Report on-board High Flyer 2
Bringing us up to date this last bank holiday weekend saw few small coddling and odd doggy turning up. Beginning of April can be a funny start we hopefully should have seen last of the frosts now things starting to warm up. The weather has been so unpredictable with snow and now heavy rain all weekend! The spotty dogs will move in now followed by the skate so now freezing down fresh herring injected with various oils for next few months bait. we havent bothered mentioning bass as unfortunately no point in going to the marks it does cause trouble with certain people not understanding that we cant keep them. No charter vessel makes the rules we just have to abide by them so no point in giving the skipper a hard time its not his fault. Good idea to look back through our years of photos here on this site and you can gauge the times different species turn up the only difference this year is we could get a spring coddling run and i hope we do but has avoided us for last few years so fingers crossed. Picture here of new A4 flyer we put in the shops etc if you would like one just email address willpost out to you state laminated if you so wish. Hope to see you soon on High Flyer 2 it can only get better!!!! Jon

Report on-board Shy-Torque III
13.04.2018.
Unbelievably crappy weather for this years Spring competition which started last weekend. We managed to get last Saturday, Sunday & Monday sailing on some lovely "flat calmers"
Since then, nothing but Easterlys with no-one moving anywhere.
We managed a couple of daily prize winners last weekend. A 1st and a 2nd which was ok. Both winners were pollack. One just over 7 lb caught by Adrian Smethurst from Huddersfield and the other just over 8lb caught by Tony Kingsley from Morcambe.
We are attempting tomorrow and hopefully we'll come across something to take over the leading fish which is a ling around 11 lbs .
We still have room on a couple of days next week and will sail with just 4 anglers.
Tony Kingsley is pictured inset.

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

Report on-board Size Matters
If you are interested in fishing from the West Coast of Scotland, then this is well worth a read.
We have now finished our 16 day trip to Scotland for Giant Skate, it’s been one hell of a trip.
We managed 113 Common Skate to 220lb, total weight was 19361lb, with and average weight of 171lb 3oz.
11 of them where over 200lb and 91 of them over 100lb!
We caught Skate every day and out of 96 anglers who fished with us, only one angler never caught a Skate.
If that wasn’t good enough we also caught one White Skate estimated at 160lb!!!
More than twice the size of the UK record for this species of Skate!
This was one hell of an achievement considering Kevin had never caught a Common Skate or fished for them before this trip.
Some of the highlights of the trip was seeing the first ever Common Skate caught onboard Size Matters!
Seeing the first ever White Skate caught onboard Size Matters and at more than twice the size of the current UK record.
Watching Jon Pattern fight a monster Common Skate on a 20lb to 30lb class rod and reel in 477ft of water with only a 4/0 hook intended for a black mouth Dogfish!
Having Dave Lewis onboard doing an article for Sea Angler Magazine about this adventure!
Also seeing John Mcbride land our 100th Common Skate of the trip!
Most of the anglers had never caught a Skate before the trip and most of them landed there biggest fish ever!
Over the 16 days Kevin’s anglers spent over £6000 on accommodation, food, drink at the marina and local pub.
Kevin also spent £2400 on fuel and mooring fees, if this is not a good thing for a small Scottish village at this time of year I don’t know what is.
Please note all Skate where returned unharmed and treated with the up most respected.
Next year we are looking forward to working very closely with the Scottish Heritage to tag all skate for conservation.
In 2019 Kevin has already had over 60 whole boat bookings to do this trip again, he will be in Scotland from mid March till the end of May.
But if he gets enough interest he will offer Reefing, Wrecking and Sharking trips up to 60 miles out from Scotland through the Summer of 2019.
He would love nothing more than to anchor the off shore wrecks for Conger and Ling, just like he does from Plymouth with great susses.
He would also like to do week long charters out to the Island of Barra, to fish the continental shelf in over 1000ft of water 50 miles off the coast.
This type of trip would be ideal for a small group of anglers who want to catch something very special.
If there is one boat capable of doing trips like this it’s Size Matters, she can carry enough fuel for a 450 mile round trip, and is fully coded and insured for up to 23 hour charters.
Kevin can also help with booking self catering cottages at the marina, they are £125 per night, sleep 6 and are very nice.
If that hasn’t wet your appetite for the West Coast of Scotland in 2019 I don’t know what will.
Check out Kevin’s Facebook profile for all photos and videos from this trip to Scotland.
Roll on 2019 because,
SIZE REALLY DOES MATTER!!
Thanks
