    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
    Cheers Colin

  • 5-star Roger Jones (28/12/2022)

    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
    Cheers Colin

    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
    Cheers Colin

    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

    Skippers Reponse: It was good to see everyone catching and enjoying themselves

    Lead us charters out of Lowestoft on the Codling
    What a great weekend for all who were involved, well done to Saturday's crew for putting up with the rough weather but still managed to boat 12 codling.
    Sunday's conditions were much calmer with another 17 codling boated, all fish over the 2 days were in the 2lb to 4lb range and in great condition , plus the usual whiting and doggies.
    Again well done to both crews for a great weekend.

    Non stop action !
    After losing Saturday to the weather , we head out of Lowestoft on the morning of Sunday 20th into a very choppy harbour entrance. By the time we had rounded Ness point things calmed down and we headed to our mark. As soon as we settled on the anchor and the baits were down it was constant sport all day with endless Whiting and Doggies, 3 Thornbacks and 5 Codling an excellent day had by all and a very happy crew.
    Cheers Colin
