Charter Boats UK

First time on Discovery with Gary (and Mick--a scouse / Jock, Team Scotland Angler!). And WOW ! What a day. Caught my 1st ever cod (Almost 20 years trying). Was on the trip with my father-in-law, son and the Mrs. Trip was part for sons' 18th and our 20th wedding Anniversary. The Mrs had a 2 cod, and dozens of whiting, and my son had bucket loads identity crisis whiting-they thought they were cod--huge fish, followed closely by the father - in - law. Ive never met a skipper like Gary. Nothing too much trouble for him and he kept the brews flowing and the scran coming!! Amazing knowledge and fantastic Daiwa Tackle, gorgeous vessel loads of space. This vessel is completey DISABLED ACCESS FRIENDLY. I only have one leg and use a prosthetic, I struggle fairly badly with another condition but got on board totally effortlessly. All day Gary kept an eye on me and made sure I was ok or needed anything--REALLY REASSURING for someone like me. This was my first charter trip for quite a few years following my amputation and complications with my illness and I'm so relieved I found Discovery and Gary, because I didn't think I'd ever boat fish again. So thank-you Gary & Mick for EVERYTHING. Great lads, great crack, great fishing, I will definately be coming out again with you lads very soon (if you'll have us!!) to give them big boys some stick next. THANKS GARY. Oh one last thing ...........you spell it......C.......O......D lol !!

Skippers Reponse: thanks dieter i am glad you enjoyed yourselves hope to see you again soon . Gaz

COD, small, (mine was under size - ergh!), but clean beautiful fish, I wish I had another trip booked soon, but life has a habit of getting in the way of my fishing!

Skippers Reponse: cheers H see you next month hopefully Gaz

Best crew, and boat, I have ever fished on. The fishing was good but will get better as the cod season gets going. the 5star rating means outstanding. pitty there is not a seven star rating as these guys would get it every time

Skippers Reponse: cheers Eric so glad you enjoyed your day, See you next month Gary

Top class day out, plenty of fish caught. The help given to the sea fishing virgins was 2nd to none! Thanks Gary and the crew, see you next year, plus the night out after was top notch too! Mark from Ashbourne

Skippers Reponse: Tanks Mark for the positive feedback it really means alot, glad to know you enjoyed yourselves we had a laugh to ,see you next year Gaz glad the lads looked after you in the club in Town

Gary & son helped make a great experience out of fishing in the mersey estuary. With a selection of novices and beginners we split into 2 teams to put a competative spin on the day with the winning team being the one with most fish landed and an individual battle for biggest fish of the day. While Ste P stared off quick out of the blocks with 2 large whitey around the 1lb mark he soon floundered :) and was overtaken by the other equally competative members...Mike & Andy pulling them on board faster than i could count. Gary kept us fed n watered with teas/coffees/sausage barms and pies...cheers for that Gaz. The battle lead for the lead swapped from team Ste to team Danny several times throughout the course of the day...and a few missed strikes on both teams could have easily mad ethe difference. Dave G pulled a nice Dover sole on board to lead teh individual comp. for mosty of the day but eventually was overturned by Andy who caught a tidy Thornback Ray at 7lb 10oz...well done mate...It was too little too late from Team Danny and Team Ste eventually took the comp. with a count of 53 to 49 i think it was eventually...a great days fishing was had by all...weather stayed calm which was a blessing too. Will definitely be looking to book again for the summer, can't recommend the boat and crew highly enough. A great was to celebrate my belated 40th bday.

Skippers Reponse: H Danny thanks for the review hope to see you next year, by the way Dave Gs fish was a 2lb Flounder not a Dover Sole,glad you all enjoyed the day. Cheers Gaz

I had a fantastic day despite being on the losing side. Thank you for your hospitality and patience. Looking forward to doing it again soon. Cheers

Skippers Reponse: Cheers Leon, there's always next time to win. It was a close competition. See you soon gary

another excellent day out with Gary, good crowd, whiting plentiful as was the tea and coffee, as ever the sausage sarnies for breakfast and pasties for lunch were very welcome, they just taste better on the Discovery somehow! H

Skippers Reponse: cheers H hope to see you soon Gaz

Thanks Gary for a really pleasant day on board the Discovery, pity the cod didn't bite but plenty of dog fish. Would definately book with you again thanks again.

Skippers Reponse: cheers John see you shortly gaz

Had a superb time with a great group of lads, Gary and Sean made us all feel very welcome, and continued with exelent hospitality throughout the trip. We were given options of what kind of fish we wanted to catch, so boys being boys said BIG fish. Gary and Seans knoledge was outstanding tackle was top notch and if we had any problems with tackle, it was sorted straight away, tea and coffee were provided and some light snacks. ie hot dogs and hot pies later.. we are already planning our next outing with Gary on the discovery. i highly recommend them :)

Skippers Reponse: cheers eddy hope to see you soon gaz

Fantastic days fishing. All 10 lads had a great time with fish to over 40lb (Tope). Great crew, happy to share their knowledge and kept us fed and watered too !!

Skippers Reponse: cheers lads glad you enjoyed it hope to see you again Gary
