If you are an angler that likes to combine a holiday with fishing, then why not consider a trip to the island of Alderney.
We currently do four and five day trips to this wonderful island several times a year and anglers can either charter the boat completely or join us on one of our indivual trips.
Alderney offers a unique experience, a relaxed and friendly venue, great hospitality and a chance to catch some fine fish.
Our trips to Alderney tend to be to target the turbot and brill that frequent the many banks around the island. Turbot fishing can at times be slow, but it is a relaxing and a very enjoyable type of fishing. For anglers that persevere, the reward is often a nice turbot or brill. Such a catch would be a rare thing on our side of the channel.
If you are the kind of angler that expects to bag up on fish, then a trip to Alderney on board True Blue may not be for you. We promote conservation measures because we recognise that species such as turbot and brill are more valuable in the sea, than out of it. These valuable fish play an important part in contributing to the Islands economy by attracting more anglers to the Island to catch them. Of course we do allow some fish to be kept for the table, but the minimum size limit that we use on True Blue is 45cm. That is 15cm greater than the Channel Islands own size limit and 3cm greater than the UK Mainland's minimum limit. These conservation measures are important if good stocks are to be maintained for the future. They are being voluntarily adopted by many of the UK based charter boats visiting Alderney

2010
Our first two trips of 2010 have resulted in record amounts of turbot and brill landed. Seven days of fishing on the banks have produced 191 turbot and 5 brill. Our biggest turbot from these first three trips was 16lb 8oz, although most of the fish were around 4-5lb and well within the legal size limit, many were released.
