    First trip of 2012, wrecking for pollack, cold calm Feb morning, 8 on board & Lyle, nice run out to the SW wrecks. First wreck produced a small pollack & couple of pouts so after 30 mins Lyle moved on. Second wreck again a few pouts & a couple of nice pollack of around 7lb mark, but Lyle thought we could do better so 3rd wreck only 30 mins away, First drift 9lb pollack, then a good size fish came up on almost every drift, the guys kept Lyle busy with the landing net. Everyone caught a good size fish. Top fish of the day a 14lb, a 16lb & a whopping 18lb pollack, all looking in fantastic condition. Best days wrecking I've known. Well done to all the lads for keeping those fish coming in & well done Lyle for a great day yet again & for filleting all those fish for us all. Cant wait for next trip.

    Skippers Reponse: Thanks Steve, it was a great day! long may the fish keep biting, see you soon!

    Another top day's sport with Lyle on Supanova. The skipper concocted a plan that saw us fill our boots with flatties and even sneak a few late bream abd squid to round the day off. Full report and pics can be found here - http://www.madpolka.co.uk/21oct2011.html

    We left the Dock and Duck at 12.30am Friday morning. Travelling down the M25 and M3, I was anxious about what the day had to bring. Having never been on a boat fishing trip before, I was looking forward to catching a PB or new species. We reached Weymouth Old South Harbour at 4am, we had an hour and a hal...f before departing. Lyle turned up at 5am and We all settled on the boat, getting our gear ready and sorting out positions to stand on the boat. We left the dock at 5.30am and made our way out to the Portland Point. We started fishing after 30 minutes travel to the point, put all our feathers on and subsequently started fishing for some mackerel. We all pulled up a few, slowly drifting along the point. We did this for half an hour then made our way to a wreck about an hour away. Reaching the wreck point with another fishing boat already there, we started fishing for some wreck cod. Each time someone caught, we moved on to the next spot and did this for a few hours. I was starting to feel shattered, so Lee suggested I went and had a lay down (so I did). It's funny looking back now, because those three hours I slept a strange amount of Cod landed in the boat. Filling two massive IceyTek trunks. I woke up and we moved to a Conger wreck. This was more exciting. Lee had said that he was a little scared about catching one. This was seen when he finally landed his very first Conger and the trembling fingers on his rod and reel only just held on to the side of the boat for a picture. With his hands shaking, he re-baited and tried again. Phil was slowly holding on to his own Conger and eventually landed it with the help from Lyle. Meanwhile, there wasn't enough mackerel to keep everyone conger fighting, so seen as I didn't have the gear, I happily took the chance to catch mackerel for everyone on the boat to carry on conger-ing. It was I thought a very positive first day boat fishing for me. I really enjoyed it! The guys on the boat were all very helpfully and Lyle the skipper was (although angry we weren't catching enough) was great at pointing the boat (and us) in the right direction for everyone to catch at least one fish! We got back to port at 9pm and arrived in Luton just 3 hours later. I really enjoyed myself, I had a brilliant day. I want to say thank you to Sabrina first off for letting me go, but Lee, thank you so much for taking me! Lyle thank you for being the skipper and filleting my Pollock! and to thank everyone else on the trip who made my first day with no sea sickness (Thanks the Kwells) ;-)

    On the skipper's birthday, Lyle produced the results for a great trip for Turbot on the shambles with one drift producing 4 fish of which 3 were doubles and the best hitting 20lb. He also provided a slice or two of delicious birthday cake too! What a top skipper!
