Please make another video like this but involving slightly bigger boats, like the Starfish 8 or Starfish 10, but also talk about what licences are needed for owners, Captain/ Skipper. plus requirements for taking and charging day anglers.

i remember one time i went fishing at Neskonlith lake..BC Canada..where bear creek runs into the lake..i used a bobber and worm, let out line for over 100 yards..looking at my reel i realized i better start bringing it back and BANG ! got a 2 pound lake trout..later on i was having lunch off a tiny fire..and it was really good..this was 1981...just a memory i had.. and an idea i had that actually worked ! lol

jeff vw - 5 years ago

One thing you see with the rollers on the trailers is people unhook the boat and only have a loose line, then they back down and sometimes the boat comes off while still on the pavement.

TA Fishing - 5 years ago

Small boats are hassle,but when it all goes right and you do it all on your own it really is the ultimate satisfaction. Its the towing/launching/retrieve etc that takes the edge off it. Last year I stayed out overnight in the boat then went sharking at dawn.It was worth the effort just to have done that,plus I got sharks as well.Just got to pick the right weather slot. I've had 3 different species over 100lbs in my 17-footer,I'd like to get a 4th .

Hi Graeme. Excellent advice, if anyone out there is thinking of taking the plunge and buying a boat watch this video until you understand every point that is mentioned. I have made every mistake pointed out here and a few more to boot.

Hey Graeme/Mike. I’ve watched your videos for a number of months now and am somewhat ‘hooked’ if you’ll pardon the pun! My question is, would you guys be willing to either reply to me personally or do a video with what I would need to start out? I’m not looking to spend hundreds. I’m just keen to get out there and get started and don’t have anything except an EA Licence application and would really value your advice as I love the show and you have such a wealth of experience Graeme. I’d really appreciate it if you could get back to me would welcome anything you could advise me on. Love the show!

Vincent Mckenna - 5 years ago

@Koray Erten I will try some .I've never been has I'll in my life, I was curled up in wheel house being sick lol

Koray Erten - 5 years ago

Vincent Mckenna I get it as well when I’m out on the wrecks! I find that once you get it out of you, everything is fine after that! Other alternative is to get motion sickness tablets from your pharmacy or Boots if you’re in the UK

pat6715 - 5 years ago

great video graeme, that bit at 12:50 about mackerel dying if you handle them with your hands is just a fishermans tail. i bass fish on the east coast and use live macks n never bother useing a cloth im to busy catching fish lol and they can stay alive for hrs if the bass are'nt feeding n not once have i pulled one up with a hand print on it or ever seen it... supriseing how many people believe it tho but its just a case of people repeating what they hear

TA Fishing - 5 years ago

Yeah,I don't believe it either.I have used loads of mackerel for marlin fishing and sometimes they put them back in the main livebait storage tanks and get them out again the next day.If the marlin are on the bite though they certainly don't survive well !!

Scot Graham - 5 years ago

Graeme, i have a question i would love your input on,, i currently have a speed boad in bad shape with a oldish johnson 90hp on it. well i want rid of the boat but wanted to know, do you think your wilson would take the weight of a johnson 90?? i love your boat and is ideal for me, but to save money it would be handy to use the johnson?? responce would be greatly recieved. love your stuff.
please like so Graeme can see.
all the best
scot

Scot Graham - 5 years ago

Thanks Graeme yea was thinking maybe a bit big, but it is a lovely outboard that i spent a lot of time doing up so think will do a bit more research for a boat that will take it if the wilson flyer cant, do like the flyer tho

TA Fishing - 5 years ago

A 90 would be a big old lump on a 17-Foot Wilson for sure. I was told by Brian Wilson (the maker) that he advised that 50 to 70 would be fine,which is why I went halfway and got a 60 4-stroke Yam. Maybe someone out there has a 90 on a Wilson and can tell you how it fares.

Course Fishing Challenge - 5 years ago

Ok great video but I have a question I have been unable to find an answer to. I have just purchased a 16ft console boat. I need to get an anchor setup. I am good with anchor weight, chain length and gauge and I understand the 2 or 3 times depth for rope length to give the correct scope BUT I don’t know what kind of depths I will anchor at. I guess not too far from shore but I would rather have too much than not enough especially if it needed in an emergency. What length would suit??

Course Fishing Challenge - 5 years ago

Understood but it’s a trailered but and I wanted the flexibility to hitch it up and drive. For example I was curious what length of rode Graham had on high sea drifter as some kind of benchmark. I am actually based in Plymouth so mostly I will be anywhere from say Torbay down to Falmouth.

mark aldridge - 5 years ago

look at the sea charts for the areas you wish to fish that will give the mean lowest tide then add the highest spring tide to give an idear of lenght of rode or chain

as400techman - 5 years ago

That bought back memories of fishing out of Newhaven with my Dad in the 1960s from a catamaran called Lisa-James and Silver Mist before that. Happy days. Rhubarb & Custard? Dad made pirks out of stainless pipe filled with lead. I still have some and his conger club badge.

TA Fishing - 5 years ago

I wouldn't like to say,there is no such thing as the perfect fishing boat. Might be better to get in touch with a large sea fishing club who has a boat section,more experience from a wide pool of people.

(Hand raised) Smith here Sir from the back of the class. Your latest video has inspired me to upgrade my dinghy 'Seaweed' so named because that's mainly what I catch. How much do you want for your boat and how much will you take from my pocket money to swab down the deck?
