    Report on-board Size Matters

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

    The Guernsey Curse Continues!!!
    Our second Guernsey trip of the year has been cancelled due to the strong winds. We have five more Gurnsey trips to do this year so hopefully we get over there at some point.
    The fishing from Plymouth has been fantastic inshore marks we have been catching Ling to 12lb, Pollack to 8lb, Cod to 5lb and Whiting to 3lb. On the offshore marks we have been catching Conger to 66lb, Ling to 33lb, Pollack to 13lb, Coalfish to 8lb, Cod to 5lb and Whiting to 3lb. We are catching more and more cod each trip now, the anglers have hooked some good cod but failed to land them due to tight drags and inexperience. On one Conger trip the Corsair's deep sea fishing club member Gary Whewall from stoke landed Conger of 66lb, 50lb and 45lb on consecutive drops!! It was his first ever Conger fishing trip, Gary listened to my advice on how to hook a Conger in deep water and he reaped the rewards. I have just got my hands on a tide table for 2018 from a fellow skipper and I have started taking booking for next year, we are already 40% full for next season from Plymouth. If you want weekends with good tides or a multi day channel island trip then you need to book soon or you will miss out. Here is a full list of available dates for the rest of this season from Plymouth.
