Looking ahead to the long hot summer, we are hoping to run a couple of boat trips if we can generate enough interest.

With a change of tack from the Holderness coast we are looking to south of the Wash and Great Yarmouth which is a venue that is completely virgin territory to a lot of local anglers.

The boat is the renowned Sea Quest and to ensure comfortable fishing for all, numbers will be limited to eight per trip, with hopefully one midweek trip and one Saturday trip which will be held mid June.

The cost will be £30 for either trip but full payment will be required when confirming booking, for more information you can contact Roger on the above number or email.
