NOTTINGHAM SEA SPECIMAN GROUP - had a weekends fishing on Flamer III.
Day 1/ was spent flatty fishing.First we drifted the mussel beds in search of plaice but the plaice were not hungry.We then moved to the Famous Shambles Bank which proved to be more fruitful with three turbot being caught in only four drifts.Steve Craven age 63 landed two weighing 4Ib and 14Ib and Brab Hallowes weighed in with an 11 pounder.Steve is pictured with his 14 pounder.
Day/2 we went offshore wrecking and caught cod and pollack up to 12Ib on a variety of lures.Also ling were caught on baits but most of them were caught on rhubarb and custard sidewinders.

Report on-board JFK TWO
eventually after a very blowy couple of weeks, sunday was a lovely day. flat calm seas awaited us.went around about 8 wrecks a few fish off each wreck. [the wrecks and hard ground actually fished better when the wind was howling].
the slack water period proved to be the best time with several reasonable ling coming aboard over this period. by now the sun was out and the teperatures picked up and it was turning into a hot flat day with the sea turning into a sheet of glass a couple of cod just on the double figure mark also put in an apperance. before we knew it the day had flown over and it was time to steam home. approxamterly 1 and a half hours home.a little bit of video was made of the day if you wish to see it please click link to our website then link to videos View Boats Page

Fishing Report by Gethyn Owen
on My Way 2 (Holyhead, Isle of Anglesey)

Report on-board My Way 2
As the season progresses the fishing is continuing to hot up nicely.
Pollack are still being caught on the inshore rock marks; with an average stamp of 3lb, we’ve had a few coalies thrown in but mainly on the small side. Mackerel are now inshore in relatively good numbers, which is in all honesty early for us. We usually see a good run of the mackerel appearing around the end of this month.
Another early starter is the number of tope around, not in the great numbers or sizes as is witnessed later on in the year, but averaging 25lb and up to half a dozen in a few hrs fishing has been a pleasant surprise to some of our fishing trips.
Smoothies and rays are showing slowly as the month continues, Mike Green from Hindley Hare and Hound SAC struck gold with an excellent Thornback ray of 16lb 2oz to take his clubs pool money on a recent trip.
Short and sweet for today, happy fishing all View Boats Page

Fishing Report by Dave Rogers
on Aquila (Mevagissey, Cornwall)
May 2009 by Dave Rogers
Report on-board Aquila
Been out loads with Chris Gill, and we always catch a lot of fish. I used to go out from Looe but one trip out from Mevagissey with Chris and i've never gone back. Its 20 mins extra down the A30 but worth every minute.
I've done 10 trips in the past 2 years and caught double figure fish on every trip. Congers up to 50lb, Pollack to 16lb, Ling to 20lb (common), amongst others fish such as 4lb Haddock, Cod and the tasty Red Gurnard!
The shark fishing isn't something i've done out of Mevagissey but i've seen the pictures, so they are defo out there.
You only have to look at the record books of 20 years ago to see that Mevagissey was the place to go fishing from it held almost every record! Only two boats out of there now and its fishing very well as a result. And the wildlife out there is better than anywhere in the Uk that i've been. Whales, dolphins, basking Sharks are things i've seen on almost every trip. Pilot whale for example (see below) which we actually hand fed at the side of the boat! View Boats Page
