    Report on-board JFK TWO

    at last a nice settled spell of weather, what a diffrence a nice flat sunny day makes.we headed out the peirs about 7.45 out to a lovely flat sea.
    out to the first wreck and picked up cod and ling from the off as well as a steady supply of mackrel which was used as bait. picked away steady all day with 4inch blue shads and baited daylites [mackrel bait ]. both working equally as good , however as the day wore on bait seemed to have the edge.
    about mid afternoon with several double figured ling and cod aboard. we steamed to the next wreck with slack water not far off, anticapation was high.
    well we wernt disappointed. first drop paul didnt even touch bottom when he shouted ive got something good on, he had to let his star drag off a bit as the fish constantly made dives back to the wreck.and a canny bit later you could see a huge white shape in the crystal clean water some 50 plus feet down.
    up pop a cracking cod, which took the scales over 31 and a half pounds.right round again. next drop again 4-5 rods straight into fish again and paul saying another goodin, bot probaly not quite as good. a very canny 18 pounds ling. and to top it all on the third drift another ling over 12 pounds.3 canny fish on 3 drifts.
    all in all a very good day with a good few double figure cod and ling landed

    Report on-board Bad Boyz VI

    Thanks Guys for a fanatastic day! We chartered the boat for a 10hr trip 2 weeks ago and could not have wished for a more perfect day weather wise, the sea was as flat as a mill pond, and the weather was fantastic. All of us returned with sunburned foreheads!!
    And the fishing was pretty good too. There were only 7 of us that made the trip, but all of us caught fish and 5 of us all caught fish over 10lb. 3 Tope, 18, 28 and 45lb. At least half a dozen spurdog over and around 10lb, and a few Bull Huss again getting on for double figures.
    This was the best boat I have ever chartered, and I can definitely recommend this boat to anyone with all levels of experience from novices to hardened pro's

    Brillinat - thanks again guys!!

    Report on-board Sunbeam III

    Sat 4th August - Half day tide trip- nice bright start at 6:30 went and drifted a few different marks and picked up a few mackerel and a couple of bass too.... Had some returning customers too which is always nice to see.
    Full day drip at 10am took 7 guys out Tope fishing this afternoon lovely flat seas and sunshine too... Got the teas made and no Tope (Very odd... they normally show by now) had the first one around 10 minutes later but unfortunately it spat the bait... not to worry had another run in quick succession seems they are running with the bait and taking their time in eating it... however we landed the first fish which was 30lb and then preceeded to land 3 more... making 4 in total... seems that they are starting to get biger now and most days the bigger fish seem to feed later... biggest today was 43lb... Just waiting for a big female now which normally start showing not long from now... Lovely Fellas hope to see them again some day. Especially Mackerel Mick who's determination for jigging up Mackerel kept us in fresh bait all day - Thanks Fella :)

    Lads Dads and Daughters Day.

    A short 5hr family trip with Mackerel being the main target we were not to be disappointed as there were plenty coming over the rails from the off, the children caught plenty and got very excited .
    The adults managed a few as well :)
    Other species were caught including dabs ,dogs,whiting,tub gurnard and the dreaded weaver.
    All to quick the trip was over and it was time to return back to port with a very tired group of children sat in the wheelhouse on the return trip.
    Many thanks to everybody hope to see you all again soon
    tight lines
    Steve

    Report on-board Sunbeam III

    Full day - 3 people fishing, went and anchored up for Tope after catching some bait and landed 2 nice Tope, bit quieter than usual, again pushed back inside for bass and picked one up which was unfortunately just undersize and had to go back.
    Half day tide trip- full boat- picked up a lot of small mackerel to start with all had to go back very quiet on the big mackerel side of things and no bass showing this evening... Picked up a few bigger ones towards the end of the trip which were shared out equally among the customers so everybody took some fish home.
