Great Trip out Thursday 5th Nov. Two very keen Romanian Anglers (fly fishermen) catching 10lb Pollock on light gear. A few cod and saithe adding to the mix. Weather has been very good so far this Autumn, a few windy days ahead, but there still looks like some fine fishing weather coming this month. Not very many folk around these parts in November, so we are happy to do deals, just to get the boat out of the harbour! Get in touch if you want to fish this winter.

2015 Report (07/09/15 better late than never!) - Been too busy to keep up to date! To summarise the season so far, there has not been a day without good fishing since we started up in April. Big pollock at some of our prime sites, and lots of them. Cod just about everywhere we go. Mackeral came early and will still be around for several months to come. Tope, Spur dog and smooth hound caught frequently this year. Thorn backs in abundance. Going to keep fishing up to 30th November.

November exploratory trip for Porbeagle shark. With poor weather hampering our intended plans, we resorted to sheltering in relatively shallow water at anchor. Much chumming, with mature and fresh bait - produced eight spurdog all between 5 and 6 lb's. Mackeral were numerous, with some very big. We also hit a great spot with some extremely good pollock... no Porbeagles this time, but we'll keep trying.
