    Report on-board Kelley's Hero Charters

    So, Kelley’s Hero has been on a variety of trips since the last blog. We have had days inshore where it has been flat calm, and some days offshore which were as slow as anything.

    The wrecking trips we have been on have been hard work recently, with each trip getting harder and harder, and the fish getting further away. When the weather eventually let us out on the wrecks, we have had to end our day on the Bass to save ourselves. Even though when we finally found the cod and the pollack they were a nice size etc and in good condition.

    When we fished inshore over the last few weeks, we have struggled to find any mackerel for our bait, but thanks to our friends the hardback crab, we have managed to find a few smoothounds Among the other species such as rays, bream, tope and wrasse. As the tides have been building, during the tide run we have headed out to try and bag a few bass. This has worked nicely with our customers. The bass we are seeing on board have all been on avaerage 5lb.

    As it is now nearly the end of July, we thought it would be a good time to go and try and catch some Plaice. We took our first trip last Friday, and well what can we say, we found our first spots of the year. The plaice are in very good condition and fighting fit.

    And at last we can now announce the mackerel seem to have arrived. About time is all we can say.
    Kelley’s Hero has now been out of the water and blasted off, ready to go and catch some more plaice, bass, mackerel and whatever else it is you are after.
    Please take a look at our schedule and see when we are available to get you out fishing.
