    brilliant day

    Full Day Trip – Shared • 2 adults

    A really fantastic time fishing with my son. We got to meet some really nice people and Paul was an absolutely excellent skipper/host. He took the time to make sure we had the right set up, and looked after baiting hooks etc as well as skin and gut all the fish we caught ready for eating. Took us to about 5 different locations to increase our chances of catching different types of fish but one thing I noticed he was strict on was returning underszied fish straight back into the sea. As above, a great day out and my son is hooked. would definitely recommend.

    Good Experiience

    Full Day Trip – Shared • 4 adults

    We had an amazing day out with Captain Paul! He was an excellent leader who guided and directed us perfectly throughout the trip. Although the weather and conditions weren’t the best for catching fish, Paul’s expertise still helped us get plenty of bites and land several fish — even though most had to be released back into the ocean due to the 42 cm size rule for sea bass. Paul’s professionalism, knowledge of the waters, and friendly attitude made the experience enjoyable from start to finish. Highly recommend choosing Paul’s service for anyone looking for a well-organized and genuinely fun fishing trip!

    Used Bonway previously and this time took a bunch of first timers who lived it, Skipper very helpful and patient with all of us. We caught what he said we could expect. Looking for our next free dates to book again.

    Great day out , caught fish as promised in the areas the skipper told us. Skipper really helpful and could not do enough to help those who had never fished before. Can't say enough good things ... Just back in the pub and rest of lads loved the day out.
