    Report on-board Size Matters

    The fishing this week has been extremely good and extremely bad.

    On one of the days we managed to catch 32 Skate to 208lb! With 2 over 200lb, 13 over 100lb, total weight was 3219lb with an average weight of over 100lb!!!

    On that day we had our first quadruple skate hook up and three triple skate hook ups, it could possibly be the most Common Skate caught in one day ever!!!

    Louis Cooper from Kent had the biggest Skate of 208lb, followed by Nigel Mclouchlin from Reading with a Skate of 205lb, this was Nigel’s first ever Skate!

    Then when the weather has not been in our favour we have had to fish sheltered marks catching only one to four Skate per trip.

    On another day the weather was much better so we went back to our honey hole and we managed 19 Skate to 202lb, 1 over 200lb and 9 over 100lb.

    The biggest Skate went to Dan Dixson from Manchester with a 202lb Skate that was his first ever Skate.

    At the moment putting the miles in and finding new marks is paying off big time.

    As we move into May we will start to target the off shore wrecks, reefs, banks and deep holes.

    There are some very keen lads booked on with us who are hoping to get good weather, so they can get the chance to target even bigger things than Skate.

    This takes our total to 351 Skate for the season so far with 39 over the magic 200lb mark!

    We have still managed to have no blank days but sadly after catching 300 Skate we had four lads who never managed to catch Skate on the days they where fishing with us.

    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.
