Well, I'll try to keep this short. 7 lads, 6 of which have never fished and 4 are deaf.
We all caught plenty of fish, and Colin was excellent at putting us on the fish and had loads of patients with the lads who had no idea.
He showed them how to set up and bait up.I set out to catch a conger as I never have had one, with coloins help I achieved this, plus a monster that got away (it must have been 70lb aye Colin :-) . In all seriousness, a top boat top skipper and will be booking again so brush up on your sign language Colin!
Reef fishing, 8 species caught. Highly recommended! Listen to him and you'll not go wrong. Get your trip booked with him.
A big thanks from Steve the lads and the orangutan. -

WEST COUNTRY TRIP 20-24 MAY.Trevor Pegg wrote - This was my first experience of Colin,s West Country trip which started with us sailing from Weymouth to our base in Dartmouth picking up some wrecking along the way. With good weather, the following day was ideal for drifting for plaice which saw over 40 fish to the boat. A great bonus is not having to drive long distances after a day,s fishing and the social side with good company is excellent. A good variety of fish were caught with ling to 20lbs and a couple of "firsts" for me. As ever you need to be lucky with the weather but this really is a trip with a difference and to be recommended. Thanks Colin for all your efforts to keep us on fish.
Skippers Reponse: Thanks Trevor, I am glad you enjoyed the West Country Trip and hope you book on again next year.
