Channel Islands




Oberon will make several crossings to the Channel Islands in 2010. We make the picturesque island of Alderney our base. The people of Alderney always make you very welcome in the many hotels, pubs and eating places and you will want to return time after time.

The passage across the English Channel from Poole to Alderney can take about four hours. However,during the crossing we will visits some of the many wrecks along the way.

The usual species include Conger, Ling, Pollack, Cod,and Bass. The usual pattern we follow is to move from wreck to wreck and the type of fishing is dictated by what the tide is doing at the time.

Normally during the slack water we try to get the anchor down for a while and enjoy a tussle with a Conger or two. In what seems like no time at all, We will arrive into Braye Harbour.

A lovely village almost totally unaffected by the outside world. A relaxing, welcoming, friendly village where you feel welcome as soon as you arrive.

During our time fishing around the island we will be spoilt for choice in regard to what species we target. When the fishing is over for the day we may raft up on the odd evening and have a BBQ on board with a few cold beers to wash down your fresh bass and bream,not a bad way to round of the day.
