Don’t miss the chance of heading out to sea on this trip the views alone are worth it. The fishing experience was soothing, I lost myself in time to the sounds and rhythms of the water. We saw a host of Barrel jelly fish too - huge billowing creatures making their way through the ocean, oblivious to our gaze. I didn’t catch any mackerel, but it didn’t matter. The very idea, the pretence at a new skill, and the unique ambiance of bring out there next to beautiful Caldey Island was enough …
We looked online and saw a few different places offering fishing. We visited the huts to discuss our needs (2 adults & 3 children) spoke with the lovely lady at this hut and we booked on for that afternoon. Chris our skipper was lovely, calm and helpful. On the boat we caught mackerel, gurnards and a squid. Thankfully I caught 1 mackerel that was big enough for us to take back and eat! Next time we visit we are going to go for the bait trip to catch more species! I would highly recommend a fishing trip with these guys. Took about 10 minutes to leave dry land until we were at our fishing spot. A nice afternoon.
What a fantastic few hours we had on the yellow fin- skipper was brilliant also. Second time out although last year now one fish was caught , far from this years trip. Loads of mackerel caught by all. Also the first fish my lad has ever caught so he was made up. Definitely a must do trip when in Tenby and lovely barbecued Mackerel for dinner. A++++
