Fishing

Post by Excalibur5 »

Just wondered how many of you do a bit of fishing? Did you buy your boats with fishing in mind? I am mad on fishing lake or sea and our 570 seems to handle the costal waters very well. Shame the gunwales are a bit high as i am a short ar#e so fish off the back of the boat. Which shetland is best suited to coastal sea fishing for three people and lots of gear?

use my shetland 570 for fishing out of shoreham. been there 4 years, first had a microplus 500 moored there. just joined the SDSA fishing club . shorehams good, as its not tidal, i like the higher sides of the shetland, nearly got flipped over the side of the microplus in bad weather, so got rid of that, 570 is safer when you are out on your own.alan

Its all I use mine for, the 460 has never done a day at sea without some blood spilt!

Just fishing on the Thames for my 535.
Small, agile and a great size for me and one other to fish.
