Report on-board Silver Spray II
We have just got back from our last Alderney trip of the year, crossing into Poole harbour safely just a few hours before storm Ali batters the south coast. Strong south westerly winds kept us in sheltered waters to the north of the island for 3 days. The main target species was couch’s sea bream which every angler on the boat managed catch, Jed leaving his until the last minute just as we hauled the anchor up to come home. A surprise catch came in the form of our first and second ever trigger fish landed around the Channel Islands. Andy Armitage’s fish weighed 4lb and was quickly released as it looked to be a female in season. Fishing at anchor mid channel has also been fruitful with plenty of black bream tope and congers on the wrecks. We are seeing an abundance of porbeagle sharks just like last year, although they are proving tough to hook on the correct tackle usually favouring hooks meant for bream. In Poole bay plaice fishing has been brilliant of late with fish averaging around the 2lb mark and all the way up to 4lb. I’ve noticed it has been worth sitting it out as they can sometimes be a bit picky about when they come on the feed, sometimes changing from one day to the next. Elsewhere at anchor the ray fishing has been good also with good numbers of small eyed and undulates about. We are even seeing turbot and brill at anchor regularly which is never a bad thing. It’s well worth bringing frozen mackerel from now on as the they are becoming unreliable to find for bait. We have spaces in the first week of October to target porbeagle sharks as we are going 5 days on the trot in an effort to keep track of them. Call on 07787 375386 to get booked up.
