Despite being busy on our general trips lately we have still made time to head offshore in search of tope in between. It can be a risk for a skipper to set aside certain tides for fishing like this but thankfully they were all filled quickly. The weather has been kind to us this season…
The other day Tim hired the boat for himself, his Dad and his 4 boys to join us. the boys are all under 13 and had joined me before although this was the first time all four had been out at once. The weather wasn’t bad and the fish played ball for us. the boys…
Although we may like to remember those halcyon days of summer, in my experience our current run of weather has been a more realistic British summer. The weather may have been up and down, wet and dry, hot and cold but it has still been a pleasant time to be afloat. The fishing has made…
We have had another busy run of trips over the last week or two. The general fishing has continued to be great fun and productive too. At times the numbers of smooth-hounds coming aboard seemed a bit lower than the last set of tides produced. However our best day still saw over 40 hounds to…
Although at times the weather may not have been the best we have still found some great fishing over the last week or so. We have been grateful that there are still some good numbers of roker in places when we have needed them. We wouldn’t expect many inshore at this time of year and…
Although as It may be hard to believe at this very moment, if you cast your memory back just a few days there was a big yellow fellow in the sky. There was also very little wind as we enjoyed what was hopefully the first of many settled spells this summer. To be honest from…
We have enjoyed a run of fantastic weather lately and the fishing hasn’t disappointed either. Our general trips have been great fun with some quality hounds coming aboard most trips. Numbers have been great too with 25-50 per trip pretty average. Our biggest so far this season has been 19.5lbs although there have been double…

Our general trips have been great lately. The water temperature has picked up and kicked everything into touch now. We have had a great start to the smooth-hound fishing this year. They have been turning up all over the place with a few very close to shore. When conditions are right we are have concentrated…
Although I never rule anything out with sea fishing, it is safe to say our spring season on the spurdogs is now over. Due to the lockdown from Christmas onwards we lost a large chunk of our season this year. However the northerly winds throughout April bought the water temperature down and helped keep them…
COVID-19 UPDATE We have now had confirmation that the large deck area on Galloper we have some good news. we are able to accommodate up to 8 anglers plus the skipper as of 17/05/21. This is great news for anybody planning a full boat booking as they can try and keep the cost per person…
With the water temperature finally on a steady rise we have been seeing hounds and bass on most of our trips. Of course there are lots of dogfish, roker and even numbers of whiting in places but we are most exited about these signs of summer after such a prolonged cold spell. The lads have…
Although fishing is our main focus a trip on a boat is about more than fish. Being at sea can be a an exciting experience in its self. We see lots of wildlife on our trips too and I think it is an important part of angling. Some people enjoy seeing their first seal, others…
