famous hartlepool ?

the boat is 1 of the best i have ever been on very spaceous etc but like said if had known that it was going to be full of tourists children etc we would never have gone wen booked thought it was a group of lads and we were just making numbers up as the durham lads did wen they booked on last minute as boat at whitby had let them down due to prop probs we wernt the only ones who were disapointed can give you there phone numbers if want to speak to them .:D[/QUOTE



For your info the two lads and there dad live local,they have the same right as you to fish ,And they did leave with cod unlike you, You had heaviest bag of fish don't think so you only had ling the other lads had cod ,the lad in the back right hand corner had plenty of real fish (cod) and i had 12 cod myself
as for your fishing skills you were using your rod back to front and your reel upside down(BUY A LEFT HANDED REEL) with your 10 or so macky daylights hook point covered with a frozen prawn you must have been waiting for the fish to suck the prawn down ,also how many times were you told by the skipper to stop moving around the boat (poaching) BILL GRAGGS IS HIS NAME BE AWARE ALL CHARTER SKIPPERS HE IS A NIGHT MARE FROM HELL
i feel sorry for your son seems like a canny lad just fished happily away all day

Maybe you should phone Dave up and have a word with him if you have a problem instead of posting on here , I have been on his boat a few times and he has always puts us on the fish every time , at the end of the day u got out and got fish so what's the problem ? Keith .

you guys must be making a packet 1 grand to 2 more a week wish i was i am self employed also are you bill are you self employed or on benefits if doing free labour must declare bud thats the law .
 
if your that good why dont you charter your boat your getting then see where you fish when the drifts far to fast im new to boating but fish rough ground and not the wrecks if the drifts a bit quick been there and a lost loads of gear i think charter boat skippers know how when and where to fish after all its there buisness posts like yours dont help them most likely you will lose them buisness well done :mad:

been looking at a charter boat this week to buy but not sure how long will take to get license to take peeps out so if buy probs will miss this season .went out on the famous years ago trawler joe was skipper had huge catches with him believe he has passed away now but apart from him used to fish the esk star nearly every week skipper ian mac n mara and his dad had biggest cod from this boat to date .there were so many boats to choose from years ago had some nice fish from clemmys boat .how things have changed today.:D

your right im self employed (nothing to do with boats) and have been since the day i left school employing a number of folk over the years (paying my taxes ect) ,now taking it a bit easy enjoying my fishing and helping dave as a crew member (great guy and very good friend )good luck with your tickets bill and your charter boat
to the lads and lasses that have had to read this SORRY but i had to put the story right
good fishing every one,think the seasons are getting better year by year
its like going back in time :):)
 
areet bill na good listening to this lot when it comes to being a perfect angler,i had the same problem a few year back,and the boat was wildcard i said what i wanted to him about trip and still got slagged off on hear.and i got charged for a platium trip which was s''t.but as you said you have a opion wether this lot like it or not.you get it off your chest m8 say what you want.not every one has a good experience when out on a charter boat.

im sure you like causing trouble on here all your posts are negative all the time when you book a charter boat you CANNOT gaurentee catching fish bill voiced his opinion so why keep dragging it on i have had loads of bad experiances on charter boats but i have had loads of amazing times which always outweigh the bad times at the end of the day its all down to luck i dont go slandering charter boats because at the end of the day they work non stop to keep people happy surely once they are allowed an off day

my posts were only negative on this topic not all time as if you wish to take a good look as for dragging it on you just have my posting on it i think everyone needs to just ignore this thread and let it die a death now freedom of speech end of.
 
The thing is lads if the wind is not right and the tide is not right you struggle on the wrecks (as we know),last week we marked some wrecks 100% with 1 cod for 3 wrecks we moved back to mark x and bang fish on, Tuesdays tides 5.1 we all know cod like movement so skipper found the fish,Even us lads with over 40 years exp would have struggled on the wrecks (and not had fish)so all in all,Not a bad day ,All the lads had fish ,The morral of the story when the fish are on the wrecks and weather right you go wrecking,Wonder wot the story would have been if we hit the wrecks all day ?????????????????????????????????

to right matey.:D
 
quality post...............

lots of interesting discussions...

if you want to go fishing and don't have a boat, book a charter, if you like it book it again, if you don't like it, don't book it again,

if we go out and have a s***t day, which we have in the past we try again the next week... as said in previous posts, the skippers know their trade, sometimes they do well and have a good haul, sometimes not

not all trips suit everyone on board..


this site and members should accept that not all posts are positive...

all opinions are important.....

and i like it when the hand bags come out..lol
 
now see what i mean opions and get accused of starting trouble by some numpty who probably can't tie his own shoe laces.it seems to me that this trouble maker aka myself thought this lad was getting a little trouble from you lot ,about him having a opion about his day.and as for my posts if you find them negative don't read them muppet i have'nt got your arm up your back and forcing you to end of.

What do you know about boat fishing absolutely zilch all your posts are about fresh water fish infact my smallest cod is probs bigger than u have ever caught in your life i Dont see any good posts from you all you do is wind people up like your coments above if you have a provlem with me pm me instead of makin yourself look stupid like you already have oh and how many boats have you owned before slandering other boats get one and yet for your pathetic self
