stormrider8 59 Posted May 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2009 thats some great fishing there mate, how much did the trip cost buddy? That one was a fourty mile trip which is £50 thats mid channel fishin, Worth every penny mate! but you can pay from £35up depending on what you want to do. The fishing has really took a turn for the better down here so far, i just hope its a sign of things to come Quote Link to post
redeye jedi 39 Posted May 24, 2009 Report Share Posted May 24, 2009 id pay £50 to catch a cod like that any day. too many skippers now days take your money and dont bother trying to find you the best fish. i wonder how some of these amature skippers manage to keep there bookings coming in. think i'll get my name down for that boat in a few weeks.

stormrider8 59 Posted May 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2009 I think most of the skipprs try for the fish mate ,its just the fish just aint there anymore. They want you to catch the fish for there own sake!! Quote Link to post

They want you to catch the fish for there own sake!! ive been on too many boats with skippers that lose interest as soon as the boat is slipped from the harbour. but ive also been on boats where the skipper works his arse off and you can see the look of dissapointment in his eyes if your not catching. i now only go out with skippers that i know or get recommended buy friends. and yes i agree mate the fish are getting so hard to come buy in our waters. i know of a skipper that leaves whitby starting in september thatgoes over to scandanavia for 5 days cod fishing its absolutely awsome. £400 for 5 days and the cod are monsters.

stormrider8 59 Posted May 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2009 Sounds crackin mate, how long do you spend steaming? Id be right up for that.. Quote Link to post
redeye jedi 39 Posted May 25, 2009 Report Share Posted May 25, 2009 Sounds crackin mate, how long do you spend steaming? Id be right up for that.. you steam for a fair time untill you reach the fishing grounds, but this is the time to get some sleep cause when your there its none stop, and i do mean none stop fishing average size cod are 15-20lb, you can expect 150-200 stone of fish in the 4 days. the fish is gutted, cleaned and boxed in ice and even filletted for you if you wish.

stormrider8 59 Posted May 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2009 Nice mate, when you say get your head down is it everyone bundles in the wheel house and tries to sleep or can you lie down. I do the Aldernay trip every year and on the way over everyone tries to sleep, last year i was curled up on the live eel tank, nightmare!! What size boat is it? Quote Link to post
redeye jedi 39 Posted May 27, 2009 Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 no mate its a proper job, its an ex naval fleet boat or something like that, its 80ft long loads of bunks, a lounge area, proper showers the lot. im going to get a trip booked up soon. once i find the phone number. lol.

pointer 543 Posted May 29, 2009 Report Share Posted May 29, 2009 wasnt there a feature done about this boat in Sea Angler a few years ago? It sounds great but ill have to settle for wreck fishing trips for now.I should be getting out in the next week or two from Hartlepool.This year ill be making sure i have enough bait as twice last year the mackeral werent around and bait got scarce,i ended up having to use the whiting and pouting that were being caught.It was frustrating watching lads who had brought enough mackeral with them hauling out good sized ling on baited pirks.
