Fishing from a Boat?

[Shamo 319]

I am going to do some Sea Fishing this Year from my Boat. I will be doing Wreck and general Mooching about the Coast Line of the South West. I have been Sea Fishing once before in my Life and that was Years ago. It was on a Boat where you hire the Kit and the Boat for the whole Day.

I want to buy my own gear now I have a Boat. Can anyone recommend a cheap set-up for me to be able to go and enjoy different types of Fishing from a Boat. If you go to a Shop they are good at selling you the best gear for them to make a good profit on!

I know nothing about Fishing Gear, makes and models of Rods and Reels are totally foreign to me. Even the Names of some types fo Tackle are foreign. I know what a Float and a Hook and Weight look like, oh and a Swivel...lol. I want a basic Kit that I will use, not that will sit in my Box and rarely ever used. You get the general idea...sorry to go on a bit.

Spend about 20-40£ on a rod no more this will do you fine, shakespeare do some good entry level ones get a 20-30lb class rod.

 

Buy a roll of 20-30lb braid less drag in the water compared to mono

 

Buy a good multiplyer as they are the bit thats doing all the work, somthing like an abu/penn, you will need to spend £100 plus on this, but worth it as cheap ones last a week and then disintegrate.

 

buy a few traces of hokeyes as big as you can find cod ling etc love these, also get some silver bar pirks as well as weights.

 

then go cacth some fish!
