Weekending 19th November 2011
Saturday 19th November the Tony Lavington crew had to put up with a swell and a sloppy sea that persisted throughout the day. One or two crew struggled with the continuous motion and to be fair it was not ideal but the fishing is definitely becoming very good. Tony can be seen with his best Cod at a shade over 20lb to add to another nice Cod he caught earlier in the same tide. Pictured below on the right is Mike with two handy Cod, Tony again and Phil showing his Bass. Other notable fish was a reasonable Thornback, a good Whiting and a 20lb Conger plus some lead cable! The Pout and Dogs were there too, hanging onto the smaller hooks.

Gosport charter boat, Cod Comp 19th November 2011.
Thanks to everyone involved in the comp and a big thanks to those who donated a prize for the prize table.
Also thanks to all the competitors for their patients and good behaviour.
The day overall was a great success except the weather!
We had 6 boat and 45 entry’s that fished the comp. Weather was S/E at 16mph and gusting to 27 mph the sea conditions were testing to say the least, and under normal circumstances I think we would have been up the Solent or cancelled. Any way the comp must go on! So we braved the condition and decided to fish the comp in an area just north of the spoil grounds.
Fishing was hard in the easterly winds, but some cod were caught.
We had 12 cod weighed in, heaviest fish was 18lbs 8oz and a total weight of 124lbs to the scales which given the conditions wasn’t bad, so well done to all those who managed to pull a cod out. I’m sure under better condition we would have seen a lot more fish weighed in.” But that’s fishing for you”!
At the weigh in: Bacon sandwiches, tea’s and coffees were well received, so thanks to Annie and her team at the boat house café in the marina where the weigh in was held, and a special thanks to Maddie, Annie’s daughter for her help in the prize draw. A job well done.
The winner of the heaviest cod went to Neil Turner with a fish of 18lbs 8oz
Second heaviest cod Garry Wiltshire with a fish of 17lbs 13oz
Third heaviest cod also Neil Turner 15lbs 7oz
Heaviest bag Neil Turner 33lbs15oz
This was Neil’s first time boat fishing in the sea, and he walked away with £500.00 of prize money, so well done Neil. View Boats Page

Report on-board Valkyrie 6/8
We had a trip out with Glen targeting rays and bass in a lucky break in the winds yesterday.
the first session at the bass was unproductive with just a single whiting landed and a few bass either dropped or missed. as the tide died we put the anchor down to target some blondes. we managed 6 in 1.5 hours upto 26lb along with some huss to low double figures and conger to 20lb and the ever present doggies.
as the tide picked up we went back on the drift and after a few moves we found some feeding bass and ended up with around 20 with a best of 11lb 11oz we also dropped a few decent ones with the average size of the fish landed at over 5lb. A great day on a top boat with a hard working skipper in decent winter weather. View Boats Page

Report on-board Valkyrie 6/8
Fished on Valkyrie with a group of regulars from Oxfordshire on a bass trip. after a spell at anchor catching blonde rays upto 26lb, huss to 10lb, conger to 20lb and a few dogs we were on the drift for the bass. after a bit of searching we found some fish with most being over 5lb. we had to move a few times to keep on the fish but Glen worked hard to track them down and we did our best to hook them. the biggest of the day went 11lb 11oz and we had several around 9lb with a few good fish lost as well.

The winter fishing has kicked into gear with some nice Cod now being caught around the Nab Tower, the plaice fishing is still steady with alot of smaller fish around at the moment but amongst them are a few nice fish to 4 / 5lb mark.
On the spring tides the Bass are feeding well on lures,theres some great fun to be had on spinning rods, lots of small fish around that need to be returned, but still some very nice fish amongst them, we will be targeting the Bass until the end of November only on the spring tides then mainly Cod & Whiting for the next 2 mounths.
