  • 15/07/2014 Fishing Report by Bob Marshall on Duke IV (Ramsgate, Kent)

    15 Jul 2014 by Bob Marshall

    Report on-board Duke IV

    Still good fishing to be had with some quality fish although sometimes some effort required to catch them. We have landed some nice Bass on the long distance trips along with huge Mackerel over 2lb. Yesterday Scotts group had it tough with more wind than was forcast but all landed fish with Andy catching the Bass pictured on live sandeel.
    A few Codling to pirks and feathers at the edge of the banks and Plaice higher up the bank.
    Inshore fishing producing some nice fiesty Hounds, Skate & Mackerel.
    Now we are hoping for the arrival inshore of the large Bass, fish to over 12lb can be caught off Ramsgate. This can be a waiting game using large mackerel baits but the reward being a fish of a lifetime makes it worthwhile for the lucky angler who sticks it out.
    Pic shows Andys Bass on a rough day!

    Hi wreck fishing still a bit quite although some quite large pollack caught to 12lbs will put on pictures later in week also cod to 5lbs but not showing in quantity yet, high tides comming up so offshore wrecking from19th July on better tides. Mackerel still a problem inshore but more plentiful 20 miles out. Tope have arrived inshore largest 38lbs will post pictures with cod and pollack later. I,ve changed boat for a 40foot aqua star loads more space and comfort pictures to follow, let's hope the mackerel come to improve all round fishing cheers Roy

    Report on-board Supreme

    Greater Manchester RCSL Boat Fishing Competition
    8th July 2014

    A change of organiser and therefore scorer removed any lingering possibility of arithmetic mayhem at the end of the contest. In truth the removal of responsibility and the drawing of an isolated spot on the boat brought an air of serenity to P Allen Esq. and gentleman sea angler who fished steadily throughout the day. He is always happy to provide hints and tips to fellow competitors who, to their credit, were never put off by their physical and biological impossibility.

    Performance of the day went to our skipper who seemed to teleport himself from the wheel house to peg 2 with his net in hand when someone uttered the word “Lobster”!! The substantially sized crustacean (like really big) disappeared with almost the same turn of speed into a bucket in a shady spot.

    Sausage butties prepared for us by the skipper on the way out had prepared us well for the match. Most of us were soon tangling with an adequate supply of mackerel for bait whilst Top Rod was just tangling.

    There were plenty of Dabs and Whiting which proved to be a nuisance to all the competitors who had maxed out on these scoring fish faster then anyone can ever remember. Gurnard of any type were difficult to connect with but Huss and Dogfish showed with enough regularity to offset the disappointment of bringing up a line after line of Whiting or Dabs when other species were being targeted. Codling and Thornback Ray complimented the scoring fish on the day which was blessed with calm seas and bright sunshine with the usual copious amounts of tea/coffee and advice from our skipper Steve. We all had a pasty later on in the competition but our skipper refused his meat and potato delight probably savouring the prospect of a more up market gastronomic experience in the not too distant future.

    It was both a close and surprising result which paled into insignificance in light of the great day’s fishing supplied by Steve and Supreme and the brilliant company provided by those lucky enough to be there.

    Report on-board Girl Mandy

    Hi this is not a report as such but a warning to other skippers about a bad group of anglers the organisers name is ( JIM TAYLOR ) phone number( 07949322341) he gave me the impression that he and is group were very eager but as we were due to sail his group never showed up and wont answer my calls so not only do I loose my days work but also it costs me money for bait that was ordered so please make sure you take a deposit as anglers like this are not worth the effort as it gives other anglers that do want to fish a bad name, again his name is ( JIM TAYLOR 07949322341 ) BE VARY WARY TAKE A DEPOSIT many thanks skipper of the Girl Mandy
