Do's and Don'ts.

Please Read:

Always park your vehicle in a safe recognized parking place.
If you’re boarding the boat early in the morning amongst domestic housing or marinas, keep noise to a minimum so as to not disturb other people.
Wear suitable protective footwear, Wellingtons, or better still steel toe caps. These protect your feet from nasty conger bites.
Aboard the boat, listen to the skipper’s safety introduction carefully and understand what he expects you to do should an emergency occur.
Know exactly where the life jackets are kept.
Never cut bait on the gunnels or decks of the boat. Always use a bait board.
Take care that lead weights do not smash against the boat gunnels and sides when landing fish. Gel coat can easily crack causing hours of hard repair work for the owner.
Place all rubbish in a bin liner. The skipper will have these in place on the boat easily accessible to all. If the skipper does not, ask him to provide one.
Cut all discarded line in to 4in (10cm) lengths and place in the rubbish bag. Discarded line can still tangle birds on the rubbish tip.
Fillet and clean all fish aboard the boat prior to getting back to port. Never gut fish in front of the public alongside the quay or harbour wall.
This only applies to a minority, but if staying in local accommodation, be on your best behavior. Some guesthouses and B & B’s now refuse to take anglers due to previous bad language and disrespect to other residents.
Make sure any tackle left in the vehicle is hidden from view. Give thieves the option and they’ll take it every time. Better still, take it all aboard with you.
