Going boat fishing?

Dave with a big winter pollack

Enewsletter buttonWelcome to Boat Fishing Monthly magazine's website. Bringing you more great angling features, top tackle tests and mark info than ever before.

When the wind has been kind and allowed us to get out, sport has been outstanding, with loads of monstrous tope being caught, along with the first of the summer cod and bass. It's all go along the south coast, with big tope and smoothounds showing well, plus plenty of big cod and pollack both on the wrecks and on the ground.

Charter boats logoIn the Northeast, the cost fishing is on fire, and the average size of fish is well up too - with loads of fish well into double figures this year. Make the most of the great weather and get yourself out in search of that personal best - there's never been a better time to catch it!

The first episode of 'Boat Fishing With Barham' is now live and available to watch. I visited my old mate Gethyn Owen in Anglesey for a rather interesting day on the hounds! Check out the trailer here

Take a look a my blog for my latest fishing exploits, and if you've boated a whopper yourself recently, why not post your pictures in our gallery.

If it's too rough to get out on your own boat, why not try to book a trip on a charter boat? We've got a comprehensive list, so there's bound to be one near you - check them out here.

This is your website, so join the Forum and check out our Photos and Videos section, tell us what you like and where you like to fish. Share your photos and fishing tales and really contribute to the future of Boat Fishing Monthly - Britain's leading boat fishing magazine.
