I have been fishing the shores of Weymouth and Chesil Beach since the age of 6. I am passionate about all types of angling and at the age of 17 bought my first boat, an 18' angling pleasure craft mooring it in West Bay harbour giving me the opportunity to combine my two keen interests. After many years of fishing from my own boat as well as the Weymouth Charter Fleet I was given the opportunity by Chris Caines to become a qualified charter skipper and own and run my own boat and business. I look forward to welcoming you on board Al's Spirit so that you can share my enthusiasm and passion for your sport.

John Catchpole (04/06/2011)
We have just returned from Weymouth after yet another trip on Al's Spirit and it comes as no surprise to us that the day out was absolutely superb in all respects. We are a mixed group of anglers from Reading comprising of gents and ladies of varying ability. We have been using Adrian Brown for years and it is his enthusiasm, knowledge, personality, seamanship skills and above all his excellent way of dealing with all levels of angler that keeps us coming back year after year. Nothing is too much trouble for Adrian and he will spend a lot of time explaining exactly what's needed to maximise the catch on the day. His knowledge of the fishing marks in the area is spot on and he will ensure that wherever he recommends to fish will have the potential. It's up to you listen to his advice, concentrate on your fishing and the chances are you'll have a great day's catch. An excellent example of this was our last trip. We came back with a boatload of cod, pollack and bass - we know other boats returned with a lot less fish. If the fish are there, Adrian will put you right over them. What puts Adrian apart from the majority of skippers is that he genuinely wants you to have the best day out he can provide, given the conditions on the day. We have found this is not the case on all charter boats. Every sea angler who has been fishing charter boats for a few years will have stories of skippers who simply motor out, stop the boat and just sit in the wheelhouse to let you get on with it. Adrian however will take you straight to a mark that he knows, through years of experience, will be most likely to hold fish. Once the engines stop, he's straight out and will be walking around the boat ensuring that everyone is using the right tackle, the correct bait and the best methods to maximise the catch. And although Adrian's concern for his customer's enjoyment shows in his professional attitude, his sense of humour and easy going character will make the day a pleasure. All in all, we cannot recommend Adrian highly enough. Whether you are an experienced angler or a complete beginner, he will ensure that you'll have a great day aboard Al's Spirit.
