yak fishing

[anthdunn]

Not quite shore fishing or boat fishing, tried this for the first time yesterday. Hired out 2 yaks from that new place in north shields, it was a fantastic way to fish and would highly recommend it to anyone who is wanting to give it a shot. Cost just as much as a decent shore session. - will definitely be getting out again in the near future. We got a shed load of makie and my mate hauled in a good size pollock.

thinking the same
dont want to knock the company ,but what type of safety equipment do you use , your own or is it supplied ie pfd ,dry suit/wet suit , vhf and how far are you allowed to go out
this could get a lot of people interested in kayak fishing

I saw 2 yaks beside Roker Pier yesterday, when coming back from wrecking, was that you Anth ?

nah wasn't me bud i couldn't paddle that far, I went off between tynemouth & s/s pier.

To answer the previous query as regards to safety euipment, I have my own wet suit and they supply life jacket. no radio was supplied but to be honest i wouldn't know how to use it. but each to their own in my opinion, if you feel comfotable using a kayak to fish from go ahead and enjoy it (we both had a cracking time), if not then stay on shore and enjoy your days fishing.
