  • 12/05/2014 Fishing Report by Paul Smith on Rapid Fisher (Poole, Dorset)

    12 May 2014 by Paul Smith

    Report on-board Rapid Fisher

    Rapid Fisher has recently carried out her first trip to the famous fishing grounds in Alderney. The weather gods obviously didn't realise that they should have been kinder but with one of the the most fuel efficient, wave piercing hulls on the market I knew we would make it across, sure enough we made it there in 4 hours!!

    Second day saw us travel round to the Schoal bank in a heavy swell. Despite challenging conditions we still managed to boat 7 turbot. The weather also made bait fishing a struggle but we had enough for the days fishing. A well deserved pint was enjoyed by all on our return to Bray harbour.

    Day three saw much better fishing conditions with flatter seas so we headed to the south west banks. Bait wasn't a problem in these conditions as the mackerel & launch were obliging. Boat regular Malcolm Nightingale boated a cracking 7lb brill on the first drift. After moving around on the banks we ended up with a 10lb 3oz turbot, caught by Tony Moore, 4 tope up to 35lbs, 3 bass & 13 more turbot of varying sizes.

    Day four was perfect conditions for wrecking. After setting off form the harbour we made a steady 22 knots to the wrecks off of Cherboug. First wreck which is normally very reliable for pollack we blanked on! This was a worry but we moved on to another wreck to the east which produced very little. I then made the decision to move to a bit of ground i know which paid off. We had a few big pollack then moved to another wreck mid channel which produced 3 big pollack. We then moved to the rips which was fishing quite well for pollack. Whilst not big fish the numbers made up for it. We did 110 miles on the way home searching for the fish.

    All the guys on the trip were a great laugh and a great time was had by all.

  • 18/05/2014 Fishing Report by jon old on High Flyer 2 (Great Yarmouth, Norfolk)

    Report on-board High Flyer 2

    Last day of the week Sunday should of been in church but fishing more important! With the end of the strong tides thought it was worth a stab on the 6 mile bank for bass in the rough water. Lovely calm seas still could see the water gushing over the bank perfect bass conditions. We sat and moved 3 times in about 2 hours not a bite! Not even a whiting or doggie completely a big fat zero! Cant understand it fish from there recently but i suppose thats fishing. With that moved back to our trusty skate mark from yesterday and with fingers crossed set the anchor. Wasnt long and soon had few fish come aboard. Still tiny whiting about, nice few flatties, also smally smoothies and doggies making a show. Ended up with few skate pictured here, turned the day around for us in the end. Big thanks to mauris for organising lads his end and also Mick and Tom on a break first timers on the Flyer. Enjoyed the day, weather was great for once, look forward to seeing you all at some point. Many thanks,
    Jon. (High Flyer)

  • 18/05/2014 Fishing Report by Simon Fisher on Becca Marie (Brixham, Devon)

    18 May 2014 by Simon Fisher

    Report on-board Becca Marie

    Well it was good to get back out on the Wrecks again after a Period visiting the Banks and roughs.
    The weekend of 17th and 18th of May saw Becca-Marie Fishing Inshore and offshore Wrecks.... Saturday was spent on our Half day Wrecking trips two ( 4hrs) trips and despite the water still being dirty with May Bloom the Pollock were feeding which kept the Anglers happy.... Although not huge ( up to 5lb) they were in abundance, so great fun was had by all on these shorter trips.
    On the Sunday we left at 6am and headed offshore into the Deeper water, We arrived at Wreck in very good time and just by looking at the water clarity we new a good day was on the cards.... First three drifts produced no fish but on the fourth the fish woke up! The first double figure Pollock were netted and a new personal record was set by regular 16 year old Sam LeBaily with his 11lb 5oz. As the tide slowed down a Cod and three Ling were gaffed the Largest taken by Rafal Wszotek at 22lb 9oz,
    As the tide picked up from the Slack more double figure Pollock were netted , the best of which was by regular Alastair Finch just shy of 16lb and the best Pollock of the day by Daryl Acreman at 18lb 2oz....... The wreck continued to produce fish for the remainder of the day, which made a nice change to remain on just one wreck.!! We had 20+ Pollock with the smallest at 7lb which has made it one of the best days we`ve had this season so far.

    Flat calm seas today cant believe the weather , makes a change! Pleasure to be out . Strong tides still so headed to bass bank in search off those fantastic fighters, anchored up to a place fished many times with great success apart from today! Stuck it out for a while but after nothing but those doggies again went to deeper water on further bank as tide eased. I knew skate would be here prepared with fresh herrings , hermits and unwashed squid made lovely cocktails up resulting with about a dozen skate pictured here are the keepers. We also had the pesky whiting still about ,few small smoothounds all returned along with countless dogs to make the day interesting. Big thanks to Piotr for organising his crew from Spalding appreciate you guys making the journey, looking forward to the summer for a mackerel bashing as discussed. Until then, all the best,. Jon.

    Today headed out with with strong tides up the Holm to dodge a bit of current. Flat calm seas for once and a bit of sun couldnt believe it! Started off with only a few doggies for our efforts so decided to head inshore a bit to a mark off lowestoft end i hadnt been for a while. Nice little result really as wind picked up a bit glad we had made a move inside. we caught whiting which were bit of a pain, more doggies , nice few flatties to keep along with some nice roker pictured here, the ones we kept. Thanks to first timers on the Flyer,Nathan and Gemma, also Owen and Lee, along with regulars Dave,Collin and Andy, was a enjoyable day, great sunshine and a few fish! Look forward to seeing you all again at some point. All the best. Jon. (High Flyer)
