    Me and my brother went out with Matt for the first time this week, never know what to expect with new charters but need not have worried as it turned out to be an excellent day, arrived at first wreck and quickly into bass and pollack, Matt introduced a couple of guys including my brother to slow jigging teaching them how to use the whole set up which none of us had used before, again quickly into the fish with this new technique and catching a some excellent Bass, as the day went on trying different locations finishing with a run of good sized bass, all in all an excellent day with a knowledgeable and friendly skipper, would definately recommend and we have already booked more trips.
    Thanks Matt see you in August

    Once a year myself, my brother and a few good friends travel from various places across the uk and meet with the intention of going on a good fishing trip.
    I came across Silver Halo Charters website and decided to call Matt to discuss the trips he offered. Matt was really helpful and we decided to go ahead and book a full day, complete boat charter for ourselves.
    Our trip was at the end of September so Matt suggested that we targeted bass in Lyme Bay. The day before the trip Matt warned us the conditions may not be ideal as they had been a strong North Easterly but we decided to go ahead...we are all pleased we did!
    The sea was quite lumpy in the morning so we found some more sheltered water to start the day, here we caught several small bass and a nice pollack. The sea settled abit after a couple of hours, so we headed to a wreck Matt had been catching good fish on.
    Once at the wreck things really hotted up with several good bass being caught and released. The average size was around 6lb which is a good fish. We were getting some pretty heavy takes suggesting larger fish were present, then towards the end of the day I managed a great bass of 12lb. A real fish of a life time! It was made even better as it was my first ever time targeting bass!
    Matt really helped us through the day with good advice and hands on help. All the tackle was provided and is of good quality. Silver Halo is a really cracking boat and travels quickly between fishing locations, all in all its a great package and is a big improvement over other charter trips that we have been on. 100% we will return again next year.
    Thanks so much for a great day! 10/10

    Skippers Reponse: Hi Steve, thanks for taking the time to do such a detailed and positive review.
    Saturdays trip was a great example of how rewarding spending a full day fishing at sea can be. Im so chuffed you had a good stamp of fish and the 12lb bass really was the icing on the cake!
    It was a pleasure taking you all out and I look forward to your next trip.
    Thanks again Matt.

    Great day drift fishing livebaits across wrecks. Caught some lovely bass to 6lb 10oz. Neither my brother or I have boat fished for years, and never drift fishing, but Matt was very accommodating and great at putting us on the fish. Recommended without hesitation.

    Skippers Reponse: Thanks Dave it was a pleasure having you and James onboard. A great day given the tides and wind werent quite in our favor.
    I look forward to getting you back out there soon,
    Cheers Matt
