Forth Sea Safaris

We had a great trip from start to finish. I was after a mackerel fishing trip mid September, Leanne warned us there might be no fish as we'd be out of season but I pressed explaining we understood that was part of fishing and we'd be happy just being out on the water giving it a go. Leanne put on a trip for us and we even extended our time out to make the most of the day to see if we could catch more fish. The whole thing got sorted out in a couple of emails. The day came and we couldn't have asked for better weather, glorious sunshine, and a slight breeze. We met with the crew in the morning and wasted no time getting out on the boat which was fully equipped with everything we needed. I'd reccomend bringing some lunch. As the group didn't have much fishing experience, we hired the rods and gear, which was all setup ready for us to go and perfectly suited to the task at hand. Leanne gave us all a demonstration on how to use the rods and off we went from one fishing spot to the next. Our skipper had great knowledge of the local area, giving us the history of the island, showing us how the boat controls worked but his experience showed when we started pulling fish out the water. 62 over the course of the day to be presice, some coming out 2 or 3 at a time. Everyone in the group caught at least 5 or 6 and the crew was there to help us all the way, they were just as excited as we were every time we got a bite, knowing how unlikely it was catching fish that time of the year. As our time came to an end and we headed back to harbour the fish we caught were gutted by the crew (thank you) and they kept the boat sparkling clean throughout spraying the deck and washing out the innards so it didn't get stinking throughout the trip. When we docked up they helped again heading the fish and we packed them up to go home. It's the first time any of us have ever pulled a fish from the sea, dispatched it, processed it, and ate it, all on the same day - there's a big degree of satisfaction in that. For the price of the trip none of us could have asked for a beter day, Leanne and the skipper were extremely no nonsense, accommodating and friendly people I'd be happy to have a pint with. The group will be talking about this trip for years. Thank you for showing us a great time.

I and a bunch of pals over 60, all inexperienced fishermen, went on a mackerel fishing trip for to hours with Forth Sea Safaris. It was great experience, the crew were very helpful to people who didn't know one end of the rod from the other. One guy's 90 year old father came with us and they made him feel welcome too. For people of our age the onboard loo was a welcome bonus! The mackerel were very obliging too I have to say. Great trip.
