing the wrecks, tried the inshore wrecks which produced the normal small ling and just a few codlings so it was decided to try the wrecks a bit further off.
The extra distance paid dividends as it was not long before the first double figure ling of just under16lb came
Over the side.
Mally Walker was delighted as the biggest ling of the day was around the 6lb to 8lb mark so he thought the sweep for the day was in the bag and his 16lb ling was unbeatable.
With the conditions being perfect it wasn’t long before John Rea was into a big fish which turned out to be a 21lb ling which took two pouting fillets fished on a flowing trace.
So August is off to a good start with some good quality fish being caught off of the ground and wrecks in the first week. View Boats Page

Fishing Report by Dave Builth
on Upholder (Amble, Northumberland)
May 2010 by Dave Builth
Report on-board Upholder
Fishing was poor in April mainly due to the water being dirty with an abundance of algae, on the occasions the water did clear, there were a few Codlings caught.
The very first Codling was caught by Dennis Miller on the 13th of April weighting around 2lb and would have been returned but was damaged when it was deep hooked on prawns and Squid.
Colin Chandler had 3 or 4 small codlings to keep on the same trip.
As usual with April fishing, if the weather is settled the first of the Codlings normally show at the back end of the month. On the 24th of April a party of six anglers from Carlisle had 16 codlings to keep with quite a few small size codlings being returned, they also had wrasse, pouting and a few coalies for a bit of sport.
The best day in April was the 29th when six anglers had 30 codlings to keep between them,
The best fish of 9lb was caught by Jim Tate on lug worm, when the fish was gutted it had one of the other anglers Lee Builtcliffe’s hook baited with peeler crab in its stomach, A little disappointing but Lee still manage to go away with 6 decent codlings to keep between 3lb to 5lb.
May,
No boats went anywhere from Amble the first two weekends in May due to the Northerly winds. With snow still lying on the Cheviot and a frost all over the Northeast the first trip out in May was the 12th.
The six anglers that were out managed to catch on average 8 to 9 codlings to keep apiece all between
3lb to 5lb with all the smaller fish being returned.
The best bait being fresh dug lug worm also prawns and squid fished on daylights and hokkis.
With the weather forecast looking good for the weekend there should be some decent catches to report for the second half of May. View Boats Page

weather has been so unpredictable laterly. had to scrape ice off my car and the boat minus 2 degrees crazy for middle of may.
set off at about 7.30 just cleared the peirs and straight into a shower of large hailstones that actually hurt when they hit you.
turned south the sea had a bit of northerly roll on but not to bad once the hailstones passed. twenty minutes to the first wreck.
down went the rods. first off a cod of about 4lbs to a chrome jigger an one pouting to bait [suid]
around again 2 ling again on squid 4/5 lbs each. nothing next 2 drifts. away to next wreck. simalar pattern but a fish or 2 every drift with cod to 8lbs an ling to 9lbs. the next wreck was the same steady a fish or so each drift.
fishing was steady away until after dinner when the tide changed an the drift speeded up and only occasional fish being taken. for about 2 hrs
but later the wind eased [an warmed up] and the fish came on again.
so all in all a reasonable day with about 45 fish mainly in th 4-6lbs range View Boats Page

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
