    Report on-board Brigand

    The tale of the Green net.....
    When I bought Brigand down to Brighton the previous skipper Kevin McKie (now operating "Size Matters" out of Plymouuth/Liverpool (great angler, great skipper & great boat so if you are ever down that way hit Kev up) left a huuuuge green net onboard. I mean this thing is massive, almost 4ft across and I have been tripping over it and meaning to take it off the boat for the last 6 months. Yesterday I was so glad I didn't!!! It was pressed into service 3 times for 20lb plus Blonde Ray's, the biggest over 25lb, patiently and skilfully landed by Sam.
    I knew we had a chance of a big Blonde but 3 of them at 20lb+ and a cracker over 25lb exceeded expectation. Target species were Brill and Turbot, happy to report that we boated 9 Turbot & 1 Brill up to 8lb 3oz - beautiful deep fish in prime condition.
    A great group of anglers who worked hard all day and were fantastic company so a big thank you to all for making the day so memorable.
    Interestingly, the two best fish of the day were caught as the sun was setting mid-channel so very pleased we decided to stay out on the banks and not at all concerned that we arrived back in Brighton in the dark gone 10pm. £45 for 13hrs of Turbot, Brill & Giant Blonde's - worth thinking about perhaps?
    Our focus is now moving to Winter Cod and as always with Brigand only the best and biggest will do - £50 will secure you quality tackle, quality bait, quality boat with no extras but as our reputation grows sadly the availability reduces so if you want to be assured of an excellent day out on the water get in touch soon.

    Best wishes

    Steve
