Hi all
have been thinking recently about getting a small boat for some summer inshore fishing and i know that i need some advice and guideance.
I am looking to mainly fish between Dover and Dymchurch on the south coast and off Folkestone where i live and at the moment have so many questions i don't quite know where to start.
I am only looking at a small boat as it will have to be kept in a garage when not in use as most mooring fees i have asked about seem quite high, as i am only looking to fish a few hundered yards ofshore what sort of length boat should i be looking at ? would 15 ft be o.k, and what safety equipment should i be looking at i think i should have lifevests and flares but what about a radio would a handheld be o.k and what about learning boat handling/safety and would i need insureance of somesort.
Well thats about it for now all help/advice gratefully recived.
Thanks Mouse.
