Im new to boat fishing,
I have just bought a small boat (17 foot) and was looking to go fishing in
it - what would i need ??

I have no clue as to what fish to expect as i have never done this before.

I would however like to fish for Cod Pollock and Mackrel;

Many thanks

Steve

Do not go to sea without flares, radio, lifejacket & waterproofs.

Once you have got these items you can then think about fishing.

You may think that you will not need them, alot of people don't, but
especially with your experience it will be foolish not to bother with
safety gear.

Supposing that you have all the gear then inshore you should find
the pollack and wrasse but you have not said what area you intend to
fish. Cornwall is different from Scotland at different times of the year,
and the speed of the tide vary around the coast.

Let us know where and maybe we can be more specific.
