I personally recommend Danny Mc Carthy have always done very well with him

30' BWM Napier. 270 HP
Skipper: Danny McCarthy

I will second Danny Mc Carthy .....have always had a successful day with him , fishes the best water with the best knowledge and a great character to match

A word of caution ,Storm from Katia will hit around 11 to 12th September , so seas will be rough around that time and for 3 days after , so avoid exposed south and south west coast.

Best of Luck !!
