    Had a great bunch of lads with us this week, we hit the hounds first nearly 30 up to 14lb plus around 10 skate up to 11lb as the tide eased the fishing slowed a little so we motored off to a wreck at the blacktail no sooner were the baits in the water hounds were coming aboard approaching low water. As soon as we had we swung to flood tide bang a nice smoothhound to 15.5lb and several up to 12lb as the tide started to be a problem a general opinion was to get on the oaze for shallower water as we started retrieving the anchor a shout roared out whoa and to our surprise a 10lb cod i was lost for words but still a nice fish. On arriving at the oaze we were straight into skate a further 15 up to 10lb (most of the skate were returned to fight another day also a further 15 hounds up to 9lb plus the usual dogs and still some half decent whiting not bd for 6 anglers,i will try to get pics on as soon as i can until our next trip great fishing and tight lines

    Hello yet again bad rumours, i m just about getting cheesed off regarding the slagging off by petty idiots from the crouch if they read this they will know who i am talking about. Our vessel is one of the easiest to get aboard there is no climbing ladders rails or long walks from car parks if i tell you that it is easy to get on then i dont have to lie but when i get feedback regarding my business then whoever it is will get a rude awakening we are not the fastest boat in the fleet but thats the way we like it iam sure 49 years in the job speak for itself as for comfort we can shelter our anglers in our cabin and wheelhouse but when the question of disabled anglers are concerned then please speak to me first as i can then let you have contacts that fish with us (of which some are disabled) tell you how easy it is to go for a days fishing with us, sorry for a report like this but Matt and myself have had enough and harsh words will follow if we do find the culprit Trev / Matt

    Amazing fishing despite the weather blowing North east 25 mph Friday and much the same Saturday but a slight change to the north north east Sunday plenty of skate Friday close to home with a crowd from London complete novices but they managed to get the hang of it by the end of the day , Saturday a trip down river produced 20 smooth hounds to 10 lb plus a good amount of skate to 11 lb but they brought their own squid and it was as pink as a girls blouse lol. Sunday a far better day 30 hounds to 14.11 lbs and 6 skate to 13 lb that we did manage to coax on herring as yet again the squid was dire lucky we had some hermits that saved the day well done lads hope to see you again in the future

    Due to some Tossers cancelling at the last moment this bank holiday Monday the 29th the boat is now vacant for a booking,people seem to think that we run a charity i can tell you we dont, the organiser cant really be blamed he has been with me before and no problems but a group that work with him wanted to go desperately so no deposit was taken and its come back to bite me in the arse they have gone into work double money but not for me so if anyone would like a day out just email or text i will ring you straight back many thanks for all the genuine anglers that do wish to get out fishing till next time deposits taken for a easier life lol

    Hi Folks just a quick update for the bank holiday weekend lots of skate on all three days plus the neverending dogs a report of a codling on sat but nothing to speak of.Monday was a little slower due to the 26 to 36 mph winds but a great day was had by Graham and the lads and the rain managed to stay away until after we landed so all in all a great long weekend. I somehow dont think the spring run of cod will now come so its eyes down for the summer species bigger hounds and the bass plus hopefully some mackerel this year so until next time super fishing and tight lines regards Trev

    Sorry for the delay just a few lines all i can say is wall to wall skate we had 3 trips last week our first venture we caught 83 up to 12.5 lbs with 6 anglers for 6 hrs fishing our second trip a small party of 4 as they like to have the boat to themselves but 62 skate up to 14 lbs our final midweek trip was another bumper lot over 60 for only 4 hrs as the lads had a family get together to go to so if you want skate then come out for a day and fill your bags also we had a few bass from 2 to 4 lb which were returned as per our current laws roll on july when we are legally allowed to take our own fish home another reason for quitting the EU just to be allowed to catch our fish in our waters instead of watching day after day foreign boats fishing unhindered right up to our beaches and inside our estuaries laughing all the way to the bank so until next time good fishing and happy days

    Sorry if this offends but if i find out who the bloody idiot or group that has been spreading rumours about me or my business i will come down on them like a ton of bricks.Firstly i have not retired or died i intend to work until i can no longer do so, i have worked on the water in many different ways for the last 48 years and to hear of such crap being put about makes my blood boil. Secondly the tackle business that my son works in is not closing down the reasons the shop is shut on Tuesday and Wednesday until march has been down to the atrocious weather the we have been enduring the last few months and this has also stopped us going to sea for a good many weekends. I am not like some skippers that will take customers out regardless off conditions as do some skippers i know i enjoy my time afloat and i will not go for the sake of it i do hope this clears matters for those concerned and as the saying goes if you want the truth get it direct from the horses mouth not his ARSE until next time hopefully good fishing and tight lines
