    Went out with Dean for the first time with my mate ray,was a bit blowy and fish weren't biting.but what I can say that Dean is a top skipper and does his up most to get you on the spots.i certainly can't wait to go out on his boat again,he makes you feel comfortable if your new to boat fishing and will help you all the way.

    Skippers Reponse: Thanks Nick. Glad you enjoyed your day, we always try to have a good laugh on board. By the way, Ray left his hat on the boat, will keep it for next time.

    Had a brilliant day today on gemeni 2 no cod but we found plenty of skate smoothound whitings mackerel Gurnard and even catching herrings on the slack water Dean worked very hard on deck today and found the fish very comftorble boat and will be rebooking. I also own lady ann of ramsgate and made such a good change to be looked after.

    Skippers Reponse: Glad to hear you enjoyed your day. Let us know when you fancy another day out on our Gem.

    Skippers Reponse: Glad you enjoyed the day, you should have asked for bickies I have a supply!!! Jan always keeps the biscuit tin topped up.

    Dene is the nicest bloke and skipper I've meet his boat is clean and tip top he rang me day before to say not a lot is coming up but I still went (fishing is fishing) had loads off doggies no cod a good day and a honest bloke .Kris

    Skippers Reponse: Thanks Kris, very true - fishing is fishing, but I will always let parties know in advance when it is slow. Look forward to seeing you again. Hopefully the winds this week will stir it up a bit.

    Hopefully some good fishing will start in March. It has been a lousy winter cod-wise!

    First trip out on Gemini II from Queenborough, Isle of Sheppey produced a decent 9lb Bass, for one of our regular "ex-Dover" parties. A few smaller bass, plus smoothhounds, dabs, whiting and some mackerel.

    Went out with Dean again today, the 3rd June 2016. Very overcast and a bit choppy and not looking too promising. As usual Dean pulled it out of the bag and managed to get us on the fish, moving marks 7 or 8 times to search them out. We had turbot, bass, whiting, Pollock, pouting, plaice, dab, gurnard, mackerel, dogfish and a bunch of Sandeels. We even had a visit from UK Border force to make sure we weren't trying to better the country illegally. Nothing is too much trouble for this skipper, his boat is immaculate and he keeps the tea and coffee coming all day. Highly recommended
