Time for the withy pots to take a rest, the Mackerel and Herring have started to arrive now and we're hoping for a good winter season of fishing ahead.

Morning All,

We're very pleased to announce that all of our catch is now available each week at https://wylde.market/collections/rob-helford-the-lizard-peninsula

We continue to provide our fish and shellfish to our lovely local customers but all online orders will now be handled by Wylde Market.

This fantastic new online market is open 7am-7pm every Wednesday for delivery on a Friday (pre-12) - we sit alongside other producers on this new market which allows you to order their amazing produce too and get it all delivered together which saves money on multiple shipments.

The market is already very popular so I'd recommend that you check the market at https://wylde.market bang on 7am to make sure you get first choice of the fantastic selection of amazing food on offer.

Hailing originally from Nottinghamshire, Rob has called Cornwall home for over 15 years. Fishing in and around Helford and the Lizard Peninsula, he catches po***ck, bass and herring using rod and line only. Rob also deploys ‘withies’ – traditional wooden lobster pots that he handmakes himself ...

Morning all

We ran our first charter on Saturday and have now published our schedule for the summer. If you fancy a cruise of the Helford River or would like to try your luck at pulling a traditionally hand made withy lobster pot then please take a look at https://fh787.co.uk/cruises/

Thank you, Rob & Andrea

Our glossy new lobster and trips leaflets have now arrived and will be distributed tomorrow. We're now catching Whiting, Pollack and Bass in addition to shellfish. Withy pots go in tomorrow after the cokyn-baba is away in a whiff all ready for their first pull on Saturday with our first lobster pot pull experience trip.

Hi everyone, just in time for the summer, we have now launched our cruises on North Star from Helford and Helford Passage that will start running this week through to the end of September.

More information is available on our website and we're also just waiting for some flyers to arrive in the week.

We've also updated the fish sales page on the website, this is still limited at the moment but we hope to be out more and have more fish available to meet the demand that we have for our catches, thank you all for your patience!

Sorry for the radio silence for the last few weeks, we've been away and also had a few issues at home with our dogs to deal with. We have some really good news that following a lot of hard work and paperwork North Star is now coded and ready to take paying guests for coastal cruises, traditional withy pot fishing experiences and trips around the river. The boat is also available for private charter for film crews and light work. We'll be sorting out the website next week with more details. The fishing has been slow but things are picking up now although following being let down by our previous courier we are revising our online offer and hope to be offering a selection of fresh fish and shellfish soon for delivery throughout England and Wales. Thank you, Rob & Andrea

North Star has been having a bit of TLC this week getting her ready for coding. Once complete in the next month or so we'll be able to take up to three people out on trips including marinelife watching, traditional withy pot lobster fishing, tours of the creeks, media and working boat jobs. Back to fishing tomorrow now the season is well underway and we look forward to being able to share the fun of an open cove boat with you throughout the summer.
