Blue Shark Charters

Nice to have some company whilst carrying out the winter maintenance. He pops in every day for a quick snack at tea break.

Here’s our fist attempt at video editing, with some of the few videos and photos we managed to to get during some of our shark fishing trips last year. #fishingtrips #stdavids #bluesharkuk www.bluesharkuk.com

Shark fishing in the Celtic Deeps of Pembrokeshire West Wales during the 2018 season. Some of the blue sharks and porbeagle sharks caught aboard the Blue Sha...

We would just like to thank all of our customers old and new for another fantastic seasons fishing. We've had some brilliant days out on the water, with lots of personal bests and boat records being broken. We hope you all have a very merry Christmas and and look forward to seeing you all again for more of the same next year! ... See more

Can't believe the Blue Shark has been out of the water for two weeks already! Here are a few photos of the lift out, a big thanks to Keith and his crane, Robin and his tractor, Daf and Thousand Islands Expeditions for all of their help. We have quite a big job list for the winter which I should really start getting on top of. There are going to be some interesting changes to the boat and the way we do things next year and we will try our best to post as much as we can on here to keep you up to date. Looking forward to next spring already! ... See more

What a fantastic day to finish the season on!
It was our last trip of the year today and we couldn’t of had a nicer morning, flat seas, beautiful sunshine and lots of fish. About 40 - 50 bass were boated today with a lot of schoolies along with some bigger fish too, around the 55cm mark. By the end of the day it was starting to feel like November, as a cold wind freshened and the clouds thickened. The group on board also caught mackerel, herring, pollock, coalie, whiting and codling and all left smiling. Thanks guys for a great trip to end the year with and hopefully see you all again next year! ... See more

A lovely day on the water today with a small group looking for bass. We struggled to catch many keepers with just the one at 48cm's, but we did brake a new boat record with a conservative estimate of 150+ bass caught!
We stopped counting after everyone got into double figures of fish as we couldn't keep up, the action was thick and fast all trip. We have also never seen so many bass on the echo sounder as recently with the water packed surface to bottom with fish. There are still plenty of joey mackerel about however we aren't finding so many big ones, but the herring have returned. We also had a few decent coalie with one at about 3lbs spitting the hook at the side.
Tomorrow looks like our last day out before the weather breaks and we have a couple of spaces, if you would like to join us, drop us a line.

Yesterday saw Paul, Daf (my brother) and my annual end of season fishing trip. Sharks were the target so we steamed 25 miles out into the Celtic Deep through some quite choppy seas to the shark grounds, where we caught three blue sharks to 80lbs. All sharks were quickly measured, fins photographed for identification and returned safely to the sea. We use high carbon barbless circle hooks to aid a quick and safe release of the sharks. The shark fishing in the Celtic Deeps is starting to slow down, although we are hoping to get out again before the end of the season. We are looking to run more shark fishing trips on weekends through the holiday season next year and any day during the shoulder seasons, tide dependent. #fishingtrips #stdavids #bluesharkuk www.bluesharkuk.com ...

Plenty of bass about!
The school bass have been feeding hard the last few days, coming up 3 at a time on the feathers so we decided to have a try yesterday to see if there were any larger ones about.
So Vic and myself went for a couple of hours ‘crew training’ yesterday and managed 20 bass to 56cm’s between the two of us in 2 1/2hrs. A new pb for vic at 49cm’s and a new one for me at 56cm’s, all of the fish were quite plump and healthy and were returned quickly to the water bar one each for our tea.
The fish seemed to favour a dark topped light underside lure very similar to the small coalies that are also about in numbers.
We are hoping to run a few bass fishing trips over the half term and with the bass regulations being eased till January, you to can take one home for your tea.
If you would like to have a go for an autumn bass, give us a call.
