How much is caught on charter trips?

[Toerag]

We all see the pics in the magazines of big pollack, cod etc. but how many fish would you expect to catch on a day's charter? A mate of mine reckons he only gets around 5 fish in a days wrecking.

up here in scrabster on a good day id say between 100-300 fish on board.

Check out Ian Burretts site above.Plenty of reports and photos for you.

 

Tack4 and my goodself are booked with Ian next month.

 

If you are a pot hunter give it a miss. Catch and release is his game which is nice :cool:

Just had 3 consecutive daytrips on our only local charter boat "Felix".

Day 1- 4 anglers. 2 Turbot @ 7lb each, 2 bass @ 3lb each and a ton of dogs.

Day 2- 3 anglers. 3 turbot @ 6,7, & 9Lb, 25 pollack to 12.5lb and a couple of mackerel.

Day 3 today. 2 anglers £uck all but 10 mackerel and a good soaking!

Not good tides, not good anglers either! Lost more turbot at the net than we boated

well from what ive read so far i would expect better value than that for my forty or so quid, if i was to take up a regular charter booking, i dont count scotland to far for me to go for a bit of sport...
