Thinking of Getting a Fishing Boat? Watch this...

[@hog8035]

What an amazingly eloquent and interesting bloke, Great video

[@bigsilewis3660]

My dad used to run what was The Sheffield Arms Hotel in Newhaven in the 70s.

[@TheTimbo147]

We already know your fantastic knowledge Graham but can I just say what a thorough commentary from Chris and such an ambassador for Newhaven fishing community I wish we had such an encouraging club where I live in West Wales. We have fantastic fishing grounds but no investment. But once again a huge Thank you to Chris for such an honest and thorough insite into what is possible with community support and investment. Thank you both.

[@zindi1138]

i remember one time i went fishing at Neskonlith lake..BC Canada..where bear creek runs into the lake..i used a bobber and worm, let out line for over 100 yards..looking at my reel i realized i better start bringing it back and BANG ! got a 2 pound lake trout..later on i was having lunch off a tiny fire..and it was really good..this was 1981...just a memory i had.. and an idea i had that actually worked ! lol

[@jus4funtim]

Personally I think the drain plug/bung should be installed from the inside of the boat, so if I ever comes lose it will still be in the boat. also if the bilge pump gives out you can drain the water out of the boat by removing the plug while driving forward faster than 10 knots

[@chrisdavison2022]

How about a part 2? Buying (pitfalls, what to look for etc), maintaining and the running costs of a boat?

[@Alec-ph8kh]

Seconded

[@colinmitchell9212]

That would be a good video to do Greame.

[@Oldcastle1066]

This would be awesome

[@woden20]

Nobody would be buying one then. lol A Rolls Royce is cheaper to run, but i'd never be without one, it's a passion you can't buy.

[@philhorton1827]

Can I third that

[@as400techman]

That bought back memories of fishing out of Newhaven with my Dad in the 1960s from a catamaran called Lisa-James and Silver Mist before that. Happy days. Rhubarb & Custard? Dad made pirks out of stainless pipe filled with lead. I still have some and his conger club badge.

[@garrysceppa7508]

Your are legendary I’m from Boston Massachusetts lived next to the harbor we grew up fishing and boating and camping so your channel and your sons cover all my dreams your brilliant I’ve learned so much from you both .

[@southieal]

Boston

[@Injudiciously]

I used to work on the electrics of those suckers... Loved watching this. The call is strong!

[@SMASHFISHING]

Can’t beat a good old boat for fishing 🎣

[@spittz3939]

YESSS mid-week upload!! Can't beat it ;)

[@philldownes8685]

The hull of the raider is old now. it goes back to the Shetland 498.. the raider hull was actually taken from a shetland Blackhawk and then raised the sides up a bit... nicely set up boat

[@jakecollins9181]

Hello mate I’m 12 and I just got a boat for Xmas and I have been abased with your vids thanks very much there very helpful for me keep doing your amazing.

[@geffthebricky]

Hi Graeme. Excellent advice, if anyone out there is thinking of taking the plunge and buying a boat watch this video until you understand every point that is mentioned. I have made every mistake pointed out here and a few more to boot.

[@downandoutinparadisepanama1936]

Same here.

[@Tympan]

This bloke should have his own channel. He’s a star.

[@real_wakawaka]

lol he does on YT ;) saw him yesterday on his channel from a while back fishing on a dingy out to sea with a motor.

[@daddyjoemakesit1412]

Please make another video like this but involving slightly bigger boats, like the Starfish 8 or Starfish 10, but also talk about what licences are needed for owners, Captain/ Skipper. plus requirements for taking and charging day anglers. there are so many Videos for the US or Aus but nothing good for the UK . thanks

[@LS-vl6zd]

Absolutely brilliant. Thoroughly enjoyed this.

[@philfish6619]

fist thing to look for with alot of boats water ingress and spongy floors. thanks for the video great stuff

[@80ajflores]

Ever since I laid it on your Channel I have feeling in love with your boat. I live in South Texas in the US. I've been looking around for about like yours but it seems that I only see them in the UK.

[@imeeky_4635]

Boat fishing is great once you’re out but be prepared for everything else that comes with it, launching retrieving list goes on

[@lachlanoneil8938]

It's pretty simple depending on where you live, just buy a smaller aluminium boat like 4.5-5.5 meter

[@southieal]

Or just get a mooring at the yacht club

[@craignash4736]

Hey Gramne. Very very good video ,never owned a boat and that was so informative,could have listened to him for hours....thanks so much !! Craig. Pa. Guy

[@jeffvw1994]

One thing you see with the rollers on the trailers is people unhook the boat and only have a loose line, then they back down and sometimes the boat comes off while still on the pavement.

[@simonknox5580]

Great video Graeme. I’m local to Newhaven & fished with Chris on Seaford beach back in the 90’s. My mate has a boat in that yard so hopefully catch up with Chris again this year 🎣

[@JackPhillipsBraunton]

Lots of very useful ideas and tips there. One of your most useful and interesting videos.

