chieftain charters

[decoying mad]

just going to booked for another 3 days at sea went last year and was a brilliant experiance

 

this boat goes out from whitby up to 150 mile off shore and its proper fishing

 

last year was that rough there was 12 men got on the boat and only 3 including me fished all the others were in bed sick as dogs

:sick:

 

after the 2 day fishing i brought over 10 stone in fillets back to shore with me. which was kindly shared round the family.

and i sold 5 stone to the pub which nearly paid for the trip.

 

cheers dm

DM that sounds like a great trip and well done on your PB . I am an avid kayak angler and travel all over the UK on trips and meets. My last big one was to the Shark a Tag at Luce Bay in Scotland. Unfortunately I didn't get a Tope but had a few Smooth Hounds and Thornbacks to around the 8lb mark.

 

I bet your freezer won’t need topping up for a while .

 

All the best

Sounds good. I had got really peed off with Whitby so stopped going , last 3 trips with everyone blanking apart from some king size pouting . Not worth the fare but it sounds like it is picking up again .

I went on a 36hr trip, a few years ago now, and thoroughly enjoyed it

Was when John Brennan? was the skipper (sadly passed away) and the weather wasn't the best with us either.

Don't think anyone slept on the way out as it was that rough but still had a great days fishing.

A couple of cod near the 20lb mark landed by one of the other lads and my best was a 14lb ling,though I did

lose something BIG on the last drop of the day. Decided to join two pirks together for more weight as the tide

was ripping the line a fair bit away from the boat, anyway hooked into something decent wound in for what seemed like

an age when.... bam nothing! Whatever I had on straightened out the 1" split ring linking my pirks

Yep a genuine case of the one that got away

Anyhoo a cracking boat and a great experience, would recommend it to anyone into seafishing

Think I'll have to get back into the fishing again and pay Whitby a visit.

I have been fishing at whitby a few times and often thought about having a trip on the chieftain. How much does it cost for three days and do you take all your own gear?

Sounds good,

Used to go every other weekend with Paul on Sea Otter but have not been for ages!!!! The Old Chieften used to gets loads of bad press but i went on it once and had a good day.

Let me know if you fancy a trip out in 2011!!
