Diligence Mackerel Trips, located in Saint Austell, offers a unique fishing experience on their 30ft traditional commercial fishing boat. With ample deck space, Diligence provides a comfortable and enjoyable environment for all passengers. Skipper Matt, a lifelong commercial fisherman in Mevagissey, has been running fishing trips for the past 20 years during summer. His extensive knowledge of the local waters ensures that you have the best chance of a successful fishing trip.
The typical 90-minute mackerel trip begins with a short journey to an area where the fish are expected to be found, which is usually about 10 to 15 minutes away from the harbour. Once there, Skipper Matt provides a quick demonstration on how to use the fishing rods. Each passenger is then given their own rod, and the excitement of fishing for mackerel begins. Even if you are new to mackerel fishing, the experience can be easier than you think, especially on the right day.
At the end of the trip, the fish you catch will be bagged up for you to take home and enjoy for supper.
Diligence Mackerel Trips run approximately every two hours, depending on demand and weather conditions. Outside the six-week school holiday period, trips may be less frequent and dependent on demand. Each trip lasts about 90 minutes and costs 17 per person. You are welcome to keep all the fish you catch.
Mevagissey bay provides exceptional shelter from most winds, allowing trips to operate on most days, as long as the wind is not coming from the east. Rainy weather does not stop the fun, as fishing trips continue regardless of a bit of rain.
These mackerel trips are suitable for all ages and are a great family activity. Well-behaved dogs are also welcome on board. However, children under the age of 15 or 16 must be accompanied by an adult. Whether you are a first-time fisherman or a seasoned angler, Diligence Mackerel Trips provides everything you need for a successful and enjoyable fishing experience.
All rods and tackle are provided, and Skipper Matt offers a full demonstration to ensure that both beginners and experts alike can make the most of their trip.
