Report on-board Better Days
With spring fast approaching we are kicking off the late winter targeting mainly conger eels on the inshore wrecks along side the rays. We’ve landed eels up to 25lb with some bigger beasts lost. Rays are slower than normal but still picking a few up. As the weather warms up we will start our hound fishing as the rays should also start coming up in numbers once the crab start peeling.2024 Diary is now open and available so please message or call for bookings and inquiry’s

Report on-board Skerry Belle
Looks like spring is coming early and everything is waking up. The inshore wrecks are showing conger and the banks are producing thornbacks, whiting, dabs and decent smoothhounds to crab baits. Certainly a chance of spurs showing in early March and bass and occasional codling will also be showing to lug baits. Remember we operate all through the week and weekends and bookings can be made the night before. Tight lines

Quick review of 0f 2023,
View Boats Page
Well to say the least the weather gods were not with us last spring and summer, but the times we did get out, they were good, we had great caches of targeted species, Pollock and Bass, and Codling, along with Red/Tub Gunard, Wrasse, and 4 other species.
The best fish of the year for Pollock around 10lb, along with 5 other 8 sizeable pollock on the same trip.
The best bass of the year fell to Martin 7lb 9oz on mid surface lure over rock terrain.
we had lots of new crews which were some of the enjoyable moments with smiles lighting up the dull skys with there first ever catches, and our regualr crews who along with loads banter had great days out.
as we look forward to next spring summer , we are doing 6 hour trips during the week in March and April for combined target fish of Bass and Pollock, or anything else that fancies a munch on rubber or metal lures.
family groups are always welcomed on board, so if you have an Xbox fanatic , get them to have break and book a trip out with us,
Lastly,
Thank you to everyone who booked with us and for your understanding in which was a very strange year weather wise. We look forward to welcoming everyone on board in 2024.UPCOMING INDIVIDUAL SPACES ONBOARD Brighton Lure Boat

2024 brigand 1st trip
View Boats Page
First trip of 2024 for ustoday and the target species was Pollock.
Always exciting to be heading out for the first trip of a new season so with a fantastic crew onbaord, full tanks of fuel, a determination to keep our 8 year, 100% catch rate intact we headed South in near perfect conditions.
Water clarity is vital when targetting Pollock with lures and we could see the colour changes from 3 miles away, really stark .......and really positive as inshore clarity was poor to extremely poor.
The first fish aboard was not particularly inspiring, a rather surprised looking Pouting! Then the guys got into it - 3 double figure fish on the bounce with probably the deepest Pollock that we have ever seen expertly boated by Max..... looked more like a Cod with a hugely distended belly, very unusual. A smattering of smaller Pollock in the 4-7lb range as we worked out around the wrecks before heading in before the forecast F5 on the nose kicked in.
All in all, a solid start to the season with a wonderful crew and plenty of valuable intelligence gathered.
Huge thanks to all who fished with us today, was an absolute pleasure sharing time at sea with you all.

An early start for us today in order to get the best of the weather before what looked like a stiff Southwesterly kicked in - turned out to be the right call!

A glorious, if somewhat moody, sunrise greeted us as we headed across the shipping lanes and into deep water in search of Pollock. This time of year can be fickle with the bigger fish generally appearing later in Winter/early spring but we had a fantastic crew aboard, conditions were great and once clarity improved it was looking good.
Fish to the boat from the off and a steady stream of very high quality fish throughout the day. The weather began to deteriorate around midday by which time we were way out to the SW so a very comfy ride in.
Didn't quite manage to get into double figure fish, 9 1/2lb was the best of the day, very respectable for this time of year and my thanks to a wonderful crew, an absolute pleasure fishing with today guys
We will be running more wrecking trips throughout Winter but ONLY when conditions are very good and at very short notice so keep an eye on here for those. This weekend Saturday 2nd and Sunday 3rd looking fantastic weather & tide so we are out both days split into part drifting for Pollock and part anchored for Pollock/Bream/Bass and perhaps even an early Cod. Bait can be supplied upon request
