Kev Goodman had a quality cod of 11lb on Jay Jay up at Watchet. The party had a good days sport after the strong winds subsided with a mixed bag of fish including whiting, spurs, smoothies, ray, conger and dogfish. Still spaces available for weekend trips up until Christmas.
M J Luscombe who had seven carp up to 25lb 3oz on the summer house swim on Beattie’s lake using Mainline cell boilies.
Ian Laird landed this 9lb 15oz bull huss whilst fishing a local rock mark. The fish was part of a haul that consisted of smoothound, dogfish and pollock.
(Above) This 3lb 6oz codling was tempted by Chay Boggis from a local beach whilst targetting bass.
Ali Laird fished the estuary to land nine flounder to 1lb 9oz. Flounder fishing should be good for the next few weeks with heavy rain flushing out the river.

November can be an exciting time for sea anglers with a vast range of species to target. A big squid or mackerel bait presented on a pennel rig is likely to bring rewards from deep water marks all along the coast. Make sure you use a substantial hook length to withstand sharp teeth. I use a minimum of 80lb b.s mono or fluorocarbon for my shore fishing with a heavy wire trace if tope are a possibility, contrary to popular opinion.
Ian Hooper fished a local shore mark to land dogfish, whiting and this fine small eyed ray of 9lb 1.5oz. The fish was tempted using peeler crab presented on a pulley rig on a 3/0
Rob Kendal enjoyed an action packed short autumn session at Jennetts Reservoir banking four carp including two twenties. The fish were all tempted on Rob’s home boilies with the best three pulling the scales to 25lb 5oz, 23lb 2oz and 19lb 2oz.
Alan George 39, from Treharris, South Wales fished Anglers Paradise for the Netting Shenanigans and even managed a couple of days fishing resulting in this stunner of a 21lb 14oz Common from Nirvana’s Day Ticket Xanadu Lake.
Alan caught the Common using Mad Baits Nuts snowman on a Fluro D Rig, fished over boilie crumb and whole boilies.
A great on line read and its free!http://eat-sleep-fish.co.uk/
Josh Atkinson put in the effort to make several trips throughout the back end of October and he was rewarded with 2 decent specimens, these were a locally caught Bull Huss of 13-7-8 and an Undulate Ray of 11-12-8 from Dorset’s chesil Beach. Josh was not sure he would have landed the Huss if it wasn’t for the strength and quality of the Cox & Rawle meat hooks as most hooks would probably have bent out when lifting a fish of that size. The fish was lifted as it was too rough to get to the shoreline with the net. Both fish were also released to fight another day.
Steve Pinn landed this stunning carp of 27Ib 4oz carp during his latest session on Stafford Moor’s Lodge Lake.The fish was one of eight landed on Uberbaits Ubernutz. Superb fishing considering it coinciding with the first frost of the season.
Graham Wray has targeted Upper Tamar’s new carp in the last few weeks and has been rewarded with three of the newly stocked fish. Its great to see Graham back at the water he fished a lot many years ago. Graham’s fish tipped the scales to 22lb, just over 23lb and a 24lb 8oz lightly coloured fish which was stocked at 21lb10oz only two months ago.
