Report on-board Kittiwake 111
August and early September has been a mixture of up and down regards the weather. August weather was poor but September so far has been good for this time of year.
We have had good catches of Rays with large undulates topping the scales at 20lbs.
Mackerel has been scarce this season which is very unusual.
We have started catching Channel Whiting which is earlier then normal, so hopefully the Cod season will start earlier so get and book your dates now !!!
I will be doing special deals for mid week bookings.
Contact me for details.

Report on-board White Maiden II
Well, what a week this has been! Its nearly too hot on the sea, can you believe that, in the UK in June! We have had some exceptional fishing with short trips of just a few hours throwing up some nice fish.
Best was the Monday morning trip with the lads from Devizes. The first three Hounds were caught at the same time, on our second mark, with the best for Pete going 22lbs! A monster freak hound! This 22lb Smoothound was released unharmed after being apprehended on very light tackle in shallow water. Awesome fishing!!! The next best went a mere 16!
That was the trend for the week with lots of Hounds giving themselves up to the hard back crab on offer. View Boats Page

Report on-board Kittiwake 111
May has been all in all a good month, on the occasions we managed to get out to sea.
We have had good catches of black bream with the largest topping the scales at 4lb 2.5 oz caught by Leo Waldeck from the Bridge Inn Sea Fishing Club.
We have had plenty of Rays up to 24lb and Spur dogs up to 21lb.
Unfortunately the Mackerel are being shy at the moment, lets hope in June they realise that it is summer !! View Boats Page

This cracking Black Bream is potentially White Maidens Fish of the Month, a nice 4lb 1oz specimen caught by first time angler Martin from London. He was with the Sigis Bank Holiday Monday crew. The big male was caught near to Christchurch Ledge on a miserable day that had rain for about 5 hours. In the conditions the lads fished well and even wanted an extra hour that I couldn't give them due to a prior arrangement. That's keen!

Report on-board White Maiden II
The Bank Holiday weekends settled weather was fantastic for us all.
Saturday's crew were after the bigger fish with Rays our first target species. We had one decent 7lb Small Eyed Ray caught on a bank and lots of Dogs. We moved off to a wreck for Congers to 20lb before Billy nailed a cracking 10lb 3oz Bass on squid, at the end of the trip and the start of the ebb.
On Sunday the Dyer family had another great forecast which enabled us to head for the Bream grounds. It was all very competitive as Ballan Wrasse, Bream, Bull Huss, Whiting and Dogfish took the various small baits offered. The snaggy ground caused a few problems at the end of the flood so after a short move we avoided the snags and found more Bream. Left is Becka and Bee all very happy on LSD. That's Lesser Spotted Dogfish! It was a sociable but busy day for me but the lovely weather sealed it for all.
My original Monday crew of two were cancelled due to low individuals numbers. I then contacted Tuesdays 'windy forecast' half day crew to cancel when they asked to be moved forward to the Bank Holiday Monday and an early 0630 start. This time was fine by me so we snuck out in the morning for more Bream and Dogfish. Most Hen Bream are in spawn and are dropping eggs so they went back. Young Eddy on the right is holding a nice hen Bream.
Interestingly an Oceanography expert advised that it takes 3 to 4 male Bream to fertilise one female Breams eggs successfully. We release the females and some males too, if the crew agree. It would be good if some guidance could be introduced for all of us to follow! Come on Anglers Trust, what are you going to do?
Another conservation argument this week in the news was the release of 10,000 helium balloons to celebrate a special occasion. The argument against was the littering effect and although latex does bio-degrade, if a fish, bird or animal swallows them before they bio-degrade they will die a slow death. So there's another moral option for us.
With plenty of fish starting to show and lots of dates available give me a call if you fancy a full or half day or evening trip. Tightlines, Les. View Boats Page

The Bream are in! All be it in low numbers at the moment. This is the time when 'pb' potential is at its highest so it's definitely worth a gamble for that 4lb'er! The first inshore Black Bream aboard this season was caught by Bryn Dye on Saturday. That beautifully marked Bream was caught along with the first inshore Pollock by Ian, along with a Bull Huss by Chris, all TOFFS members. There were a couple more Bream and Pollock plus other bits and pieces caught. While on Sunday we had a better day weather wise but we caught about the same with the best Bream so far just under 3lb falling to Alan. A sortie out deep found mainly dogs but also a nice fat female specimen 14lb 8oz Thornback Ray for Steve. Obviously she was released as this is the spawning time for them. Note all Rays and Congers have been released this week again, well done lads!
Thursdays individuals trip was a cracking day weather wise that allowed us to explore. We found Rays and Congers on deep banks but nothing on the wrecks. Wee Man Billy caught and released the best Blonde at 22lb; Roy a nice Blonde of 16lb and the biggest Conger at 36lb; Scott with another nice 16lb Blonde. View Boats Page
