Went out on Friday me my twin and son on board paddy’s Iona assisted by my brother’s bestie Geordie who spent all day helping him coz he’s fishing dyslexic (all the gear = no idea)
Paddy made everyone feel confident even though there’s not much experience amongst us very knowledgeable as was Geordie gave us novices easy to follow instructions…well me and my son anyway he also takes a genuine interest in each of us
I told him about my wife who loves eating fish and he made fillets out of the pollack for us which we’ve just had for our dinner and tomorrow it’s mackerel on the menu
Needless to say if Carlsberg did charter boat skipper’s they’d definitely choose this one and for that reason Will I Dave! -

Been out today with paddy, geordie, my dad and uncle. Caught plenty mackerel a pollack and some decent ling. Paddy was very knowledgeable and didn’t make us mainly first timers feel like idiots. Some great advice given and a great time had by all.
Skippers Reponse: Cheers matt hopefully catch up again soon

What a cracking fishing day out with Paddy again, two of my friends came all the way from London for fishing and one of them managed to catch two lings and some mackerels. I've managed to catch two codlings as well. Keep it Paddy.

We went out fishing with Iona today, we managed to caught lots of codlings and few mackerels but over all we all enjoyed the day out. Paddy and Kevin are true gentlemen, both of them helped my friends who are new to fishing. We will definitely go fishing with Iona again. Big thank you to you both gentlemen. Keep it up with your good work!!!!!!
Skippers Reponse: Cheers Abdul nice to have you on board
