Fishing Report by Bob Marshall
on Duke IV (Ramsgate, Kent)

Report on-board Duke IV
The weather Gods are smiling on us here at Ramsgate with calm seas and plenty of sunshine, this all makes the fishing so pleasant, the fish are playing ball too!
We are getting good catches of Thornback Ray from the many banks in our area, the Bass are shoaling and we are catching some quality Smoothounds.
Mackerel are also around but not in the numbers we would expect at this time of the year, this is the second year where they are relatively thin on the ground, could this be due to bad luck or possibly something more serious like overfishing in other areas?
I keep thinking of the thousands of tonnes being trawled in the north of Scotland! Could these Mackerel have been making their way south?
July and August are probably the best months of the year to try for large Bass using whole squid or large mackerel baits. Pick a large tide and sit in the rips around the North Foreland or up in the Thames Estuary, be patient and you may be rewarded with a double figure fish! Please bare in mind these fish will be females, with huge spawning potential so to return them is a great service to the future Bass stocks and great to see them swim off after a quick picture!
Malcolm Andersons crew from Corby landed 17 Thornbacks on Duke IV, releasing most of them unharmed, this followed a tough day on the wrecks so well done chaps, hope you enjoyed your trip to Ramsgate! View Boats Page

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"!!

Report on-board Yellowfin
A great evenings fishing with one of Newhavens finest skippers, Kurt. Species caught were mackeral, whiting, black bream, dabs and plaice which was a great return as we couldn't go too far due to lumpy sea conditions. But Kurt still managed (as always) to put us on the fish.

on Duke IV (Ramsgate, Kent)

Report on-board Duke IV
The water has warmed up, the crabs have peeled and the fish have arrived! At last summer is here! Been out on the wrecks and we landed plenty of Cod and Pollack on Duke IV. A good trip with the individuals Thursday then back out with Crew Lucas from St Albans on Friday. All caught plenty of fish, topped there freezers up till the next trip!
All fish taken on lures on the drift so great sport and as Duke IV is a sportfishing boat all small or unwanted fish were returned to fight another day. Well done chaps!
Inshore fishing has been good one day then quieter the next, with Thornback Ray, Smoothounds, Bass and some cracking Whiting! Martin's crew from Gravesend had a good day inshore with Smoothounds (all returned) and Thornbacks along with Whiting and Dabs, see pic. The Bass should start shoaling on the banks now, you can't be sure where or when, just be in the right place at the right time, keep your eyes open and have some hokkies in your box! Don't worry we've got plenty on board Duke IV!

Report on-board Optimist
GOOD NEWS: May /June
Things differently seem behind this year, but with the resent turn of warm weather it seems to have kicked the fishing off, down are end of the country. This last weekend showing a up turn in the fishing, plenty of bream and smooth hounds on the inshore rock marks. The mackerel are now showing up, but can be a bit hit and miss, and the Tope seem to have also made a bit of a later appearance but are now starting to show in good numbers.
I got out on the mid channel deep water reef marks for the first time this year on Sunday, with good results, plenty of Pollock a few Cod the best weighing 16lbs 10oz (nice on a shad!). So I don’t think it will be long before more Cod and less Pollock are caught. The fish are stuffed full of sprats, so it will be interesting to see if it happens on the brittle stars this year!
I am looking to get out on the deep water reefs a bit more this year, but with the price of diesel at the moment I have to make sure I run with a full boat, “or the cost of a full boat“! View Boats Page

Report on-board Yellowfin
Went out with Kurt on Yellowfin a couple of weeks ago but have only just got round to posting a report. I'll keep it short ! I hadn't heard of any decent reports so wasn't holding out too much hope but Kurt put us right on the fish from the off. Caught loads of mackeral, whiting, herrings, doggies and a few nice smoothounds. Much more than we expected. Have another trip booked for this week and have plenty more booked with Kurt over the summer as he really is a top skipper and a thoroughly likeable guy as well. Cheers Kurt !!!
