Not quite shore fishing or boat fishing, tried this for the first time yesterday. Hired out 2 yaks from that new place in north shields, it was a fantastic way to fish and would highly recommend it to anyone who is wanting to give it a shot. Cost just as much as a decent shore session. - will definitely be getting out again in the near future. We got a shed load of makie and my mate hauled in a good size pollock.

It was a cracking session 18 between us including a gurnard i have just had to looked it up not sure if they are a common around here? can't wait to get back out and start saving for my own yak
thinking the same
dont want to knock the company ,but what type of safety equipment do you use , your own or is it supplied ie pfd ,dry suit/wet suit , vhf and how far are you allowed to go out
this could get a lot of people interested in kayak fishing

I saw 2 yaks beside Roker Pier yesterday, when coming back from wrecking, was that you Anth ?
nah wasn't me bud i couldn't paddle that far, I went off between tynemouth & s/s pier.
To answer the previous query as regards to safety euipment, I have my own wet suit and they supply life jacket. no radio was supplied but to be honest i wouldn't know how to use it. but each to their own in my opinion, if you feel comfotable using a kayak to fish from go ahead and enjoy it (we both had a cracking time), if not then stay on shore and enjoy your days fishing.
