Boat and Skipper Details
I am in the unique position of being located on the Menai Strait, which gives me the option of fishing both sides of Anglesey which is very useful when faced with different wind directions. It can mean the difference of getting out when others would have to cancel. The Strait itself is a fantastic fishery with many species able to be targeted. It is renowned for its Bass in particular and is very sheltered.
In 2025 I will be doing specialised trips targeting Porbeagle and Thresher shark, these will be whole boat charters or individuals trips with a maximum of six persons. Specialist tackle will be provided if required.
My general trips can cover a wide range of fishing seeing over 40 different species being caught in this area.
Specialist Bass and Tope trips are available for those who love to target these hard fighting sport fish; I for one; encourage to use of light tackle for maximum enjoyment.
I love wrecking and if the weather allows, will be pushing out to sample the many wrecks around this coastline.

I’ve been fishing for as long as I can care to remember and have owned and operated boats for over 30 years.
The pinnacle of my fishing career was to represent Wales at national level and I like to think that I have some knowledge to pass on to anglers that wish to accompany me on my trips.
I’ve previously operated fishing charter boats based out of Conwy and also Beaumaris snd some may have joined me on both Conway Star and Maverick.
I like to look after my anglers and make every effort to put you in the fish. Kettle is always on.

Gail Brandon (04/09/2025)
Went out twice on Isabella Jack. Had 2 fab trips. The Skipper, Dave, managed to get Hubby and I our first ever Bass, we were delighted. Whilst his banter is top notch, his singing needs a little work!! (Just kidding)��. Cannot recommend this charter enough. The Skipper not only saved our fishing holiday in Wales. He helped make it. I'll be booking up for next year.
Skippers Reponse: Hi Gail, it was my pleasure to have you both on board and I was so pleased I was able to help get you both some Bass. I look forward to seeing you next year when we can indulge in some more “name that tune”. Take care my friends.

Christopher Johnson (24/08/2025)
Had an amazing day with Skipper Dave & John! Exciting fishing, dogfish, mackerel, dab, whiting and ended with bass. My 7 year grandson Leo had his first bass just under 3lbs, a fantastic experience! We were looked after and will be back. Highly recommended and worth a trip from the Isle of Wight!
Skippers Reponse: Hi Chris, it was a pleasure having you and your family on board. Despite the challenging afternoon conditions you all fished fantastically and we were rewarded with a few Bass to end the day. Many thanks for your company. I look forward to seeing you next year. Tell Leo, we’re aiming for a double figure next time. Thanks again. ��
