Passengers who choose to fish during their charter may wish to bring equipment suited to the type of fishing they intend to do. The following general information is provided simply as a guide for selecting suitable gear before coming aboard.
We also carry a range of basic tackle on the vessel that passengers may use if needed.
Inshore fishing (Plaice, Bream, Bass)
Many passengers use light to medium‑weight rods in the 6–12lb class with fixed‑spool or small multiplier reels. Lines around 15lb braid are commonly used for good bite detection.
Offshore wrecks and banks (Turbot, Brill, Pollock, Cod, Bass)
For deeper water and stronger tides, passengers often bring 12–20lb class rods with medium‑sized multiplier reels and 30lb braid. Heavier leads (8–12oz) are typically required. Some passengers choose to bring a selection of lures or
fish baits depending on the season.
Anchored wreck and inshore (Cod, Ling, Conger)
Heavier outfits in the 30–50lb class are commonly used when fishing at anchor in stronger tides, particularly where larger species may be encountered.
General guidance
Most passengers prefer to fish as lightly as conditions allow, balancing sport with the need to manage tide and depth.
Terminal tackle
There is a wide range of rigs and methods available online for those wishing to research different approaches. Passengers are welcome to discuss their intended plans when booking, and we can confirm whether their chosen tackle is suitable for the areas we will be visiting.
