Hi Rob here are some of our January catches. I had a nice Dab of 1 lb 1 oz 7 dr taken from Beesands on the 27th January. It was a very fat fish in perfect condition. Bait was frozen black lug and cockles  cast out as far out as I could sling it! On the 28th we fished at the mouth of the River Dart  targeting Wrasse.  Ciarans had a fish was 4 lbs 2 ozs 12 dr and mine 5 lbs 2 ozs 4 dr. Both were caught on peeler crab.

Happy new year to you. Just to let you I went wreck fishing with my mate Chris (ralph) Martin on his boat 'Charlotte Lee', out from Dartmouth on Sunday.

The smaller went 10 lbs 14 ozs & the other a new personal best for me with a fine Cod of 24 lbs exactly .

Friday 29th July - "Skerries Banks" Plaice fishing aboard Dave Harrisons, Dartmouth based "Gemini" - Email received from my good pal Dave Harrison, who charters his orange hulled Blyth 33 catamaran "Gemini" out of our local Port. Dave was at sea on Friday 29th July. Thanks Dave, your input is much appreciated.  Here's what Dave wrote:

We were out on the "Skerries Banks" again today with a good number of Plaice coming aboard.  Mike Ingham of Brixham SAC had the biggest Plaice today. He loves his Plaice fishing and always does well. The lads done a great job today and returned a lot of the Plaice again.

Rob Marshall goes Conger Fishing with Mark and Maitland Criddle -  Report sent in by Rob "Rocky" Marshall of Brixham SAC. Thanks Rob your input is greatly appreciated. Here's what Rob said:

Just to let you know I went out with Mark Criddle and his ten year old son, Maitland and a couple of mates from the Brixham S.A.C to try to catch some Conger Eels and hoping that Maitland might be fortunate enough to catch one himself.  After anchoring up to the rusting hulk we realised the tide was too strong for Maitland to fish for Congers so he rigged up for Bream & Pouting to pass the time until the tide was slack enough to fish for eels.  We waited until the last hour of the ebb, re-positioning the boat to allow for the breeze to push the boat near the wreck.  This was the moment Maitland had been waiting for and carefully lowering half a Mackerel bait to the sea bed he waited.

Within five minutes a Conger Eel obliged by taking his bait and under instructions from his dad telling him to wind down as far as he could and then strike as hard as he could to set hook.  Taking this on board he did exactly that and then the fun started.  We strapped him into a makeshift harness and telling him to pump the fish up quickly to start with, to stop it going back to the wreck, he managed to do this.  After an exhausting fifteen minute battle a 25 lb Conger Eel slid over the gunwale. What a fantastic achievement for the youngster and after some photos the Eel was released.  We managed to get Eels up to mid sixty pound mark, lots of Pout & a solitary ling of 16 lbs. All the Eels were returned alive to breed and fight another day.

Wednesday 13th July - "Gemini" Plaice fishing on the famous "Skerries Banks" - Another email received from my good pal Dave Harrison, who charters his big orange hulled Blyth 33 catamaran, "Gemini" out of Dartmouth.  He was out fishing the famous 'Skerries Banks' on Monday 11th July.  Here's what Dave wrote:

We were out on the "Skerries Banks" today with a charter of 5 anglers. We had an excellent days fishing with plenty of Plaice coming aboard with lots of credit to the anglers for returning a lot of the smaller Plaice. All our fish came on Ragworm and frozen raw Prawn tipped with Squid.  

Dick and Mike’s fish (photographed together) were caught at exactly the same time and they also fished well throughout the day. Separate photos are of different fish. Dick and Mike are members of Brixham Sea Anglers, Richard Wilson is from Torquay and Neil Palmer is from Cambridge. A very enjoyable day out in good company.

Thursday 7th July - Bristol Channel Smoothound fishing with Jason Upham - Report sent in by Brixham SAC member Jason Upham who made the most of a break in the weather to head out for a spot of shore fishing in the Bristol Channel. Thanks Jason your input is greatly appreciated. Here's what Jason said:

I went up to the Bristol Channel a couple of days ago after the Smoothounds. I was hoping to get a double figure fish as I've never had one plus this was my first trip up there. I wasn't disappointed as the fishing was good. In the end I had 5 double figure 'smoothies' with the biggest bottoming out my scales at 14 lbs 8 ozs. Even though I think it was nearer 15 lbs this is a new personal best for me and I'll happily settle for 14 lbs 8 ozs. Once the pictures were taken all the fish were returned alive.

