Best Fish Recorded in 2010
Bream Black |
Overseas |
Saturday July 24th 2010 - Hayling (Langstone) - Valkyrie (Glenn Cairns)We started out at seven o'clock start for a day out on the wrecks. We started by having a couple of drifts over some rough ground for mackerel (with a couple trying the sidewinders in case there were any cod on the ground). With the mackerel ready in the box we headed for the first wreck. As the cod had been do elusive recently we just had a couple of drifts to start with and then dropped the anchor for a try with baits. The bream were also a bit scarce but there were plenty of pollack around as well as a few conger. Having anchored twice and fished the wreck from both sides, it was back to drifting with the lures again. This wreck was now getting hungry so it was off to another for a few more drifts and then to finish up a stop at the reef to top up with a few fresh mackerel to take home.We ended up with conger to 55lb, a nice ling of about 18lb, a good bag of pollack (4-12lb), pout, scad, red gurnard, cuckoo wrasse, dogfish and bream. Biggest fish was the conger for Mick and Jim had the most species (7) [Report by Jim] |
Thursday 22nd 2010 - Littlehampton - Jenifers Pride (Steve Hipgrave)Just two club members aboard but a lovely warm day even if a bit of breeze an a somewhat bit bumpy. Looking for bream we anchored uptide of a well known wreck. There were not a huge number of fish caught and only one of those was a bream. If Steve (our skipper) had not joined in to demonstrate how to do it there would have been considerably less success. Steve managed to boat a conger of about 55lb and a bull huss of around 10lb as well as the only bream. There was another couple of conger (one around 45lb) and a starry smooth hound and two nice bass were also caught. In all the day was more notable for quality than quantity. Mackerel, scad and pout made up the rest of the bag.As far as the two club members were concerned, the biggest fish was a 45lb conger for Jim and the most species went to Linda (4). [Report by Jim] |
Monday/Tuesday July 5/6 2010 - Hayling (Langstone) - Valkyrie (Glenn Cairns)Another seven o`clock start for a two-day hour trip over the channel. A bit of wind to start with but some improvement later and the sun came out as well so it was on with the hats and sunscreen in the afternoon. Bacon rolls and then a stop on a bit of rough ground to see if any cod were about (they weren`t) broke the journey. A small wreck produced a couple of pollack then a smaller one saw us with more pollack on the drift and a couple of eels (15lb and 38lb). The last stop was a larger wreck producing more pollack on the artificials. In total the day produced 2 Conger, a dogfish, mackerel, quite a few pout, one scad, and rakes of pollack which were gutted and left on ice.Then it was into Feycamp overnight (excellent and very reasonable meal). Up early and continental breakfast, stop at the bread shop for a couple o batons to make our bacon rolls and on the boat just after 7 o`clock. We visited two wrecks Miiiiiiiles apart and had excellent sport on the drift with artificials and anchoring with baits. The weather improved all day and by the time we got to the second one the sea was really flat. Real quality pollack were taking the sidewinders and storm lures and then when we first put in the anchor even bigger ones took conger baits on the bottom. Then they disappeared as the eels started biting although a double figure bull huss put in an appearance. As the tide turned we anchored on the other side of the wreck and had a slow half hour until the eels found us again. Then it was time to head home. Cleaning up and filleting, and packing the two days catch kept us all pretty busy for the long trip home. The day had produced the one bull huss, forty-two eels (25-52lb), ten ling, about 3 trays of quality pollack (many of which were double figure and included one of 15lb 9oz) and of course a number of the inevitable pout and mackerel. It doesn`t get a lot better!. [Report by Jim] |
Saturday June 26th 2010 - Hayling (Langstone) - Valkyrie (Glenn Cairns)Another seven o`clock start for a twelve hour trip (summer cod and pollack on the distant wrecks). Lovely weather, no wind at all, dead flat calm sea with brilliant sunshine all day and we got Glenn to turn on the generator so that we could use the microwave to produce hot bacon rolls. The trip out was broken up a couple of times . Once for a few drifts over the reef to catch some bait when we managed about a bucket of mackerel. Another little stop to try out our lures over a bit of rough ground was not very successful. Then on to the wrecks. The first couple of wrecks were produced few fish but there was quality if not quantity. Then, approaching slack tide the anchor went in for a bit of conger fishing which was quite successful and then when the tide turned it was back to drifting with the artificials. Another stop at the reef on the way back produced a few fresh mackerel to take home. Back to Hayling, unload the gear and into the Ferryboat for one beer before heading home.Well what did we catch - Only three cod, but they were all quality fish, one showing 17lb 2oz on the scales and the other two around the 15lb mark. Fourteen Conger (25lb - 38lb) A good number of pollack (up to 14lb 8oz) Three bass (biggest 3lb 8oz) and of course mackerel and the usual pout. Biggest dish was Nick`s conger, Mick and Jim had the most species (6) and Alan won the little wager on the biggest cod of the day. Oh that all days were as good!. [Report by Jim] |
