    Report on-board Atlantic Diver / Atlantic Explorer

    Fish, fish and more fish...made for exciting days and happy anglers this year aboard Atlantic Diver and our latest acquesition the Bounty . 8-9lb codling were coming in plentiful supply all summer. Tope in all sizes up to 35lb were a regular catch during late season and left fishermen taking back tales to the pub ( not literally) of their exciting haul as well as leaving smiles on the faces of skippers Chris Lowe and Aaron Trebillcock. (All sharks were returned to the sea as per the SSACN Tope Code of Best Practise). 12lb pollack, conger eel, 15lb ling, wrasse , john dory, red,grey and striped gurnard, black bream, garfish, smooth hound and of course copious amounts of good sized mackerel fit for the bar-b-que. A visit from TV chef Valentine Warner to eat what we caught proved very fruitful and sitting back in the breath takingly beautiful Newquay Bay whist the spoils of the day were cooked for us on board proved to be one of the most enjoyable days work we,ve had. An appearance by a pod of playful bottlenose dolphins jumping in our bow waves rounded the day off to perfection!!!!! Thanks Aaron for the tip off.
    Regular customer John Crisp booked a months fishing on and off with family and friends late season and caught more in a days fishing with Atlantic Diver than all season at home in South Hampton....Happy Days!! He spent the rest of his Cornish adventure tasting the delights of Falmouth Oysters and pints of Skinners Penny-Come-Quick real ale at the Falmouth Oyster Festival. as well as sampling the delights of Newquay.
    The season continues throughout the winter for those interested as we start up the smoker......hmmmm yummy.
    ( Val's TV programme will show some time in the spring 2011)
