Derek from hartlepool booked the boat for 2 days pollack fishing(17 & 18 august) and werent disappointed.
mackerel were prolific on the headlands and as we had no ragworm,this was the preferred bait.sandeel was floatfished with no success except 3 snapoffs....artificials took some fish but freelined mackerel belly was the best method accounting for the 2 best fish (10.5lb and 7lb) and they both came from the harbour entrance...some 30 fish on day one averaging 3-4lb,day 2 slightly smaller but still as hungry!!

Report on-board Size Matters
[This report was written when Size Matters was operating from Plymouth]
During the last week we have had some big catches of conger and ling, on the best day we totalled 55 conger to 84lb and 15 Ling to 33lb. On other day's the ling where so thick on the ground they out numbered the conger! The cod and pollack fishing has slowed with just odd pollack to 18lb and cod to 10lb. One of our regular anglers Dave Gicquel had a cracking day, first drop he landed a conger of 84lb, on the next drop he landed a 22lb Ling and on his third drop caught a 61lb conger! On the same day another angler called Peter Kay who had not been fishing for 30 year's landed his first conger then next drop landed a 33lb ling! The following day I had a group of anglers onboard from Nottingham, the day started off very slow but when the tide finally started to run they landed 26 Ling to 20lb and 22 conger to 83lb, all in the last two hours of the day. Alan Booth caught the 83lb conger and wanted to get an accurate weight on the conger, as it was close to a club record and on the boat it's quite hard to weigh a big conger in a sack with a bit of sea running. So we decided to empty the fish bin and put the deck hose in it and keep the conger alive to weigh at the fish quay. When we got back the conger was very lively we managed to weigh it then let it go in Sutton Harbour, so if you fancy catching the British shore record conger you know where to fish!
I best mention I have had my girlfriend onboard a few times over the last week, apart from talking everyone to death she caught conger to 25lb and ling to 13lb not a bad effort in 280ft of water.
If you fancy getting in on the action then give me a call or text on 07999628511.
Cheers
