This all depends on the type of fishing that you wish to be doing. So it is best to talk to the others you are going fishing with to discuss what species you are going to fish for. You are able to hire the majority of tackle on the boat. To find out about set up and rigs follow the link below.

If you own or can borrow a floatation suit we advise you to wear it. If this is not possible you will need to wear plenty of warm clothing and a set of waterproofs. please remember that even in the summer it is colder out at sea. Also a hat would be advisable as you lose 80% of your body heat through your head.

The fish we catch change with the seasons throughout the year. Our main target species are: Coalfish, Cod, Ling, Pollack, Conger, Mackerel and Whiting from the wrecks, Winter Cod, Dogfish, Bream, Whiting, and Flatfish can be taken on the ground. Some of the more recent catches, and sightings off our Cornish coast, have included: Barracuda, Spanish Mackerel, Sunfish, even Tuna, all which are warm water species so you never know what you might catch or see coming from the depths.

Certainly. But we encourage everyone only to keep what they want to eat. Fish are a becoming a scarce resource and we do not want to conflict with the conservation measures in place to encourage recovery of fish stocks.

This is dependant on the fishing you wish to do. If you want to fish over wrecks for Conger or Ling, you want a smallish tide as it's easier to get your bait to the bottom and get your fish to the boat. If you want to fish in gullies you want a bigger tide as the fish leave the sand banks and move to the gullies.

Firstly you need to phone us to find out if when you wish to fish is clear. You will need to discuss the type of fishing that you wish to undertake and if the tide is right for that day. If you are happy with these details. Collect a deposit from your friends, then confirm your booking by phoning us up and telling us all is okay and send your deposit to us. then all you need to do is look forwards to your days fishing.
