    6 Jun 2013 by steve brookes

    Well, I'll try to keep this short. 7 lads, 6 of which have never fished and 4 are deaf.
    We all caught plenty of fish, and Colin was excellent at putting us on the fish and had loads of patients with the lads who had no idea.
    He showed them how to set up and bait up.I set out to catch a conger as I never have had one, with coloins help I achieved this, plus a monster that got away (it must have been 70lb aye Colin :-) . In all seriousness, a top boat top skipper and will be booking again so brush up on your sign language Colin!
    Reef fishing, 8 species caught. Highly recommended! Listen to him and you'll not go wrong. Get your trip booked with him.
    A big thanks from Steve the lads and the orangutan.

No in all seriousness everyone caught, a good stream of fish all day,8 species in total, very accommodating (even with 4 of our party being totally deaf). Brush up on the sign language for next time Colin. From Steve , all the lads and the orangutan a big thanks. Ps next time the 2 quid will be mine :-).

    7 of us went out with colib for the first time and colin put us straight on the fish! he was very helpfull to the 6 lads who have never fished and even though 4 of them are deaf he still managed to convey what was needed with relative ease. i set my target of catching a conger as i have never had one, colin helped me achieve this. all in all a great boat, skipper and day! will be booking again! listen to the man and you wont go wrong, we didnt. reef fishing mainley, 8 species caught. a big thanks drom steve the lads and the oranutan.

    Skippers Reponse: Thanks Steve I really enjoyed having you and the boys on Flamer IV and I look forward to seeing you all again.

  • 5-star kurt lander (03/06/2013)

    First trip out with Colin on Flamer IV, the day was fantastic great weather, good bunch on the boat was made welcome by all,day started off fishing for Brill and Turbot, pleanty caught by others on boat, i had my personal best plaice just under 5lb, very enjoyable day out with a Top Skipper. Will be out with colin in couple of weeks, for brill and turbot.

    Skippers Reponse: I am glad you enjoyed the day and look forward to seeing you in a couple of weeks.

    WEST COUNTRY TRIP 20-24 MAY. This was my first experience of Colin,s West Country trip which started with us sailing from Weymouth to our base in Dartmouth picking up some wrecking along the way. With good weather, the following day was ideal for drifting for plaice which saw over 40 fish to the boat. A great bonus is not having to drive long distances after a day,s fishing and the social side with good company is excellent. A good variety of fish were caught with ling to 20lbs and a couple of "firsts" for me. As ever you need to be lucky with the weather but this really is a trip with a difference and to be recommended. Thanks Colin for all your efforts to keep us on fish.

    Skippers Reponse: Thanks Trevor, I am glad you enjoyed the West Country Trip and hope you book on again next year.

  • 5-star Neil Barbour (03/05/2013)

    First time out with Colin. I can honestly say, in my option you will not find a harder working skipper. Myself and Julie had a fantastic day out, caught our 1st Ling(s) (good sizes too). It was a bit quieter after lunch, not Colin’s fault it’s just fishing!

    Skippers Reponse: Thanks Neil, it was a pleasure to have you and Julie on Flamer IV.Hope to see you both soon.

  • 5-star Tim Howe (19/04/2013)

    Cracking day out with Colin at anchor on the reefs and banks. Great skipper who pulls out all the stops to give you a good days fishing. Just the right balance of moving between marks: enough to keep things varied but not too much fishing time wasted. The fishing itself was sparse at times, but we managed a few cracking fish, with 3 or 4 specimen spurs and the biggest thornback I've ever seen in the flesh, plus conger, smoothhounds and the obligatory pout and dogs. All in all would definitely recommend the boat: Colin knows his stuff!

    Skippers Reponse: Thanks Tim, you were a pleasure to have on the boat and I look forward to seeing you on Flamer IV again soon.