Sunday June 21st 2010 - Hayling (Langstone) - Valkyrie (Glenn Cairns)A seven o`clock start saw us heading right offshore to the far wrecks (a lot nearer France than England). We started with a few drifts feathering for mackerel and then swapped over to artificials which picked up a few pollack and a cod. The action was a bit slow so we went off to another smaller wreck about a mile away where we found some ling and more pollack. The third larger wreck again produced ling, pollack and a cod on the drift. As the tide slackened the anchor went in and down went baits, now it was conger and more ling. After the tide turned we re-anchored on the other side and then finished up with a few more drifts with artificials and baits. We ended the day with a nice mixed bag. Most of us found congers ranging between 20lb to 65lb (16 in all). Everybody got pollack (up to 15lb) and pout. Ling (to 20lb), a couple of cod, a whitinq, a red gurnard, and a load of mackerel completed the bag.Another excellent days fishing on Valkyrie. Biggest fish was a 65lb (BCC qualifier) conger for one of our two guests, Roland. Mick managed the most species (6). [Report by Jim] |
Sunday June 20th 2010 - Littlehampton - Jenifers Pride (Steve Hipgrave)Cold northerly wind, but quite fishable. Started well with five bream over 2lb, but then it became slow, and despite moving, only the odd bream showed. I was the only one using crab (for bass) hence only I caught wrasse!(2lb 4oz). Tons of pout and mackerel!!. A good day with plenty of fun.Biggest fish was, a 3lb 12oz bream for Nigel and Roy managed the most species (5). [Report by Roy] |
Saturday/Sunday June 19/20 2010 - British Conger Club Members ChampionshipThree GCSAC members fished the competition (held this year at POOLE) and entered into All the competitions even though we had to co-opt an additional angler from Manchester to make us up to four for the team event.The result was a second in the team event (Conger Club tankard for each team member) for the Guildford team and a joint day 2 individual win for Mick Doody. Full details will appear on the BCC website www.britishcongerclub.org.uk in due course. Photos to follow. [Report by Jim] |
Sunday June 13th 2010 - Hayling (Langstone) - Valkyrie (Glenn Cairns)This was an offshore bass trip so there was no stopping off for bait on the way. Sandeels were dangled over banks and shallow areas and deep bits but the bass were not interested. We persevered all day except for an hour at slack tide but only ended up with four bass between us. Other boats were doing the about the same (including the commercials) and getting similar results. We ended the day with four bass, plenty of mackerel, a few pout and dogfish, a very pretty ballan wrasse which took a sandeel, one tope, one little blonde ray, and a nice pollack.Biggest fish was a Bass of about five and a half pounds for Dave Ball and Peter Thatcher had the most species by far (7). [Report by Jim] |
Sunday May 30th 2010 - Littlehampton - Jenifers Pride (Steve Hipgrave)A breezy day but quite fishable inshore and the weatherman`s rain did not turn up.We started with a couple of drifts for mackerel but they were sparse and so having only caught four we anchored for the bream. The bream were also notably uncooperative to start with even though there were a lot of small pout stealing the baits (and occasionally being hooked). A little less tide and a slight adjustment of location improved matters and everybody ended up with bream to take home. It did get more difficult once the tide turned because with the wind right up the stern the boat it was swinging around a lot. A mackerel taking a bream bait with about 40 minutes fishing time left triggered a flurry of feathering adding over a score of fresh mackerel to the bag. The final tally was about thirty bream, a couple of dogfish, lots of little pout, about thirty mackerel, one smoothhound, a garfish, and 2 wrasse(1cuckoo and one goldsinny. Biggest Bream (3lb 8oz) was taken by Farooq. Most species (6) went to Mick and the biggest fish was a smoothhound of about four and a half pounds for Jim. [Report by Jim] |
Sunday May 23rd 2010 - Hayling (Langstone) - Valkyrie (Glenn Cairns)![[Cod 22lb 7oz]](images/Cod 22lb 7oz.jpg)
Right offshore, 12 hour wrecking trip. Lovely day for it, less wind than the forecast force 4 and the sun came out too. About half a dozen cod caught
including a fine 22lb 7oz specimen for Linda. Lots of ling (best 19lb 7oz for Nigel) and about a dozen pollack up to 10lb together with the usual pout and dogfish.
Biggest fish was Linda`s Cod and John had the most species (4). [Report by Jim] |
Sunday May 16th 2010 - Hayling (Langstone) - Valkyrie (Glenn Cairns)A bit too much wind to go out to the banks for bass so it was a bit closer inshore for bream and Tope. Most people got bream but only three managed to find a tope. There were also mackerel, dogfish, gar and ballan wrasse.Biggest fish was Roy`s tope at 33lb and he also managed to nail 5 species and so cleared up on the points and the sweep. [Report by Jim] |
Saturday May 15th 2010 - Littlehampton - Jenifers Pride (Steve Hipgrave)Out for bream and everybody caught some although many were a bit on the small side. We also tried the bass but again although most caught at least one there was only one taken that was sizeable (the other dozen all went back to grow bigger). Dogfish, mackerel, gars, pout, ballan and goldsinny wrasse also showed up. Alan had the most species (7) and also a 1lb 10oz bream which shared the title of biggest fish with Chris` Bass of the same weight.[Report by Jim] |
Thursday May 13th 2010 - Littlehampton - Jenifers Pride (Steve Hipgrave)Sea was flat and the sun was out but a north -east wind meant it was cold. Bream were steady all day with the odd pout. With one hour to go we went after the bass and out of a total catch of 25 , 12 went back, A great day All three club members on the boat had bass , bream and pout with the biggest fish (3lb 5oz) falling to Mick.[Report by Mick] |
Tuesday May 11th 2010 - Hayling (Langstone) - Valkyrie (Glenn Cairns)A long distance 12hr trip to the channel wrecks for Pollack. The weather was just about acceptable but we did get the pollack. Nothing huge but plenty of double figure fish on the artificials, though we did have to work for them. There were also a couple of pout and one nice cod. On the way in a stop for mackerel was also productive. An excellent days fishing.Biggest fish was a Pollack of about 14lb for Roy and Mick and Jim both had three species, [Report by Jim] |
