March 29th please?😎cheers Lewis😎
Really hope your can get back out there again mate.
Just a quick update for everyone, Pegasus is sat firmly on her mooring, I did take her for a run at the end of January as it was time to swap the life rafts for servicing, other than that a few little jobs have been completed but I’ve mostly been busy at home or working on a local whelking boat. I’ve even decided to give my ropy old tender a bit of TLC!! Anyway I’ve just updated the website and the calendar, I got the general feeling last year operating with a maximum of 6 on board for most of the year that a lot of you preferred the extra space, however not everyone can afford this luxury but to meet somewhere in the middle I’ve decided that all individuals trips will now be run with a maximum of 8 anglers on board instead of 10 once the dreaded virus allows. I have updated the price list on the bookings page on the website. Calendar is all up to date, lots of availability for bookings for both whole boat charters and individuals, let’s hope by Easter time we are back to some form of operating but I expect numbers to still be limited.
Be good to hear anyone’s thoughts on the above.
Hope to see everyone sooner rather than later!

Best of luck Lewis. Hopefully see you by the start of March for a few days fishing if the restrictions are lifted.
Good luck Lewis. ‘21 hasn’t started too well. Let’s hope the jabs do the trick!
HAPPY NEW YEAR ALL! A cracking way to round of the year yesterday with decent weather out in the channel for a go at the Pollack and they certainly obliged, plenty of low doubles with the best 2 fish going 16lb 12 oz for Les Renders and 13lb 8oz for Paul Thompson, Les also had the most with a cracking tally of 14 Pollack throughout the day.
Sounds like an excellent day.
Some cracking fish there mate
The last day of the annual conger comp on the 30th was a little disappointing numbers wise, we pushed further off than the previous 2 days with better weather looking for bigger eels, the first wreck produced 27 eels up to 40lb which was the best of the day for Richard Howells, in about 2 hours fishing and we saw a much better average size than the previous 2 days with al fish between 20 and 40lb. At slack tide I decided to move to another larger wreck still in search of the bigger eels, anchoring proved difficult to start with with wind over tide but at the second attempt we were in position, it seemed to take an age to get going when the tide picked up and we ended up fishing a bit tight to the large wreck and struggling to pull the eels out, 5 more came to the boat up to 37lb plus 2 foul hooked eels which didn’t go on the tally, Richard Howells also had the most Eels on the day with 11. as the tide slackened I expected the fishing to improve but instead we were attacked by a hungry pack of Spurdogs. So overall Mike Spillers 58lb fish from day 1 is the winning eel, well done to Mike.
A great little event you have there Lewis, well done. Using those Hook Ups of Darren's certainly done the buisness on the first day anyway. A great comp and well run once again. Glad to be crowned champ.
Love the pictures,they really tell a story.
