    Report on-board Optimist

    A good days fishing with the Builders, Plasterers, Plumbers and Electricians from Torbay. Great weather and skerries plaice, also a few surprises: - small Dab of about 12oz and Red Gurnard of about 1 1/2 lb not bad but tailed off after lunch and when the tide turned so tried a few inshore wrecks on the way home for Pollack and Pout but the weather had turned making it uncomfortable so very little showing (plenty on the sounder) A good day out with many of the guys wanting a return visit.
    Long days at the moment can produce good numbers of Cod but its mid channel with a 5am start and a three hour steam out and back to give you a good days fishing, costs are a bit dearer because of the fuel used but if you are interested give me a call and we will put a group together.
    Plenty of options at the moment for full or half day trips with some good fish out there

  • 06/2013 Fishing Report by David Axtell on Seren y Mor (Swansea, Vale of Glamorgan)

    Jun 2013 by David Axtell

    Report on-board Seren y Mor

    Same old story weather playing havoc with the fishing here. When we do get out the smoothounds are really thick on the ground everywhere, crab being the top bait of course. Bream are showing in decent numbers when the weather is a little more settled but mackerel are very patchy. Bass are now showing in good numbers and the rays are also numerous on the offshore banks so lets hope we get some sort of summer in July. Photo is of Peter Griffiths from The Naval Club in Port Talbot with a decent bass.

    2013 Fladen Smoothhound Challenge

    With bad weather cancelling 2 days of our 2013 Smoothie Challenge kindly supported by Fladen Fishing UK we had another 2 rod and reel combos up for grabs. To continue with the theme of the heaviest hounds, we decided to run the comp through June. We managed to catch a great amount of hounds, with the vast majority in the mid teen area .... we also caught 6 that went over 20lb in weight, magnificent fishing by all those involved.

    However there can only be two winners,
    Tom Reay 24lb 5oz
    Neil Harrison 23lb

    Runners up …
    Graham Ellis 22lb 10oz
    Peter Hamilton 22lb 5oz
    Tojo 20lb

    Did I mention I also had a new PB at 24lb 10oz

    Many thanks to Fladen for their support once again this year, very much appreciated.

    Pictured is winner Tom

  • 02/06/2013 Fishing Report by Adam Rood on Discovery (Liverpool, Merseyside)

    2 Jun 2013 by Adam Rood

    Report on-board Discovery

    Fished out of the Mersey on Discovery. 12 of the lads from work (a mixture of experienced, in-experienced, and complete novice). Had an absolutely fantastic days fishing were we caught dabs, smoothound (star and common), dogfish, pouting, cod, ray, whiting, and even a herring turned up. Bait was lug, crab, and feathers. Would like to give Gaz and Daz a massive pat on the back as they certainly earned their keep, passing on all of their vast knowledge and experience to the lads. All whilst preparing the bait and tackle, providing food and refreshments, and finding the fish for us. The boat and equipment were first class, even though there was 12 of us we still had plenty of room to fish and relax.
    As soon as we stepped back on to the dock everyone going on at me to book the next one, so it looks like a nice little winter trip on Discovery for the cod is on the cards.
    Again, thanks very much for all your efforts Gaz and Daz.
