After a bit of a lay up due to waiting on replacement parts we got back out for a days charter over the weekend.
Lads were treated to some fine quality Pollack on the sidewinder lures and live baits.
There's plenty of fish ont he grounds now so time to stock up on the fillets and get the rods bending! I was also totally made up with seeing a other Comber!
With more good weather on the horizon we will be out filling your boots with quality fish from a range of species.

Now the homework is done, time to put the anglers on the fish...
Another night time break in the winds, taking some local rods out to the ray grounds.
Stacks of small eyed rays, a few blonde rays, a spotted ray, a stack of whiting (even enough left for me after the trip) and a few hard fighting congers too. Superb fun in 50 feet of water! View Boats Page

A rare play day for relief skipper kev!
Joined by the boss we headed out to pinpoint where the rays are - we've had loads of ray on the evening trips this season but only 2-3 per trip, they must be holding up somewhere...
Within minutes of dropping the lines in the rays were feeding, and feeding hard. With only the two of us onboard it was manic! We lost count at 26 rays, mainly small eyed up to 12.75lb but a few blondes to 14lb there too.
In just 2 hours of fishing we smashed through 4 packs of sandeel, 3 boxes of squid and a pack on anchovy. When the baits are only big enough for 3/0 hooks, that a lot of fish!!!
An awesome afternoon out with the Mrs and the homework done for the charters. View Boats Page

The heavens opened!
Wow what a down pour! So much rain I thought we saw the Ark go by at one point.
Making the most of the break in the winds we headed out for some huss and congers before coming back under the cliff to top up on some whiting.
The huss played ball, dozens to mid doubles and a good stamp of eels into the late 20's. Finished off with a few buckets of 1-8 to 2-12 whiting.
An awesome way to spend a few hours of an evening. View Boats Page

A group of local lads treated to some great winter anchor fishing. Lost count of the number of blonde rays to mid 20's, spurs to late teens, smoothing to 12lb and the usual extras like whiting, pouting, conger.
Rods bending all day, loads of fun and plenty of hot drinks too! View Boats Page

With the onslaught of high winds, named storms, driving rain it is nice to know we have some entertaining fishing available on part day or evening trips! These run throughout the year and have the protection of Plymouth Sound to look after us.
Here we have members of the Security team at local hospital, Derriford, and their friends & family.
Action all through the night with spotted ray, conger, doggies, and whiting. �� View Boats Page

Report on-board Silver Halo
I've not run any public charters since December 2023 and will start again properly in March 2024 but I have got out with friends and family several times in Jan 2024 and the fishing has been good with pollock to 15lb and bass to over 8lb being caught in just a few trips on the best weather days.
There are NO NETS ON THE WRECKS so it's looking like we could have a decent season with some bigger fish being caught!
Whilst I've been less busy onboard with helping clients etc I've been able to fish myself and get some great use out of my new JOKER jigs and lures. I've also created several videos and there up on my new utube channel so please take a look. There's some good fish and plenty of tips on Slow Pitch Jigging.
I look forward to seeing you soon!
Thanks Matt View Boats Page

Report on-board Silver Halo
Fishing has been really good the last couple of months and I've found a good run of pollock to keep my clients busy while the bass slowly arrive.
Lures and jigs have been used to great effect and I've just too many pics to upload so I've just done a select few! Please see my facebook page and group for more regular updates and reports.
So I hope the pollock fishing remains a good option, but I'm also expecting larger numbers of bass to start holding on our inshore wrecks, allowing us to fish with lures, jigs and occasionally live baits a bit closer to home.
I've been using some new jigs and lures that have done really well and these are currently available onboard for my clients to purchase.
I also have good lure and SPJ rods and reels for clients to use, these are included in the charter price.
Silver Halo is affordable as a private charter so its worth considering that as an option.
Please see my availablity calander, the unspecified days are usually available for either individuals or complete boat charters.
Many thanks Matt View Boats Page
