1st time on a boat... Advice

[mick dunn]

You will be going out with Douggie. He has a new boat this season-its quite fast and named after his uncle who passed away.
We go out regular and he is spot on. I take 10 - 12 oz sinkers. Some hockeyes-three hook ones you can get from Boyes. Shads. And sometimes bait to tip off hockeyes. It can be a tackle nightmare so let your lead hit the bottom then get it up--don't let it drag its fatal. I bounce mine along. Clothing-well he has a big cab to chuck stuff in. If its cold and wet you will be glad you took a floatation suit.
There are some toilets as you drive into Craster so have a last minute rain check-follow all advice given-especially sea sick tablets and dont drink night before.

Cheers fellas.
Mrs P definitely ain't invited.
I heard dougies name mentioned so that's probably right.

Really looking forward to getting out as I've not been before. Sea sickness has never been a problem. Been out on boats but never fishing.
Did go round Skye collecting lobster pots about 35 years ago but I was a nipper n it was the biggest adventure of my childhood.

One thing that hasn't been mentioned, footwear. Dougies last boat was always awash, so take some wellies or waterproof boots. Mussels a good bait up there.
Have a good trip.
