MACKEREL!!

Nice to see a few of these very welcome summer visitors grace us with their presence! There were loads of gannets feeding in the tide today, and everyone has had some nice fresh mackerel for tea! #fishingpembrokrshire #blueshakuk www.bluesharkuk.com ... See more

There have been some nice pollock showing recently with this one of around 7lbs falling to a jelly worm and plenty more pollock were had during the trip with lots of small coalie still about and a few keepers amongst them. #fishingpembrokrshire #blueshakuk www.bluesharkuk.com ... See more

First trip out to the Celtic Deep last week, cracking day if a little too still making the drift a bit awkward at times, but plenty of fish. We stopped at Grassholm on route where we hit some good pollock and coalie then on to the deeps. The shark fishing was a little slow with one blue shark around 50lbs and one porbeagle around 70lbs caugh, both released at the side of the boat, there was also a blue circling the floats for a while but wasnt hungry. There was a steady flow of good sized spur dogs and whiting on the bottom hooks. There were plenty of dolphins buzzing the boat all day and we saw 2 minke whales on our way back in, all in all a great days fishing! #fishingpembrokrshire #blueshakuk www.bluesharkuk.com ...

There have been lots of small coalie about recently so it was really nice to see this 51cm specimen come over the rails! It put up a great fight even in the 20-30lbs tackle and it’s captor was more than happy.

So yesterday mornings fishing was quite slow and made a bit more challenging by a stiff Northerly breeze. This was followed by a contrasting afternoon of light wind, bright sunshine and the family onboard managed 10 codling and 10 pollock, with a few big enough to take home for their tea, which they told me they thoroughly enjoyed and even sent us a photo of their tasty meal.

I have recently been helping out on one of the other boats helping familiarise a new skipper with some of the local area, which gave me a perfect opportunity to have a quick go on one of my favourite marks a little further out. Three casts three fish with this being the best pollock of around 4.5lbs - 5lbs, caught on a light spinning setup with a small weighted sandeel lure. a good sign for the 3hr deep sea trips we will be running as of tomorrow.

They say the camera never lies, but this time my not so great photography skills certainly didn't do Camerons wrasse any justice, as it was the biggest one I have seen and must have been around 5lb's. It was an absolute lump and put up a very good account of itself as you can probably tell by the smile on Cameron's face! This was caught on our first trip out, which was a short jolly to say thanks to some of the lads that have helped me get the boat ready for the season. We had a few small pollock and some bass following the lures but none hooked. we will be up and running this weekend onwards. get in touch if you fancy wetting a line.

The big day finally came, we launched the Blue Shark for sea trials yesterday and to bring her round to St. Justinians for the season.
More than happy with the new engine, nice and quiet and smoke free! The sea trials went well with the new spray deflectors helping to keep her a much drier ride. She now has a top speed of 22 knots and a cruising speed of 15 - 17 knots. This should make a big difference to all of our trips, opening up more fishing grounds even on the shorter trips. Once the engine was warmed through we could open her right out as she had been run in on the bench at the Iveco factory and achieved a top speed through Ramsey sound with the tide of 28 knots!!
We will be up and running as of Monday, so get in touch if you fancy coming fishing.
