Jon Wheway (04/11/2018)
Another great day out with Roger (remember the chocolate biscuits next time). 8 hour trip from 9am . Started with usual odds n sods but the day took a lovely turn when we bought along side a surprise spurdog. This promptly bit through the hooked whiting. But it was the first of 13 hooked and 11 boated. Brilliant experience and as Roger said, other than the occasional fish the first he’d had on his boat for 20 years. Pics uploaded. Thanks Roger, see you next year

Thanks for a great trip out Roger,
3 of us boarded a full boat of 10 at 8am yesterday. sailed out to the first mark which was a bit slow same at the 2nd mark.
Roger then moved again and put us right on the fish, plenty of mackerel, Rays whiting and Bullhuss came out and everyone on the boat was into fish, some quality fish coming out keeping the skipper busy all afternoon ( you earned your crust Roger) hahaha.
2 birthdays on board yesterday so out came the party gear CAKE which went down a treat.
Weather was hot some of us took the knock late afternoon.
Quality day with a quality skipper and boat will defo be booking again mate.
All the best Liverpool Lads Tony, Tommy and Dave -

Great day out on Merlin. It was my 14 year old and his mates first fishing trip and Roger looked after us really well. Good variety of fish caught with the mackerel in the fridge and freezer now. They opted for a Dominos pizza on the way home though and when i suggested Anchovies on top they weren't keen - apparently look like the lug worm bait!! Thanks again - a great day. Chris

Really good day out with Roger. Some good fish caught including ling and some nice cod from a wreck we went out to as the general bottom fishing wasn't lighting up the world - thanks to the skipper for making the call to go out to the wreck. Everyone went home happy and I've got a freezer with some good cod fillets in it. Hopefully be able to book on again some time this summer. Would happily recommend the skipper and the boat
Skippers Reponse: Thanks Jon hope to see you soon .
