June fished really well from Poole with many excellent catches of Cod and Pollack, July has started with a 'bang' and the quality of the Cod has improved with many double figure fish and several over 20lb being landed, Plaice are being caught in good numbers with some nice size fish amongst them. Tope are providing good sport on light gear and to add to the fun we are operating Ray trips using spinning rods which tests the anglers skills and patience but it is rewarding.

Mid channel wreck fishing is producing good catches of small to medium Cod and some cracking Pollack, anglers are taking advantage of the good weather and enjoying a great day out using light gear the magic colours that produce the best results are rhubarb / custard and bubble gum pink, make sure you take these to optimise your chances. Around Poole the banks are producing Rays in good numbers along with all the summer seasonal fish.

After a few days of fresh winds the wind dropped out and the conditions became near perfect to venture back out to the wrecks, after a fish less 1st wreck we moved 2 miles and our luck changed with good quality Cod and Pollack coming aboard every drift with numerous full house hook ups. As the day went on the fish kept coming with many being released, the anglers had a great day enjoying good fishing ,calm seas and plenty of sunshine one of them commented this was the 1st time he had used his sun block cream he has had in his tackle box for 3 years mind you when he took his sunglasses off he did look like a panda to the amusement of all those onboard.

The latest comp out of Poole showed a wide range of species that can be caught and how much fun can be had from a day afloat. Bream have been prolific with many good fish being landed but all females being released, Smoothhounds have given a good account and provide great sport on light gear. Rays, Tope, Bullhuss are being caught in good numbers and once the illusive mackeral arrive in numbers these will further improve the catches. Cod and Pollack offshore have been very good and with the back end of this tide the fishing will get better than has been seen for a while.
I would like to thank all the anglers that have been aboard since my return to full time chartering as you have given me so much support I did not know until now what I was missing. THANK YOU. The enjoyment of meeting new people and sharing life experiences is enlightening and I hope to see you onboard soon. Back to the fishing Poole offers a variety of species in protected waters and some wonderful scenery on the odd day the fish go on holiday!!. -

Hi
with the recent weather being somewhat un reliable we took the opportunity of the weather window being offered on Bank Holiday Monday to venture to the wrecks to look for Cod and Pollack, we fished several wrecks which all produced good numbers of small to medium Cod and Pollack, this certainly bodes well for the next few weeks, along with that the Black Bream in Poole Bay have increased in quality and numbers making this the ideal time to get afloat and target them. Mackeral are being caught which will herald the arrival of the Bass and Tope shortly. For more info on what is being caught from Poole or to book a place on board to catch Cod , Pollack or Black Bream please give me a call.

Welcome to my 1st report of the 2015 season and the major change for me this season is that after a few years break I am returning to chartering FULL TIME and will be available for midweek and evening trips starting after Easter, with the fishing season about to come alive with the return of the sporting Black Bream, prized Turbot and Bass along with Cod and Pollack from the offshore marks please give me a call for good prices on midweek trips. I am starting to compile a singles database if you wish to be added to that list for available spaces please email me your details with the heading singles I will ensure you are kept up to date, these dates will also appear on my Facebook page and CBUK .
Since my last report the offshore banks have fished extremely well for Spurdogs and Rays with fish in the 20lb class on both species, one angler broke his PB Spurdog 3 times on the same trip. I hope you take the opportunity to come and fish aboard the Mistress Linda this season.
Poole Town Quay is to receive extensive flood defence work lasting approx 13 weeks at the eastern end (opposite Thistle Hotel area) and pick up points will vary so please confirm with whoever you are fishing with. Sea Fishing Poole is to be temporarily relocated outside of the Poole Quay boat haven entrance directly opposite Tesco express and the Quay Cafe (which serves a cracking breakfast for those of you who want to take advantage before the trip starts) Steve and his team are dedicated to remaining open for your last minute tackle and bait requirements
Hope to see you onboard soon
