The Fair Chance is skippered by Jerry Oiller who has the reputation for finding good locations with better than average species of fish. Species that you can expect to catch when in season are Bass, Spurdog, Cod, Bream, Pollock and Plaice to name a few. Recent notable catches have been recorded - Plaice to 3.5lb, Pollock to 15lb, Black Bream to 3.75lb, Spurdog to 15lb and Cod to 27lb. Jerry tells me that there are bigger catches to be had.

The Fair Chance is a 25ft Philips Displacement boat with plenty of deck space and is licensed to carry 6 anglers to a distance of 15 miles. Usual day trips are 7 to 8 hours in duration however; longer trips of 10 to 12 hours be negotiated depending on tide conditions. Costs are £170.00 for the standard fishing trip with an extra charge for the longer days.

Great fishing at reasonable costs.