Sunday May 2nd 2010 - Littlehampton - Jenifers Pride (Steve Hipgrave) and Lynander (Dickie LeggetThe first club boat competition of the year - A very early start (5:30) not only gave us the best tide but also avoided the worst of the forecast weather. Due to a few pulling out late in the day there were only eleven club members competing, five on Lynander and six on Jenifers Pride. The sea was flat but after a short while the rain started. The rain was only a real problem for the chairman, who less than sensibly, opted to use only the top half of his survival suit, bad move. Anyway the fish were there to be caught and most people soon caught five Bream (10 points each) with relative ease using squid. Trying alternative baits (worm and mackerel) produced a scattering of other species, mostly in ones and twos, Dogfish, Garfish, Mackerel, Pollack, Pout, Ballan Wrasse and two Blennies (Common and Tompot). Chris led the way on Lynander amassing a total of 126 points but Mick on Jenifers Pride took the day with 148 points and Jim (yours truly) with 128 points also on JP pushed him into third place. The prize for the biggest fish went to Paul with a lovely Bream of 3lb 3oz.[Report by Jim] |
Thursday April 29th 2010 - Littlehampton - Jenifers Pride (Steve Hipgrave)Three members had a day hoping for bream but it was very disappointing. Cold east wind, only 2 Bream caught, Dogs, Pout and a couple of tiny (Goldsinny) Wrasse. Other boats had a similar experience. Most species went to Mick (5) who also got the largest fish (2lb Bream)[Report by Jim] |
Sunday April 25th 2010 - Littlehampton - Jenifers Pride (Steve Hipgrave)Fishing inshore we were hoping for bream, but there were not many feeding and only four were caught. We did get other species as well (Ballan, Cuckoo and Corkwing Wrasse, Pollack, Garfish, Dogfish, Pout and Mackerel). Most species went to Mick (8) and Peter had the biggest fish (A Bream of 2lb 8oz)[Report by Jim] |
Saturday April 24th 2010 - Hayling (Langstone) - Valkyrie (Glenn Cairns)The target was Smoothhounds so we went armed with frozen crab and Glenn supplied hardbacks. Straight on to Utopia. The result was SMOOTHHOUNDS. Everyone caught hounds and there were also dogfish and pout and the first bream of the season. Biggest fish was a 14lb 12oz Starry for Jim and there was a 3-way tie for species - 4 each for Chris, Jim and Roy. An excellent day.[Report by Jim] |
Friday April 23rd 2010 - Littlehampton - Jenifers Pride (Steve Hipgrave)Another 3-man trip to the deep for the elusive spurdogs. Same as last effort no spurs and this time the whiting very MUCH smaller and the weather was colder. Best fish a pretty average whiting for Jim and a 3 way tie (Mick, Jim, and Chris) for species. Roll on the Bream season.[Report by Jim] |
Sunday April 11th 2010 - Hayling (Langstone) - Valkyrie (Glenn Cairns)The original plan for a long distance pollacking trip had to be changed to general fishing for smoothhounds/spurdogs and rays and then due to a problem with one of the boats engines it was decided to come into calmer water.We ended up fishing fairly close to the Nab where we caught a number of starry smoothhounds (all male) and dogfish, and one little plaice. Not a brilliant days fishing but when we compared notes with a couple of other crews who had actually fished much further offshore we found that we had had a better day than them. Biggest fish went to Farooq and Mick D had the most species (3). [Report by Jim] |
Wednesday March 24th 2010 - Littlehampton - Jenifers Pride (Steve Hipgrave)Mick Jim and Peter joined a trip out to the deeper water in search of spurdogs. The weather started out as quite nasty but improved throughout the day. Unfortunately the spurs were not playing and all we ended up with was a number of Pout and dogfish and a few good Whiting. Best fish went to Mick Doody for a large Whiting and all three of us got one of each species.[Report by Jim] |
Sunday March 14th 2010 - Hayling (Langstone) - Valkyrie (Glenn Cairns)At last the start of the pollack. Right out in the channel despite a stiff breeze. Drifting the wrecks all day.Pollack were there and everyone had them on the artificials. We had plenty of fish to take home. The only other species to turn up was Pout. Biggest fish went to Nigel and only 2 people out of 10 managed to completely avoid the Pout. [Report by Jim] |
Sunday March 7th 2010 - Littlehampton - Jenifers Pride (Steve Hipgrave)Cancelled - Too much wind AGAIN. |
Sunday February 21st 2010 - Littlehampton - Jenifers Pride (Steve Hipgrave)Cancelled - Weather again. |
Sunday February 7th 2010 - Hayling (Langstone) - Valkyrie (Glenn Cairns)Not the best days fishing - Not much wind but it was Easterly. There were just a few Pout, Whiting and Dogfish and one small Conger.Chris had the biggest fish (Conger) and also most species. [Report by Jim] |
Sunday January 24th 2010 - Hayling (Langstone) - Valkyrie (Glenn Cairns)First trip of the year and at least it was calm and dry and not THAT cold. Nine club members on the boat plus a guest (Len). Glenn warned us that the fish were scarce but we tried a cod mark where the cod did not bite and then, after the best bit of the tide, we moved in a bit for whiting which also were very thin on the groundWe did end up with a few fish - Whiting, Pout, Poorcod, Dogfish, a Thornback and a Conger. Biggest fish was Len`s Conger (18lb), Biggest for a club member was the Thornback of about 5lb for me (Jim) and had most species (4) was shared between Roy and myself. [Report by Jim] |
Sunday January 10th 2009 - Littlehampton - Jenifers Pride (Steve Hipgrave)Cancelled due to SNOW. |
Saturday December 30th 2009 - Hayling (Langstone) - Valkyrie (Glenn Cairns)Instead of not fishing in the cold and wind, we fished in the cold and WET. 7 Club members fished out near the Nab and caught loads of Whiting and a couple of Cod and one Spotted Ray.Biggest fish was a 9lb cod for me (Jim) and Peter had most species (4). [Report by Jim] |
Sunday December 13th 2009 - Hayling (Langstone) - Valkyrie (Glenn Cairns)Its VERY cold but there are fish about at this time of year.

