Well done getting out on your first trip. It’s a pity about the fishing but there’s a whole season yet to start and enough time before then to get the odds and ends sorted.
Did you launch from Cullercoats?

Where do you launch from pal, seen quite a few out there yesterday.

Hi Mark, yeh, you wouldn't be disappointed with a reiver. Not sure how much they are new, but would guess somewhere around the £5,000 mark, then there's the motor, 50hp is fine and a trailer, £1500 new.
Best buy a second hand one complete between 5-8 grand.
There are quite a few in the Sunderland marina that pop up for sale sometimes, or look on Boats and outboards on the net which could mean a bit traveling, but worth it for the right boat.

I'm based at the Royal Quays now but have launched from Cullercoats a couple of times in the past. I had a couple of hours out on Sunday afternoon when a few other boats were out too. The marina and boat fishing is slowly gearing up again ready for the spring run.

Just wondered if you knew the best place to park after launching at cullercoats. When I was there Saturday I just parked at the main car park overlooking tynemouth beach. But I noticed when we came back in that someone had launched and parked up next to the boat parking area. So wondered if you were allowed to park there.
