    Report on-board Size Matters

    It’s been great to have sometime off with the family lately, even got chance to let Indie-Rose have ago of the boat for the first time, she is a natural Skipper ha ha.

    The fishing continues to be good, catching up to 12 Skate per day, biggest has been 213lb caught by Damian Owens from the Wirral.

    Top rod goes to 84 year old Malcolme Metcalfe from Preston he caught three Skate the biggest 182lb in 640ft of water!

    His biggest fish before the skate was a 70lb blues shark he caught 30 years ago, I hope I am still fishing at his age well done Malcolme.

    This just goes to show how good Shimano fishing tackle is and top quality black magic harnesses.

    On some days lads have wanted to catch just one Skate each then target Blackmouth Dogfish and Spurs for different species hunts they are involved in on Facebook.

    With the weather being so good we have been out trying new marks again, some of these marks have produced lots of male Skate, sometimes up to 8 males a day, we normally only get the odd male Skate here and there so it’s a very welcoming sign.

    This takes our total to 294 Skate for the season so far with 36 over the magic 200lb mark!

    We have still managed to have no blank days and everyone has caught Skate, not sure how much longer this will last but we are feeling very lucky so far.

    Sadly we are fully booked but if you want to get in on the action give Buoy Alba Charters a call on 07854 888293 and Davie will put you on the Skate.
