Report on-board Size Matters
[This report was written when Size Matters was operating from Plymouth]
Just finished a 5 day charter to Guernsey, a group of novice anglers booked the boat for a social holiday rather than a fishing holiday.
The wreck's on the way over where pretty quite with just small pollack to 6lb and the odd good fish lost. The first two days in Guernsey we fished the bank's catching turbot to 7lb and brill to 3lb 8oz. The best day we totalled 21 Turbot and 6 brill, no too bad for novice anglers. The forth day we decided to go for black bream on the wrecks and rough ground. There was plenty of small bream to 2lb, pollack to 6lb and gurnard. On the last day we hit the wreck's on the way home catching pollack to 12lb and ling to 18lb. All the lad's enjoyed the trip and have booked for next year, if you would like any info on booking a 3, 4 or 5 day charter to Guernsey next year please give me a call.
Cheers
