this afternoon's 3hr trip
Finally the fishing picked back up again and the shads and lures worked well for us.
Best fish tonight was a 10lb 6oz Pollock caught by Josh Harris.
Alot of new anglers who have never fished before did really well but they did a expert shore angler with them.
Hopefully we see you all again soon. View Boats Page

Report on-board High Flyer 2
Big tides today water barreling through to start 12 oz just holding in 40ft! Least the sun was out slight south east wind against tide but very fishable. The smoothounds had disappeared today from yesterday only a few small ones not sure why ? Usual whiting thank god giving us something to do. Got boarded by MMO fisheries again not a bad thing keep the wrong people on there toes i suppose. Decided to head out to a bank further north as tide eased paid off with this cracking bass fell to Charlie from Cambridge shade over 8lb. I got a small bass (returned) nothing else from the mark so headed inside for a small thornback and usual whiting until it died again. Slow day but result for Charlie be glad to see the water slow down next week!! Thanks to Mick for organising the lads hope charlie didnt rub it in too much!!!! Cheers Guys. Jon (High Flyer 2)

Big tides this weekend of Sat 3rd August 2019 was slightly worried especially with light easterly, we done exceptionally well i thought with smoothounds from the start, whitting most of the day i know there a pain but it keeps us busy. Moved when tide turned no slack at all to go have a feather, had to move again due to huge strings of weed. Ended up on the mud banks to finish the day with 3 thornbacks all returned really good for the conditions. Big thanks to locals Kev and Jude and Jonathans crew from Boston much appreciated. Picture today of Maggy with her first thornback woman outfishing the boys as usual! Looking forward to our Sep trip. Cheers Guys.

Fishing Report by Kevin McKie
on Size Matters (Craobh Haven, Argyll & Bute)
Aug 2019 by Kevin McKie
Report on-board Size Matters
[This report was written when Size Matters was operating from Plymouth]
From hero to zero in just a week, that’s the life of a charter skipper, we are only as good as our last charter and if last week is anything to go by it’s time to sell the boat ha ha.
After our amazing three day Thresher trip, we had Sefton Sea Anglers with us for a few days, the plan was off shore wrecking.
We thought we knew where there was some quality fish, but after traveling over 200 miles and trying 16 wrecks over the two days we had very little to show for our efforts, just Conger to 30lb, Ling to 15lb and Pollack to 8lb.
Then I had two brothers down from Stoke who book the whole boat each year for sharking.
They managed 11 Blues to 110lb (released in the water) and only boated a few small ones for photos, so it was a welcome boost we needed, well done lads.
Then I had The Ship Fishing Club from the Wirral with me for there annual few days each year.
They wanted to go Wrecking but I advised them it was extremely poor, so we hit the inshore reefs and caught plenty of
Pollock to 7lb, Ling to 16lb, odd Bass to 3lb and odd Cod to 3lb.
At the end of the week I had Heartcliff Sea Anglers onboard for there first sharking trip of the year, conditions where perfect, plenty of bait and chum.
Hopes where very high after our last sharking trip but it was very slow we only managed one small Blue about 35lb.
After speaking to a few other skippers in Plymouth and other ports along the south west coast they where struggling on the sharks too some boats catching up to 5 a day and some none.
What we have noticed is the water is very clear now, all the algae has started to die off and is sinking to the sea bed.
When sharking the deepest rod was getting lots of red slime on the line this is the algae dieing and from passed experience the fish don’t feed to good when this is about.
There is some good news though, the Mackerel have turned up in massive shoals, good size too some over 2lb.
I was even catching them out side the lock gate while waiting for it to open each evening.
I have had family down to visit me and I took them out for an evening mackerel fishing, they all loved it.
If you ever want to get anyone into sea fishing then take them mackerel fishing for the first time.
We caught our first Chub Mackerel this week that’s now 64 species caught on Size Matters so far.
This coming week we had some very serious anglers booked in for our first proper go at some big Conger, the lads where traveling from Ireland, Scotland, Wales and England.
Sadly the weather forecast is terrible so we have had to cancel, the big Conger will have to wait now till the net set of neap tides.
I personally think this bad weather we are going to have this week will do the fishing some good, it will get the sea stirred up and get the fish on the move and feeding again.
We are no fully booked for Plymouth till 2021, massive thanks to everyone who has booked onboard Size Matters, you all know how hard I work and love the job I do.
Thanks
Kevin Mckie
