strimmer_13 Posted August 22, 2021 Report Share Posted August 22, 2021 After a disappointing day down Seaton with the spinning rod (usual 😂) my mate and his brother suggested we do a day trip on a boat in the next month or 2. Can anyone suggest a crew/boat to go out on? There's a few going from Weymouth I see, but I'm not bothered about going out on a smaller tug if the big boys are fully booked. Budget not really a issue, nor distance but I'm thinking Christchurch area to Exeter, maybe a bit further west, say a max of Paignton as I've a place to crash there anyway. Species, anything really, though we'd all like to try wreck fishing as we personally own a small inshore boat ourself and would like to go further out Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisjpainter Posted August 23, 2021 Report Share Posted August 23, 2021 Snapper charters has a good reputation. They do both sightseeing and fishing, but their main line is in the fishing trips. Straight out of the centre of Weymouth and they have a bright orange boat, so you can't miss them. They do offshore, wrecking and shark trips. Boat Fishing Trips and Jurassic Coast Sightseeing Trips from Weymouth (snapperweymouth.com) Oh and it's the law that you have to have fish and chips at Bennett's afterwards, just on the marina! Best in town. Weymouth Angling Centre is just round the corner from where Snapper's moored, too. Good tackle shop with a wealth of local knowledge All you need in one photo! Snapper and Bennett's!

moor man Posted August 23, 2021 Report Share Posted August 23, 2021 Silver Halo out of Torquay harbour has a good reputation. Not been on her but a few mates have and rate the skipper and boat (fast) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

strimmer_13 Posted September 17, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2021 (edited) No not yet unfortunately Its definitely going to go ahead, just he's had a newborn and there's been a few problems along the way Snapper/Weymouth is likely where we're go out, but I'll also do torquay another time as it kills the day when visiting family in paignton Edited September 17, 2021 by strimmer_13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
