As we near the end of April its all about BIG Bream at the moment, Here I am with a 3lb fish taken last week. We're catching loads of Bream at the moment and also we return lots too!!!!
Aswell as Bream we have plenty of Smoothounds moving inshore every day, fish to 15lbs with the large females arriving very soon, together with the Tope! This is a great time of year around here!
As a new boat I do have several really good tides free and available for booking. View Boats Page

"THE WALTONS" - Bill Walton and his small group of friends came out on a specialised trip for plaice and turbot.They were not dissapointed.I set up a drift on the mussel beds and on the first drift four plaice were caught and the same on the next drift this was added by a few more in the next hour including a 5Ib 2oz plaice caught by Bill him self.Bill in fact landed four plaice.Then we drifted the famous Shambles Bank and caught two turbot weighing 11Ib and 9Ib also a cod of 6Ib.So all in all a satisfactory day at the office despite the thick fog that we had to endure all day.Just a special note to a member of the group who did note catch a plaice or a turbot,Fred did well catching dogfish and pout clearing them out the way for the others to catch the flatty's,perhaps it will Fred's turn for the flatty's next time.

Breezy day ,end of season cod fishing , hopes were not high ! How wrong i was, best days cod fishing i've had in years if not ever ! Skipper came up trumps with 4 of us catching 50 + cod upto 10 pounds , and a bonus hard fighting Spurdog weighing in at 15 pounds 8 oz . good quality squid provided by the boat accounted for all the catch and to round it off bacon butties and as much tea as you could drink, what more could you want ! Cant wait for the next trip , looking to target one of those big dogs or hit into some thornies . HAPPY DAYS !!!!