Sunday November 29th 2009 - Littlehampton - Jenifers Pride (Steve Hipgrave)Cancelled - Horribly windy. |
Sunday November 22nd 2009 - Hayling (Langstone) - Valkyrie (Glenn Cairns)Cancelled - Nasty windy weather. |

Sunday November 8th 2009 - Hayling (Langstone) - Valkyrie (Glenn Cairns)Its NOVEMBER, Its COLD so its Cod and Whiting fishing in the Solent. The North wind did blow but we were quite comfortable sheltered by the Land and we found loads of Whiting(up to 2.5lb) as well as a Cod, lots of Pout and a few doggies. The tea flowed like uuuummmm Tea I suppose (virtually on tap) Another great day out with Glenn.Best fish was the Cod (7lb 4oz) for Alan who also bagged all of the 4 species caught. [Report by Jim] |
Sunday October 25th 2009 - Hayling (Langstone) - Valkyrie (Glenn Cairns)Cancelled due to bad weather. |
Sunday October 11th 2009 - Littlehampton - Jenifers Pride (Steve Hipgrave)A colder autumn day (well it is now October) and the wind kept us inshore. A trip to the east found us using the strong breeze to drift for plaice. Two drifts having only produced a small tub gurnard, the anchor was dropped and when that was also unsuccessful we headed for another small inshore rock mark, which unfortunately was already being occupied by a small boat with two spear-fishers. Plan C (or was it D) sent us back toward home and we fished the rest of the day at East Ditch. The fish were not very obliging but fishing hard did produce a Bull Huss, a few bream and a Cod. The final bag consisted of small Bream, a Tompot Blenny, one Cod, one Bull Huss, a couple of Tub Gurnards, a Pout, and three types of Wrasse (Ballan, Cuckoo and Corkwing. Biggest fish was the 10lb Bull Huss (Simon Harding and C and Jim had the most species (5). [Report by Jim] |
Sunday October 4th 2009 - Littlehampton - Jenifers Pride (Steve Hipgrave)![[Red Mullet]](images/Record Red Mullet.jpg)
A breeze when the day started, but the weather man predicted that it would get less as the day went on, by lunchtime we knew he had been wrong, but as we stayed fairly well inshore it was not too bad. Still plenty of Bream in the 1-2lb class and a few wrasse and pout to add variety as well as a surprise red mullet. In summary, everyone caught Bream, and most had Pout, there were also Ballan, Goldsinny, and Corkwing Wrasse, as well as one Dogfish, one Tompot Blenny, and one 15oz Red Mullet. Biggest fish was a 1.75lb Bream caught by Mick C and Jim had the most species (5). [Report by Jim] |
Saturday/Sunday September 26/27th 2009 - PlymouthBritish Conger Club Affiliated Clubs Championship![[Biggest Conger AFF Clubs Comp]](images/Conger Chris Plymouth 2009.jpg)
Not QUITE as successful as 2008 BUT one our lads still got into the prize list with the biggest fish of the competition 64lb 13oz. Unfortunately he did not enter the pool for the biggest fish so missed out on the prize money. Our man Chris is the one in blue on the right of the photo. Well done Chris Fuller report to follow |
Sunday September 27th 2009 - Weymouth - Tiger Lily (Chris Caines)A bit less frantic start than Saturday because eight of us had left all our tackle ready aboard Tiger Lily and there was only one other who drove down in the morning. Apart from that it was a similar tale to the previous day. The mackerel fishing went a bit better so we wasted less time on them. The bank again produced some nice fish. This time there were Bream, a Bull Huss, lots of Conger around 20lb (and one of 30), a nice Cod, Dogfish, Garfish, Mackerel, Poorcod, Pout, Scad, Tope and a Starry Smoothhound. Biggest fish went to our guest Richard with a 30lb Conger (just beating Mick`s 28lb one) and the most species was taken by Jim (8). [Report by Jim] |
Saturday September 26th 2009 - Weymouth - Tiger Lily (Chris Caines)![[John Dory]](images/Record John Dory.jpg)
This was the first day of a weekend event for us, and as most of the crew were fishing both days, seven of us were booked into the Monarch hotel for 2 nights where Trish and Eddy looked after us in their usual excellent manner. After an early breakfast we were all on the boat for 7:30 a.m. where we were joined by the other three. After sorting out parking, packed lunch, bait and the last minute tackle purchases we were on our way out at 8 o`clock start (when the town bridge opened). We started at the Bill for mackerel, which were a bit scarce and then off to a bank for mixed bottom fishing. Although we did have a bit of a slow start due to a lack of tide and we did have to re-anchor a couple of times, there were fish coming in for most of the day and some were real quality. Quite a few Bream, Several Bull Huss (to 10lb), Congers (biggest 60lb), Garfish, Dogfish, Mackerel (of course), Tope (to 29lb), Poorcod, Pout, and one small John Dory. Another great days fishing and the sun shone too. Biggest fish was Simon`s 60lb Conger and Mick had the most species (8). [Report by Jim] |
Sunday September 20th 2009 - Hayling (Langstone) - Valkyrie (Glenn Cairns)![[Blonde Ray Simon]](images/Blonde Ray Simon.jpg)
![[Blonde Ray Farooq]](images/Blonde Ray Farooq.jpg)
A warm day with a big tide and light winds had the boat straight out and anchored out on the banks for Rays. Down went squid and mackerel baits
but the sport was slow. Several attempts were required to get a few more mackerel for bait and the rays, bream and triggerfish were not really biting
although a nearby boat had a couple of triggers and Blonde Rays as we jealously watched. A couple of moves did find a few rays. What we were lacking in numbers was made up for by the quality of the fish although there was a problem controlling rays in the strong tide but only one got away and that was only temporarily, as when Farooq`s line parted Jim`s line was already tangled in the trace and the fish was still brought to the boat. The final bag consisted of Blonde Rays including one of 25lb and another just on 20lb, Spotted Ray, Undulate Ray, Mackerel, Bass, Bream, a Weever and a Brill. Biggest fish was Simon`s 25lb Blonde and he also had the most species (4). [Report by Jim] |
Saturday September 12th 2009 - Littlehampton - Jenifers Pride (Steve Hipgrave)This trip was re-scheduled (originally Sunday 14th)Strong NW winds decided that we would fish inshore. We started with a few mackerel for bait and with them a few Scad also appeared. At anchor there were a few Bream, Dogfish and Pout with a couple of Cuckoo Wrasse and a nice (1lb) Red Gurnard for variety. Perseverance with a bit bait was rewarded wit a Thornback for Mick C. When the tide slackened drifting gave us more Bream, Pout and Cuckoos. Biggest fish was Mick Cs Thornback and Mick D had the most species (6). (none of any great size) [Report by Jim] |
