Peter Strickson and friends from Yorkshire joined Flamer IV for a 4 day Angling Break. Unfortunately the first day was too windy to go out but the remaining three days went ahead as planned. We fished several Reef and Bank marks at anchor and on the drift. Quite a few species were caught and included Black Bream, Turbot, Tope, Congers, Gurnards, Smooth Hounds, Bull Huss, Scad, Mackerel etc along with three variety of Rays which included Undulate Rays which most of the guys had never caught before. Pictured is Peter Strickson with a 10Ib 1oz Undulate Ray.
Angling Breaks - come and catch a variety of fish. Weymouth Angling Breaks - Book Now, Don't miss Out,*** NOW TAKING BOOKINGS FOR 2021 ***
A few days away fishing out of Weymouth along with the social side is a nice trip to do. The variety of fishing and the amount of different species caught at Weymouth is probably second to none. There are plenty of places to stay which are angler friendly and some excellent places to wine and dine around the harbour and in Weymouth Town centre. If you want to try a Weymouth Angling Break then contact me, I cater for whole boat charters and individuals. If you are interested in doing a trip with a difference please contact me for full details. Planning your trip well in advance is essential you need to arrange your boat/place booking and your accommodation as early as possible to avoid disappointment, some of my regular groups plan their trips at least 12 months in advance, this allows them to discuss with me the best tides for the type of fishing they are targeting.

At last back out fishing and good to be back. My first charter trip since the middle of March.
I had the pleasure of Khang and his friends,on the way out they were treated to a Dolphin leaping out of the water several times.
As they all had light tackle we anchored a mark to the East of Weymouth in not too much tide.
They enjoyed themselves catching Thornback Rays, Congers, Smooth Hounds and the usual Dogfish.
Also caught quite a few Mackerel during the trip, "good to see the Mackerel are about".
Khang is pictured with his 35Ib Conger eel.
They enjoyed themselves so much they have already booked for a trip next week.
July dates - not many left now, so don't miss out - July 22nd and 23rd are both Reef/Bank Trips and available for whole boat bookings or individuals.
