Fishing has been hit and miss over the last week or so. There have been a few nice smooth-hounds about here and there. Martin joined us for the first time since lockdown and hopefully it was worth the wait. He was rewarded with a fine smooth-hound of just over 14lbs. They may not always have…

2020 tope season
This week I thought I would fill you in on this years tope season aboard the ‘Galloper’. its been a good season all together. We managed to get most trips out and we were successful on most of them. Those that we didn’t see any tope on were either struggling for weather and bait or…

Sorry I have been a little laxed on reports of late, its partly due to being so busy and partly because things are still up in the air regarding trips. Hopefully after yesterdays news we will be able to operate a little more normally soon. Our trips last week saw a mixture of weather and…
