    Report on-board TROT- ON

    First day of w.c.s.a spring festival 2014

    Hi all were glad to report that the fishing yesterday had picked up significantly since the last time we were out.
    We had a group of lads on from Wakefield who were all about having a good laff with friends
    Thankfully the fishing was decent enuff considering the time of year, tides, water clarity
    For the day we ended up with about 45-50 fish onboard codling up to 5lb a ling that we weighed at 7-8lb on boat and would of also have been in the running for 2nd place in the daily prize unfortunately one of the lads gutted the fish which dropped it alot of weight
    Still the lads were happy with what they caught
    There is still places available on trot-on 1+2 due to cancelled people if interested please use contact details attached thank you for reading

  • 04/2014 Fishing Report by Bob Marshall on Duke IV (Ramsgate, Kent)

    Apr 2014 by Bob Marshall

    Report on-board Duke IV

    Great sport with the Smoothounds now with Marcs group landing l5 last Saturday, Marcins group today had Hounds, Skate, Gurnard & chunky Whiting The Hounds have a particular taste for peeler crab bait, although we have been catching them on lug, herring and squid so the early birds are hungry and feeding on anything that's going!
    Plenty of Skate around now with a good chance of large catches, herring remains the bait of choice but a good chunk of squid often works well.
    A few Bass being landed so hopefully more on the way, lug a good bait with hokkies and feathers good when the water clears. We are gearing up for the wreck fishing now with space available on 24th April.
    This time of year can be seen as the pinnacle time for fishing with new fish arriving all the time whilst still plenty of quality Whiting and Codling still around!
    Pic shows Peter with a tasty Gurnard
    Roll on summer!!!

  • 05/04/2014 Fishing Report by Mick Leonard on Avante (Whitby, North Yorkshire)

    Report on-board Avante

    Well it's the start of the first of our boat fishing festivals here in Whitby and the weather looks settled at the moment which can be a problem this time of the year anglers on the avante will be looking for the big one today and I will send another report of results later this week
    Over the years I have found large pollock can be found on some of the wrecks early in the season which give good sport as well as good eating the fishing has been great inshore lately and no doubt some days during the festival we will try a bit of uptiding on the better tides which hopefully will produce some Codlings but usually the type of angler who enters a one fish takes all competition prefers the wrecks and ground with big baits hoping to land that £1000 cash prize lets hope we can give a good show today the first day it's always great to get in the daily prizes from the off good luck to everyone especially to my anglers who continue to support me and avante and Whitby tight lines

  • 03/04/2014 Fishing Report by Les Jones on White Maiden II (Lymington, Hampshire)

    3 Apr 2014 by Les Jones

    Report on-board White Maiden II

    Last Monday we had a reasonable enough morning forecast to venture out for a decent fish on a small tide before the wind picked up as promised. The total catch ended with Congers of 40lb, 35lb, 23lb, 21lb 12lb, 7lb, 6lb and nothing else. So just Congers and some good fun was had by most. Pictured left is Simon with his 40lb'er expertly controlled to take a fiver from the other five anglers for the biggest fish.

    Point of interest I have just completed my Professional Practices and Responsibilities course and passed the assessment. Actually it was very good and really worthwhile getting to grips again with the legislation around our boat work. The outcome for me is a more detailed safety brief and a request for signatures from the anglers to accept the risk before we cast off.

    The PBA AGM last Wednesday was interesting too; another directive is in the pipeline for all newly built vessels to have accommodation quarters for crews if they intend to go over to France and the Channel Islands! Be warned, be aware and be a PBA member, their fighting fund is to support us in our professional roles.

    This week Rays are showing well inshore. I have been busy with RNLI duties this week but if anyone wants a trip midweek I have dates and spaces, weekends are busy now with fishing charters.
