Report on-board Brigand
The last two days we have had the pleasure of Julian and his crew. Great bunch of guys who have been regulars since their first trip to France with us. These two days had been pencilled in as a French trip but a combination of Brexit & Covid meant that was not viable so we headed out far for more Bass action….. and it was predictably crazy!
9 fish on some drifts, double hook-up’s on the jig assist hooks of both mackerel and Bass, the action was non-stop. Getting through the smaller fish was a struggle at times, plagued by 3-4lb fish but they managed to get the bigger ones in the end.
We struggled for bait at times as the Bass were nailing feathers so we moved away only to hit shoal after shoal of massive mackerel and let me tell you a 2lb mackerel puts up a fair scrap!
Two long, tiring but fantastic days with wonderful crew and stunning fish……. Just about perfect��

So ……. another fantastic crew and another day of Bass chaos, monster mackerel and multiple hook-ups!
Today was slated as a Turbot trip but I gave the chaps a heads up to be prepared to alter plans. A short pow-wow in the morning, tank full of fuel and a football match to get back for the decision was unanimous - gun it out for the Bass.
Most anglers will never have experienced fishing like this and I was delighted that a consensus was reached so quickly.
Hit the mark bang on time, set the boat up for the drift and we we’re off straight away - 14 good fish on the first drift in a little under 10 minutes …. And that was just the start! Tally for the the day, 72 keeper sized Bass in a little over 90 minutes! Some anglers wanted bigger fish, some returned those over 5lbs, it’s a personal choice and the crew were very responsible in handling fish to be returned…. Well done guys.
Once Bass quota was reached we turned to those
Monster mackerel and we’re not disappointed - again more fish around the 2lb mark and lots of medium sized fish around 1 1/2lb and once again gratifying that the crew only wanted to keep 2-3 each when they could have taken dozens.
Our day was almost done but just enough time to boat a couple of Turbot to round off another outstanding day.
Thanks all for an excellent day at sea, if the England football guys perform as well as you did today we will be in for a treat��

Report on-board Brigand
Another long day at Sea for us today targeting Bass & Flatties with Dave and his regular crew of fabulous guys- always look forward to catching-up with these chaps.
We have been doing really well on the Bass of late so offered them the chance to do both Bass and Flatties in the same trip. There is a risk that when you take on multiple species on the same trip that you may end up doing both badly and it is often better to focus on just the one…….. but they didn’t have that problem!
Bass fishing was slightly slower than previous trips but still plenty of excellent fishing and the job was done with time to spare and a couple of decent Tub Gurnard as a bonus.
Plenty of big mackerel around so we nabbed a few of them before setting our sights on the flatties. Deano couldn’t put a foot wrong boating Brill & Turbot including a clonker right at the end.
Another glorious day to be far out on the Ocean, a few sunburned faces and plenty of smiles all around.
Thank you Dave & Co for a wonderful day and well done on your fine multi-species haul����
Very few places left for this year I’m afraid but there are a couple of spots available if you would like to experience a fishing day like this drop us a line��

Well what a day! Headed out on one of our long distance trips today to an area we usually fish on our French trips and which has never failed to throw up excellent fish when conditions permit - today’s crew hit the Bass Jackpot! I’ve never seen so many, good quality fish in such high numbers. At times the chaps were pulling up strings of 6lb Bass on feathers 3 at a time, and they were the smaller ones………..it was absolutely insane fishing!
Great company, great fishing and now I’m in need of some sleep!
