Great days fishing today after a windy week. Started off quite chilly but warmed nicely. Feathered for mackerel to start and got enough for bait together with sand eels and those pesky weavers. Then we headed to the Tope grounds and were successful about 20 minutes after dropping anchor. In all we boated 13 and lost 3. The biggest was around 45lbs. All seven anglers caught one Tope and Carl lead the field with 4 followed by Claire Tom and Dave with two each .Thanks Jon for putting us in the right place and the usual free flowing tea and Ibiscuits. Hope the Tope that bit your leg doesn’t die from food poisoning but seriously hope you don’t get infection.
Skippers Reponse: Was a good day john despite my leg hanging off!!!!!!! Nice to see the small tope for once great day all round, thanks for review bud. Cheers

Had a brilliant day out invited by my friend. I was sick as a dog as it was choppy but we all caught something with Jon the skipper finding the right spots. Jon was a legend and we all loved listening to his stories, a pleasure to be around, top bloke. Would love to come back for some Mackerel.

First opportunity to get out after several cancellations due to strong winds. We stayed inshore protected from the gusty westerly wind. Bit chilly but escaped any rain.Fishing was slow until the tide turned but then doggies and whiting were coming aboard regularly. One thornback about 4lbs returned to fight another day. Everyone on coffee today which was flowing freely as usual along with biscuits.
Skippers Reponse: Not a bad day in all john hope we get a weather break soon mate!!! Cheers

Good days fishing today. It was a bit lumpy to start but we were able to fish comfortably. Hunting for mackerel for bait we were initially plagued with sand eels. We did start getting mackerel of a good size the biggest around 2lbs. We then drifted a wreck waiting for tide to start running but only got a pouting a tub Gurnard and a couple of weavers. We then anchored up on the tope ground and boated 10 lost one at the side of the boat and two which dropped the bait after a short run. Jon and Paul generously handed their rods to a couple of the lads who had never caught a tope to make their day although I think Paul was tired having caught three already. Jon was busy landing tope but still managed to make tea and coffee . All tope were close to 40 lbs and biggest 55lbs and all were returned safely
Skippers Reponse: Think we have to leave Paul at home next time John give ourselves a chance!!!! Not a bad day in all mate.

Fishing was a bit slow today but John worked hard (and succeeded) to find us some fish. A regular supply of hot drinks and a friendly positive attitude onboard made for a very enjoyable day. Will definitely come again. Many thanks Sam
Skippers Reponse: Thanks sam sorry about the travelling today was hard work least we got a few. Many thanks for coming out bud. Cheers Jon

Good day today bit windy but wind with tide was not uncomfortable. Jon put us the the fish straight away and we had regular bites throughout. Catch included numerous smooth hounds mostly pregnant females, all returned. Lots of dog fish and whiting a couple of thornback rays a dab and pouting. Disappointing that a party of three cried off at 7.30 leaving no chance to fill the boat very inconsiderate
