    Report on-board Size Matters

    We are delighted to announce we have caught the first ever Blue Skate in Scottish waters on rod and line all 22lb if it (43 inch x 30 inch).

    The lucky angler was Bert Willams from the Wirral Merseyside.

    This now puts Size Matters on all three species of giant Skate in Scottish/UK waters, SMASHED IT!!!

    We have had some very good weather over the last week and on some of the days we ventured over 30 miles out side the Marine Protection Area.

    All the marks produced Skate, Spurs, Blackmouth Dogfish and Dogfish.

    We fished in depths from 180ft to 850ft, trying all manor of baits and tactics.

    We now have 9 new locations that produce Skate, when we get the weather and anglers are willing to go exploring then we are more than happy to do it.

    Even when fishing areas that are new to us we have still managed to keep our record with no blanks and all anglers catching Skate.

    Biggest Skate over the last week was 216lb caught by Tony Sulcas and it was his first ever Skate!!

    This takes our total to 251 Skate for the season so far with 31 over the magic 200lb mark!!

    We still have May 15th and 16th available whole boat charter only.
