Now taking Bookings for 2011

Tuesday, June 15th, 2010 by Ray

We have now opened our diary for 2011 and are taking bookings. It’s best to book early for next year, especially if you want a weekend and/or the best tides!

Our diary is getting very full for 2010 leading to disappointment for some – especially those looking for weekend dates or good tides. We have some availability on weekdays and a few weekends from September through until the end of the year.

Now is also the time to be thinking about booking for winter Cod. October through until the end of December see’s the best of the winter Cod Fishing, with bigger tides generally the most productive.

We keep our online calendar updated if you want to check available dates. We look forward to seeing you soon!

Edit: I forgot to add that our Individual’s Days on Wednesdays and Fridays are proving to be very popular so if you want to book a space(s) please do get in touch!

Pollack Competition

Pollack Comp-010610-013The morning of the pollack competition had finally arrived and after twice being cancelled due to unsuitable weather conditions today was to be third time lucky.  Eager and full of excitement we were up at 5am in order to get down the marina early.  It took no time at all to gather everything we needed as we had spent the evening before making sure that we had everything ready and all set to go.   The car was loaded with the Viking hats for the crew and all that needed doing was to don the Viking costume grab a quick cup of tea and head off.  Read the rest of this entry »

Start children fishing young

Tuesday, April 13th, 2010 by Mick

Loes and Megan Fishing-130410-010With no charter today we had promised our little one that we would take her out fishing today.  We watched out of the window all morning as the wind was blowing quite hard and sea white capping.  It was starting to look like we would not be able to get out at all today.  Luckily by around 2pm the wind had lessened so we grabbed our fleeces and headed down to the marina.

Fishing in Brighton during March and April

Friday, February 26th, 2010 by Mick

Jelly WormsAfter a fantastic winter cod season which saw excellent quality fish ranging from 8lb up to over 20lb we are really excited about the fishing over the next couple of months.

All the boats in Brighton have been bringing in plenty of fish suppers.  Now with great anticipation, we are turning our attention to fishing for the Pollack, which are already showing in good numbers and sizes out on the wrecks. Read the rest of this entry »
