Hi everyone hope you are all well 

Just a quick update the charter industry is still battling with operating restrictions and no finical buisness support, 

On a positive since boating and fishing is allowed during semi lockdown i decided to nip out a few times with my family. 

fishings good had plenty good size bass, hounds and skate about il let the pictures do the talking.

The weekend just gone was my twins 5th birthday took them on a family lockdown fishing trip it was really good sport for them non stop smallish skate and hounds inshore, keeping them busy just what we all needed a day out on the water great memories who knows they may become skippers one day.

please keep and eye out for when lockdown gets lifted and get booked on asap as my diary is all over the place with 3 months of trips being shifted about so please bare with me il do my best to get everyone afloat hopefully not to long now!!

hope to see you all soon Stay safe everyone 

mark peters 

As you can guess All trips will be cancelled for 3 weeks maybe more pending government sanctions and peoples lifes !! 

Lets do the right thing and STAY AT HOME 

The quicker we beat this the quicker we can get back at sea enjoying what our waters have to offer and getting back to normal

When the Corona Virus finally exhausts itself and the danger is over, let's do something good for our country,
Let's spend our holidays in England, eat in local restaurants, buy British products, buy local meats and veggies and support local businesses what ever they are. These businesses are going to find it very difficult to get back on their feet and survive without our help. They're suffering badly now and i am one of those along with many others. 
Our products and services are some of the best in the world. Our country is one of the most beautiful.

on a positive note by the time we all get back out afloat the fishing it will be amazing with the hounds tope skate bass rays mackerel and more well and truly here with the fine weather it will be fantastic.

while all this is going on and we are on lock down protecting the NHS and helping to save life's i get to spend some well needed quality time with my family and keep them safe 

take care and stay safe everyone see you all soon 

Due to the covid 19 situation i have taken the hard decision not to take on any NEW bookings until things settle down 
I will try to adapt daily with the government sanctions please read my previous posts 
It is going to be a very tough time and it will hurt alot of people in many ways i wish everyone the best stay safe and i will hopefully see you all when this is over not to long i hope 
Regarding bookings people already have please read my previous posts or call me on 07523488290 
On a positive them fish will be getting hungry

Fishing and Covid 19 onboard Dawn Tide II
We all know whats going on with the country at the moment horrible times!!

I’m trying to do my bit whilst still trying to earn a living for my young family from full time chartering us charter skippers won't qualify for financial help.
I have contacted a hygiene company and asked for 2 hand sanitisers to be installed on the boat 1 for the deck and one for the wheelhouse asap. I will ask that you bring your own cup or flask for hot drinks and i ask that whilst onboard please wear disposible gloves whilst keeping a respnsible distance between each other.

The boat and equipment is completely washed down and thoroughly cleaned after every trip so no excuses for poor hygiene onboard. 
Im also asking groups that have trips booked too try to keep numbers to a minimum to maximise personal space theres loads of space onboard anyway but it all helps

i will also be doing this on individual walk on dates so we have a safe environment. 
If you or a family member are showing any symptoms i ask you to please follow government guidelines.
If we all follow the above we should be able to continue throughout the season safley and enjoy the fantastic fishing and weather coming up.

it will be a tough time for the angling industry many charter boats tackle shops and bait suppliers will find it hard to continue through this along with the fishing industry and rest of the country so lets all do our bit to help each other get through this. 
I honestly think that a day afloat with the sea air and sun shine fishing away from life’s stresses the mainstream media and the uk population is one of the best relaxing mind clearing safest places to be at the moment miles away form it all literally
hope to see you all aboard soon stay safe every one 
Any enquires as im still operating call me on 07523488290 
And lets find them big fish !!!!

FISHING REPORT 19/3/20

Had the first few hounds of the 2020 season this week only small but a start of things to come bass will be there too if the hounds are!!!!

loads of Rays as usual for the time of year keeps everyone on the toes and the rods bending you don't have to wait long seeing 30-50 most trips and its increasing all the time herring bait doing the job.

if you want them bass and hounds that are down there now its no good using herring you will need to bring/order crab or worm trust me its worth it 

had something i haven't seen in a while a whiting with a lamprey hitching a ride

any way things are vastly improving out there all the species a rocking up for the season can't wait call 07523488290  

11/3/20 

The fishing is improving all the time now unlike the weather wind wind wind !!

On most trips in march we are seeing Between 30-50 skate boated even when the winds blowing and we are stuck inshore we still getting around 30+ rays but getting offshore is much busier and better. 

last trip all the guys put £5 each in for the biggest fish and the winner was regular angler derek marsh with a 12.6lb thornback ray netting him £40 pot that meant his day afloat only cost him £20 so worth a go and gets the banter going keeps you on the ball 

The 1st of bass and hounds started to show around the next week last year so with the warm water for the time of year and peeler crabs starting now you should start seeing them any time now in-between the rays.

walk on spaces coming up in march are 

friday 13th

wednesday 18th

friday 20th 

friday 27th 

see my home page for more availability on whole boats and spaces throughout the season or simply call me on 07523488290 and i can go through my diary with you i always do my best to get everyone aboard see you all soon
