  • 09/04/2010 Fishing Report by Bob Marshall on Duke IV (Ramsgate, Kent)

    9 Apr 2010 by Bob Marshall

    Report on-board Duke IV


    Fishing on Duke IV now much improved with the arrival of the summer species. This along with the spring run of Cod and Thornbacks we are keeping the angler’s busy! Also being caught are some quality Whiting and Dabs!
    Smoothounds and Bass, although mostly small are here and feeding so by moving about we can have a good mixed bag of fish!
    Some large Bass being landed in the nets, it would appear that these fish are travelling so not interested in our baits, mores the pity!
    The Cod will be moving off to the wrecks by the end of the month to join the Pollack that will be there already. Shads, Redgills and jellyworms are the way to fish the wrecks here off Ramsgate with Hokkies and pirks on the banks.
    A Ramsgate restaurant was recently offering local caught Halibut steaks, getting ready to report them to trading standards under the Bulldung heading I was surprised to find that a local netting boat actually landed the fish, weighing 65lb just three miles out from the harbour, this same boat has also landed some good Turbot and Brill, so they are here, just got to get em on rod&line!

  • 15/03/2010 Fishing Report by Sam Cumming on Silver Spray II (Poole, Dorset)

    15 Mar 2010 by Sam Cumming

    Report on-board Silver Spray II

    March Report

    On the banks the fishing has continued to be excellent on the neap tides with plenty of blonde rays, congers and big spurdogs. We have also had some bonus pollack, cod and bass to go with the main catch. Sky sports have made a film of our banks fishing and you can see this soon on Tight Lines which is broadcast on Friday evenings. While presenter Andy Ford and the film crew were aboard we had cod to 15lb, congers to 35lb and 10 spurdogs all in double figures. It will be shown on Tight lines Friday 9th April at 18.30 on Sky Sports 2

    The plaice have started to appear on the Shambles and the best was a lovely fish of 4lb 8oz which fell to Bournemouth angler Dave Jensen. Turbot have been slow which is perhaps linked to the shortage of sandeels. We managed 1 eel in 2 20 minute tows. The water seems to be too cold and the eels are still buried in the sand. On the offshore wrecks we have found a few Pollack to 14lb and congers to 50lb.

    We are eagerly awaiting the arrival of the bream in April together with the turbot on the banks and increasing numbers of Pollack and cod on the offshore wrecks.

  • 30/03/2010 Fishing Report by Rich Ward on Shy-Torque III (Whitby, North Yorkshire)

    30 Mar 2010 by Rich Ward

    Report on-board Shy-Torque III

    The last few trips here at Whitby have proven quite fruitful with the ground inshore ( 9 mile ) producing some nice cod on the shad this last week. The offshore marks such as the " Wall " ( 27 miles ) are fishing very well when we can get there for the weather. The next trip out is this weekend. Lets hope the weather holds favourable for all anglers around the country.......cheers.........Rich