Monday August 31st to Friday September 4th 2009 - Minehead - Aly Kat (Dave Roberts)The original plan was that we would be fishing some days locally to Minehead for Rays, Bass, Triggerfish etc and some days getting an early start for longer trips down to Lundy for the Tope and other deep water fish. Alas not to be!. Having looked at forecasts ourselves we were not surprised after arriving in the middle of the Minehead Lifeboat Festival when Dave told us that we would not be going to Lundy at all. We were a bit disappointed but determined to make the best of it and fish locally. Interestingly the forecast was giving strong winds going round to the northwest (the worst direction)Day 1 MondayA fine(ish) day with a be brisk south-westerly wind meant that we could not do better that stay fairly close to the shore but we did manage to get to marks well down past Porlock. Mackerel were scarce but other baits produced a few fish and we ended up with 11 species including Bass (5lb) Smoothhounds, Conger and Triggerfish (the last being one of our main targets on the trip). Biggest fish was a 7lb Smoothhound (Simon) and the Peter and Alan both topped the species count with 5 each.Day 2 TuesdaySimilar weather with a little more wind. More inshore fishing again produced eleven species of fish. No triggers but Smoothhounds, Comer and a number of rays (Blonde, Small-eyed and Thornback) all featured. Best fish was Peter`s 16lb Smoothhound and the most species went to Mick with 7. Interestingly the forecast was predicting gale force winds from the NorthwestDay 3 WednesdayMore wind and going westerly. To add to the fun it also got showery as the day went on. A bit of excitement early in the day when Peter managed unbelievably to get a hook stuck into his TONGUE. Consideration was seriously being given to calling the lifeboat when Roy managed to extract it. Again eleven fish species turned up including Pollack to 8lb, Conger and a Bull Huss (6lb) and a small octopus. Biggest fish was Alan`s 30lb Conger and the most species was Mick (7) again. The forecast was still predicting gale force winds from the Northwest![[Minehead weather]](images/2009 09 03 Weather.jpg) ![[Minehead rays]](images/2009 09 03 Rays.jpg)
Day 4 ThursdayMore wind now and more northwesterly and with the forecast getting worse. Dave gave us the option of cancelling the day but we went to Minehead to go fishing and the trip was on. However for different reasons Brian and Roy decided that they would miss out the day. We did try, against the wind and driving rain, to get down the coast into Porlock bay bur there was no shelter at all, even there, so we turned round and headed back (a lot quicker with the wind) ending up just out from Minehead harbour. There was still a fair old sea running but it was fishable (in a cat). This is ray country and the rays were there. The bag for the day was 36 rays (Blonde, Small-eyed and Thornback) as well as small Conger, baby Tope and dogfish. The sun did come out in the afternoon. Biggest fish went to Simon with a 15 lb Blonde (he had a pair) and most species was shared by Jim and Alan (5 each).Day 5 FridayThe weather was even worse but we were still going out (apart from Alan who was feeling a bit under par). We were pretty sure that we must have been the ONLY charter boat out in the whole of England. The only option was the same area as the previous day. During the day we heard a Gale warning on the radio ("Strong gale Force 9, decreasing Gale force 8, IMMINENT"). The water was now really thick with great chunks of weed floating on the surface. Unsurprisingly the same species turned up again but mo Thornbacks and not so many fish. Biggest was a 15lb Blonde for Roy who also took most species with 5.SummaryAll in all despite the weather it was still a great trip. It started with a fireworks display, we were well looked after at the Old Ship Aground (Thanks Mel for getting us breakfast at unearthly hours). We went out for some great meals. We had some great food on the boat (Thanks Dave, for the bangers, and cooking the Bass and Pollack). We have already booked our trip for next year![Report by Jim] |
Sunday August 16th 2009 - Littlehampton - Jenifers Pride (Steve Hipgrave) and Lynander (Dickie Legget)Club CompetitionIt was the usual points based club competition with points varying by species and no size limit, all fish scored no matter their size. We are currently intending to review the scoring system to encourage the targeting of the species which return to the sea most successfully, such as rays and the dogfish (club members - your opinion please). The sea was nice and flat to start with but the wind did get up a bit later in the day. Some lessons had been learnt from the Barnes brothers at Weymouth and the most successful anglers on the day were those using small hooks and light tackle. The there were no fish weighed but there were Pout, Pollack, and Wrasse caught around the 2lb mark on both boats so the prize for the largest fish was not awarded. Mick (on Lynander) won the competition with 295 points, followed up by Steve with 240 points just ahead of Roy on 235 points. [Report by Jim] |
Sunday August 9th 2009 - Hayling (Langstone) - Valkyrie (Glenn Cairns)A warm day with light SW breeze. Excellent fishing drifting for Bass over offshore banks with small live sandeel. First drift we were assured of Bass. Roy and Peter immediately caught one but Dave landed a Brill of about 5 lb - nobody read him the script!! Everybody caught Bass which was great. We anchored for two hours on the slack and a good number of decent blondes were caught. Good quality fishing which everyone thoroughly enjoyed. Mick was champ for the day, but we were all a little envious of Dynamite Dave. Glen`s new tea making facilities were also much appreciated.[Report by Roy] |
Sunday 2 August 2009 - Weymouth - Tiger Lily (Chris Caines)![[Photo 5 Guildford members and the Barnes Brothers]](images/Barnes v Guildford.jpg)
Our first ever five-a-side competition. We were up against the Barnes Brothers (Oxford) who all seem to specialise in species competition against
each other. Three of our members had fished the previous day against Berkshire and we were mistakenly confident.
Fishing off Portland for mackerel we were disappointingly inept, and then we were given a lesson in how to target the mini-species.
Barnes stormed ahead as they used their specialist small fish traces to tempt the tiny Wrasse and Gobies. Then we moved offshore where we hoped we
might be more successful. Not a chance, nails were efficiently driven into the coffin of our hopes as they hauled in three Congers, a few Bream, Tope, and
an Undulate Ray. We did manage to pull back a little at the end but still ended up over a 100 points behind. Prizes from Tiger Lily sponsors (Mercedes
and Fladen) were distributed to the winners and there were even small consolation prizes for the Guildford team. An excellent day and the Barnes Brothers
spent a good bit of their sweeps win on beers in the Sailors return afterwards. Another great day and we have promised to organise a return match in 2010
even though they quite cheerfully gave away information about their special traces and methods (after the competition).
