    Report on-board Gwen-Paul-M

    September has been generally calm and warm and today was no exception. We hadn't run a bass trip all year so when a regular customer booked, with a few of his friends, we didn't know quite what to expect. Live sandeels are generally the key bait, but this late in the year they are not always a guaranteed in the trawl, on the way out. We were pleased to see a couple of hundred eels in the first tow, a great result for the time of year. With the first hurdle over with we could concentrate on the fishing. We had steady fishing through the day, and boated 21 bass ranging from 2lb to 4lb, also a nice codling and a couple of pollack. Steaming home we were treated to a fine sunset over glassy calm seas.....

  • 27/09/2014 Fishing Report by Nigel Lihou on Optimist (Brixham, Devon)

    Report on-board Optimist

    Trips over the last few weeks have consisted of mainly half days to the local inshore wrecks where anchoring over the wrecks has proved to be more successful this year than drifting across the wrecks. We have had a variety of species come aboard if you can get through the masses of Pouting there have been Pollack, Silver Whiting, Some large Scad, Bass, and some very large Mackerel. This weekend we had four guys down from Burnley who fancied a run out to the Skerries for some Flatties. Some really good drifts down the seaward edge of the bank produced some good Plaice and large red Gurnards but with two rods out each and one baited up for Ray and Turbot I would have expected to see a couple of these aboard but it was not to be, we still had a good day on the Plaice with one member of the group catching his first ever Flattie. Optimist is staying afloat throughout the winter in the hope that unlike last winter we can get a few days good fishing in, Give us a call to see what's available weather permitting.

    Report on-board Duke IV

    Lots of Skate coming through our area with some onboard getting up to 5 in a day. Taylors group had l3 yesterday along with a nice Hound while todays group found the fishing a little harder ending the day with 3 Skate. The favourite bait remains the herring although many taking small squid baits.
    Along with the Skate some nice Whiting and School Bass. The Cod are coming in with lug/squid cocktails the bait of choice.
    The warm weather is keeping the water temps high for this time of year although. The mackerel seem to have all but left our area now, with herring
    starting to show on the sounder, making them a fine bait for most species. Lots of small Codling around this summer so hopefully they will pack on some weight and give us good fishing throughout the winter along with the Skate that stay around all year.
    Pic shows Taylors group with a good mixed catch.

    Report on-board Reel Deal

    another great day out on reel deal with skipper dan and my good pal nial fisher.started out by heading straight to the 3 mile bank where we had success in our search for blonde ray last trip out.within ten minutes of anchoring I had a lovely pull down and hit into a rather angry conger of about 15lb. a further ten minutes wait and a blonde ray was taking line off my reel...we stayed there for an hour and caught 5 blondes ..4 over 10lb.
    we next steamed off to find some clean water in search of tope but couldn't find any.we fished close in near to the waterfall in search of trigger fish until the tide eased enough to get to an oil tanker wreck off foreland.immediately we found conger... I lost an eel of 40lb ish at the net but caught a few more eels and doggies.nial had a couple of large bull huss also.we ended the day off the golf links in search of an early cod but only caught doggies tope and a bonus thornback ray for me.
    another fantastic day afloat.the fishing was hard but we caught some quality sized fish.....as usual dan pulled out all the stops to give us a great day again.
