As an ex Drennan Oxford match angler, boat fishing is a new venture for me and Doug's boat Independent, run from Clovelly is to be highly recommended in my opinion.

We caught Bass up to personal best of close to double figures. Doug's knowledge and fishing craftsmanship of the local area should be experienced at first hand. I would recommend this to inexperienced to the experienced angler for a highly enjoyable fishing trip. Nothing is guaranteed in fishing but Doug makes his very best effort for this to happen.…

Great time had by all. Doug was really helpful & informative explaining about the different fish we all caught. He very patiently unhooked our catches & rebaited the rods for us all. A very clean & well maintained boat. Very competitively priced & definitely good value for money. Would have no qualms recommending Independent Charters at all.…
