What a strange day. We cast-off in the midst of a snow shower under heavy skies and ended the day in the gentlest of breezes with the Sun on our back ..... and experienced everything in between! Wind was stronger than forecast offshore and with a big tide that just amplified the sea state, so for a while it was difficult fishing and rewards were just not worth the challenging conditions. A change of plan, course alteration and we were in business! Always great to see anglers battling doubles and we had 3 or 4 of those today, also dropped a couple but we will pick them up on Thursday��
Paul and Andrew picked up last minute places aboard today’s trip and both landed double figure fish, think Paul had a couple.
Crew, well what can I say, all lovely chaps and a huge thank you for your company today, always lovely to catch-up with those that fish regularly with us and I’m sure we will be seeing more of Paul & David in future.
Highlight of the day....... The fantastic doubles and of course Bob’s Bakewell tarts!!
We have 1 space available this Thursday for wrecking so if would like a go at these hard fighting Pollock on the offshore wrecks just get in touch.
Best Wishes

Another stunning day out on the water today with a wonderful crew. Conditions were as predicted and the very early start certainly paid dividends with a steady stream of good quality fish coming to the net. A little quiet over slack but as ebb kicked in we were off again.
Thanks to the crew for the great company and the artisan food which was absolutely delicious.
Best wishes

Great to blow the cobwebs away and get out onto the wrecks. Some fantastic fishing with Pollock to 15lb. A combination of the seasonal change and weather means that realistically we probably have another 5 trips to target fish of this quality before moving onto Bream and then Turbot.
If you would like to join us please get in touch and we will do our best to accommodate.

Made the most of a narrow weather window and headed offshore today to target some flatties. A fantastic group of anglers onboard who managed the conditions admirably. Pete led the way with a personal tally of 9 Turbot & Brill - excellent angling by a bloody nice bloke��.
Sarron Ward left things late to boat a beautiful Brill and Damien Gary Marc Pantony got things together to land a steady stream of fish including 2 lovely Turbot.
Heavy weather forecast for the next week so unlikely we will be getting out...... sooo frustrating!
Our 2021 dates are now loaded and we have a new booking system coming online later this week which, I hope, will make the booking process easier and quicker with reduced burden my end so please keep an eye out for that.

Another cracking day out here aboard Brigand with a nice of mix of Bass, Pollock, Codling, Gurnard, our jumbo Mackerel and of course Turbot. Fozzie was top rod today with 4 Turbot which included this beautiful 9lb 8oz specimen���� Fozzie.
With fishing like this I might just be tempted to lay on another trip this Friday.

An interesting week before wind stopped play - the banks have started to come alive and plenty of variety out there, best day we boated 14 Turbot, also lost the biggest Tub Gurnard we have ever seen at the net (est. at around 7lb) and the first ever Monkfish we have landed. Only a tiddler and safety returned but great to see such a unique fish. Our jumbo Mackerel have been present in numbers, 45cm has not been unusual on last weeks trips and at that size a tremendous fish for the table.
We have had to cancel our plans to fish our way over to France this weekEnd but still have 3 more scheduled for 2020 so fingers crossed Weather will be kinder to us on those. -

Super day out in the Channel again today. Slated as a Turbot day but conditions really not suited. We did have a small window and managed to bag a couple of Flatties off the bank in the hour set aside - the rest of the day was all about wrecking. Some more beautiful Cod and Pollock and decent size Tub and Bass as a bonus.
Great bunch of guys who made the day fly past.

Yet another stunning day out in the Channel with yet another great bunch of guys.
Nigel Holt was king of wrecks with 7 good Pollock and a Cod to go with his Turbot and Colin topped the Turbot stakes with 3 to go with his Pollock.
We’re spoilt for choice on the fishing front currently and we decided that we would try a bit of Turbot with our wrecking. All target species captured and the Mackerel are also proving much more reliable with strings coming up thick and fast.
A real pleasure fishing with limited numbers and great to see such a great variety of high quality Summer fish.
