ALL NEW REPORTS THIS WEEK

 

For the first time this summer we are able to bring you three pages of new reports, due in part to a slight improvement in the weather and because its two weeks since my last update, which had something to do with a trip to the west country where I and the Rodbenders crew did a spot of fishing.

 

So on the site this week you will find reports and pictures from the last two weeks action from Kent to Lands End

We also have in depth reports and results from both the Lance Peters and Penzance Open competitions.

Due to a cancellation we decided to have a family and friends day, so off we steamed to a sandbank in the Thames estuary where we anchored up and started fishing. Sean Harris the brother of the owner of Dentex had a 13lb 8oz bass and skate up  to 10lb, the bass was caught on 12lb class gear and bait was fresh mackerel fillet. All the skate were returned alive to fight another day, Sean had not been fishing for 2 years and cannot wait for the winter to show us how to catch a double figure cod, it just goes to show how healthy the estuary now is.

Family fun Day

I had a group of visiting anglers aboard from Southport, who had returned again this year, for three day package of mixed charter fishing aboard "Gemini".  On Monday they had chosen to fish the "Skerries" banks which are situated about 4 miles out of Dartmouth, in pursuit of Plaice, which they found.

It was Jake Rogan's 11th Birthday. This trip was part of his present, which pleased him greatly.  Jake had a Birthday cake aboard, complete with candles, even if the South Westerly breeze did blow out his candles.  Jake was a very happy lad when he caught his own top quality "Birthday" Plaice.  This is a day that Jake will remember for many years to come.
