Matt

Thanks for the welcome all, at the moment my next planned trip isn't until the start of November, so I'll have to try and get a couple booked in the interim to prevent the onset of cabin fever! 
The nearest coastline to me is the Solent area which is still 2 hours on a good run..... thinking about trying to book on a charter out of the Portsmouth area as that's the easiest to get to. 
I agree that Les is a great Skipper.... the last time I was out with him was in May and we had a fantastic day on the Bream, must have had 15+ on the day!

Hi all,
Have been lurking and reading this forum for a few weeks now thought it would be a good time to get involved properly and what a great forum this is 👍
I’m a fanatical boat fisherman but living in Northamptonshire am severely limited to when i can get out on charters.
I have family down in Lymington and visit them as often as I can and used to fish with John Skeggs on Last Laugh and more recently Les on White Maiden.
Have only managed 2 trips this year due to the weather but every time is an absolute pleasure to be out on a boat

Welcome Matt - 
I too have been out with Les on White maiden, he's a great skipper - been out a few times a few years back.
he took great delight in showing me how to hold a conger properly - i mean he kept on showing me...... 🤣 

and it had to be those 2 fingers......
