Fishing Report by Bob Marshall
on Duke IV (Ramsgate, Kent)

Report on-board Duke IV
Fishing remains generally good despite the unseasonable weather, the wind stirs up the water, that’s not good for the mackerel, making it difficult getting them for bait and the Skate love fresh mackerel. Despite this we are still getting a few! Bass fishing taking off now with some good fish being taken lugworm the bait of choice with mackerel fished hard on the bottom for the big girls. Chris landing this nr double on Duke IV using mackeral for bait.
Whiting are still around along with Pouting and the odd Codling inshore.
September usually sees an influx of pin whiting, favourite food of the Bass. When the right weather, tides and clear water come together we can enjoy some excellent fishing with pirk and hokkai lures over the rough ground and banks.
The Hounds will be heading back out of the estuary, somewhat larger than when they arrived due to a summer of crab crunching, giving some excellent although sporadic fishing. This winter could be good for the Cod provided they have survived the summer with last years 4lb average now into double figures and hopefully some 20lb’ers and maybe the odd thirty? Just like it used to be!

Report on-board Flamer IV
FLAMER III - JULY REPORT - well what a month for wet and windy weather and I thought summer was here.The month of July has been like this for three years in a row. Any way when we did get out to sea,some suberb fish were caught especialy flatfish and big bream.In early July the cod fishing on the wrecks was still good.The reefs/banks produced plenty of tope,rays,bream etc.The Shambles Bank was very good for turbot and brill along with a few bass and cod.The mussel beds threw up some superb plaice in the 4 to 5Ib plus range including one of 6Ib 10oz.43 different species have been caught on Flamer III in 2009 so far.
I had some excellent entry's for July Flamer fish of the month and decided to award it to James Mccarthy for his superb 5Ib Black Bream.
Note:Quite a few groups did 2,3,4 and 5 days trips aboard Flamer III in July and have all re - booked for 2010.There is something to be said for a few days fishing out of Weymouth as it offers all sorts of fishing and plenty of different species.If you fancy it in 2010 - then contact me a.s.a.p.

Report on-board Flamer IV
Sheffield based GLODEN PLOVER SAC came to Weymouth in July 2008 to go out on Flamer III but the weather was awful and they were blown out each day.They returned in July 2009 and the weather was a little better but still very breezy and they did manage to get out for some flatty fishing.Their patience was rewarded with three flatty's in two drifts on the Famous Shambles Bank.First Christopher Lee landed a brill then on the very next drift Dave Roberts landed a turbot shortly followed by a brill for Richard Charlesworth.All the lads had never caught turbot or brill before.The successful bait was mackerel strip.The lads have re booked for 2010 with the hope that they get some summer weather then,third time lucky I guess.The happy guys are pictured with their flatty catch.

Fishing Report by Gethyn Owen
on My Way 2 (Holyhead, Isle of Anglesey)
Jul 2009 by Gethyn Owen
Report on-board My Way 2
Only last month I was praising weather, for the last couple years June has been a windy and wet affair but this year warm settled seas have seen us sail regular with high hopes for the following months.
In typical fashion, good old British Summertime kicked in during July, just as the kids break form school and many anglers look forward to the summer days afloat. Wet, windy and to quote from a radio station I was listening to recently - typical April weather'. Un deterred we have set sail on many occasion in search of numerous species including last years elusive tope.
Tope fishing has been a hard push the last couple years with the weather putting paid to many a trip. Those who sail with us on a regular basis know only too well that small tides and no real winds are required for our Holyhead Deep adventures.
So far we have managed to fish in the deeps on quite a number of occasions with some fairly good results.
The tope have not been big by Holyhead standards, but the number of pack tope averaging 20 - 25lb offer some excellent sport on light gear and also great hopes for the coming weeks, when numbers tend to increase and sizes tend to double and often exceed the 60lb mark.
Returning to our recent catches, all species have a hold on us for different reasons. Wrasse fishing though can offer you adrenalin pumping action and more, basically a much greater chance of success. Whilst afloat the most popular and productive form of fishing for wrasse is on the drift. More often than not the grounds you will be fishing will be relatively close to shore, in shallow waters of below 60ft. By nature of the wrasses habitat, these grounds will be weed covered rocky areas; therefore tackle loss will be inevitable during your quest for these hard fighting species. But lb for lb, they are offer some of the best sport in UK waters
With plenty of huss, rays, gurnards, dogfish, whiting, codling and many other species coming aboard My Way, hopefully the weather for the next few weeks will settle down for us to enjoy our fishing once again. View Boats Page

Report on-board Flamer IV
BEGINNERS LUCK - Andy Rollett age 37 a pub manager from Bath on his first ever fishing trip landed a superb plaice weighing 6Ib 10oz while drifting a mussel bed.The big plaice came up no bother until about 30 foot from the boat then it woke up and gave Andy some heart stopping moments as it made several runs for freedom.
Andy was using borrowed tackle from his pal Alan Curtis who had invited him along.The successful bait was ragworm and squid strip presented on a two hook flatty trace with lots of attractor beads and some small blades on.Andy also caught a 4Ib cod and some black bream earlier in the day.This plaice is the biggest caught on Flamer III this year.Andy is pictured with his big plaice catch.
Tom Songhurst from Sussex caught his personal best plaice weighing 4Ib 4oz just minutes before Andy struck into his big spottie. View Boats Page

Fishing Report by john naisbitt
on Supreme (Rhyl, Denbighshire)

Report on-board Supreme
Cracking day on 11th July. Mackies were difficult to come by and it was hour and a half before we hit them in numbers some way out. Off the same mark Paul from Stockport reeled in a 41lb Tope, a cracking fish which took him some time to download the 'rush'. Back to a mark off Prestatyn and the fun started with two snapped lines before a number were hauled aboard between 20-30lb. Weather was great despite a poor forecast. Geoff's bass was a surprise but a nice fish which will look good on the plate. Big Glenn was looking blankish but came in with a late double.
