    Excellent day out reef fishing 17miles from shore, plenty of action from the deep with Ling,Conger and a variety of smaller fish and one surprise monster which took off like a rocket, snapping the line, might have been a shark or even a Tuna. Dave was helpful, entertaining and experienced. Great boat, well equipped rods and plenty of fresh bait. Our party of five and the other customers all had a great time in the hands of a great skipper. Thanks

    Brilliant days fishing! Can't recommend Dave highly enough. He worked hard to put us on fish, was quick to move on when there none. Once on the fish (or Congers on this trip) Dave kept doing the rounds helping with advice, checking and repairing/ replacing rigs, boating the catch, sorting out snags and tangles and the other one hundred and one things that separate a good skipper from a bad one. Sail with Dave and you wont be disappointed.

    Skippers Reponse: Thank you, Chris, for your review - hope to see you again sometime - regards, Dave

    Me and the wife have had the pleasure of knowing and going out on Bessie Vee with Dave for over 2 years, i have never known a skipper that works so hard for his anglers than this guy, all angling is a matter of luck and being in the right place at the right time and Dave always trys to make it the right time for every angler, even on my unlucky days i have never failed to catch something. He has the worst sense of humor known to skipper kind, especially if your wife is catching more than you ??!! ;-) but we always have a great day and always loads of fun and fishing, he is helpful full of advice (well apart from the i had better retire coz my wife is a better angler) lol...but honestly he is the best skipper in Cornwall, i challenge anyone to find a better boat and a harder working skipper, best of luck for the future mate you deserve it. :-) >>>Mick and Gill

    Skippers Reponse: Thanks Mick - hope Gill believes that you caught what you took home last time!
