[not_a_clue_about_fishing]

Hello,

I am thinking about trying a spot of boat fishing. Never been on a boat before and relatively new to fishing altogether. Can anyone recommend a boat that would be canny for a couple of novices???

Thanks

where do you live

most boats are suitable for novices these days just let em know you aint fished before

if you can go thru week some are cheaper,ie NORTH STAR HARTLEPOOL £25 mid week or a bank breaking £30 at weekend.

if you want to go s+++ or bust go for jfk tynemouth or famous out of hartlepool.

other boats are catch 22 out of sunderland or theres warlord out of amble.

there should be plenty of other reccomendations too as i said charter skippers a desperate for trade this year

good luck

you have been given a few, would recommned a short trip first just in case, you could try Mistress out of the Tyne Tony 07743062163 for an evening trip, you have Sapphire's number, he does short trips as well

Try Dougie Hogg out of Craster. Top fella. Our club has six trips booked every summer. The lads won't go anywhere else.

Helpful skippers/mates for newbies to boat fishing :

Amble - Jeff and Duncan on Warlord

North Shields - Tony on Mistress

Hartlepool - Jim on North Star

Whitby - Jim on Charisma or Rich on Mistress.
