First come first served, i have a drop out for a skate fishing weekend

2 days boat fishing for skate and congar
1 night bnb
Travel together in a group of three...we have booked the full boat for both days

Cost all in thats car fuel, boat hire, bnb and rod hire will be around £260.


I must state thou you need good health as in a good back and able to fight a 200lb fish for upto 2hrs

It will be cold but i do it every year and so far never had a trip cancelled due to weather.

Never had a trip called off unless its a very strong south wind the sea never gets up. Skate fishing is a waiting game, you may not get a bite for 5 hours then 2 or 3 rods go at the same time when a group move through the swim...last year we had 4 on at the same time and only 3 people on the boat but that was it for the full day no more bites.

In November you always seem to pick up a few conger on the smaller baits and the odd thornback, black mouth dogfish and normal dogfish....i have never caught a spurr yet but been biten off by them twice up there.

Hope the mackerel are around still off our coast, as i now need 35 full ones for my skate trip. If the weather holds i hope to land a few on Friday.

Also just booked a 2 day tope trip, so hoping to ge lucky and hit them pack tope feeding again..wish to have a day like we did back in June 17 tope in a 7hr sesh
