    Excellent skipper! Very experienced and friendly. Highly recommended!
    Thank you John for such a wonderful fishing trip and all your support during the day. Regardless the fact that conditions were difficult you still have managed to find fish a few times and finish the day with the bang! Well done!

  • 5-star Dan Wallace (12/06/2023)

    Cannot recommend John highly enough, he is a great skipper with extensive knowledge of the area and species, me and some friends had an excellent day with John catching 11 species on the day includes cuckoo wrasse, bailons wrasse, conger, black bream and several tope to 45lb! Thanks again for a great day John.

    What a great days fishing with John Little on the Manx Belle. Johns knowledge and experience ensured we all had good catches, even the beginners. 60 fish in the boat with 9 species including Tope, Bass, Ray and Smooth Hound. Dave the hand was a real trouper providing loads of tea and coffee and helping out with tackle and baiting up. I can't recommend John more highly, the boat is spacious, the equipment is modern and the welcome if warm and friendly. Well done John and thanks.
