Fishing report by Stuart Cross on Valkerie
Me my Dad and my son Andrew [aka mini me] had a good bash at some Pollock on Friday with Zac. He had a very sore throat, so Dave the crewman had to sing for him as the wreck came up. Its only Andrews second time wrecking so I showed him once more how to drop retrieve and drop again. Second wind up one 12lb Pollock to Andrew followed by a massive grin. When the score sheet read Bri 4 Andrew 4 me 0 I was getting twitchy. ‘Can I have a go with your rod?’ Andrew asked. Now they were on identical reels and I stupidly opted for the faster retrieve reel due to the low neap tide. ‘He’s got 4’ I thought ‘this will let me catch up’. Stupid me - 2 doubles on two drifts to Andrew and I’m still fishless. Zac is now grinning just as much as Andrew and Bri - its not going well. Andrew then topped it off with telling me [so that everyone could hear] that ‘I could reel in the next one he caught’ which by the way was a bass [returned] the only one of the day.
The fish were high on slack 30 -40 turns coming right down to the bottom as the tide was in mid flow. Scores Bri 7, Andrew 7 plus the bass including 4 doubles. I came third, stop laughing Glen it’s not funny. All in all it was a great day with a nice bunch of chaps, I’m now taking up knitting- until next time!

Report on-board White Maiden II
Some good Plaice about in the murky seas. Exotic baits work and some patience helps too. They move through in waves but as the sea is murky and having tested both methods well, anchoring with good bait is best. Drifting doesn't work great at the moment and last weekends storms and heavy downpours wouldn't have helped the sea clear.

A very happy Easter to all. We are now ready and raring to go, following my annual White Maiden maintenance work and routine. First proper trip back was on Good Friday when in the morning we found a dozen Plaice to 2lb. In the afternoon the guys wanted to go deep, which happened to be when the breeze got up and we found mainly Dogs and the odd Pout on their massive and speculative baits.

A good day for the time of year, weather and tide stopped us from getting out for the Blonde rays and Spurs, but still plenty of fish for everybody.
On the last drops I took the pool with an 8 pound.Thoraback, followed seconds later by a 6 and half pound Cod for George the codfather.
Cheers Rob, looking forward to the next one View Boats Page

Report on-board Kelley's Hero Charters
As usual a last minute booking (23rd March) due to a break in the weather did not disappoint with skipper Ian on Kelly's Hero.
An early season wreck fishing was the agenda for the day with Pollock being the main target and perhaps some early cod.
As usual Ian did not dissapoint putting us over 4 different wrecks that all produced good pollock up to 15lb with the only reason for moving being Ian is like a dog with a bone and would not stop searching for the first early cod.
We spent 12 hrs on the water with Ian only stopping once we had all run out of steam and the boxes were full not many skippers would put as many hours in as Ian. Mind you Dennis put in a few hours filleting bless him.
As usual tea/coffee was plentiful as was the usual banter onboard this very friendly boat.
I have been fishing with Ian for 3 years and he never fails to teach me something, either I'm a slow learner or Ian knows a lot, I think I know which one it is.
My recommendation is to always give the skipper a ring even at short notice and he will sort out a trip for you.
Thanks Ian yet again another great day.

Report on-board Kelley's Hero Charters
At 0500 in the morning, the last thing you want is your alarm clock going off, that is of course unless you are going out to try and find some of those wrecks and ruins to gain you and your crew some nice pollock. Of course getting out of bed isn’t easy when it is -2 outside, not only have you got to dress up in all the gear and then de-ice the car, you then have to go and do it all over again to the boat.
We steamed for around about 2 hours before reaching our first wreck, and we couldn’t moan and grumble as the weather was just perfect. Flat calm, sunny, and not too much of a breeze, we certainly were lucky. There were only 2 anglers aboard Kelley’s Hero, who were both as eager as ever. All their gear etc was ready before leaving the marina, now that is dedication.
The first wreck never produced any pollock, we were hoping that this trip wasn’t going to end the same way that the last one did. So off we went to find another wreck, and hopefully some fish. The next wreck proved quite successful, we had a few takes and misses, and then as the tide died down, the fish started to feed. “Fish on” Kev shouts, “fish on” shouts Mark. Out comes the net, and welcome aboard 2 lovely pollock. We had a nice couple of hours and a nice few fish on that wreck, and then we moved on to the next wreck to fish over the slack water period, however this only produced a few pollock as expected.
As the tide got away we welcomed a new addition to the fleet, we were fishing with 2 other boats on the wreck when this fourth one thought it would be a good idea to try and beat us to the start of the drift, but we weren’t having any of it, so in true fisherman fashion, we gave him a “TOOT” on the horn. To which he replied with a mighty “BLAST”, so of course, we let him go ahead of us, as you do.
Now once we had our tea and biscuits, and the tide had turned, we headed straight back to the wreck from before and started drifting once again. It started slow, but once the tide got to a steady pace, the pollock started feeding again. They were a bit picky at first and were only playing with our lures, but as before, they soon started feeding. Even though there weren’t any real monsters this trip, we had a good stamp of fish running between 6lb-13lb. And as they say time flies when you are having fun. and before we knew it, it was 1645, time to head home.

