Hi Misty,

Deep sea fishing is fantastic but does take a lot of planning.

Usually takes me a week to get everthing right for a trip.You need good waterproof & warm clothing, enough food & drink for the day, bait(some freshmackerell & a box of frozen squid & maybe some ragworms) some skippers will stop to get mackerel on the way out but if they dont you're stuffed. & a packet of storm lures.

Get a selection of sea fishing rigs & some bait elastic. If you havn't got a boat rod, some skippers supply them but I always take a 30lb class rod loaded with 30lb mono.

A selection of leads from 1 1/2 lb down to 80z, bear in mind you can loose tackle on the bottom so spares are essential.
The skipper will have landing nets & will unhook & dispatch your fish for you. I always take a bucket to keep my catch in otherwise they seem to get put into a pool & you might not get your fish back.

Sorry, ran out of space.

An 8 hour trip will be about �50/70 but the last one i did, i came home with �70 worth of fish plus a grand day out.

Take a boots travel sickness pill 1/2 hour before getting on the boat. Agood skipper will go through the safety procedures before setting off. I always wear my own life jacket anyway.

You will need ice and freezer boxes when you get back. The last thing you want to be doing at the end of a long day pumping up fish from 200 feet, is to be cutting up cod with a billhook.

Take the next day off work to do that and recover.

Pm me with any more questions or better still e mail me at

[email protected] as i'm all over the country next week
