This is a sea angling forum for the debate of all angling related topics, including: shore fishing, boat and kayak fishing. Here you will find pictures of anglers going sea fishing and catching fish. You will find angling related debate. Sometimes anglers will retain fish for the table. Whilst we respect the personnal choice of anglers to follow catch and release practices, this is not a conservation forum and devout conservationists unable to accept anglers sensibly retaining fish should seek out alternative forums. Anyone preaching catch and release or criticising other peoples reports will have their posts removed.

Boat Fishing Question - Rigs, Tips, Tactics
« on: July 12, 2008, 10:13:53 AM »
This question was asked by Wedster in the charter boats section. Ive moved it here as it will get a better response.

I am coming down with Northumbria Police on Tuesday 15th. They have a couple of boats booked for an internal competition.  I was interested to know if there are any tips to methods, rigs and baits that should be used.  I am very new to this style of fishing, but have done some wreck fishing in the past.  Will the fishing be solely over wrecks or will the Skippers move us about.

Regards Wedster.

In answer from our recent trip,

A lot of the boats appeared to be concentrating on the closer in wrecks and ground as on our trip there were plenty of boats all within a couple of miles of the shore.We fished in about 140 ft depth and our skipper grafted to keep us over fish moving from wreck to wreck as the fish dried up he moved.
The tactics that produced most for us during the strongest part of the tide was shads fished on a trace about 4 ft long with a 6-8 oz plain lead simple but very effective.At the slackest part of the tide then a single squid bait held out over the wreck whilst the boat drifted produced a fair number of fish also.
Jiggers and pirks baited with mackeral also gave instant takes from ling.
Hokais were a dead loss as there were so many mackeral about you couldn t get through them to try for anything deeper down.
The blue mackeral pattern shads worked for me best ,I fished a very light jerk bait rod and 20lb braid to 6 oz leads and just bumped the shad off the bottom for most of my fish.
Hope that helps a little , sure some of the festival lads will have some input also.

Cheers Jellyworm.
