A window in this very windy weather we have had let us get out the port for the first time since the start of December ! Not the best of conditions for the day wind and tide together the drifts over some of the wrecks was 3 knots + but still produced some nice Pollack all caught on shads redgills sidewinders, so if you want to come fishing I still have some spaces.

Had a great day out , first time out on yellow fin with Kurt. Ran out of bait despite taking a lot , caught 7 cod , dogfish , whiting pouting , Kurt put us right on the mark . Surrounded by other boats not catching anything , everyone on board were into cod. We had action from when he dropped the anchor to when he pulled it up. Lots of hot coffee and soup , couldn't ask for anything more really , thanks Kurt ill be coming back

August has been a good month for fishing inshore and offshore on wrecks and ground fishing marks, on the inshore fishing Plaice bream mackerel gurnards smoothhounds been caught, on the wrecks more fish been caught anchored up with bait, rather than drifting over with lures, Turbot and Brill fishing has been good on one trip just under 30 turbots and 1 brill caught, Paul Walker catching his first Turbot of 9lb 6oz, And Calvin caught his first Brill, so if you want to catch some lovely turbot give me a call and make a booking.
Many Thanks to all our customers.

June was a bit of a windy month but we still managed to get out to some long distance wrecks to catch some fine Pollack, not many cod in june this year but are now starting to show now in july, still lots of good fishing on light tackle on the inshore marks for plaice dabs sole bream and smoothounds. We have been catching lots of Turbot and Brill on live sand eel and on fresh Mackerel , on some new inshore marks. David link had two nice Brill and turbot, Jez thought he had a nice turbot only to find when it got near the boat it was a tshirt full of sand better luck next mate ! Ray caught turbot and was very sporting and let them go after picture taken, Tony Stream caught his first turbot of 8lb . Lots more to catch so give me call to book your spot on Yellowfin.

Went out on a lovely, sunny but breezy evening with Kurt on Yellowfin. The brisk NE breeze meant we had to stay inshore but that didn't stop us catching ! 10 plaice up to 2lb, countless small dabs with a couple of keepers, 2 lovely sizeable bream, a couple of macks, a smoothound, a decent Channel whiting and the obligatory baby pout.
A great evening with a great skipper and we can't wait to get out again. -

Spring is here well at least it was for one day, 5mph wind and birght sunshine all day, so off we went over the horizon to fish some new wrecks no boats to be seen or land, the long steam out payed off with some fine
winter pollack up to 16lb 8oz and some personal best, despite the very small ebb tide the wrecks fished well.
As you can see from the picture big smiles from my customers and some fine fish, caught on long flowing
trace with shads and sidewinders and the good old redgills. -

The wreck fishing season started today with a choppy day out in mid channel, drifting over wrecks with shads and sidewinders, not the best of conditons with wind and tide the drifts overs the wrecks was about 4knots, but the hardened wind swept wet crew still managed to catch some nice plump winter bass and pollack, so the year has got of to a not to bad start, some spaces left on some of my weekend trips,so hurry up before they go.
Tight lines to all. -

First Class Boat. First Class Skipper. First Class Fishing. First Class Day Out!
Last Friday (July 23rd) was our first outing with Kurt, his deck-hand Charlie and
the Yellow Fin Boat. We were a party of five, including my Brother-in-Law from
Canada, who is a lake fisherman, and Chris, our next-door neighbour who has never
slung a hook in his life. If you book this boat (and you'd be a fool not to) take
time to arrive for bacon butties (or more) at the cafe and a visit to the 'Newhaven
Angler' for your bait and lures, where you get a great reception from both shops.
Other supplies are availbale from the convenience store on the same parade. It
really is a 'one-stop shop' for everything you need for a great day out.
Leaving shortly before 8, we had caught our fresh mackerel bait by 9:30 and were on
the way to our first mark. It wasn't long until, thanks to Kurt's expert knowledge
of the area, before we were 'in the fish'. One of the other Lad's, Tim, caught an
amazing 60lb, 7ft long Conger Eel which had us all leaping around the boat once it
was landed and photographed before release to breed another day. It wasn't long
before Rob, from our party, caught a very handsome 35lb Conger and Chris, our
newbie, opened his own sea-fishing account with a respectable Pollack of around 7lb.
I was thrilled to bits to hook my own personal Pollock of around 10lb.
Including a handful of very meaty Bream, our total catch gave us over 50lb of
table-ready fish after gutting and a very enjoyable BBQ was had by all and the WAGS
of the Hunter Gatherers. The party went on long into the small hours and most of the
talk was about booking the Yellow Fin for our next trip.
Don't bother looking for another boat if you're fishing off Newhaven. Kurt Lander
and the Yellow Fin is Numero Uno. It's the tops. End Of.
