    Report on-board Size Matters

    [This report was written when Size Matters was operating from Plymouth]

    About six months ago I got a call from my old match fishing mate Joe Perry from Liverpool, he said my 11 year old son Jamie is obsessed with sharks and would love to catch one. Well the time had come to try and catch him the fish of his dreams. On the first day lads caught 13 Blue sharks to 70lb, the biggest being caught by Jamie and it was his first ever shark.
    The next day we went for Blonde rays and Conger, the best ray went 19lb 8oz and the best Conger just over 30lb.
    The best thing was seeing 11 year old Jamie catch his first ever Shark, Conger and Blonde ray. The memories he has got from the two days will live with him forever ever, it's a shame more kids don't try fishing instead of sitting in front of a computer playing video games.
    If you have kids and would like to give them an experience that they will talk about for a life time then give us a call. If you book the boat and let me know you are bringing kids, we will cater specifically to there needs.

    Report on-board Size Matters

    [This report was written when Size Matters was operating from Plymouth]

    August has been very good so far onboard Size Matters from Plymouth, we have been catching Conger to 70lb, Ling to 26lb and Pollack to 9lb.
    On one trip we set off at midnight yes midnight, to give the lads the best chance of fishing tide and wind together so I could anchor a wreck for a chance of some big Conger. The lads fished hard and caught 47 Conger to 70lb, 8 Ling to 17lb, 4 Blue shark to 80lb and a 30lb Porgie.
    All on Conger traces no wire, the biggest Blue Shark was caught on the bottom fishing for Conger. Most days when anchoring the wrecks we are catching 40 to 50 Conger and Ling.
    The Pollack and Cod fishing has slowed down but things should pick up in the next set of spring tides. For the next two months we have a lot of Sharking and Conger trips booked so watch this space you mite just see a few big ones being caught.

    Report on-board Brigand

    Been a while since we have been out and very pleased to report that we picked up where we had left off with Turbot all the way! Just 7 anglers onboard on a short trip but still managed to boat 14 Turbot to 7lb, a nice 6lb Brill & huge mackerel topping the 2lb mark. Everyone caught and particularly pleased that Peter's 70 year wait for a Turbot came to an end today.
    If you want to get out for some quality Turbot fishing give me a call.

    Best wishes

    Steve

    Oberon has just reached the midway point in our second season in La Gomera. We had a great start to the season with many species caught. During March & April we caught a number of Bluefin with many around 700 lbs. Two of our best went over 800 lbs on the measurement charts. We also caught a number of Big eye tuna with the best at 271 lbs for Dave Wilson.

    In 28 days on the Blue Marlin we have had 17 marlin with 8 captured to the boat. All nice fish with a number around 500 lbs.
