Report on-board Aries 3
Our first few days fishing since starting up our business have proven to be very productive with some cracking inshore fishing on the local banks and reefs. The Friday proved to be tricky with the weather but we managed to fish a reef which produced some nice tope / congers / rays a great effort by Graeme and his team sticking it out on a very wet day. Saturday proved to be the complete opposite with the weather giving us flat calm conditions allowing us to head to the banks off Portland bill where we had a great day fishing for blonde rays and turbot. Biggest ray going 15lb 4oz and best turbot of 6lb 2oz great effort by Derbs and Jord. Finally Sunday we had a shorter 4 hr trip which produced some congers and rays providing great sport from a local wreck all in all a great weekend.

Report on-board Lady Margaret
The annual maintenance is now complete and "Lady Margaret" is back in the water. Despite some very unsettled weather considering it is May we have had some good fishing for a variety of species.
View Boats Page
There are currently lots of black bream around. All the local marks have been producing fish. We are still awaiting our first three pounder of the year but there are plenty of fish in the 1lb 8oz to 2lb class which give excellent sport on light tackle.
The plaice fishing has been hit and miss. There are some nice sized keepers around but you need the right conditions to get them feeding. The big storm late in the month disturbed the fishing for a while but we had a decent catch at the end of the month. We have also had mackerel, gurnards and bass coming aboard during the plaice sessions.
All this fishing is done with very light tackle and is available in local waters reached in minimal travelling time and sheltered from northerly and westerly winds.
Further out there are some nice sized bass. We did our first bassing trip of the year at the end of the month. The fishing was a bit slow but the fish were of a good average size including a fish of 10lb 12oz our first double figure bass of the year. -

Report on-board Lady Margaret
After an extended period with no fishing due to the lockdown it was great to get out to sea again. Both for the fishing and to be able to blast a bit of weed growth off the hull! Due to the restrictions I was just taking a single angler out so just two of us fishing.

Inshore there are lots of plaice around. Mainly small fish but a few nice keeper sized fish as well. One memorable short drift produced eight fish. They are in excellent condition considering it is right at the start of the season.
During the middle of the month there was a period of calm weather coinciding with very small tides which are ideal for deep water anchoring. These produced a nice variety of fish. We caught lots of congers, smoothhound and a nice double figure undulate ray in addition to the ubiquitous dogfish and pouting. The spurdog fishing was slow but we did land fish to just under 17lb. -