Bass and Thornback Ray Fishing with Tim and Sally Hoult - Report sent in by Brixham SAC member Tim Hoult who made the most of a break in the weather to head out for some Bass and Ray. Thanks Tim your input is greatly appreciated. Here's what Tim said:

With the good weather last weekend Sal and I managed to get out on the water. On Saturday we had a good day on 'Gemini' with Dave Harrison, catching plenty of Cod and Pollack. 

On Friday we went after Bass on our own boat 'Sea Jay'. Sal has only caught school Bass in the past, so she was really pleased to land one of a shade under 7 lb, then on Sunday Sal caught a surprise Thornback Ray down near Start Point of just over 10 lb!!

I can see it was a big mistake introducing her to sea fishing!!!

Cod fishing aboard Dave Harrisons, Dartmouth based "Gemini" - Email received from my good pal Dave Harrison, who charters his orange hulled Blyth 33 catamaran "Gemini" out of our local Port. Dave was at sea on Saturday 2nd July. Thanks Dave, your input is much appreciated.  Here's what Dave wrote:

Cod fishing with Mark Criddle & son, Maitland, and Rob Marshall  - Report sent in by Rob "Rocky" Marshall of Brixham SAC. Thanks Rob your input is greatly appreciated. Here's what Rob said:

We went fishing on Sunday 26th June with Mark Criddle & his older son, 10 year old Maitland. We were in search of some Cod and also to try to get Maitland's first ever Cod, which was a challenge in itself. We weren't a million miles from home due to poor visibility and a slightly strengthening Easterly wind. We had half a dozen drifts with two medium sized Cod coming to the net, unfortunately none going to Maitland. With the next drift and some minor adjustments to the end tackle Maitland hooked into what could only be described as a monster Cod dragging him down the side of the boat and nearly pulling him over the gunwale. Dad grabbed both rod and son and they managed to get half a dozen pumps into the fish before it dived into the wreck, where it lodged itself.  Unfortunately the end result was the loss of the fish .
Undeterred Maitland carried on fishing and three drifts later he hooked into another fine fish and this time luck was on his side and after an exhausting ten minutes he managed to pump the cod to the surface, where his dad safely netted it.

The cod went an impressive 10 lbs 14 ozs, not bad for his first cod. It was a very long Cod and well under nourished, for it's size it should really have weighed 15 lbs. Anyway, this fish along with dad's 1 lb 9 oz Pout meant they went on to win the B.S.A.C. senior/junior competition. A great day out.

Further report of fish caught by Brixham SAC members courtesy of Dave Fortune - Thank you Dave your input is greatly appreciated. Here's what Dave added:

At Berry Head Jason Upham found a good Garfish of 1 lb 11 ozs 12 dr while Mike Smith found them to 1 lb 6 ozs 6 dr. Sean Coulson found more big Golden Grey Mullet in Brixham harbour with the best a very nice one of 2 lbs 12 ozs. Junior angler Sam Jordan fished the same area and caught a Thick Lipped Mullet of 3 lbs 15 ozs 11 dr.

Shore fishing with Jason, Shay and Corey Upham - Report sent in by Brixham SAC member Jason Upham who made the most of a break in the weather to head out for a spot of shore fishing. Thanks Jason your input is greatly appreciated. Here's what Jason said:

I've been out and about after Garfish. Its been hard going on them this year and normally June is the best month to get them but there's been a lot of blanks lately. I did manage a good one yesterday at Berryhead though which weighed in at 1 lb 11 ozs 12 drs, this being the best one in our club so far this year.

Also got a nice picture of my lads Shay Upham (the taller one) and Corey Upham with the fish they won our recent Brixham SAC pairs competition with. Shays wrasse weighed 3 lbs 11 ozs 1 dr and his Dogfish weighed 2 lbs 4 ozs. Coreys wrasse weighed 3 lbs 12 ozs 15 drs.

Bass Fishing on an inshore wreck with Tim Hoult - Report sent in by Brixham SAC member Tim Hoult who made the most of a break in the weather to head out for some Bass. Thanks Tim your input is greatly appreciated. Here's what Tim said:

I managed to get out late on Tuesday 14th June to make the most of a break in the weather.  Headed out for a wreck mark hoping to catch some Cod and we weren't disappointed.  I ended up with 9 Bass and 3 Cod with the best fish, a bass, being a 7 lbs 14 oz 3 dr. The other Bass were 6 lb and several around 4 lb. It's one of the best short sessions I have had. All fish fell to a variety of lures, as the wreck was a bit snaggy!! All the fish had been feeding on sprats.
