Good numbers of Plaice still being caught off the Skerries Banks, wreck fishing is still proving to be lean due to the water teperature, May bloom and lack of bait fish this should soon change with the warmer weather.

October has produced some good catches of Pollack on the inshore wrecks with Cod and Bass also making a show on the occasional trip. Sprats are abundant and are the reason that the bigger fish have now started to move onto the inner wrecks.
It's good to have some upbeat anglers making bookings for next year (2013) already. Torbay Fishing Festival was interesting this year with good numbers of Black Bream showing and winning the top prize this year.
Our diary is now available for 2013 bookings, I look forward to help you choose your tides and dates.

A good spell of sunny and settled weather in recent days has allowed us to get out onto the local reefs and banks.
Friday 22nd April we took out a local group of farmers and sons, some who had never stepped foot on a boat before. After a session of Mackerel catching the lads became fairly confident in rod handling so we ventured down to a reef for a spot of species hunting.
Species caught were:
Bull Huss
Dog Fish
Female Cuckoo Wrasse (returned Alive)
Pout whiting
Mackerel
Herring
Allice Shad (returned alive)
Red Gurnard -

Sunday 1 st August produced 10 species of fish from the local banks and reefs from Berry Head down to the mouth of Dartmouth.
Most anglers were inexperienced but all enjoyed the thrill of catching fish they have not seen before.
Thanks to all who were aboard 'Kelly's Hero' some pictures have been uploaded. -

Managed to get in a 4 hour trip yesterday 30th December for 5 lads holidaying in Brixham for the festive season.
This is the first trip we have managed to get out on the sea for any length of time for weeks! Easterly winds give the Torbay area a problem and the wind has been easterly on and off for quite a few weeks.
Fishing was restricted to local inshore reefs due to the remnants of the previous couple of days swell and the forecast of another strengthening NE !
We did however manage to get amongst some good sized Whiting and filled up with enough fish for everyone to have several meals. A few poor cod added to species.
It was just nice to get out on the sea again.
Now taking booking for 2010, if you book four trips for the year a 10% reduction will apply.
Best new year wishes to all new and old customers for 2010 Dave. -
