We took a long trip today to get to our fishing spot today, we steamed for about 1 3/4 hours to get there and we weren't disappointed. First mackerel was on board thanks to Ross within the time it took to drop his feathers over the side. The first one was then followed by at least 3-4 hundred more. One of the anglers just fished for mackerel, when the skipper Karl had had enough of gutting his fish for him he had 27lb of mackerel and there was still 1/4 of his bucket to go. We had novice anglers on with us today who had a great time pulling mackerel,tub and red gurnard,doggies,whiting and flatties all day.

The wind stayed away for our first trip in a week. Didn't start too well with a complete blank on our mackerel hunt to start the day. So off we went further out to find them and we did, not a great deal of them around but plenty for our next planned stop looking for bull hus and smoothies. We Also caught tub gurnard weaver and doggies. So off we went to find them.
First cast out got a nice 6lb tope followed by decent sized tope,and smoothies and a nice 8lb 9 bull Huss.
Young Charlie on his first ever boat trip caught his first tope and was sooo happy to get a "shark".
Everyone caught everyone had a laugh and a good day was had by all. -

FINALLY the wind (we thought) had dropped so we were off to sea. We dropped the hook surrounded by charter boats. We settled into a mackerel fest with over 30 caught by me alone. Doggies and hounds landed along with a few surprises including the scary weaver fish with his poisonous spine and a type gurnard. With the wind and swell getting up we went for some protection from the wind and to look for some smoothies and tope. It was like a tope nursery with tope pups into double figures caught. Doggies,small rays,whiting and a nice 6lb smooth hound caught by the skipper. Fish of the day was definitely a 10.3lb smoothound caught my me.

Sunday only five of us went ray bashing and we're not disappointed catching 20 in the first 2 hours. We also caught cod and whiting.
We pulled the hook after a great start and 33 fish and took a short steam to the next spot which got off to a quick start. A decent doggie landed 5 minutes in with a steady stream of doggies to follow. Hounds and flatties everywhere. Another decent day with 63 caught and the biggest fish cash prize went to the skipper with 6.5lb thornback ray.

What an amazing weekends fishing
the boys from the jaguar plant started the weekend off with a bang catching TWELVE different species bagging a total of 96.
With the sun shining, the wind non existent, and the sea like glass we dropped anchor at the first mark and it didn't disappoint. We obviously caught doggies, we also caught bull hus,smoothies,tope,plaice,dabs,tub gurnard,starry smoothies,whiting, and thorn back rays.
Following an amazing morning we pulled the hook and steamed to hunt for mackerel. Once we had shaken off the seal following the boat we dropped anchor and settled into an afternoon of steady tight lines with everything we had caught earlier and a first for wave dancer a herring was landed. Mackerel were caught all around the boat including 14 year old josh who had told the skipper he had never fished for mackerel before as he pulled in a string of three followed by four more on his next cast. I think he is hooked now as he kept asking his dad when he could go for mackerel again.
Just to top the day off porpoises were spotted on our way home in Liverpool bay.
The biggest fish cash prize went to Alex who caught a 9.5lb bull hus. -

Sunday 4th WHAT A DAY probably my best days fishing so far. We started slowly with one 5lb ray in the first hour. The following 3 hours was the most prolific ray fest I have ever had,56 rays were caught from 1lb babies to the biggest 7.6lb and 1 whiting. We asked the anglers if they fancied a move and go for some smoothies, reluctantly they agreed so on we steamed. At he next mark the inevitable dog fish was soon caught followed by a 3.5lb smooth hound and his bigger brother at 7.5lb. Next on board we had a 4lb tope and a small plaice, a steady precession of smoothies,tope and starry smooth hounds followed. We caught 53 fish caught and the day at an end. As we called the day and the anglers were reeling in there lines we were all working out who had won the cash prize for first,most and biggest when jimmy shouted fish on. As the biggest fish winner I waited to see what had made his line go tight when mick also shouted fish on. After a small fight Mick landed his 5lb tope which worried me as jimmy was still fighting his fish. Following a decent fight Jimmy shouted for the net. As my heart sank he hoisted a 10.4lb starry smooth hound. What a great way to end a fantastic days fishing. Well done jimmy for not only landing a magnificent starry smooth hound but also snatching the biggest fish prize for the day.

Saturday 3rd went on a doggie hunt for this trip and we were not disappointed. Out the Irish Sea in what can only be described as a rollercoaster of a start due to big winds and rolling sea.
First doggie on board in under 10 minutes followed by 50 more in over three hours, we also caught lots of herring,flatties and a couple of whiting.
We pulled the hook and went for some shelter from the wind for the second half of the trip and found tope, smoithies and a couple of small rays.
