    Had a great time last Sunday and can’t help to leave a comment here! Greg and Judy are super patient and approachable. They will teach you how to fishing, provide equipment, change to different places etc so as to make sure we get something. The boat is really nice with enough standing and sitting spaces for 9 people. As a freshman, I got 5 fish happily (although only 1 of them met the standard so we could keep it). The fish just tastes so amazing! Definitely recommend and will come back next time.

    Skippers Reponse: Thanks for the review! It was a pleasure to have you all onboard. Everyone was keen wanted to get involved and nice people.

    Hope you see you all again soon.

    There are good days and great days and today was definitely a great day. Joined by Nick and his gang from Portsmouth who were good anglers and top fellas, we went out for an 8 hour trip targeting Plaice. Despite some tricky conditions and the wind affected our drifts we had fish pretty much non stop. Varying sizes (some micro fish like the smallest thornback I’ve ever seen) but a good number of keepers. Final tally was an amazing 81 Plaice! There was also gurnard, dabs, whiting, smooth hounds, dogs and that micro ray. Great day thanks for joining me Nick and friends.

    A great 4 hour session with some new guys aboard plus a regular and his boys (top young fishermen out fished the adults!). 30 plaice of varying sizes with 11 keepers, some dabs, gurnards and solitary whiting and smooth hound (plus I will say it quietly mackerel!).

    Sun shone, fish came to play and a lovely crew so cant ask for more.

    An excellent day wreck hoping around some of Sussex's many marks. Bass, Pollock and Big Bream the target and target achieved. The big breams numbers will only increase over the next few weeks and if you like a bit a big of squid...they are now showing up along with cuttle.

    Great day out with John Fu & the crew. Thanks for coming out on The Kraken.

    Fish Dolphins & Fantastic weather
    playful
    What a stunning day. The weather couldn't have been any better and we had a great crew with us. Yi and has friends first fishing trip was one I hope they wont forget. Plenty of bream joined the party with plenty making the grade for dinner later. These were joined by some good sized mackerel and some small plaice. The most popular guests of the day was the pod of Bottlenose dolphins that followed the boat for 20+ minutes. It was an amazing experience and the two young ones certainly put on a show for us all on board...very playful.

    A truly memorable day.

    Great to be back out after the recent bad weather and to be joined by Jing, her family and friends. Plenty of fish caught but Bream mainly on the small size released to grow up. A few decent table fish, plaice including this slab of a fish, cuttle and some very decent sized mackerel. Lovely bunch of people on the boat and we were joined by a very friendly pod of dolphins to top the day off.
