Report on-board Flamer IV
A session drifting on a bank produced the first Turbot of the year a nice plump fish weighing 5Ib 8oz and was caught by Paul Milkins. This was follwed by a session at anchor on a different Bank which produced Blonde, Thornback and Undulate Rays along with numerous Congers and Whiting. Paul Milkins landed his Personal Best Undulate Ray weighing 15Ib and is pictured with it. The Ray was released alive to grow bigger.

Report on-board Mistress Linda
At last some decent weather cold, sunny and light winds which allowed us to venture offshore chasing Spurdogs, yesterday as we settled at anchor and the baits hit the seabed we were inundated with conger eels ranging from 8lb to 40lb, as the tide eased and the north west wind pushed the boat south we hit our target with the best Spurs being landed by Ian N weighing 19lb 12ozs and not to be outdone Simon landed a Tope of 35lb as the tide increased we came inshore and found some nice whiting, more eels and another Spur for Ian again weighing 18lb. Today my anglers choose to fish locally and found yet more eels, Blonde Rays, and some plump whiting as the flood tide increased someone suggested we drown a few worms and knowing how poor the harbour is fishing I jokingly said let’s go plaice fishing, what a great decision as on the 1st drift we had Plaice and Grey Gurnards followed by Tub Gurnards on successive drifts and to top it off Malcolm landed a small Octopus. After analysing the results and hearing what the local netters are landing I think this winter last years summer fish are still here.

Report on-board Our Joe - L
Yesterday’s mid channel wrecking trip aboard OUR JOE-L started the year off with some Pollock.
We had to put the miles in to make a days catch and the fish weren’t biting at stages but when I checked the fish hold at the end of the day we’d caught more than I original thought.
We had pollock hooked most drifts but only a couple near the 10lb mark. The fish of the day went to Garry from Southampton. Well done Garry.
A lot of sign on the wrecks at the moment, hopefully that’s a sign of lots of fish breading and that's why they're not feeding as not many had full mouths when brought aboard.
Next wrecking trip will be after this weather passes. Stay tuned.
Tight lines

Report on-board Silver Spray II
It’s always nice to get the New Year rolling with a really decent rod bending day out, the first trip of 2020 did not disappoint. We headed to the offshore banks south of Poole about 20 miles and fished comfortably all day with up to 24oz of lead. There was about 15 knots of wind so we would have had a good excuse if the fish hadn’t been playing ball. Luckily that wasn’t the case at all and other than re anchoring at slack water we pretty much had fish on for the entire day. We had a good mix of blonde rays, spurdogs, bull huss, whiting, congers and even tope and smoothound. Top fish of the day went to Darryl Morrell for his 29lb 8oz blonde ray which was one of 5 rays he had. This bodes well for the next couple of months as the height of the season is usually mid March. Elsewhere we were pleased to get out every day between Boxing day and New Years Eve, with the tides being a bit on the big side we stuck to the fishing inshore. We had plenty of whiting in Poole Bay along with small eyed and undulate rays. Pushing slightly further out for the slack produced some better fish and even one small cod but we couldn’t get away from the congers which smashed a lot of the baits that went down. We are looking forward to our first wreck trip of the season in early February and hopefully some better weather at some point.

Yesterday’s Wrecking trip ended up fairly productive in the end but the day stared off very slow. Almost nothing caught on the flood tide, we had to wait until the ebb before the pollock started biting.
Biggest went to John Chester from Paignton of 11lb 10oz. . . . However the days pool money was won by Chris from Gloucester and Eastington Deep Sea Angling Club with a fish making just over 8lb. Followed closely by the boys from South Wales.
Thank you lads, that’s a rap for 2019 aboard OUR JOE-L, Here’s to 2020.

Report on-board Patricia Rose
Well December is always a bit hit and miss with the weather but we have managed a few trips. We've had a couple up the river but the Cod have eluded us so far. Mates have had more success from the shore so maybe time to dust off my Centurys. We were fortunate on 7 Dec to deliver a cracking mixed day for a whole boat booking. Most recently and to finish off the year we ran an individual places reef trip on Sat 28 Dec. We had anglers travelling as far as near Preston, way up North. This dedicated pair were rewarded were some hard fighting Pollock on light gear. Dale G had the best fish of the morning with a near 8lb fish. On the ebb the fish quality dropped off but stayed consistent around the 4-6lb mark mixed with a few clunky Whiting. Enough to keep everyone busy.
