Seafire Fishing is a popular fishing charter located in Watchet, Somerset. The charter is operated by Skipper Shaun, who has over 20 years of experience in charter fishing in the area. Seafire is a fully equipped charter fishing vessel, licenced to carry 12 anglers. The boat, named Offshore 105, is 34 ft long and holds an MCA 60 mile licence.
Seafire operates year-round, sailing from Watchet Harbour. The Bristol Channel, where the charter operates, is known for its excellent fishing opportunities. The waters are abundant with a variety of fish such as Cod, Tope, Conger, Smoothound, Bass, Rays, and Wrasse. Skipper Shaun, with his extensive knowledge of the area, knows all the best fishing spots to ensure a successful and exciting fishing trip.
One of the notable fish found in the Bristol Channel is the Conger eel. These eels are commonly found in reefs or wreck areas in depths of up to 100m. They can grow to impressive sizes, reaching a maximum length of 3m and weighing around 250-350lb, although larger specimens are not uncommon.
Cod, another popular catch, can be found throughout the UK, particularly in colder waters during the autumn and winter seasons. Cod form large shoals when they are young but become solitary as they grow bigger. Tope, on the other hand, can reach lengths of up to 195 cm and are primarily coastal species often found in shallow bays and estuaries. They have a varied diet, feeding on bony fish, squid, and other elasmobranchs.
Bass, highly sought after by anglers, are known for their fighting qualities. Anglers typically target bass due to their striking appearance and reputation as a challenging catch. Bass over 10lb are considered landmark catches, although smaller fish still provide plenty of sport.
Smooth-hound, a shallow water shark species, are commonly found in sandy, shingle, and light broken ground. They tend to avoid heavy, rocky areas and prefer relatively shallow waters of up to 100m.
Seafire Fishing offers a range of charter options to suit different preferences and schedules. The four-hour charter is available during high tide, with the boat returning before the marina gate closes. The eight-hour charter allows anglers to fish from before the gate closes on the outgoing tide until it reopens on the next incoming tide. The twelve-hour charter spans two tides and departs at a convenient time based on tide times.
Additionally, there is a ten-hour charter available under specific conditions.
The charter boat is fully equipped, with amenities such as an echo sounder, fish finder, radar, VHF radio, toilet, and hot drinks. Fishing tackle and bait are available for an additional fee. Seafire Fishing is insured and ensures full seating for 12 anglers.
Whether you're an individual angler looking for a fishing adventure or a group who wants to enjoy the thrill of fishing in the Bristol Channel, Seafire Fishing offers a memorable charter experience.
