Mackerel Fishing: A Family Favourite
Our mackerel fishing trips are a splendid way to introduce the family to the joys of fishing. Running from the last week in May until early September, these 1.5-hour expeditions aboard our modern catamaran, "Wild Frontier," are perfect for all ages. Priced from £20 per person or £230 for a private group of up to 12, we provide all the necessary equipment, including rods, bait, and tackle, ensuring a seamless experience. Our expert crew offers tuition tailored to beginners and children, utilising a variety of rigs to enhance your chances of a successful catch. Mackerel, known for their excellent taste when barbecued, can be taken home, and if time allows, our crew will gladly prepare your fish on the return journey.
Reef Fishing: Exploring the Underwater Terrain
For those intrigued by the diversity of marine life, our 2-hour reef fishing trips are an excellent choice. From Easter to October, "Wild Frontier" sets sail for the reefs and wrecks along the coast, targeting species like pollock, codling, wrasse, gurnard, and bass. Whether you're an experienced angler bringing your own equipment or a novice eager to learn, these trips priced from £25 per person or £300 for a private group ensure an enriching experience with all gear and tuition included.
Deep Sea Fishing: The Ultimate Challenge
Delving into the depths of the Bristol Channel, our deep sea fishing trips are designed for those seeking a more thrilling pursuit. Available in durations of 4 hours and 8 hours, these excursions explore the bountiful waters for species such as conger eels, tope, ray, bull huss, bass, and pollock. Prices start from £45 per person for the 4-hour trip and £85 for the 8-hour adventure, with private group options available. All trips come with top-of-the-line fishing equipment and expert guidance to help you land a specimen catch.
