Sea fishing in the UK is a very popular tradition and activity. With charter boats in almost every port around the UK it is a brilliant way for people to get sea fishing from a boat. With the right skipper and the right boat it can also be a wonderful introduction to deep sea fishing and a way to learn. Here my friends and I fishing with arguably the best skipper in the West of Cornwall, Robin Chapman on his boat Bite adventures. We fish several locations throughout the day and catch some amazing fish.

Back here in Aus, you can bring your own gear, but if you pay for a spot on the boat its the same price, boat provides the gear for you. A lot of charters here now are catch and release, but they are serious sports fish that stretch you and your gear to the limits, big samson fish, Amber Jacks. fast growers like Tuna, Mahi Mahi are not as heavily limited.

Your charter was much less chaotic than the one I've been on. Went out for albacore, and the boat was packed (10-15 people), and we stood shoulder to shoulder, and side stepped around the back of the boat as we reeled in our catches. My favorite part was the ride back. It looks much more fun with a small group.

Great day in the life of charter fishing. Always good to go out on a boat that is so experienced and is willing to pass on important information on catching different species on different marks and to explain to the novice the do's and don'ts. You know it is good when everyone is smiling when they return with new PB's. That's what you call a complete fishing outfit. All the best to you, the skipper, and all who enjoyed the day with you.

A really great advertisement for charter boat fishing. It was good to see that the skipper didn't fish and concentrated on helping his clients. Way back when I did a bit of this type of fishing, off Yarmouth with various skippers they all always fished themselves and sold their catch to local fishmongers leaving the paying customers to get on with it as best they could. Times have changed,were any fish kept for the table? Nice to see you got a dogfish.

Which lead to the deaths of everyone aboard his ship and the lifeboat trying to help him.

ive been on charter boats a few times, and ive also worked as a deckhand/greenhorn on a charter boat. it is one of the best things you can experience as a fisherman if you dont have a big boat of your own, and if you get a skipper who knows his stuff it really makes a difference as to what sort of time you have on the vessel, going out with skippers like this is the way to go for anyone who wants to try it, ask around, get recommendations, watch youtube videos like this to find out who the better skippers are and then get your trip booked, will be the best fishing experience youve ever had, this is great content John, thanks to all involved for putting this video together, that was great

Choosing the right charter boat and skipper is very important for the first time. As it can either hook you or put you off. 👍🏻

Some nice fish there guys, and of course the doggies too. And no damage to the gunwales... well done you 'weight watchers'!

John I enjoy seeing the wildlife you encounter on your fishing expeditions as much as I enjoy seeing what you catch and I’ve been wondering if when you’ve been out fishing around UK waters have you ever encountered any albatross?

I have only seen them out in the open Atlantic. Never inshore around the U.K. sadly.

Been following your channel for a little while &, for some reason, shipboard footage @ 10:00+ had me waxing nostalgic about my Gramma, which is unusual coz, as far as I can remember, she never fished from boat b4(thinking maybe she got seasick?) But she was Cracker Jack when it came to shorefishing! During the summertime, maybe btwn late July-early Sept, schools of scad mackerel/juvenile flagtails(opelu=oh-peh-loo) & aholehole(ah-ho-lay-ho-lay) would come in shore to feed/spawn. Growing up, Hundreds of people would congregate dock-side/shoreside & atop rock jetties, for Hours on end! And Gramm was known as one of the best, usually filling up 5gal. bucket in 2.5-3.5hrs.! And being the oldest, she had me to be her "pack mule" when she had caught her fill...NOT like I Really complained about it!-lol. She's been gone, maybe >15+ years but the mental images are Still Crystal! You're doing Very Well, John & James is building up Tons of memories to archive in his video library!...A-L-O-H-A From Hawaii!

Hake is also a very common in Denmark. We call it coal mouth because of the black mouth. The best way to cook it, is on the skin side on a pan with oil and butter :)

@TheFishLocker Жыл бұрын

Hake is not a common capture here. Only in very deep water.

Even here in the US, charters are usually newbie friendly. If you go on a smaller charter, most of the people are more than willing to talk with you on tips and such. Both on smaller and larger one, the mates (they go around helping keep the fish rolling) will be happy to help you. Never fear going on one. If you are in the NE US, I can even suggest a few that would be especially good for newbies.

Yankee Fleet out of Glouster MA is friendly and has many different options of what they go after. Just a little to the North is Eastman's Docks. They have been my favorite and also have many different options.
