TWO MORE SMALLER ONES CAME FROM THE SAME MARK BUT NOT TO BEAT THIS FELLA.

    SUNDAY 13TH JUNE

    Today was a trip to the offshore banks to fish for the bass. Four individuals made up the trip. First up we had to catch some launce our chosen bait for the day. Using small Sabikis and shrimp rigs we soon had enough for the trip. Using the launce as livebait we set about catching some bass. Just on the one tide we fished they landed over 30 bass between them ranging between 2.5lbs up to 9.lbs couldn’t hit the magic double figure fish today but some good size bass were caught with the majority in the 4-7lb range. On the way in the lads wanted to try for some cod. I didn’t hold out much hope, as we have not been catching much off these inshore wrecks this year yet. But I hadn’t fished this one yet so we gave it a go. The little trawler came up trumps. After only 30 minutes they all had 5 cod each. all ranging between 3-8lb so a nice end to a good days fishing.

    Report on-board Flamer IV

    THE ROYAL HOTEL TOTTINGTON from Bury did their second weekend trip of the year aboard Flamer III and did two days wreck fishing catching some excellent cod and numerous pollack along with some pain in the ass pouts.Alan Bradshaw the boat booking secretary was pleased with a cod weighing 14Ib 8oz he landed and commented it was the best cod he had caught for a few years.He was out done though by club member Paul Snowden who landed an 18Ib 8oz cod (Paul is Pictured with his big cod).The cod were caught on a variety of lures such as sidewinders,Shads etc with the pollack being caught on mainly firetail jelly worms. During the two days a lot of gear was lost on the wrecks and a common cry was "I've lost the fu**ing lot" which I think will now be the new club motto.The lads enjoyed their weekend and are looking forward to their next weekend trip aboard Flamer III in September and have already booked their dates for 2011.

    The fishing has been very good at the moment, with some nice big Tope showing, alonst alot of smaller one's.
    I've done a couple of Bass charters on the banks, with good results. The mid channel marks are produce good bags of Cod and Pollock, the fish are in prime condition and mostly double figure fish. Its all looking very good,"long may it last"!!

    "Tight lines"

    Pity the weather has turned sour this mid week, Warrior has seen some fine fish decked for the previous fortnight, with some calm sunny days to add to the pleasure.Forecast looking a bit more promising for the weekend if the swell does not grow.

    FRI 4TH/SAT 5TH JUNE


    Friday saw an individuals trip out to the wrecks. Over 40 cod were landed with the biggest falling to Robin Turpin with a fish of 13lb 8oz. The fish are still of real good quality but unfortunately are not on all the wrecks out there. Again the uncharted wrecks produced all the fish but a nice surprise today was a bass of 7lb 6oz for Ian. Which is unusual, as we don’t see bass on the wrecks till a bit later in the month.
    Saturday’s trip again was out to the distant wrecks. Much the same as Friday really for the party of five, best fish was a tad smaller than yesterday at 13lb landed by Tony Gossage but the quality was superb again with 10-15 low doubles again. A small Ling of 6lb was also caught today. Pollock seemed to have disappeared for a bit we only landed a couple over the weekend but normally put in an appearance again a bit later in the year.
