Will give Achates a go sometime this year then I did look at the website and think about booking last year but didn\'t get round to it.

Might see you in March then Jason

i personally am a tyne convert , fished whitby loads of times, very over rated i now fish on the sarah jfk. brilliant skipper great fishing and a hell of a lot cheaper and better fishing than whitby.
it is also just as quick if not quicker to get from wakefield to newcastle as it is to whitby .

R U from Wakefield then ?
I have to rely on Public Transport at the mo, so for me to get from Pontefract (well, Knottingley really) to Newcastle it takes about 2 hours Max going vis Leeds.
For me to get to Whitby it takes at least 3 hours

I quite fancy going on JFK, but does he take Individuals out ? I ask as I mainly have to go out on my own - but hopefully all that will change as I have started a sea angling club up in the Wakefield (Five Towns) area.
Being a North East (Shields) lad I would much prefere to go out from the Tyne

how do you get to whit by for 7 in the morning or do you stay over night (all adding to the cost).

Yup - I stop over. Only £15.00 a night ! And they have a freezer to keep the fish in

11 of us had a charter on Achates in November uptiding just off shore near the North cardinal buoy. Caught almost nothing. Half way through the day he moved the boat - about 20 yards, after which we caught absolutely nothing, nix. This despite him telling us on the phone \"It\'s been fishing its b*ll*cks off\".

I\'ve my own views on how honest some charter skippers can be - ask yourself, are they likely to tell you the fishing\'s rubbish and risk a no-show by a crew?

i think this is russ (achates ) first winter uptiding. have been out with him in the summer. A slow boat but seats all down one side and he has always put us onto the fish.

kenny , i live in crofton just outside wakefield . i said in an earlier post that our club had folded . we had six trips booked on the jfk , i rang alan skinner(skipper of sarah jfk ) to tell him and he asked if i was still prepared to go fishing with a couple of mates and he would make the numbers up on those trips with lads from the tyne area . so we still get to go fishing hooray !!! if you want to e mail me with your phone number i will keep u in mind for these trips , as he asked for 3 of us to go and there might only be 2 can make it !
