Report on-board Size Matters
We managed to get out yesterday for the first charter of the season from Plymouth,
it was my first day on the new job. It was like being back in school, learning how to fish new marks and getting to know the new boat. There was a group of local lads onboard so the expectations where high, as there was a few fish about according to the lads. As we got to the first mark we where on the last of the ebb tide we only managed a few whiting and pouting to 2lb. Then we moved to another mark, the lads tried some bait but again just whiting and pouting. We moved for the 3rd time, then we hit a few pollack to 10lb. Just as we set up the second drift a pod of dolphins started circling the boat, great to watch but they don't help the fishing. Could this first day get any worse, so off we went again, Then finally we hit a good shoal of fish. The lads where kept very busy till the end of the day, 60+ fish kept.
Ling to 23lb 8oz and Pollack to 15lb 8oz, all the lads onboard enjoyed the day and said to me they would like this type of catch on there next trip. I said if only my job was that easy ha ha.
If you fancy a trip out of Plymouth just give me a call.
Here is a list of the available dates in March.
Tuesday 22nd,
Wednesday 23rd,
Thursday 24th,
I have more dates available in April and May.
Cheers

Report on-board Size Matters
Well there she goes, sailing from Liverpool to Brighton with her new owner.
Brigand has served me well over the last 4 years, it was the perfect charter boat to get started with. I must admit it's been hard work and very long hours to build my business but it's all been worth while.
I have met so many good people since I started and most are now good friends, thank you to everyone who helped make Brigand a success.
Now the time has come to take the next step for a bigger, better and faster charter boat. So watch this spaces because SIZE really does MATTER!! View Boats Page

Report on-board Size Matters
We where back on the Mersey again today with a group of lads from Winsford and they come loaded up with a bag of bananas.
A big no no on most charter boats as they bring bad luck and after the winter we have had we didn't need anymore of that.
The day started of very slow so the blame was on the bananas ha ha (any excuse will do). But as the flood tide kicked in the cod where on the move, best we had was
5lb 8oz, along with plenty of good size whiting and micro cod. Even I had a go and caught a few cod to 4lb, it's very rare I fish when I have a charter as I like to help everyone onboard as much as I can.
Your last chance to fish onboard Brigand is this Friday, I have 7 places available!
Cheers
