    Report on-board Size Matters

    [This report was written when Size Matters was operating from Plymouth]

    Over the last week we have been helping a few kids get into sea fishing, the weather has been very good so I decided to throw the kids in at the deep end and take them wrecking.
    To get kids interested in fishing on there first few times out you need to help them catch something big, that gives them the wow factor to get them hooked. On one of the days 11 year old Harrison Jones from Newport caught the biggest Pollack of the day, a cracking summer Pollack of 13lb. On a different day 10 year old Arron Higham from Preston caught the biggest Pollack of the day 11lb and he also caught the most. The kids absolutely loved the trips, it's so important to get kids into fishing instead of sitting at home playing on iPads and Xbox's.
    It's a big world out there and experiencing nature first hand beats technology every time!!!
    On other trips we have been catching Blue Shark to 80lb, Conger to 43lb, Ling to 38lb, Cod to 18lb, Pollack to 17lb, Tub Gurnard to 5lb 8oz and a 40lb Sunfish that came to say hello.
