@onthedropfishing Жыл бұрын
Hi mate, Beadnell would be a good bet or just further south of that you could launch from Craster harbour. There’s a gate at Beadnell but it’s open most of the time and if not you should be able to get a T38 around it with a little bit of a tip. Hope that helps 👍🎣

Hi mate, welcome to the sport! It’s a great way to fish. I think maybe the wildcat just edges it. Certainly when the motor comes out for it I think it’ll be my fave of the four galaxy’s I’ve used. It’s got loads of deck space and is pretty light for its size. Only thing I miss is an internal hatch on the front. Hope that helps 👍🎣

@onthedropfishing Жыл бұрын
Hi mate, I’m glad you’re enjoying the channel. That’s a tough question but if I had to choose I’d say the wildcat just edges it at the mo. I’ve only used it about four times so I can’t comment on its longevity but I have enjoyed it. The sturgeon fx is also awesome - little bit heavier and a bit longer but I’ve used it for two years and it’s been awesome for me. It’s a really close call though, ask me again next week and it might be the sturgeon that wins! It really is that close. If you do go down the Galaxy route don’t forget the code OTD5 will save you a few quid. Hope that helps 👍🎣

Thanks mate, it was just great to get out. I’ve really enjoyed using the wildcat - it’s a tough call between that and the sturgeon but maybe the wildcat just edges it. I like the extra deck space and it seems a little easier to pedal which doesn’t make sense as it’s wider. Maybe all those trip to the gym starting to pay off!
