    Fantastic day on Plan B can’t recommend them enough, Sam and Ian are super knowledgeable and helpful they not afraid to change things up to give you the best chance of catching something!
    Will be back with the family for a winter session soon. Thank you for a cracking day.

    Skippers Reponse: It was a pleasure, what a great day over 60 Bass, then a bonus, saw dolphins on the way in. Good banter all day. Looking forward to seeing you all again. IAN

  • 5-star Stephen Homan (29/05/2021)

    Been on several trips with Sam . As an individual this is the ideal skipper he will take your details phone round and fix you up with a trip with other like fishermen.
    Small crews will also suit normally 6 max.
    i have fished with 5 on and everyone was able to fish 2 rods each comfortably.
    Currently excellent skate being caught average weight is around ten ponds. decent bass just starting to show in reasonable numbers. together with smoothound which always produce grreat sport.
    whether the fishing is good great or excellent the day is always enjoyable due to the non stop banter.
    Sam is great fun and a good skipper

    Went out this weekend with Sam and the bass were nearly jumping on deck, quite a few schoolies but even more keepers. All of us took home a good size keeper from around 4lb up to 7lb and returned the rest for another day. Great weather, great company and a great skipper. I hope to be back soon.

    Hoping this cold snap will bring with it the elusive cod. Some nice doggies and an occasional Bass and Thornback along with the whiting at the moment. Most taken on worm.
