Hi guys, im new here, live in clacton essex and have been beach fishing all my life.
Thinking about splashing out and getting a boat for the kids to enjoy with me as they grow, and would appreciate any tips or advice you have as i start out.
Ive not got.anything yet, and wont for a couple of months whilst i save some more, bt should have about 5k to play with.
Looking forward to getting stuck in and helping out anyone wih questions on beach fishing.
Thanks
Chris.

Is this forum alive anymore or have i walked into a ghost town? Hi Chris. I'm a new member myself. I own a Predator 160 16 footer had it for about 4 years. I trailer it up to Scotland for a weeks fishing every year. Don't know what size of boat you're thinking of getting but before you do I would take the RYA powerboat level 2 course and also the marine vhf radio course. My boat has a 50hp motor which is not quite big enough for more than 2 people , I do fish with 4 people although I just pootle along using only about 12 litres of fuel for a full days fishing. Lots of you tube videos on boat handling , maintenance etc. 5K should get you something descent for a 1st time boat , try and get one fully equipped with radio ,depth sounder and chart plotter included. Cheers Chris G |