Report on-board Kelley's Hero Charters
Tuesday the 16th February saw Kelley’s Hero Leaving Southsea Marina for a 5th time this year, and we aren’t even at the end of February yet (that is more than the last few months before put together). This time we were on our way out to try and find the last of those big winter mud piggies (COD). We had 6 keen anglers on board all willing that big lunker on to the end of there rod. The weather couldn’t have been any nicer to us apart from the frost and ice first thing. That soon cleared and we were met with sunshine, flat calm seas and no wind….Luxury!!
Once we got to our first fishing spot and the anchor was set, the guys soon had there hands in that frozen bucket of squid, getting ready to put their bait in the water. Things were looking up within the first 10 minutes as we landed our first whiting of the trip. Unfortunately this didn’t last long and things soon got slower and slower, until of course we reached slack water. Now we all know that cod like slack water as they don’t have to work hard for their dinner, Kevin’s Rod was the first rod to go, and he pulled in a nice codling of 5lb. Sadly for Kevin and everybody else on board, that was the first and last cod of the trip.
We reached the afternoon and no more cod showed up, so we picked up the anchor and headed South East to try a deeper spot. The weather remained the same, the kettle was on, and the biscuits were being handed round. You would think this was the perfect time to get a nice Cod, but no, Mark had to go and catch a Conger Eel, this weighed around about 25lb. Our lovely friend the dogfish showed his face on more than one occasion throughout the day, and began to be a regular visitor to John from the Disabled angling club. After a very long and slow day, we began to see a few more whiting being landed, however it was then time to head back in and re think our tactics for another day.
Even though we didnt have many fish, it was a nice day to be out, and once the weather has settled again, we will be straight back out looking for some more.

Report on-board Kelley's Hero Charters
February started with many failed attempts at getting out fishing, it was nice to finally get the chance to go and find those fish. When we got down to the marina first thing it was flat as a pancake which filled us with hope. Once we had de-iced the deck and scraped the windows, we were ready for the off……….
We headed out of Langstone harbour and steamed for around about 2 hours when we finally reached our first wreck. Of course everybody was hopeful, they had all the gear set up, and they had had a cup of coffee on the way out, Now, the tide proved to be a little frustrating as when we first got to the wreck we were drifting at around 3.5 knots. The tide eventually died down, however we had to still hunt around for a wreck that was going to produce some fish. The anglers were still full of hope as we headed out another 10miles to see if we could find any clearer water. Once there, unfortunately we didn’t have any luck, so after 5 or more drifts we headed back in to see what some of the other wrecks produced. By time we got in the tide had slackened off. Now, at slack water you would normally get a pout at least try and attack and peck at your lures, but nope they were not playing either. Obviously everyone was starting to get frustrated, and just as we went to move again, “FISH ON” we heard someone shout. This should have been the start of some fishy action. Kevin had managed to catch an 11lb Pollock. The only good part of our day up until then was the fact that the weather had been kind to us for once and allowed us to get out so far.
Time was getting on and the fish were still deciding that they were not going to play. Decisions had to be made, what were we going to do?! We headed to our second last wreck, 4th drift in, “FISH ON”, no one expected to see an 18lb 7oz Pollock arrive on the surface. Now this also fell to Matt, who had his personal best pollock on the trip before, so he had beaten it once again. This pollock was the highlight of the day. Sadly we only had two fish on board, with a couple of takes missed. The only thing we can put this down to is the colour of the water, where the weather has been rubbish, the water hasn’t had any down time and time to clear.
We are hoping that this will clear very soon so we can get back out as soon as there is a weather window. As we say, every day is a school day, and a bad days fishing is always better than a good day at work. If you would like a trip with us whether it is wrecking or inshore fishing, please don’t be shy and give us an email or a call!
