First angling trip of this Season.

I have 2 places on a a 10 hour angling trip on 24th March spare. Its a little early in the season and water temperature is colder than usual for this time of year, but if we're lucky with the weather and can travel in excess of 30 miles, we should have a good chance of some pollack on the offshore wrecks. So if you fancy braving the cold and taking a flyer on an early trip email or give me a bell. Cost £65, sail 0700.

'Gwen-Paul-M' has had her first refit over this last month. We've completed a considerable amount of routine engine and sterngear maintenance and have fitted a new piece of electronic equipment called StructureScan. It is a cross between an echo sounder and a sonar, giving a sidescan image of the seabed. It will help in wreck and rough ground location. Its linked to the repeater screen at the back on the wheelhouse so you'll be able to see it from the deck.  All the hull has been cleaned and polished and her bottom scrubbed. I went out last week on a lobster potting trip and found her to be a little quicker after all the cleaning!


I've been taking advantage of the cold weather this winter, mountaineering in Snowdonia and Scotland.  Its been a great season for one of my winter hobbies.
