Meerkat-Charters

What a hard week it has been but the last couple days getting the hook down on some of Weymouth/ Portland’s inshore reefs showing some good sign of life. What really topped it off was a new boat records.
Martyn was having a tough days fishing until the last half hour where he managed to hook into this monster Thornback being 18lb 10ozs what was even better he caught it on one of my match rods nice light tip and 4.2meters long so that gave him a good scrap. Safe to say his wor...k mates will Never hear the end of that.
Another special mention. Gary caught his personal best bass and Meerkats second double figure weighing 11lb 4ozs what was even more special Gary wanted to let her go to live another day. Fair play mate
Some more big fishing these next few days so fingers crossed.

Another week over with. This time we have had the England home nation team practicing Monday and Tuesday then the official practice on Thursday followed by the competition on Friday and Saturday. It’s been a excellent week with a great bunch of anglers who really have a passion for our sport and who spend an amazing amount of time travelling around practicing and making some serious amount of rigs.
After 2 tight days fishing on the score board with only 1 or 2 fish in it... all the time the Irish come out on top closely followed by England 3rd wales and 4th Scotland.
Congratulations to Ireland for winning the 2019 home nations and also thank you Team England for a brilliant Week putting up with me on are practice days, remember always look out for that 24ft sea gull you just never know when it will appear again.
Thank you for visiting Weymouth and we are look forward to seeing some of you back at the Europeans in September.
