April 2012

 This looks like a cracking day out in mid April with local anglers Ian and Kevin holding up their 20lb Blonde Rays with my tiddler in the middle weighing half their monster size. All these Blondes came to the boat towards the end of the ebb at the same time.

March 2012

Soon after we got the White Maiden back on the water after the winter lift, scrub, anti-foul and engine services the Trident SAC were testing ground nine miles off the Needles. Actually on this occasion we had nothing too brilliant but this decent Whiting for Keith that was still hanging around from the winter season. In a quest for more action we latched into about a dozen or so Congers to 25lb, caught at the end of the flood fishing back towards a very large wreck.

February 2012

We only got out the once in February this year before I wrapped up the 'season' and although it was cold we had a very calm and comfortable day. The Congers obliged at the start and then right at the end of the day Ryan latched into and landed this nice 21lb Blonde Ray. She was released to fight another day.

January 2012

Needles fishing is generally good for the hardy ones amongst us, early in the new year.

I like it because of the fishing and not because of the freezing conditions that often greet us in the mornings.

Left is Keith of the Church Crookham SAC with a typical January 2012 Whiting.

Myself, along with Steve Davies on the right, can be seen with a pair of early 2012 Cod. Both Cod needed lots of bait to tempt them onto our 10/0 hooks! Cuttle and squid, being their weakness.
 

Happy days.
