    New Boat - Orkney Pilothouse 20

    My 520 is on a trailer & I kept it near the launch hard in a compound. Launch & recovered solo but must admit I reckon at 67 I had only a couple of years of that left so when the PH20 came up - could not resist (will be on a mooring). Putting her up for sale next week on Boats & outboards.

    New Boat - Orkney Pilothouse 20

    Lock down has a lot to answer for. During lockdown I decided to have a small but tricky job which was long overdue done properly on my Orkney 520 "Whitewash". When I dropped her off at Orkney Boats I liked the look of a PH20 they had waiting to go to Scotland. A friend was looking at...

    Charter boat 10/4/21

    The main man checked with the marine insurance company to make sure that our policy of 6 including skipper was compliant & covered. It is. As mentioned we are just keeping it simple & they tend to be regular fishing groups who we know. The last thing we want is 2 "households" turning up so...

    Agree. His responsibility is safety of his crew & clear compliance. We have made our decision based on that.

    Charter boat 10/4/21

    We are treating 6 as including the skipper and unless we know the it to be 100% true , we are not applying the 2 households. Angling Trust https://anglingtrust.net/covid-19/ says : Fishing will remain as a legitimate outdoor recreation or exercise for up to 6 people, or in a larger group if...

    Charter boat 10/4/21

    I am a charter skipper - our boats can fish 8 anglers comfortably. Licenced for 12 people including crew. Until 17 May rules come into force we are operating 5 fishing plus skipper = rule of 6. We had thought of the "work place " stuff but felt it was pushing it given the time we spend on the...

    Smartliner 19 & 21 boats - anyone know what they are like ?

    Yes I liked the look of it & would like to do it but Nicola may have banned the English from Scotland by then. Unfortunately, I do not feel welcome in Scotland anymore. I am not alone in this. Out of principle I do not spend money where am not welcome. I am not anti Scots & have loads of...

    Smartliner 19 & 21 boats - anyone know what they are like ?

    I was asked about these by a chum who is looking to buy a new one. Made in Poland. I see some are used in Norway (have only used Arvors) Anyone got any experience / knowledge - good & bad ? Feedback welcome

    Okay for tope?

    Depends on tides & conditions such as weed etc.- uptiding is one way so a rig mentioned using an uptide rod suits strong tide and down tide up to 6oz depending on depths. Where I fish for tope - its either as above or in the deep gullies where uptide is a waste of time. 20-30 if you have to use...
