Jim Wells (30/06/2024)
Brilliant day out for my son and myself this was his 80th birthday treat to me and could not have much better, the skipper Colin helped with advice and practical help, and hot drinks, we caught seven Smooth Hounds between us up to 11lb and many dogfish. all in all a fantastic day one I will never forget. Many thanks to Colin [the skipper] for all his help. Jim Wells.
Skippers Reponse: Thanks Jim
Glad you enjoyed your birthday treat , and well done on the fish 3 doubles in one day

Out again on Lead Us, no less than five different species on board in a period when East Coast fishing can be sporadic. Colin once again pulled the rabbit from the hat and put us on marks that produced fish after fish. Thanks Colin ,see you again when it's a little warmer..
Skippers Reponse: Thanks Roger
It was a hard day and you all did well

Another enjoyable trip aboard Lead Us on a day when the weather was not at its best. A sprinkling of fish aboard that included a couple of codling. Thanks Colin , looking forward to the next time. Best regards, Roger Jones.
Skippers Reponse: Thanks Roger
Look forward to seeing you again

My son and I enjoyed a fantastic day out with Colin on 21/05/22 who had great tackle for us to use and his knowledge as both a skipper and as a fisherman are exemplary. He even makes the teas and coffees while he makes sure everyone is getting the most they can from their experience. Everyone on board caught fish - dogfish and whiting were the main catch but there were rays (thorn backs) and smooth hounds too - thoroughly enjoyed our day out, I would recommend Colin and Lead Us charters without a doubt - many thanks Colin!
Skippers Reponse: Thanks Paul
Glad you enjoyed yourselves and your fish

Just returned home after a most enjoyable day aboard Lead Us out of Lowestoft. After a short steam North Colin put us on a mark that produced fish steadily all day. Tea and coffee was available many times throughout the day and hot sausage rolls were enjoyed by all around midday. Colin's enthusiasm for fishing is undeniable and was always willing to give advice to improve our chances . Thanks Colin, already looking forward to the next trip.
Skippers Reponse: Thanks Roger glad you enjoyed your day
