RogB Posted July 10, 2023 Share Posted July 10, 2023 Hi all, My name is Roger and I have just signed up. Currently I kayak fish out from Teignmouth or the local area but I am seriously considering my first boat. Having lurked a bit and read many of you threads on here I took the plunge as I could do with some advice as I know nothing about boats! I will start a new thread shortly with some questions which will be about craft suitability for the local area, practicalities of transport, storage and ownership etc. I hope to post up some catch reports as and when we get out. Cheers, Roger thejollysinker, Malc, Saintly Fish and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike farrants Posted July 10, 2023 Share Posted July 10, 2023 Welcome - i did the same - joined up for advice when i bought my first boat 2.5yrs ago. Plenty of very knowledgeable people on here - and loads of helpful advice on offer - once you get past the banter that is! there a few near you too - so i'm sure they will lend a hand!

Saintly Fish Posted July 10, 2023 Share Posted July 10, 2023 Welcome @RogB. You have made the correct decision in joining up AND deciding on boat ownership. You won't regret it (your wallet may however)!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odyssey Posted July 10, 2023 Share Posted July 10, 2023 (edited) Welcome to the mad house 🙂 Ask away on questions, there are lots of different experiences on here and still ask questions 🙂 Just watch out for @JDP catch reports…. He’ll soon make you want to leave our shores and head to Aus! Edited July 10, 2023 by Odyssey JDP 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy135 Posted July 10, 2023 Share Posted July 10, 2023 Welcome @RogB. We have a couple of kayak anglers on here - @Malc and @Davemc who I'm sure can give you a view on the question of yak vs boat. We also have @GPSguru and @thejollysinker who are boat owners in your area and I'm sure would be happy to help. Questions welcome, so go ahead and start a thread and we'll do our best to help. 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malc Posted July 10, 2023 Share Posted July 10, 2023 KEEP THE KAYAK!!!! Unless you have had a lottery win or similar, think hobie + a zero and you can't top it onto the car so kindly people will take £££'s off you so you can park it on the water!

thejollysinker Posted July 10, 2023 Share Posted July 10, 2023 Welcome aboard Rog, I started with a kayak 8 years ago but then bought a boat as soon as the opportunity arose. If I can help you with anything I’ll do my best to assist as will I’m sure, everyone else on here 👍🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ralph - Skull n Bone Posted September 9, 2023 Share Posted September 9, 2023 Hi Rog. I've just found this site and joined up today. I fish a kayak out of Torquay and live on a little yacht in the harbour there. Hopefully I'll see you out on the water one day maybe :).

Thanks Jon. I'll certainly post pics and links to my vids as I catch them and make them if that's ok? Saintly Fish 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
