    Nice one mate, it's a great vessel. I can't believe it was still on the market i thought it was great value when you look at a lot of the others for sale.

    Nice sesh dicky, we went from Cardiff over to Foreland, then on down to Copperas rock trying a few reef/rock marks as we went

    All we had to show for our efforts was one Bass off Foreland (56cm) and a Pollock of around the same size off Copperas 

    Shit loads of Mackerel around though 

    Hi Jonny

    How come you didn't fish the Nash, i hear it's fishing well for bass and tope not to far away.

    Burnham On Sea 23/6

    Got out Sunday for a club comp. Best day weather wise for us this year, absolutely flat calm. Started off local looking for a bass but just small thornbacks and dogs. A move down just below Watchet produced even more dogs, thornbacks and some straps but we did find half a dozen hounds or so. Too many dogs here for my liking and the hounds were small so at slack we shot back up channel to a piece of coral. More of the same but a few more hounds and a bigger average size so was a good move. We spent the last hour failing to find a bass again but overall a great day out

    Nice one, great report and vid. You're correct i have asked about the Meat boat as it's only about 10 miles from Brixham so if we ever get a decent enough forecast to make it worth the tow down we may give it a try

    West Bay Dorset 19/5

    in Catch reports

    Posted

    First club away day of the year down at West Bay. 3 boats towed down but 1 had engine issues so never made it out. We spent the most part wrecking but it was hard work with a smalll tide and strong northerly wind pushing us across the tide rather than with it. I think this put the fish off as the lures weren’t working naturally ( that’s my excuse anyway). We managed 3 pollack on the wreck with the biggest going 9-11.

    Back inshore for the last couple of hours but again the drift was all wrong and very slow fishing. We only found a wrasse and missed a couple of bites. Only mackerel we had was on the way out when we came across a huge flock of gulls on the water. They weren’t diving but picking up what looked like small sand eels off the surface. The mackerel under neath them were mainly small. 
    Back on the slip and a guest on our boat took top spot wit( his pollack and second with his wrasse which we had kept alive and released after weighing. I took third with a pollack so not to bad after all

    Burnham On Sea 5/5 and 25/5

    Just realised I haven’t put any reports up lately 

    5/5 we had our first comp of the year, a short notice one in a break in the weather so only 3 boats turned up. We all started on a local bank looking for a bass but only 2 were caught on the same boat, not ours unfortunately. We all moved off to try for something different buffing ding fish insize was proving difficult. Loads of dogs, straps and thornbacks. We seem to have loads of small thornies in the bay up to around 7lb but we have a minimum size of 8lb and every year it seems the average size is dropping. We then pushed another 6 miles or so down channel looking for something different. Dogs were a pest again but my uncle had a hound and I found a spotted ray for our year long species hunt. A couple more moves then back on the beach but only 2 fish weighed in, none for us. Match was won with a doggie and a hound took second. 
     

    25/5

    Good weather on Saturday so out again. Stopped for a bass at the start and I managed one of 3-13 in amongst the rays, straps and dogs. Then a move around 10 miles down channel but this was dog city. After an hour or so of relentless dogging e moved back up to a coral bank looking for a hound. More of the same though we did find a couple of hounds and I had a tiny bull huss for our species hunt
