    Report on-board Size Matters

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

    Just got back from another Guernsey trip, the plan was to fish 3 days but the weather had other ideas.

    So I suggested to the lads we do 2 very long days fishing and then just steam home on the 3rd day when the weather not ideal for fishing.

    All the lads where well up for it so I decided to fish a few marks I have never been to before, this turned out to be a very wise move.

    We where straight into Pollack to 16lb,
    Ling to 20lb 8oz, Cod to 5lb and Coalfish to 5lb. All the lads onboard caught there PB Pollack and Ling.

    On the second day we decided to go for Bream first then have ago for Turbot.
    Mackerel was hard to find but we just got enough for bait.

    There was plenty of Bream about but all small, then we had ago for Turbot.
    The first mark was very slow with just one small Turbot caught.

    Then we moved to another other mark every drift the lads where catching Dogfish, things where not looking good.

    Time for another move then it was third time lucky, first drift bingo a cracking Turbot
    of 12lb 4oz for 66 year old Brain Bridger.

    Brian’s son Steve had booked the trip for his Dad over a year ago, Steve told me on the phone my dad has never caught a Turbot before that’s why we wanted to give Guernsey ago.

    We are now fully booked for the rest of 2018 from Plymouth.

    If you are interested in booking a trip with us in 2019 from Plymouth we only have 8 days available.

    We have now started taking bookings for 2020 Summer season from Plymouth.

    Thanks
