  • 10/06/2012 Fishing Report by Ray Martin on PLAN B (Southend-On-Sea, Essex)

    10 Jun 2012 by Ray Martin

    Report on-board PLAN B

    After another week of diabolical weather we had a small break promised by the met office. For once they got the prediction spot on.. We left at 0600 on a flat calm sunny Sunday morning - Heaven.
    The angling party were on their annual competition and expectations were running high as the Thames is fishing brilliant at the moment.. I agreed to keep the scores and at around 0730 the fishing started.. From the off they hit smoothounds and bass, the best one came when the tide slackened and we moved to a small wreck, this weighed in at just under 18lb and was a personal best ever fish for Alan Tidd.
    I decided to have a go as I had promised a friend a skate for his tea, I almost immediately caught the second double figure hound of the day.
    We had a short play over low water trying to catch bass in the wrecks and had one about 3lb and my first mackerel of the year.. a surprise dab and loads of dogs were also caught. The wind got up as the day went on, so we moved into the shallows for the flood and were rewarded with more hounds and a couple of skate.
    The winning angler had 5 hounds and a dog fish. Total hounds caught was 26 , 4 Bass to 5lb , 2 skate, 8 dogs, a dab , 30 whiting and a mackerel.. all in all a great day.

  • 06/2012 Fishing Report by Ross Parham on Spot On! (Brixham, Devon)

    Jun 2012 by Ross Parham

    Report on-board Spot On!

    Thanks to the weather man and the MET office for again getting the forecast wrong!
    But we braved the weather and headed out wrecking, with conditions far from perfect we still managed a good haul, with plenty of prime pollock up to 11lb and some nice Cod up to 14lb, a lone channel whititng and some pouting made up the days catch.

    I would just liked to say thanks to those who were on board and for putting up with the weather and battling the elements. But hey thats what 'summer' fishing is all about.
    All in all a good catch for the day.

    Ross

  • 07/06/2012 Fishing Report by Rich Ward on Shy-Torque III (Whitby, North Yorkshire)

    7 Jun 2012 by Rich Ward

    Report on-board Shy-Torque III

    Steve Burrows and some of his mates from part of the Warwickshire Constabulary joined us the other day.

    With the weather forecast being slightly against us for the afternoon we decided it would be in our favour to stay relatively close to Whitby and work the ground between the 5 and 7 mile with some great results on the cod!!

    Best fish on the day was Steve's cod of 13lb which, unfortunately for my camera he filleted before I had chance to get a picture!! Think his mate got one though so I will post it up afterwards.

    The Summer fishing is here lads and is superb at the moment !!

    If you are fancying a day on the Shy -Torque III we are fully booked every day through June and only have a couple of days left in July.

    In July, apart from ( 25th room for 9 ) and ( 31st room for 7 ) every other day is also fully booked so get your trips organised for August and September a.s.a.p so as to avoid disappointment !!

    The September competition is filling quickly now. Dates for this comp are 8th - 23rd. There are big cash prizes on offer so get your places booked for a chance to win up to £1000.00 in cash !!

    Wherever you're fishing lads lets hope it's as fruitful as Whitby is at the moment ! ! !

  • 02/06/2012 Fishing Report by carl porter on Hard Labour (Wallasea Island, Essex)

    2 Jun 2012 by carl porter

    Report on-board Hard Labour

    With the forecast again not looking promising, we headed offshore in search of bass, hoping to nick the morning out there before conditions forced us from the offshore marks. In a little over an hour from leaving the marina we were fishing and although the seas were choppy, the fish were obliging. As the morning progressed the sea state worsened and at high tide we pulled the pick and punched our way back in through 6 to 8 ft breaking seas, to find some shelter.

    We anchored a mark on the mouth of the river and again the fish were biting but only small hounds and the weed was becoming a problem. The decision was made to try something a little different for the last hour rather than tie her up early. so up came the anchor and off we went.

    This time we set anchor in about 14ft on a dropping tide, with not a great deal of expectation from the mark, but from the off the bass were feeding. They were not big fish but there was plenty of them and mixed in were some keepers up to 3lb ish.

    When we finally settled her on the moorings a good day was had by all, final tally was 40 plus bass, a lot of which came from the final mark, about 12 of which were kept, lots of small hounds to 6.5lb ish from the offshore mark, the ever present lsd, a few dabs and a solitary flounder.

    Report on-board Shy-Torque III

    Gary Hurling and his team from Boston Unity SAC joined us again the other day and what a day it was !

    The cod fishing here at Whitby is as good as it gets whether we are working inshore or distance at the moment.

    We decided to start inshore and this is where we stayed for the day ( inshore being 2 miles off !! ) The lads all ending up with enough fish to keep them more than happy.

    The mythological stories that the cod stocks in the North Sea are depleted are complete and utter ( excuse the pun ) "codswallop". Over the last 7 or 8 years the fishing here has become as prolific as ever.

    Gary and the lads are pictured with just a few of their fish for the day.
