Love mackerel time. Isn't it just the best fun that any family can have on the water? Scrappy fighters, beautiful colours and the nicest tasting fish that swims in our waters.

Mackerel, mackerel, MACKEREL, mackerel, holy mackerel! Well they are such beautiful fish to see, catch and eat, that they have to be worth shouting about. And now is full on Mackerel time. So if you are here on holiday or even if you live a drive away (many folks come to catch their dinner on day trips to New Quay) then why not come and catch some fresh mackerel? What could be better? A day out at the seaside and fresh fish for dinner.

One of the most colourful fish to be caught in Cardigan Bay. The wonderful Dragonet. Electric blues shine out of this fish when its first caught and we love to see them. Not the biggest and neither the most edible but wow what a catch. Did you know that we catch many species of fish here in New Quay. Once famous for 2.5m long Porbeagle sharks through to some of the most sort after table fish such as bass, this place is a truly special fishery. On our longer trips we can regularly catch over 15 species in a day. What a great place this is. Fancy a longer trip? There is a selection of 4hr and 8hr trips available online to book now. Simply check out our Charter Fishing page for the dates and hit the book now button.

May brings blue skies and great fishing. At last summer seems to be arriving and consequently, we always look forward to this month. With the sea temperature steadily rising, things (i.e. fish) are on the move and the fishing can be amazing. Any day now the Mackerel will turn up and by the end of May we will be concentrating on fishing for them but for now we are largely bait fishing for the monsters of the deep. Look at the pleasure on this young mans face! He's caught a monster ssshhaaark!
3 May 2024
Here's a thing, we regularly catch monster crabs whilst on our fishing trips. Especially at this time of year as this is the time for running our famous 'reef and bait' trips. The name says it all. We cruise out to one of our secret reefs and drop baited hooks down to the sea bed. And we never know what is going to come up, that is the excitement of fishing at this time of year. The #whatsitgoingtobe question. This weekend its the first May bank holiday, we can't wait; can you?
23 April 2024
Are you a team of anglers that fancy an epic fishing trip? Or perhaps you are just yourself and wish to join a share group trip chasing some of Cardigan Bay's offshore species? Well there is lots of options available online here. You can surf through each day looking for our longer trips or alternatively check out our social media to see our adverts for trips being available. From reef to bass and to wreck to Tope they are all there!!

Big mouth! Yes we know, which one is the skipper :) This is a fun picture, and fun is what we try to have whilst on an epic fishing trip. For sure, we can knuckle down and fish hard when needs be but we do always try to make our fishing trips a fun experience. We are holding a big bull huss in this picture. They are always a wrestle and really are an impressive fish (shark!) to catch. Happy customer here.

What a great Easter week we had. With largely calm seas and even some fleeting glimpses of the sun, much fishing fun was had by all. Our fishing customers had a ball and holiday memories were made by all. Look at this young lady, so proud of her monster spider crab catch. We think that shell remember this for ever and that is the beauty of being epic! Great memories

Bull Huss on the boat! This has got to be a moment of a lifetime for this young lad. Never to be forgotten and we think that's exactly what happens on one of our fishing trips... lifetime memories made here. Children these days have their lives filled with many things but most are swiftly forgotten.. catching a shark like this will never be forgotten!
1 March 2024
It will not be long now until this happens again. We can not wait! Until the mackerel appear we will be dropping bait down to the sea bed and chasing the many fish species of Cardigan Bay. During early season the choice eating fish is the Whiting and the Codling and we catch loads of them. Fancy a chance of your own caught Cod and chips for tea..? Well you now know where to come!
15 February 2024
We are blessed with some of the most prolific Bull Huss filled waters in the UK. These sharks - yup they are true sharks - are huge fun to catch (and even more fun to wrestle with once caught. They are possible to catch all summer long but its spring that is the peak of it. We will be chasing these - and Codling, whiting, coalfish etc., from late March. Easily and commonly caught on our 2hr bait fishing trips, its truly worth considering them a target species.

Happy Christmas everyone

Any guesses who the guy is and what the fish is.. We'll help you out. The fish is GT or Giant Trevally and yup that is a young skipper Tim. We thought we'd make the point that Tim is an angler through and through, always has been and always will be. And that is what you get with Epic. Years of experience and expertise shared to all, every trip, every day all season long. If you are going to fly, fly with someone who know what they are doing. And if you are going to fish...

Its fast approaching the end of our fishing season. Firstly may we pass on our sincere thanks to all of our customers of this year. We have loved having you all aboard Legend of New Quay fishing with us. What a total pleasure its been. We will of course look forward to welcoming you back next year. Trips will start again as of late March/early April and will be available online very soon. Thank you one and all :)

Have you ever eaten a whiting? If not then you should really make it a must do. They are a lovely eating fish and particularly so here in Cardigan bay where they run big and fat and full of flavour. There is a commercial prawn fishery here that runs all winter long and guess what the whiting like to feed on? So much so that the locals here refer to the whiting having a pink sheen to their flesh...now I wonder why that is! Come out with us next spring when the whiting are feeding and catch your own. You will not be disappointed.

Its a perfectly fair criticism of Epic that we do always catch big fish for customers. We don't and we are perfectly happy to admit that. Lets face it, the sea is full of fish of all shapes and sizes and we are always going to catch a mixed bag. It is worth remembering that for some folk even a small fish is a great catch. If you have never caught a shark before, such as this Gent, then a small shark is still a whoop whoop moment. So if you fancy your own whoop whoop moment then why not come and catch a small fish... just make it one you have never caught before!
15 September 2023
As the sun rises over New Quay the sun is beginning to set on our epic fishing trips for another season. Our first thought is a huge shout out thanks to all that joined us this season. If you missed us then don't worry we will be back next year. And there may well be a last minute trip that you can jump on through late Sept and October. Drop us an email through our contact us page and we'll always try to help.