[@brentweigelt5365]

Picked up a number of excellent Info/tips!!! Thanks Graeme!!!

[@swimadamswim]

Graham really enjoyed this. Perfect for the intro to boats and fishing and have made contact with Chris on their group Facebook page. Cheers and wishing you and the family a Happy Easter 👍

[@BEN10TO10]

I would love to see a video of you launching and recovering a boat with that brilliant system.

[@stevenwatson3963]

This man knows his stuff! Great vid, cheers

[@tobybrown1863]

Another great video graham, I always watch your videos brilliant.👍🏼👍🏼🛥🛥🐟🐠🦈🦈

[@TheHonestlySneakyGamer]

needs a bit of mesh to stop fish getting stuck in his outlet of the livewell

[@chefcharlespek6536]

Loved watching your uploads, they contains LOTS of tips and useful materials . and I beginning to increase my catch rates.

[@TAFishing]

Glad the tips help and pleased they are helping increase your catch rate.

[@80ajflores]

The closest I've got to a boat that may look something like yours is a 1972 aristocraft 19 with a removable hardtop but looks really nice. I'm going to restore this thing and hopefully I can make it look as good as your boat

[@muleacrefarm1568]

Always loved these styles of boats. Never really see them here in the states.

[@leowaisanen1672]

I'm reminded of how humorist Pat McManus described the perfect hunting vehicle... any vehicle owned by a friend.

[@sevehrsevehr6001]

@TA Fishing Can you do a video on fishing trawlers. Where to moor them with water and electric ? Converting them to a live aboard ?

[@gravyboat2370]

I'm not a fisherman but I found this an interesting video. 🖒

[@chrissydenham6668]

Smith!! ......Have you put the bung in ?.......

[@kengarratt8681]

Hi interested in the system your friend uses to anchor from the cockpit do you have a vid of anchoring and retrieving using that system cheers Watched a lot of your vids ma and kids love them cheers Ken

[@daveevans7292]

Very knowledgeable guy,thank you

[@Haneix1]

And I thought my kayak was work haha, Graham you are a true commando, keep up the great fishing videos!

[@UnseenSpirit]

What's a good beginner kayak for fishing buddy? I'm based in the UK

[@Haneix1]

@@UnseenSpirit Hmm hasn't been looking at kayaks for a few years now, I have an RTM rytmo, Cornwall Kayaks are a decent seller. In the UK you are going to want something akin to the rytmo, long and stable, the weather is often hardy as you are well aware and anything smaller than 10 foot doesn't really cut it. Good luck

[@TheOutdoorlife78]

Great video buddy! Lots of top information here.

[@dl6261]

Excellent video. Great tips

[@lynnwest9781]

WHAT A GREAT ANGLER ANGLERS. I HAVE JUST STARTED FISHING AFTER A BREAK OF 16 YEARS. LOVE THE VIDEOS. ONCE A ANGLER ALLWAYS A ANGLER . COULD YOU GIVE ME A LIST OF WATERS YOU FISH. I AM FROM LEICSTER. MANY THANKS

[@pat6715]

great video graeme, that bit at 12:50 about mackerel dying if you handle them with your hands is just a fishermans tail. i bass fish on the east coast and use live macks n never bother useing a cloth im to busy catching fish lol and they can stay alive for hrs if the bass are'nt feeding n not once have i pulled one up with a hand print on it or ever seen it... supriseing how many people believe it tho but its just a case of people repeating what they hear

[@TAFishing]

Yeah,I don't believe it either.I have used loads of mackerel for marlin fishing and sometimes they put them back in the main livebait storage tanks and get them out again the next day.If the marlin are on the bite though they certainly don't survive well !!

[@peteon4wheels627]

Very good info as always mate thanks.

[@AmatuerEnthusiast]

Great video! I actually live in Newhaven and used to work on Denton Island next to the Sea Angling club.

[@richardgiles2484]

Really good video guys and sounds like a very nice club to belong too.

[@damianowens5066]

Great video Graham, sadly I've given up on small boats a lot of hassle for more often than not small rewards, instead I've got into charter fishing mainly with a mutual friend Kev Mckie (size matters) the is something quite comforting about being on a 45ft long boat with a very experienced skipper at the helm! 😉👍

[@TAFishing]

Small boats are hassle,but when it all goes right and you do it all on your own it really is the ultimate satisfaction. Its the towing/launching/retrieve etc that takes the edge off it. Last year I stayed out overnight in the boat then went sharking at dawn.It was worth the effort just to have done that,plus I got sharks as well.Just got to pick the right weather slot. I've had 3 different species over 100lbs in my 17-footer,I'd like to get a 4th .

[@real_wakawaka]

I use navionics now. no need for gps as navioncis app is free on mobile but pay £30 a year but for whole of uk and constantly updated with everything. tide, wind, sea, sonar mapping the whole shabang.

[@perrynio]

(Hand raised) Smith here Sir from the back of the class. Your latest video has inspired me to upgrade my dinghy 'Seaweed' so named because that's mainly what I catch. How much do you want for your boat and how much will you take from my pocket money to swab down the deck?

