  • 06/2020 Fishing Report by Kevin McKie on Size Matters (Craobh Haven, Argyll & Bute)

    Jun 2020 by Kevin McKie

    Report on-board Size Matters

    The fishing from Liverpool onboard
    Size Matters continues to be good sport.

    The Tope fishing is just getting started with our best being 44lb, while Tope fishing we are catching 60 to 70 Huss to 14lb 8oz and Rays to 13lb 8oz, there is plenty of Mackerel too.

    The wreck fishing is good with Pollack to 8lb, Ling to 6lb, Coalfish to 5lb and Cod to 5lb, most days while wrecking we are getting 60 to 100 fish but most are only 3lb to 4lb.

    The inshore Bass fishing has been hard going with our best day only catching 12 to 4lb, our biggest problem has been the amount of Smoothies, Rays and Dogfish taking our Bass baits with in minutes of hitting the sea bed, even when live baiting with Whiting the Rays are on to it straight away.

    On Tuesday the dreaded red tide hit Liverpool bay and the fishing was difficult for a few days, thankfully today the red tide has pretty much gone and the fish are back on the feed.

    We would just like to remind our anglers we are fully insured, licensed and legally entitled to operate, we are following government guidelines for social distancing with all PPE requirements onboard for your safety.

    We have a full risk assessment, safety briefing and new charter procedure available to everyone one who has booked a charter with us.

  • 18/06/2020 Fishing Report by Malcolm Collins on Just Mary (Christchurch, Dorset)

    18 Jun 2020 by Malcolm Collins

    Report on-board Just Mary

    Hi All, the trips continue aboard 'Just Mary' from Christchurch with a visit from well known South Coast Angler Steve Preddy being joined onboard by his two sons. We fished a local well known Bream holding reef in Poole Bay and really had to work hard for the fish. Initially we couldn't get through the Pouting for the Black Bream but perseverance and a bit of staying power paid off and so did retaining some of the Pouting for bait in the absence of any Mackerel. We landed some nice 'Blue Boys' Male Black Bream on the ebb before the slack water came. Over slack before the flood started Kiran Preddy hooked and landed a 4lb Turbot, perfect eating size at 45cm, on Bream gear of size 2 hook to paternoster trace on Pouting strip. This fish was quickly followed by a Female Undulate Ray of 15lb2oz by his Father Steve Preddy again on Bream gear and a size no.2 hook with Pouting strip as bait. The Undulate was a welcome bonus on light gear and a classic Daiwa Sea Hunter rod, quickly unhooked, weighed in a net bag on my new scales, photographed and released unharmed as these big Undulates are the breeding stock of future generations. A couple of personal best fish for the Anglers and a sign of things to come onboard for 'Just Mary', now we need the fresh Mackerel in decent numbers and we can target these fish rather than them being 'accidental' catches. We also landed our first red gurnard of the season just to prove that Summer is here. Now we need the weather to settle down and behave after the coming four days of blow and we can get going again for more of the same, thanks, Malc.

    Report on-board Brigand

    We are at the cross over period where it’s possible to catch everything from Bream and Plaice inshore to Brill, Tubrbot, Pollock and Cod Offshore - a spectacular time of year and the biggest decision is choosing which to catch...... a wonderful dilemma.
    Best wishes

    Report on-board SWN Y MOR

    Still under lockdown at moment. But gave the boat a run Tuesday with my son which I,m allowed to do.Between 2 of us caught about 60 cod between 3 and 7 lbs . Loads of pollack and coalfish all returned except two because of very good cod fishing. Matthew caught a large tope on a lure very good fight thought we had broken pollack or cod record when it took. Once you allowed back into Wales get in touch to secure a good tide at very reasonable rates to get catching
    the fish. Cheers Roy 07974477081