Our team managed between them to catch Pout, Dogfish, Pollack, Bream, Mackerel, Conger, Tope, Ballan Wrasse, Rockcook Wrasse, Goldsinny Wrasse, and Poorcod.

Saturday 1 August 2009 - Weymouth - Tiger Lily (Chris Caines)Three club members took places on board to join in with the RCBDSAF (Royal County of Berkshire Deep Sea Angling Federation) annual species hunt competition. We have to report that Mick was our star and did the business on the day with a score of well over 300 points and and was therefore the winner and received a valuable prize donated by one of the Tiger Lily sponsors (Mercedes) and no it was not one of their latest cars. Lots of species caught Pout, Dogfish, Pollack, Bream, Mackerel, Conger, Tope, Ballan Wrasse, Corkwing Wrasse, Goldsinny Wrasse, Poorcod, and Tompot Blenny. Good fun and good company and we have intend to arrange a 4/5 aside competition next year against RCBDSAF.[Report by Jim] |
Saturday/Sunday 18/19 July 2009 - Hayling (Langstone) - Valkyrie (Glenn Cairns)Cancelled due to horrendous (and accurate as it turned out) weather forecast - no chance of crossing the channel. |
Thursday 16 July 2009 - Littlehampton - Jenifers Pride (Steve Hipgrave)Another of those warm calm summer days when it is so nice to be out to sea. Four club members (of a crew of five) were aboard. The mackerel were hard to find again (although a nice red gurnard came up on the feathers) a and we dropped anchor near a small wreck with only five to use as bait. The action was not exactly fast and furious but there were a few bites (Breamish) a few lost fish (Tope and/or Conger?). Feathers produced some more Mackerel and Scad and a there were a couple of Tope caught as well as Pout. When the tide turned, re-anchoring on the other side of the wreck, the story was much the same, Tope biting through traces, Conger breaking traces, large Pout venturing out from the wreck to snaffle baits not intended for them. Two Bream were caught of the two Dogfish that turned up, one did have us wondering about the club record but, at 2lb 9oz, it was over half a pound light. A very enjoyable day.[Report by Jim] |
Monday 13 July 2009 - Sandy Point, Hayling Island - Beach Competition (1st Leg)The evening was forecast to be dry and warm with a pleasant breeze. It was dryish at times, warmish and there was a stiffish southerly breeze. Start time was 8pm and the competitors were all there in plenty of time. Due to the tidal flow (and the accompanying weed) the venue only became realistically fishable at about 8:15. The fishing was slow with very few bites but some of the regulars found Smoothhounds (largest 11lb 6oz) and one small Bream also landed. At 10:00 as the tide started to ebb strongly and darkness fell, we all started to pack up and head off home. Official results will follow at a later date.[Report by Jim] |
Sunday 5 July 2009 - Littlehampton - Jenifers Pride (Steve Hipgrave)What a lovely day be fishing. Shame that the fish did not want to play. No mackerel to be found, well there were TWO caught on the drift. Anchored over a bank there was a wait of 2 hours before the first proper bite (small tope). Listening to the other boats on the radio, they were doing no better. We kept at least one set of mackerel feathers in the water all the time but even then we only manages to get a couple of dozen mackerel. t Eventually a few more Tope turned up and then a few rays. The final bag was about 20 small tope, five small-eyed rays (to 5.5lb), a couple of pout and a little spotted ray. Still it was sunny, warm(ish), and dry and there were a FEW fish.[Report by Jim] |
Thursday 2 July 2009 - Hayling (Langstone) - Valkyrie (Glenn Cairns)Wow! Gorgeous weather, reasonable sea to start with and getting flatter as the day went on.Q. What was the Plan? A. Glenn promised a special day going right out to a distant reef (well over 2 hours even on this fast cat) and then on to a wreck even further away. Q. Did he deliver? A. Yes he did. ![[Photo Chris Cod]](images/2009 07 02 Cod 2.jpg)
![[Photo Jim Cod]](images/2009 07 02 Cod.jpg)
Masses of nice fat cod on the ground to artificials and then off to drift the wreck - Bigger cod, Ling, Pollack.
Glenn THEN anchored the wreck spot on and we fished mackerel just in front of it for Conger and more Cod and Ling.
When the tide slackened and turned, the boat swung away from the wreck but by then we were all more than happy to call it a day and the boat headed off
back toward home as we started filleting the Cod, Ling, and Pollack.![[Photo Filleting]](images/2009 07 02 Filleting.jpg)
6 members and 2 guests fished on the day and between us we had plenty of Cod (to 23lb), Pollack (to 16lb), and Ling (to 20lb), Mackerel
and even a couple of Bream to take home. Everybody caught Cod and most got at least one Pollack, one Ling and one Conger. Not the cheapest trip
but more than worth it.
Brilliant, Fantastic! Glenn gets 9.9 points out of 10 (loses 0.1 for running out of teabags so coffee only after the first round of hot drinks. [Report by Jim] |
Monday 29 June 2009 - Littlehampton - Jenifers Pride (Steve Hipgrave)Only 2 Club members aboard (out of a crew of 7)on this trip. Weather F4 Easterly. Warm. Sunshine.Fishing was slow to start , Alan had the first Ray - A blonde of 4lb. Mick had a Small-eyed of 6lb. Alan had an Undulate of 9lb which was biggest. Both of us had 5 species and between us, as well as the 3 species of rays, we found Mackerel, Scad, Tub Gurnard and small Tope. Good days fishing with lots of rays in the end. [Report by Mick] |
Saturday 27 June 2009 - Littlehampton - Jenifers Pride (Steve Hipgrave)![[Photo Barbeque]](images/2009 06 27 Barbeque.jpg)
A very warm day with light winds and little tide. Slow fishing, but better after we moved.
Small bream in abundance with only a couple over 2lb.
Mackerel in abundance and the highlight of the day was a very welcome barbecue from Stevie the boatman!
We all enjoyed mackerel at its best (straight from the sea). Best fish of the day was a conger estimated at 20lb.
