Some nice weather with small tides it was good to be able to get out on the Deep water Reefs and Banks. The sport was lively with Blonde Rays, Tope, Congers, Bull Huss, Black Bream, Turbot etc.
Chris Roberts was a Blonde Ray virgin, but not any more with Chris catching several and breaking his Personal Best which has now settled with the biggest weighing 16Ib 8oz which is pictured. The Rays were all returned alive.
The rays were caught on mackerel and squid baits on Sakuma Manta size 6/0 hooks.

Chris Harris and friends joined Flamer IV for their annual 5 day Angling Break, we managed to fish 4 out of the 5 days because the last day was cancelled because it was just too windy. We did sessions on Reefs and Banks at anchor and drifting and despite a nagging easterly wind on most of the days the group managed to catch some good fish and plenty of species - Black Bream, Turbot, Brill, Bass, Undulate Rays, Thornback Rays, Blonde Rays, Spotted Rays, Gurnards, Tope, Congers etc. Special mentions for Mark Cooper who caught three Undulate Rays in one session and Bruce Dellow caught a hat trick of Brill. The guys returned the majority of the fish they caught including the 6Ib Bass, just keeping a few Black Bream and one Turbot to eat,"Well Done Guys". Of course the social side of their Angling Break is always important, with good banter on the boat and the guys frequenting pubs and restaurants in the evenings, all adds to the fun of the few days away. The group have booked again for 2020.

Weymouth Angling Breaks - Book Now, Don't miss Out, *** NOW TAKING BOOKINGS FOR next year ***
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. -
