cheers guys and thanks, Alan, I'll bring jim over but it will probably be after i've finished the ground floor of the house (probably end of next year)

 

Norrie, as long as you don't mind me having to go home after both sessions, I'll do the two days. The missus and I are doing up an old church and we've booked that week for some serious decorating, so I've got some limits on what I can do.

 

can you give me an idea as to what gear I'll need, will a fixed spool reel do (my sea reel takes 200 -250 yards of 20lb line I think), what rod should I get and what range of hooks weights line strengh etc?

 

sorry but though i sea fish quite a lot the only boat fishing I've done is for Tuna where all the gear is provided.

[Norrie]

Phil, Of course you can travel home at night, the B+B is not obligatory mate...tho' you might miss some fun, and Nick buying a round... As far as gear goes, dont worry about it, I can give you a rod and reel that will fit the bill,no use you buying gear when it may not be used again for a while....so dont worry about anything except warm waterproof clothing, and wellies. oh, and a big (as we say in Scotland) piece....thats sarnies to you mate....

Suppose there's no point bringing a 12lb outfit with me then

[Norrie]

Not really John, more like 20lb stuff,minimum, I think we are after fairly big cod on wrecks lying in about 100 or so foot of water....with 12oz to 1lb pirks,and large Leadheads.

Phil as Norrie says dont worry about the gear I will also bring a full 20/30 Lb outfit extra for you if you need it. This style of fishing is relatively new to several of us so we will all learn together, look forward to meeting you.

When Norrie was having a wee sleep on Sunday I caught us about 25 mackeral as bait so dont worry about bait either.

 

Ps Blackvelvet And Snatcher are you interested.

[jeepster]

Jeepster we said we would look for 8 but would take one or two more rather than disappoint somebody, as I see it if you are number 8. Confirm you are are deffinate and we look forward to seeing you. Ps if you need gear let us know.
