7 of us went fishing with Steve last week and we had a terrific time. Steve was extremely knowledgeable taking us to ideal locations to fish various species, he is very professional, always available and can sort all possible issues on board. The boat has plenty of space for all and is well organised. Overall we all had a fantastic time and felt in really good hands with Steve. We would all thoroughly recommend

Skippers Reponse: Many thanks for the feedback Jean. i am glad that you all enjoyed your time afloat with me on Lucky Dip II.
welcome back anytime too.

Just back from a fantastic days fishing on the Lucky Dip 2. Would highly recommend. Steve really knows his stuff and was extremely helpful for us novices. Caught my first ever Haddock, Herring and Spurdog. We will definetly be back soon. Thanks again, John

Skippers Reponse: Many thanks for the feedback John. Glad you all enjoyed the day out and looking forward to seeing you all again. All the best. Steve

Have to Recommend Steve, we go out with him regularly. The bacon rolls and the coffee are an added bonus. Steve takes care of everyone, he loves the catch no matter the size. :-). Due to his experience on the water, I feel very safe with him if there was to be an emergency and the catches are great. Yes we have had a couple of times when we have blanked but majority of our trips are really productive. Thank you Steve :-)

Skippers Reponse: Always good to see you both, and your welcome anytime for a cuppa. Thanks for the review and see you again soon.

Nine of us had booked Steve’s boat for a trip last Saturday. Accommodation sorted, we were looking forward to the annual fishing competition. As agreed, I tried to contact Steve mid-week to check the weather was ok for the trip. 4 phone calls, 2 messages and an email via this site were all ignored. Just as I was about to give up my wife called and miraculously got through to be told the trip was on. Three carloads drove from Glasgow to Portpatrick. When we arrived at the dock we said hello to Steve who said he’d be over at the steps to pick us up shortly. I watched on with a sinking feeling as Steve and a few other people started to scratch their heads, grab some tools and remove batteries from nearby cars to put them in his boat. Thirty minutes later Steve came over to say that he had just developed electrical problems so the trip was off. Apparently he needed some more tools to fix the problem so I asked if we could just do an afternoon trip. He said he had a ‘big doo’ starting at 6:30pm that night so that clearly wasn’t happening despite having the boat booked for the full day. As we sat at the harbour that evening drowning our sorrows, we watched on in dismay as the other skipper, Dominic, arrived back with his charter, full of happy anglers. We’re collectively about £450 out of pocket for accommodation and fuel with a promise of a discounted future trip…date yet to be confirmed!!!

Skippers Reponse: Unfortunately we do get negative reviews and I won't hide them. Unfortunate as it was having to cancel the trip safety is of the utmost importance. The problem turned out to be terminal with the starter motor arcing out and destroying its self. At £290 each and having to get one posted from Preston it was not going to be a quick fix. When the group decide to rebook we will honour the discount offered.

Great morning's fishing. It was only my son and I as another party had called off. Having the boat to ourselves meant we had some really good banter with Steve the skipper. Right nice bloke and very knowledgeable. Plenty of fish caught , although no record breakers plenty of variety. Great morning.

Skippers Reponse: Many thanks for the great feed back. was an enjoyable morning out with you both.

Went out with Steve on Thursday. Party of 4 boys well looked after best fishing trips we've been on .from bacon rolls coffee and all that Steve can do for you.The day we were leaving had a flat battery so went and found Steve and he help us get started. Great Guy

Skippers Reponse: Always a pleasure lads, look forwards to seeing you in the future. good wee group to have out on the boat.