[Report by Roy] |
Sunday 21 June 2009 - Hayling (Langstone) - Valkyrie (Glenn Cairns)A warm day with light NW breeze. Excellent fishing with Smoothounds showing well and fish were caught all day. Our two novices (Tom and David) showed everyone the way early on with big hounds and an excellent brace of Thornback to David. But by lunchtime when they had learnt what they were doing things slowed up considerably for them and they did no better than the rest of us![Report by Roy] |
Sunday 7 June 2009 - Littlehampton - Jenifers Pride (Steve Hipgrave)Cancelled because of the weather. |
A Trip to Florida by a party of 3 including 2 of our membersHi Everyone. Tom and I and Lewis are back from Florida.We had what could be described as a back-water fishing expedition as opposed to deep sea fishing. Never the less we caught various species every day. Great fun.. Snapper-redfish-grouper-ladyfish-spanish mackerel-jacks-sea trout-pufferfish-lemmon shark-nurse shark-and two species of catfish. I got into a tarpon but did not land it. (b*****r). The biggest brute was the nurse shark. Easily 200lb plus.( Estimated.) It was biggg. Great time was had by all, hope to do it again sometime. Did I mention we had a lot of Rain and Thunder Storms. Wow ! Regards Steve.xx |
Sunday 24 May 2009 - Littlehampton - Jenifers Pride (Steve Hipgrave)This was lunchtime start and had been carefully planned to hit the smoothhounds and the Bream. Not everything goes to plan unfortunately. Parking at this time in Littlehampton on a Bank Holiday Sunday is a nightmare, causing a delayed start. Also the breeze was slight but had a bit of EASTERLY in it and all anglers know what that means. The result was that the mackerel were difficult, the Smoothhounds not around at all and the Bream were pretty shy too. Final result - 8 anglers between them caught a few Mackerel, some Bream (up to 3lb) one Bass, two double figure Undulate Rays, one Thornback ray, Pout, Dogfish and a Garfish.[Report by Jim] |
Thursday 21 May 2009 - Littlehampton - Jenifers Pride (Steve Hipgrave)Three club members turned out for this trip and one of these also brought along a guest (Duncan). The weather man advertised this as a nice day and to be fair we did see a bit of sun, BUT the 10 mph wind gusted up to 26 mpg and it was CCCCCold for May. The Bream were difficult and it took 4 moves to finally find a few decent size ones. One of the other anglers on the boat had a nice Bream of 3lb 12Oz but this was topped by Duncan`s (first ever) Bream of exactly 4lb. The biggest fish of the day was a 10lb Smoothhound and there were also the usual Pout and Mackerel and one Bass[Report by Jim] |
Sunday 17 May 2009 - Hayling (Langstone) - Valkyrie (Glenn Cairns)Cancelled due to the forecast of high wind, bumpy sea, and pouring rain. |
Thursday 14 May 2009 - Hayling (Langstone) - Valkyrie (Glenn Cairns)Farooq and myself were on an `individuals`. We fished several wrecks 50 to 60 miles off. The weather was very good. Both of us caught a lot of fish, I caught pollock, cod, mackerel and pout and Farooq caught pollock, cod and pout. The best fish of the day went to a non-member and was a 28 1/2 lb cod, I caught a 25 lb cod, a 12 lb cod and among my pollock (7) was a 12 lb one.[Report by Nigel] |
Sunday 10 May 2009 - Littlehampton - Jenifers Pride (Steve Hipgrave)There was a bit more wind and it was from the East, but having done so well the previous day, Steve headed out to the same marks again. The fish were a little less keen and had to be teased onto the hook. Both Bream marks produced again but not in the quantities of the previous day. The Bass also had to be worked for quite hard but everybody caught at least one. The biggest Bream was (4lb 1oz) the biggest Bass about 3lb and there was a Ballan Wrasse of 3lb 14oz. We also had Dogfish, Garfish, Pout, Cuckoo Wrasse and Mackerel.Another good days fishing. [Report by Jim] |
Saturday 9 May 2009 - Littlehampton - Jenifers Pride (Steve Hipgrave)Lovely day, flat sea, cold to start but the sun came out later. Being now well into the season for Bream, they were the main target and they did not disappoint us. At our first mark Bream were biting quite shyly but everybody managed to connect with a few, and in the majority they were decent sized fish. When the tide slackened the boat swung over some clearer ground and some tried for hounds and rays with little success so the anchor was upped and off we headed to toward another Bream mark. On the way the birds were spotted working a Bass shoal and therefore not being able to resist we had a (successful) drift for them. At the second mark we continued to connect with Bream and ended the day with everybody having at least one good Bream and a Bass to take home. Looking at the final bag, we had Bream (to 4.5lb) Bass (to 6lb) Ballan Wrasse (to 3lb 12oz) Smoothhound (6lb 4oz) Dogfish, Garfish, Pout, Poorcod and Mackerel.Credit must go to Steve Hipgrave for putting us in the right place at the right time. [Report by Jim] |
Thursday 7 May 2009 - Littlehampton - Jenifers Pride (Steve Hipgrave)Club members took three spaces on this Jenifers Pride Individuals day.There were plenty of Bream but none of any great size, the biggest fish weighing in was a Smoothhound, as usual there was also dogfish, pout and Mackerel. [Report by Mick] |
Saturday 2 May 2009 - Hayling (Langstone) - Valkyrie (Glenn Cairns)![[Photo Mick Doody Tope 28lb]](images/Mick Doody Tope 28lb.jpg)
This was booked as a Smoothhound and Tope Trip. We were offered the chance of going out for Cod in the deeper water with artificials but as bait
had already been arranged it was decided that we should stick to the original plan.
A couple of drifts at the Nab for Mackerel only produced a few for bait, but there were also a number picked up on the feathers as the boat was anchored.
On the ebbing tide we were soon into the good size Hounds with both Starry and Common coming in. As the tide dropped some swapped to Mackerel baits and
a few Tope were caught. The slack of the tide found some targeting other species and as the flood tide built it became more difficult to connect
with any fish so the last hours fishing was spent over a sandy hole a bit further inshore.
