Report on-board The Kraken
Fish Dolphins & Fantastic weather
playful
What a stunning day. The weather couldn't have been any better and we had a great crew with us. Yi and has friends first fishing trip was one I hope they wont forget. Plenty of bream joined the party with plenty making the grade for dinner later. These were joined by some good sized mackerel and some small plaice. The most popular guests of the day was the pod of Bottlenose dolphins that followed the boat for 20+ minutes. It was an amazing experience and the two young ones certainly put on a show for us all on board...very playful.
A truly memorable day.

Great to be back out after the recent bad weather and to be joined by Jing, her family and friends. Plenty of fish caught but Bream mainly on the small size released to grow up. A few decent table fish, plaice including this slab of a fish, cuttle and some very decent sized mackerel. Lovely bunch of people on the boat and we were joined by a very friendly pod of dolphins to top the day off.

Report on-board Brigand
TURBOT SEASON IS OPEN !!!!!
Our first trip of the year looking for Turbot on the Offhsore banks and it didn't disappoint!
Bait inshore was hard to come by so we didn't hang around too long and took the chance that we would be ok for it out deep - and so we were. A few drifts and we were stocked up for the day.
First Turbot of the season fell to Andrew Kennedy, a seasoned Turbot angler who has boated very many with us over the years so only fitting that he should kick us off.
A steady stream of fish throughout the day which included more of those excellent Tub Gurnard we have been boating of late, Bass, jumbo mackerel were also present in large numbers and great to see such an abundance of Launce.
Oh - and we had the pleasure of sharing most of the day with a very friendly gull that had the most unusual eyes - one yellow, the other black.... not seen that before!
Tides in July not particularly suited to Turbot but there are a couple of stand-out days and we have added those to our calendar;
Thursday 11th July - 8hr Turbot
Tuesday 23rd July - 8hr Turbot
24th July - 12hr long distance Turbot, Bass & Wrecking.
That will be it for July.
If you would like to join us please get in touch.
Best wishes

Our season is in full swing now, when the weather allows we're out on the banks with some great fishing. Last week was particularly good as not only did we catch plenty of good fish we also hade some superb top water action on the surface lures. Patchinkos are the no1 surface lure, Illex shads are our absolute favourite for general bassing.

A fabulous day out fishing the Offshore wrecks today with an even more fabulous crew!
An early start to get where wanted to fish and we of course had a plan which started with putting the hammer down and heading out far. Water clarity improved by the mile and was perfect when we arrived out our first wreck where the crew were immediately rewarded with good quality fish. Pollock, Cod & Bass all coming to the net in quick succession as the tide kicked in and it was constant action until the time came to catch the tide for the next stop. A real mix of fish coming over the next couple of wrecks including a fantastic 7lb 3oz Tub Gurnard which looked ready to burst skilfully landed by Adam and very sportingly released to (hopefully) have an opportunity to pass on that excellent DNA.
Species count for the day;
Jumbo mackerel (45cm+)
Bass
Cod
Pollock
Coalfish
Bream
Wrasse
Launce
Tub Gurnard
Red Gurnard
Scad
Pouting (of course!)
Whiting
Alex Brown and Simon Clark of course both in the thick of it with Bass, Pollock & Cod but hats off to Adam for gamefully releasing a magnificent fish and for taking the fact that we almost left without him this morning in his stride..... my apologies Adam!
We have very limited availability for these long distance Offshore trips this year but if there is sufficient interest we might be persuaded to lay on a couple more which would be absolutely tide dependent so a little flexibility required.... just let us know if your keen!
Thanks all for a wonderful day on the Ocean and bravo on your catches today ������

Another cracking day Offhsore today with Pollock, Cod, Bass, Herring, Jumbo Mackerel, Scad, Launce, Gurnard and do I have to state the obvious ...those 4" lures are pout magnets ��!!
The stunning start the day with flat seas and sunshine gradually detirorated and led to a slow sail home in a confused sea but the guys were baiting fish right up until the last drift of the day.
Very encouraging to see the Cod (more accurately codling) increasing in numbers and they are not the "Unicorns" some would say they are- we expect numbers to increase steadily over the coming weeks. Also great to see those jumbo Mackerel out there, an often underrated table fish at that size and absolutely fnatstic when smoked or made into pate.
Thanks all for a great day at sea, it's getting better and better as the season gets into full swing Offshore.