[@VALIS538]

Surprised you didn’t do a spot in seafood used to be the place the be a few years ago

[@henryflanery6192]

Good seeing you sir have a grate year to you and as well as Mike.

[@davidhall4914]

So Mr P have you now sorted your anchor warp out, so yo can retreive from the cockpit, I did mention this before on one of your trips. Great video, keep up the good work.

[@DavidWilliams-r9l]

Great information. Thanks!

[@uliman100]

Instead of cable ties for your anchor trip use soft uncoated steel wire... Firstly it degrades quickly unlike the plastic cable ties that end up staying in the ocean for years...

[@johnhanson535]

Very informative and interesting video

[@Jollyboysbass]

I just got myself a seahog, sealord so I really enjoyed seen the bait board, hook remover etc 👍 have you anymore videos or pictures of boat layouts, thanks 🍀

[@TAFishing]

You could look up the layout of my 17-foot Wilson flyer layout in previous film,I made storage shelf under the steering column,and storage shelves over the hull tunnels in the cabin.

[@Jollyboysbass]

@@TAFishing brilliant, thanks very much 👌

Are they hassle? I live in Hastings East Sussex. Iam looking to get one soon . Really enjoyed watching you lot fish . Takes the edge off as iam saving up to get new beachfishing setup. And iam chomping at the bit to get out there.

handling mackerel does kill them, not always right away but upto 2 says later

Iv got a 17’ Wilson flyer really need a new trailer can you help me please which one

[@reggie2740]

Loving the channel been watching for quite some time now. Newhaven! Great place to fish (sometimes) Let me know if you are around the area again I will hook you up with some fishing gear not that you probably need it lol. Happy fishing people

[@Lukedormer]

Why do people say there money pits. I’ve had a 15ft river cruiser and apart from abit of paint it don’t cost nothing. Look after engine and there good

[@TheTazmanjump]

As I'm limited on mobility I was wondering , what would you suggest would be a good boat to start with graham ? Thankyou in advance for reply

[@TAFishing]

I wouldn't like to say,there is no such thing as the perfect fishing boat. Might be better to get in touch with a large sea fishing club who has a boat section,more experience from a wide pool of people.

[@Towpathtraveller1693]

That was a very informative video ,excellent thank you

[@vern6573]

Only twice you will be glad of owning a boat, when you buy it & when you sell it ! Saying that I miss my boat.

[@hawkeye1939]

Graeme, i have a question i would love your input on,, i currently have a speed boad in bad shape with a oldish johnson 90hp on it. well i want rid of the boat but wanted to know, do you think your wilson would take the weight of a johnson 90?? i love your boat and is ideal for me, but to save money it would be handy to use the johnson?? responce would be greatly recieved. love your stuff. please like so Graeme can see. all the best scot

[@TAFishing]

A 90 would be a big old lump on a 17-Foot Wilson for sure. I was told by Brian Wilson (the maker) that he advised that 50 to 70 would be fine,which is why I went halfway and got a 60 4-stroke Yam. Maybe someone out there has a 90 on a Wilson and can tell you how it fares.

[@hawkeye1939]

Thanks Graeme yea was thinking maybe a bit big, but it is a lovely outboard that i spent a lot of time doing up so think will do a bit more research for a boat that will take it if the wilson flyer cant, do like the flyer tho

[@George-xo1jy]

Great informative vid

[@andyrose724]

Hey Graeme/Mike. I’ve watched your videos for a number of months now and am somewhat ‘hooked’ if you’ll pardon the pun! My question is, would you guys be willing to either reply to me personally or do a video with what I would need to start out? I’m not looking to spend hundreds. I’m just keen to get out there and get started and don’t have anything except an EA Licence application and would really value your advice as I love the show and you have such a wealth of experience Graeme. I’d really appreciate it if you could get back to me would welcome anything you could advise me on. Love the show!

[@brynmitchell5774]

Bust Out Another Thousand

[@allgood6535]

Scooner with an engine 😂

[@brettcox8143]

Ok great video but I have a question I have been unable to find an answer to. I have just purchased a 16ft console boat. I need to get an anchor setup. I am good with anchor weight, chain length and gauge and I understand the 2 or 3 times depth for rope length to give the correct scope BUT I don’t know what kind of depths I will anchor at. I guess not too far from shore but I would rather have too much than not enough especially if it needed in an emergency. What length would suit??

[@markaldridge9655]

look at the sea charts for the areas you wish to fish that will give the mean lowest tide then add the highest spring tide to give an idear of lenght of rode or chain

[@brettcox8143]

Understood but it’s a trailered but and I wanted the flexibility to hitch it up and drive. For example I was curious what length of rode Graham had on high sea drifter as some kind of benchmark. I am actually based in Plymouth so mostly I will be anywhere from say Torbay down to Falmouth.

[@vincentmckenna281]

I would love one.but suffer from sea sickness , even on a canal boat .Any body out there got any remedies to prevent it
