    Report on-board Size Matters

    [This report was written when Size Matters was operating from Plymouth]

    After our second Guernsey trip just over a week ago we have been flat out with charters from Plymouth.

    The fishing has been very mixed with the best fishing being inshore due to the massive algae bloom off shore.

    This has made the shark fishing very difficult to say the least, we had our first 23 hour sharking trip of the year and steamed out to a mark that has been very good in the pasted.

    As we arrived at first light the water visibility was terrible 2ft to 3ft at best, so we advised the lads to head closer to shore to find clear water.

    After a few more hours steaming we found clear water and only managed 5 Blues to 60lb.

    On the inshore marks when drifting with lures and live baits we have been catching 40 to 70 pollack per trip most are 4lb to 8lb with a few a few to just over 13lb.

    We have also been catching Ling to 14lb, odd Coalfish to 10lb and plenty of decent Whiting over 2lb with the odd one pushing 4lb.

    The Conger fishing has been very slow with only 20 to 30 eels to 25lb being caught in the first few hours then it goes dead and the boat hasn’t moved position at all, weather this has something to do with the algae bloom is anyone’s guess.

    We have been getting lots of inquiries for whole boat charters and individual places, we are fully booked for the rest of this year from Plymouth.

    2020 from Plymouth we have no whole boat dates available and only a few Individual places available.

    We have now started taking bookings for 2021 so if you want a whole boat booking then you need to book now for 2021.

    INDIVIDUALS PLYMOUTH 2020.
