    Report on-board Size Matters

    The Preston lad’s joined the 200lb club over the last two day’s, with Roy’s lucky school shoes, as he likes to call them.

    On the first day the lad’s caught 9 Skate,
    4 over 200lb with the biggest going
    90 inch X 71 inch 226lb!!

    George got the big Skate at 226lb, followed by Roy with his biggest ever Skate of 207lb,
    Brian was very lucky he caught 2 Skate over 200lb (201lb & 202lb) on his first ever Skate fishing trip!!

    On the second day we started off very well with two Skate over 200lb for Mick (204lb) and Luke (203lb).

    Then the light rod (for Blackmouth Dogfish) bent over with a Skate on, George was up for the challenge and 1 hour and 10 mins later he landed a Skate of 143lb on a Shimano Vengeance 20/30 and Shimano Torium 20HG reel loaded with 50lb braid.

    After that the lads caught 5 more Skate to take the total to 8 for the day.

    While Roy was fighting one of the Skate we realised he had left his bum in his going out suit ha ha (check the photo out).

    Joke’s aside we did catch a Skate with a rope around its tail again, we quickly removed it but by the look of it I think it will lose it’s tail.

    Massive thanks to the lad’s for all the good banter and team work onboard.

    So far we have now caught a total of 216 Skate to 232lb with 26 over the magic 200lb mark!!

    We still have May 15th and 16th available whole boat charter only.
