Top Notch!

I've been going out on the Sarah JFK for a little while now and have NEVER had a bad days fishing. Alan always seems to be able to find the fish even when other boats are not catchin. One lad had a cod over 32lb on sat and there has been loads of massive ling and pollock. last time i went out had 13 cod to about 6.5lb and a ling of 8lb. One of, if not the best skipper on the tyne. You will not be disapointed. Book up asap.

lol haha i aint gonna be going for the mackeral this time...do you rekn if im jigging ill be in for a few cod and ling?

[AndyJames83]

loads.

I normally use jiggers or baited daylites and i've always done well. theres plenty of macky for bait. just strip it down and hoy it on, if theres plenty use fresh evry drop. i've caught on orange rubber shrimps, twintails and shads before as well. id take a box of squid just in case macky are quiet, a few pirks and a few sets of daylights(Cod and mackerel). Alan can normally sort you out with some cheap daylites but check with him first. As your wreckin make sure you got plenty lead, 14 or 16 oz. I've been ok tho, don't normally loose much.

are you able to hire rods and reels etc.. on the sarah jfk?

I emailed Alan myself a while ago and he said that he can provide tackle (I'm not sure how much he has available) and can also provide lures/bait etc

Best thing would be to ring him and ask him any question you may have - I believe his number is on the site

[AndyJames83]

a think he's got a few. check with him first. I used to borrow one when i first went out im just not sure how many hes got.

i should be booking the sarah jfk within the next couple of days, so do you rekn i could be in for some canny sized ling and cod?, and maybe some pollock aswell?

[AndyJames83]

i was out with alan on friday and got a 8.5lb ling and a few cod . the lad next to me had a 7lb pollock and some really good cod. recently theres been pollock over 10lb. there was a 17lb ling the other day as well. last year me mate had a pb ling of 27lb. The chronicle on thurday had a pic of a lad with a cod of 32lb off skinners boat. i normally come back with loads of 4-5lb fish or a few massive ones. good craic

[henda11]
