Operating from Sutton Harbour Plymouth, Devon.
SIZE MATTERS
Size Matters is now in Plymouth ready to kick the summer 2018 season off
in style!
For the last four days Kevin and his three friends have been finding new
marks to fish before his charters start on April 28th.
Some marks have held Porgies to over 300lb, along with massive shoals of
Pollack to 13lb and Ling to 18lb.
One of the marks held a shoal of Pollack over 1500ft long and 40ft
high!
It’s so good to still see big shoals of fish like this in UK waters.
2018 will be Size Matters biggest year ever as we will be fishing from
three ports Plymouth, Liverpool and Scotland (Croabh Haven).
This is to give anglers the opportunity to experience top class UK
fishing all year around onboard Size Matters!!
Here is a full list of available dates, all Prices include all tackle
and hot drinks!
(Any tackle lost or damaged on our charters will be expected to be paid
for)
If you are interested in booking a trip with us in 2019 from Plymouth we
only have 14 days available.
We have now started taking bookings for 2020 Summer season from
Plymouth.

I.G.F.A - International Game
Fishing Association
The BCC recently sent
I.G.F.A a
life-size model of the record eel for their soon to be opened World Fishing
Centre in Florida - this link is to a mention of them on the World of Fishing
web-site - some other interesting stuff there too.
The webmaster recently visited the I.G.F.A
in Florida in 2006 at Dana Beach and I have to say I was disappointed at the state
of the place. The I.G.F.A certainly needs an injection of money as a global organisation.
Many of the exhibits need important maintenance as they are showing signs of
neglect.
