Hi all,
A quick up-date.
To me October and November is all about Cod fishing with the hope of catching that big lunker. So far the fishing for Ocbober has been really good, with plenty of cod in the 5-8lbs bracket and some bigger fish to about 16lbs and I know the 20lbs + fish is on the cards soon. There's been some biggish congers snuffling the cod baits, I'm really looking forward to November, fingers crossed for good weather.
Here,s the individual dates for November: Thursday 6th
Wednesday 19th
Tight lines Matt "OPTIMIST"

First, sorry for the delay in my news update.
I have added an individuals date list to the end of this report.
As I sit here writing my up-date it is blowing a gooc force 7 south westerly, which has been the general trend for most of the "summer"! it really has been lousy, and I would like to take the time to apologize to all of you who have organized fishing trips just to have them cancelled due to bad weather, I know how frustrating it is.
On the days we have got out it has generally been quite good, starting with good numbers of bream,the Tope showing up with there usual reliability, Blonde and Udulate Raysseem to have been plentiful, unlike the mackerel which showed up late and have been a bit hard work, some day's it would seem you couldn't go wrong and the following week you would have thought there wasn't a mackerel in the sea!
I am very much hoping the weather will sort it's self out, and that the windy weather doesn't continue for the Cod season.
Some of the charter boats which managed to pick a good day to get offshore to the summer Cod grounds had some bumper catches which bode's well for the winter cod fishing.
The conger's are starting to show regularlly in the catches at the moment, so as the summer species leave and the winter one's start returning it shouldn't be long before we start seeing the Cod showing up inshore.
I have had a lot of enquiry's regarding individual trips, so what I have decided to do,at the end of this new up-date is to put a couple of date's which I will choose for the better tides, and any individuals who would like to book a place can ring me on a first come first serve bases. These trips will cost £45.00 per head, and I will need a minium of six places to be filled to make it worth while, how ever I will be happy to take a place and fish myself if there is only five.
Unfortuneately I have had to increase my prices due to the cost of fuel, on average £5.00 per head, but it seem's that you have bee...

Hi there every one,
February saw "OPTIMIST" out of the water for her winter refit, along with the usual maintenance tasks I had a couple of suprises! a new cutlass bearing and prop shaft had to be fitted, "that was fun""! Oh and a new cooker for 2008, I wouldn't want you to go with out your cups of tea and especially those hot pies on those cold winter days coding.
The weather was a bit hit and miss this March, but I had a few plaice trips just out of the harbour with some pretty reasonable results. But I'm really looking forward to the start of summer.
Summer is just around the corner now, we've started catching some nice blonde ray along with the odd bass on the off-shore banks, and the smooth hounds, tope and bream should be starting to show up in the next couple of weeks, along with the first of the mackerel and the rest of the summer species soon to follow.
I'm hoping and looking forward for some nice weather, to really get this season under way.
Bait suggestions:
Squid for black bream and is still good for genral fishing.
Sand eels /launce for those rays.
Hermit hard back and peeler crab is best for the smooth hounds.(but squid works)
Fresh mackerel for the tope, congers, bass and just about every thing else.
Oh well time to get on, I'll up date you soon, and I look forward to welcoming you aboard "OPTIMIST" before to long.
Tight lines and be safe, Matt.
"OPTIMIST out".
