  • 17/05/2014 Fishing Report by Alan Milford on Moonstone - now Why Worry! (Littlehampton, West Sussex)

    17 May 2014 by Alan Milford

    Report on-board Moonstone - now Why Worry!

    Two trips out last week and some great bream still around.

    Wednesday was the turn of John from Tooting and his group.....we had a slowish day but the fish landed were of a good size.
    The best fishing seemed to be on the ebb that day and we had most of our fish on a mark away from the main group of boats.

    Saturday saw South East Anglers crew on board and a better day on the fish.

    First bream ever for a couple of the guys and again some very good fish landed.

    Again the best fishing was after the turn of the tide and close to my favourite marks.

    Thanks to Final Answer skipper Dan Parker for joining us on Sat and giving me time to eat my lunch!

  • 05/2014 Fishing Report by Ross Parham on Spot On! (Brixham, Devon)

    May 2014 by Ross Parham

    Report on-board Spot On!

    Spot On has been using her speed to get out to some great fishing at the moment, with good catches on the wrecks both inshore some days and offshore on others, with lots of Pollock, Cod and with a few Ling, Whiting, Gurnards and pouting thrown in the mix as well.

    Weather has been fantastic and the guys have all been great and the days fishing have flown by with good sport all round all round with bent rods everywhere.

    Off to the channel islands soon for our first trip this year as the first one was cancelled due to the weather so fingers crossed for this one.

    One trip producing some massive summer pollock with one angler taking 11 double figure fish and total of 20 fish in double figures with most weighing in at 12-15lb.

    Pictured is the Jammy skipper who put his rod down for a drift to show the others how its done and with my fine Summer Pollock.

  • 18/05/2014 Fishing Report by Sam Cumming on Silver Spray II (Poole, Dorset)

    18 May 2014 by Sam Cumming

    Report on-board Silver Spray II

    We have honestly had too many good days in the last month to pick one out in particular. It’s amazing what a bit of calm weather and warmer temperatures can do for the fishing. The fishing inshore around Poole has been phenomenal with some of the best black bream fishing I ever seen right on our door step, both quality and quantity. Using a 2-up rig baited with half a squid head and a bit of rag worm seems to attract those bigger fish around the 4lb mark. Along with this the mackerel have arrived along with the first bass of the year and rays of all species and sizes. One day this week saw spotted, blonde, undulate and small eyed rays all hitting the surface within minutes of each other. As I mentioned in the last report I have done my first trip to Alderney for this year. Favourable weather conditions, for a change, meant we were able to get down to the shoal bank 3 days on the trot. Amongst the mountains of bait fish on the banks south of Alderney we had some good turbot up to 12lb 8oz, landed by Gary Kent. This week we are visiting Cherbourg on our first trip to France of the year, lets the weather and fishing keep up with our side of the channel.

  • 18/05/2014 Fishing Report by Nick Gough on Skylark (Scarborough, North Yorkshire)

    18 May 2014 by Nick Gough

    Report on-board Skylark

    It’s amazing what a bit of calm weather and warmer temperatures can do for the fishing. The fishing inshore around Filey has been phenomenal with some of the best cod fishing we have had this year.
    with one lad managing to bag ten good size cod.

    not as many Pollock caught today but there were alot more cod caught.
    All the fish were taken on lures, jellies, feathers and Muppets.

    What a fantastic weekend.

    We have many spaces still available on 3 to 10 hour trips wrecking and inshore rough ground fishing this June.

  • 18/05/2014 Fishing Report by Bob Marshall on Duke IV (Ramsgate, Kent)

    18 May 2014 by Bob Marshall

    Report on-board Duke IV

    The Belgium fiching club have been back to Ramsgate fishing aboard Duke IV for the last few days, taking advantage of the super fishing we are enjoying lately with plenty of Skate, some fiesty Smoothounds and a good sprinkling of Bass and Whiting. Herring remains the bait for the Skate although they are starting to aquire a taste for Mackerel. The Hounds favour the crab and the Bass lugworm.
    The water remains coloured with the last of the may water but as it clears the Mackerel should arrive.
    I have space this Saturday 24th so if you fancy a dabble give me a call and make the most of the weather and the good fishing we are enjoying.
    Pic shows the Belgiun crew with part of their catch.
    Tight lines Bob

  • 17/05/2014 Fishing Report by Nigel Lihou on Optimist (Brixham, Devon)

    17 May 2014 by Nigel Lihou

    Report on-board Optimist

    Sat 17th May a late all day booking from the guys from Chepstow, an early start meant a distance mid channel wreck. First wreck the fish weren't feeding so a move of a couple of miles put us on a wreck that first drop pulled up a 4lb 5oz Pollack on pink sidewinder, and continued to produce with some nice Pollack and Cod up to 8lb on small shads, with pouting and whiting also being caught. This continued through the ebb and slack water to the start of the flood when the fish seemed to go off the feed it was time for a change of wreck but with the spring flood the fish, although showing on the electronics, did not seem to want to take a variety of lures and bait offered to them.
