  • 5-star Gareth Cottrell (25/06/2016)

    3 of us went out on Sat 25 Jun with Dave (9 fishing on the boat). Wind was fresh so the water was a bit lumpy outside the Haven. With this in mind he took us for a bit of jigging for pollock off Freshwater West while the movement was still tolerable. Most caught good sized pollock up to 5-6lb and a good time had by all. The afternoon we went into the Haven and anchored up in smoother waters with the wind freshening. Mostly dogs with a few rays and gurnards to brighten things up. Dave's knowledge and experience made for a great day out, all 3 of us had a really good time and will deffo be returning.

  • 4-star Andy Hirst (12/09/2013)

  • 5-star John Ayres (14/11/2010)

    We have fished all over the UK on many charter boats and Dave and his crewman are two of the most knowledgeable and helpful we have ever fished with. Nothing was too much trouble for them and the fish just kept coming we had four cod from 8-11lb , 6 thornbacks that ranged from 6-9lb and tons of very large whiting and of course the customary dogfish. Top skipper top day thanks again Dave we will be back next month. Forgot to mention the tea (don’t drink it)

  • 03/2020 Fishing Report by David Hancock

    In light of recent developments we feel that as a responsible charter boat it is correct that we suspend taking trips for 6 weeks.
    This is for the safety of our families and possibly yours.
    We will review the situation at the end of April .

    We welcome enquiries and bookings for the summer and autumn.
    Thank you for your understanding at this difficult time.
    Please stay safe and follow the Government guidelines.

    Best regards,
    Dave.

    Plenty of availability after the end of January, please book as early as possible to get the best tides etc.

    We are proudly hosting the Home Internationals at Milford Haven again this year and looking forward to seeing you all for some great trips.

    Unless we have a huge spike in diesel costs the prices of all trips are the same as the last few years. Hopefully there will be no need to increase them .
    If you'd like to know some options for accommodation for sharking trips etc, please call me,

    Tight lines,
    Dave.