During the day there were over thirty Smoothhounds (best
20lb) and about ten Tope (best 28lb) caught, which were all released. The other species caught were Bream, Dogfish, and Pout.

Sunday 26 April 2009 - Littlehampton - Jenifers Pride (Steve Hipgrave) and Lynander (Dickie Leggat)The first of the 2009 Club Competitions.Excellent conditions with a little wind from the land (NE) A lot of fish caught with many anglers recording maximum points for Bream. Those aboard Lynander wisely husbanded their limited supply of ragworm which allowed them the option of moving onto the rock to target the Wrasse later in the day when Jenifers Pride went inshore looking for Smoothhounds (with little success) ALL the prizes went to the Lynander crew except for the Largest fish. There were 12 species of fish recorded - Bream, Dogfish, Garfish, Mackerel, Pout, Poorcod, Starry Smoothhound, Ballan Wrasse, Cuckoo Wrasse, Corkwing Wrasse, Goldsinny Wrasse, and Tompot Blenny. First Prize - Roy Hebburn (240 points) Second Place - Mick Doody (214 points) Third Place - Pete Talbot (194 points) Fourth Place - John Hamilton (185 points) Prize for the largest fish - Paul Harcus (5lb 2oz Smoothhound) [Report by Jim] |
Thursday 23 April 2009 - Littlehampton - Jenifers Pride (Steve Hipgrave)Club members took three spaces on this Jenifers Pride Individuals day.Excellent conditions with a little wind from the land (NE) Bream were slow in coming at the start but as the tide increased they fed better so that all three of our members took fish. The final bag consisted of Bream (up to 2.5lb), one Bass, a couple of Garfish and of course the usual Dogfish and Pout. [Report by Mick] |
Sunday 19 April 2009 - Hayling (Langstone) - Valkyrie (Glenn Cairns)First club trip on the new Valkyrie (Number 5), yet another improvement in the layout, it just gets better. The weather started off cold and blowy but improved as the day went on, until the heavy jackets were abandoned at lunchtime. The target was Smoothhound and we got about twenty, some small, but a couple of larger ones weighed in at 12lb 8oz and 14lb. There were also Pout, Dogfish, Poorcod, Tope, Whiting, Bream Cod, and Mackerel. Another excellent day.[Report by Jim] |
Sunday 14 April 2009 - Littlehampton - Jenifers Pride (Steve Hipgrave)Another lovely day on the KIngmere. The Male Bream have arrived but they were not concentrating on feeding, Obviously something else is uppermost in their minds. We did get nearly thirty in the day, all a good size with the biggest going over 3 lb. There were of course plenty of Pout, a couple of Garfish and a Poorcod. It looks like summer fishing is on the way.[Report by Jim] |
Sunday 5 April 2009 - Littlehampton - Jenifers Pride (Steve Hipgrave)A lovely day to be out there on the sea, Not exactly summer but sunny and dry and not as cold as it has been. The Bream have arrived (well some of the males anyway) - Not in great numbers and they are not exactly suicidal but the trip produced 17, most of which were of a reasonable size, the biggest turning the scales at 2lb. There were also a few Wrasse (Ballan and Goldsinny), Pout, Garfish and Dogfish.[Report by Jim] |
Sunday 22 March 2009 - Littlehampton - Jenifers Pride (Steve Hipgrave)Reports that the spurdogs had arrived offshore, a flattish sea, and the neap tide encouraged an extended trip to the deeper water. Two hours saw us anchored at the bank and fishing commenced. Unfortunately the spurs either were not in the mood or had decided to feed in another area. There were plenty of Dogfish and Pout and the consolation of s two Cod taken at the end of the day. Perhaps the majority of the spurs have still to arrive?[Report by Jim] |
Saturday 14 March 2009 - Great White (Sean Heath)Nice day weatherwise but not a brilliant on the fishing front - spent a fortune on worms for the plaice but after a couple of hours no sign of plaice at all (not even bites) so up anchor (one dab did hang on the bait as we left) and over to the Nab. Not much of anything but all told there was a Spotted Ray (3lb 6oz) A Thornback (5lb) a couple of Starry Smoothhounds and a Common one, a few Whiting, Pout and Dogfish and one little Dab.Roll on the summer!! [Report by Jim] |
Sunday 8 March 2009 - Littlehampton - Jenifers Pride (Steve Hipgrave)Another cancellation due to horrible cold, wet, windy weather. |
Sunday 22 February 2009 - Littlehampton - Jenifers Pride (Steve Hipgrave)It was cold and we went out to catch a cod but no cod. We did catch a lot of (smallish) Whiting and some pout and dogfish and two little dabs, which was better than most boats did on the day. There was also a mystery ray (male) caught which weighed 4.4 lb and we had trouble deciding what sort it was. Various possibilities have been put forward including Sandy, Cuckoo, Blonde and Starry. The jury is still out but currently the experts seem to be coming down on the side of SPOTTED ray. Still a good size specimen spotted ray.[Report by Jim] |
Sunday 1 February 2009 - Hayling Island - Great White (Sean Heath)Cancelled - The weather AGAIN |
Sunday 18 January 2009 - Littlehampton - Jenifers Pride (Steve Hipgrave)Another cancellation due to adverse weather. |
Sunday 11 January 2009 - Hayling Island - Great White (Sean Heath)Cancelled - Force 7 wind forecast |
Sunday 4 January 2009 - Littlehampton - Jenifers Pride (Steve Hipgrave)Just five club members on the boat, it would have been a full complement but I wont embarrass anyone by going into the reasons for the three no-shows. Bitterly cold but apparently not as bad as the previous day when there was a nasty easterly wind to cope with as well.Although most of the other boats headed off to the west we went after the bass. It was the end of the ebb so there was not a lot doing to begin with so we anchored up a little way from the rock in the hope of a cod while we waited for the flood tide. No cod, just dogfish and when the tide started we went back to drifting over the rock. The fish were still a little shy but we ended the day with every one catching at least one bass (the three biggest were 8lb. 7.5lb and 5.5lb) and of course no one had missed out on the dogfish. We also had a surprise from one mackerel which took a bass lure. [Report by Jim] |
