Going boat fishing?

DB With A Norway Cod

Welcome to Boat Fishing Monthly magazine's website. Bringing you more great angling features, top tackle tests and mark info than ever before.

Well, if the sport continues as it has been so far, we could be in for a record year! The cod are showing well off the south coast already, and they're much bigger than last year's fish with many well into double figures. The bream sport is still good too, with an early start to the season allowing many to get out and bag up. The smoothhounds and tope have also arrived in huge numbers, with the best tope reported to the mag so far a huge 76lb female caught on Barry Meech's Hayling Island-based charter boat 'Nab-Cat'.

This is your website, so join the forum and gallery, tell us what you like and where you like to fish. Share your photos and fishing tales and really contribute to the future of Boat Fishing Monthly - Britain's leading boat fishing magazine.
