    Report on-board Meerkat

    Meerkat charters heading to Portishead

    Meerkat is a well known charter boat what has been based out of Weymouth for the past 13 years and with the skipper/ owner Ryan for the past 9 of them years.

    This winter 2023/2024 we have decided to have a change of scenery and head to the Bristol Channel to fish for the Cod run and Rays from the 1st of December 2023 till the 26th of March 2024.

    With the boat being 36ft long and 13ft Wide we offer a massive amount of deck space what will be able to fish 8 people extremely comfortably. Seats inside and out for everyone to have the option to sit down as we are travelling to the marks or waiting for those bites, Heated wheelhouse to keep ourselves warm on those cold winter days as well.
    We will also be offering Hot dogs for lunch plus plenty of tea/ coffee through out the day.

    If you haven’t got up tiding gear don’t worry cause we will have 8 full sets ready to go but also the Normal down tide gear works as well. Main bait will be Rag/Lug and squid.

    We are hoping there will be free street parking available.

    Looking forward to a change

    As we can all tell Meerkat is coming to Portishead from Weymouth so this is a massive change of waters with new marks/ tides and style of fishing but we have got this covered. This winter we met up with a very good mate Mike with Teddie Boy charters to show us the general area and to get a few days fishing in ourself whilst giving me the chance to learn the tide and area, what turned into a brilliant few days.

    But don’t be concerned about the change Ryan has been fishing since a kid learning many different styles and areas through his years in match fishing,big specimen hunting and of course boat fishing from many different marines so we are looking forward to taking on the Bristol Channel.
