    Report on-board Ocean explorer

    Well what a change,for what seamed ages in the cod catch rate over the past few weeks some people were actually catching cod .
    The day started slow with only a few fish being caught in the morning on rough ground and as the wind started to increase , it was very hard to do any wreck fishing,so we continued to use the marks we had on our plotter to target some good ground that produced a good few cod well into the afternoon.
    Most fish caught were from 4.5lb to just over 7lb , but nice fresh cod they were too.
    No sign of any mackerel yet on any of the ground we covered today , but if the cod are late , so must be the mackerel .
    To sum up it was a good day for most on board today ,with over 20+ cod being caught , and me only catching a single cod,as did the skipper .........................Oh and the skipper Lee catching a extra one ........................a large rock...........hahahaha

    Report on-board Avante

    Avante fishing updates 11/6/13

    This weekend was a hard fight for fish but we saw a change on Monday with a great day for for Simon and Chris

    Friday we had five anglers aboard and after hours of searching we did find the odd fish with Peter Catchpole landing a nice Pollock on one of the wrecks which fell to bait after everyone was shading and jellying for them as the cod for us were scarce we covered lots of wrecks for not a lot of fish in the end but they were all seasoned anglers and accepted the fact

    Saturday I had a group from Wrexham who had been with me on the old boat they were a great set of lads of mixed abilities again we were struggling to find the fish and eventually found some small codling and haddocks around 13 miles off when they dried up I had a plan to try some inshore marks and some did throw out a few fish for the boys eventually we found a wreck which was holding a few more and some nice codlings were to be had around 5lb all I add on bait

    Sunday I had Bernard and the Pocklington angling club aboard so I decided on a similar route disaster you would not believe what a day could make they hardly caught a thing all day I pulled all the stops out working from around 15miles back into the shallows for a few lings whiting and one or two cod a desaster of a day

    Monday they were only three anglers on a few more never phoned in and I didn’t want to let them down so I decided because of the touch we had close in to target them again and boy what a change

    I think Simon ended up with 14 cod in his bag and his partner Chris 15 cod all a good size yours truly in between making tea and setting the boat up and other dogs body jobs managed a stone of fillets while poor Jonty only landed 2 fish he did loose a few however the top lure was the old 4 inch rhubarb and custard shad nearly every fish fell for them I did try the sidewinder and other types as it always intrigues me why one colour or shape size whatever works one day and not the next but I had to admit being out fished by Chris ladies always do well why? we shall leave that one for another time

    to summarise a poor start leading to the crescendo on Monday this must be the change we have all been waiting for?

    keep posted for next weeks rundown

    Skipper Mick.
