A lot of you will know this has been in the pipeline for a while. I have sold the Pegasus and this weekend coming will be my last weekend. After that she will have a new home. Any bookings after the 3rd November will have to be cancelled and any monies payed will be refunded. I will be shutting this page down in a week or so. I would like to thank everyone for your custom and many happy memories over the years. Hopefully I’ll see you again soon with a rod in my hand!
All the best

On behalf of Beer & District Sea Angling Association - good luck Lewis and thanks for a job well done. Just wondering for a "friend" who we will call when our anchor gets stuck in the future. You will be missed in the bay.
