About the Skipper:

I have fished these waters for the past 30 years. I have been a charter skipper for the past 17 years. I am a serious fisherman myself, and pride myself on never having a blank trip. I specialise in tope fishing May/June/July. We also fish for Pollock on Bristol channel wrecks , and Lundy. We also fish for blue shark, and porbeagle shark off Lundy and celtic deeps from June onwards. In shore fishing is also excellent, targeting species such as Bream, Wrass, Pollock, Bass, Skate, and a number of other species. From July onwards we also fish for Bass, using live sandeel which is great sport.

This Charter has been listed as Wheelchair Accessible. Contact the Skipper for full details.

    Brilliant Mackeral fishing trip today with Stuart on the Ebony May.
    Made the whole family feel very welcome and safe thoughout, the kids loved the experience and came away with 24 Mackeral and a close up view of seals on the way back as an added bonus.
    Thoroughly recommended

  • 5-star John Kinsey (26/05/2016)

    Went out with Stuart on Ebony May, had great day on the Tope. First drop, caught a 31lb, then next had 3 more, up to 35lb. Great to have a skipper of Stu's experience. Great bloke, nothing too much trouble, tea & coffee all day!

  • 5-star James Ashton (16/10/2015)

    First time out on the happy hooker. We were after Bass but the Bass were not playing or the mackys, the skipper try'ed his best moving from mark to mark. We ended up on the hook and had gurnard and some mackys. In all had great day even if the fishing was hard. Look forward to seeing you next year.

    went for the second time with Alan and he didn't let us down once again! Thanks again Alan! (Joel, Karl and Cameron... The sick one ) ;)

    Had the great pleasure of another great day out bass fishing aboard the Happy Hooker out of Saundersfoot harbour. By rights I should have wrote my first review last year when I first got hooked on the bass fishing off Saundersfoot. Alan the skipper is a great coach and gets obvious pleasure in passing on his knowledge and experience to both novices and more experienced anglers alike. If I could I would go fishing with him every week. I have fished with him about half a dozen times now, always caught, always learnt and always had a good laugh.
