    Report on-board Size Matters

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

    The shark fishing from Plymouth is in full swing, if you are booked on with us over the next two months for sharking then you are in for some cracking fishing. Back in March when I was guiding in Norway for Sportquest, on the first week the lads I was guiding where from Manchester they caught loads of Cod to 65lb. Once they knew I could put them on the fish they started asking me about sharking from Plymouth. I told them our best day last year was 54 Sharks in a day, so they booked two days with us. On the first day we left the harbour looking for mackerel and straight away we seen birds working. I stopped the boat told the lads to drop there feathers in and up come strings of school bass about 30 in total. All returned alive, then they started to hit a few mackerel once we got enough for hook baits we where off to our chosen mark. The lads had never been sharking before so it was all new to them. They caught 18 Blues to 64lb, sadly no big ones that day but they had a good time and learned a lot. Next day I decided to try a new area, the lads knew what to do and they caught 24 Blues to 99lb 3oz and one baby Porgie about 10lb. The lads totalled 43 Sharks over two days, that's good fishing anywhere in the UK. The lads have booked a day Conger fishing with us in September, so watch this space.
    If you would like to have ago at sharking then give us a call and we will get you booked on for a fantastic day out.
