    Report on-board Yellowfin

    With two different weather reports for Saturday 5th April, we made the right choice and went of in to the distance
    in search of Cod and Pollack, the Cod have been very elusive this season on the wrecks, only some small ones
    caught on bait while ground fishing.

    So it was down to the Pollack to give some sport and they did, Big bob from London, on his first fishing trip
    caught a 14lb Pollack, said he enjoyed catching his fish but would be his last, he was feeling sick for the rest
    of the day .

    Another Bob on his Birthday trip caught five Pollack, a 14lb 6oz Pollack, the best of the day.

    Thanks to Bob, Bob, Bob, Mark Paul, John and Peter.

  • 04/04/2014 Fishing Report by Rich Cope on Mistress (Whitby, North Yorkshire)

    Report on-board Mistress

    Its been a day or two since i popped a report in, its been a busy weekend for us all in Whitby.

    Friday night I ran a charter for one of my friends and a couple of his work pals.

    The tides were still a bit lively then, with colour in the water and the trip being a few hours i stayed handy and took the lads uptiding.

    we took a 15 minute cruise out the harbour to our first mark where we settled in to anchor at the very start of the tide, it took a while getting going, but we didnt have to wait long for the bites.
    we picked steady away for a hour or so taking 15 Cod from our first mark.
    then we moved a couple of times taking a few fish each time. by the end of the trip the lads had amassed a good 25 cod to take home between them, we pulled back into our mooring just as it was getting dark, a very enjoyable few hours was enjoyed by all.

    bait used was squid and black lug worm,

    Andy and his pals from Boulby Potash Mine are pictured with a few of their fish.

    Jon Patten age 48 from Barnstable,Devon landed a 19Ib 14oz Undulate Ray(pictured) and new Personal Best and also a new Flamer IV record to add to his already impressive list of specimen fish he has landed on Flamer IV. The previous Flamer Undulate record was 19Ib 8oz..Jon was using 20Ib class tackle and the successful bait of Ammo squid and mackerel cocktail was mounted on a pennel rig of Sakuma 6/0 and 4/0 hooks. The Ray was returned alive. Such is the quality of fish being caught during anchored sessions aboard Flamer IV on Banks and Reefs.

    Report on-board Incentive

    The fishing at the moment is as expected for the time of year... whiting, dabs, dogs ,a few codling and a few huss. If the weather stays mild the fishing should improve towards the end of the month with the start of the summer species arriving. Fingers crossed for some settled weather!

  • 05/04/2014 Fishing Report by Les Jones on White Maiden II (Lymington, Hampshire)

    Report on-board White Maiden II

    A lovely week (includin four Calshot Lifeboat Launches) was followed by a miserable weekend which looked OK for the Saturday Trident SAC crew. In reality the mist, drizzle and a building sea followed by proper rain and a lot of voracious dogfish made for a hard day for the keen regulars. It wasn't cold though and we were in the right places and you certainly can't catch anything sat at home! Bob managed to break through the dogfish for a decent Spotted Ray but there were far too many dogfish on the Ray marks.

    A possible excuse for not catching, I believe, is that in a sloppy sea and shallow water (less than 45') the waves that bang the hulls increases the scare zone around the boat. Up-tiding is easy with long rods and fixed spool reels and is the best way to get out the scare zone. Otherwise working a very light lead well down tide is good. Or you could add a balloon to float your bait down tide, then jerk it free but in my opinion that can't be good for the environment and is basically littering the sea. Maybe a bit of wood will be more environmentally friendly (I'm serious about that).

    Yesterday John Skeggs was on an early start and went 9 miles but as the tide and sea built they came back inside too. Out deep were Spurrs, Blondes and Congers! I'm looking forward to testing these banks on Thursday as we have a small tide and the promise of some decent weather. I still have 4 spaces at £50pp
