About the Skipper:

48yr old and a member of the professional boatmans association. Fully licensed and insured.
Passionate about fishing as caught my first fish a plaice from the beach at the age of 4.
Owned many boats over the years and decided to follow my dreams of becoming a charter skipper myself, i have always listened and taken advice from many skippers over the the last 25+years, some say do it some say dont.
Well since all this covid i have decided there is nothing to lose.
Purchased the offshore 32 with its new iveco engine in February 2021.
Putting it to work from August 2021 from poole quay.
Thanks for looking

    Well flat calm today 18th may, was supposed to have rain most the day off the Dorset coast around poole.
    Well we decided to go regardless as the sea would be calm.
    Had probably 2 showers in the morning and then the sun came out.
    Firstly we went and fished for mackerel for fresh bait, after getting more than enough and some for the table we headed off to find the Bass. Couldn't go wrong today as the bass nailed the live baits.
    Well lets see what tomorrow holds as hopefully same as today but as they say no day is the same.
    Well fished to my crew and look forward to seeing you all again soon.
    My two keepers for the table and family.

    22 Jan 2023 by Malcolm nightingale

    Well not a bad day on Chopsea charters with a gentle south easterly wind and bitterly cold, the regular crew done very well to be fair and as these guys generally fish catch and release, 95% of the fish got returned.
    Nothing huge but apart from the last hour the catch rate was good all day to keep everyone occupied.
    Total fish landed was 73
    Mostly whiting and dogfish, small eyed ray, a pout ,few poor cod and a decent plaice.
    Well done boys.
    See you next time
    Malcolm
