Report on-board Mistress Linda
When we should be having a good run of weather / trips this year is the exception with record temps in the med we are suffering from endless strong winds. When we can get out the fishing has been good with plenty of big Mackeral to start the day then off to the Ray and Tope marks for some real fun on light spinning rods which gets the best sport out of the smaller Tope and challenges the angler on the bigger fish. Drifting inshore has produce some nice Plaice to 3lb along with some good Gurnards and 100s of little Bream. Yesterday’s trip produce several cracking Undulates to 16lb, a few Tope to 12lb and 3 very nice Bass on a mark not usually associated with big bass, Keith had the best .

Fishing Report by Nigel Hodge

21 Jul 2023 by Nigel Hodge
Report on-board Seawatch 1
As we head towards the start of the Bluefin Tuna season I am pleased to have spotted our first Bluefin yesterday here at Falmouth Bay.
One large individual smashing through bait, and only visible for a short period.
With the CHART program now well established, the 3rd season has seen very few changes other than budget restrictions from DEFRA which in turn has resulted in
reduced training and only the existing vessels being able to participate in the 2023 fishery.
This I am sure was a blow to those vessels wishing to get onboard, and will only add to the all ready growing groups of unlicensed vessels who are eager to hook into these amazing fish.
For those of you that are looking to venture out this year unlicensed I would ask you to consider the following before committing, I need to repeat " Consider" as I don't want my ear chewed off by the keyboard warriors that simply insist on non compliance regardless after half a shandy.
1 Fish welfare, if your going to return it safe and well learn about the fish first, everything you need to know is on line, bother to read it !
2 Gear Up - Go big if you can afford it ( We've all been caught with our pants down )
3 Have a game plan
4. Have a crew and practise the drill ( It can get Ugly )
5. Use end tackle that's built for the job ( Home made shit will break )
6. Expect the unexpected ( Each fish writes its own story )
7. Before you lob one in your van to feed your village consider, temperature control, correct bleeding, parasites and mercury levels to name a few, all of which will give you the shits or at worse kill you !
Alternatively book on one of the 25 Uk CHART vessels and enjoy a days fishing and a massive learning curve, we are all still learning about these amazing animals so come and join us on the journey.
All of the above is not a confession in anyway of a promotion to an illegal fishery, however those of you reading this will acknowledge knowing a few chumps that get it wrong every time so lets hope we can
uniform the fishery together and that the teams working hard with DEFRA to obtain an open fishery for all can make it happen without too much bad press from illegal fishery in the interim.
Regards

Report on-board Silver Halo
Fishing has been really good the last couple of months and I've found a good run of pollock to keep my clients busy while the bass slowly arrive.
Lures and jigs have been used to great effect and I've just too many pics to upload so I've just done a select few! Please see my facebook page and group for more regular updates and reports.
So I hope the pollock fishing remains a good option, but I'm also expecting larger numbers of bass to start holding on our inshore wrecks, allowing us to fish with lures, jigs and occasionally live baits a bit closer to home.
I've been using some new jigs and lures that have done really well and these are currently available onboard for my clients to purchase.
I also have good lure and SPJ rods and reels for clients to use, these are included in the charter price.
Silver Halo is affordable as a private charter so its worth considering that as an option.
Please see my availablity calander, the unspecified days are usually available for either individuals or complete boat charters.
Many thanks Matt View Boats Page
