Price of charter fishing in Scotland

I was thinking how nice it would be to have a twin engined catamaran with two 300bhp engines OH YES.
WELL NO first you have to find the 150-200k to buy it and then Therese the fuel consumption .I worked it out that a days wrecking would cost in fuel over £200 NOT GOOD.

Divas fuel consumption about two gallons an hour and that will do me fine.i think that has put me off catamarans.

Mind you i was having a trawl round the other charter boat web sites to see how much they were charging as you do,
I found one in Scotland that was charging £200 an hour and £650 for 8 hours up to 10 people nice if you can get it.

It makes my £160 for 8 hours 4 people look very good value for money.

Sea Fishing Holidays In Scotland

Its new Sea Fishing Holidays in Scotland keep an eye on my new web page.

Gilling Drift Leads

We have made a few now,they sure do look the part.
I think i have worked out how to rig them.

The reel line goes straight to the top of the weight and the snood line is attached to the other side of the weight.

This means that there is no need for a boom the shape of the weight acts as a boom ,also the shape of the weight will make it harder to snag.

The next time we are out we will give them a go.

Pet Hate

Wind wind and more wind we managed to get afloat on Saturday and Sunday but were very restricted by the weather.The colour of the water was more like Baxters soup fishing was hard but we had a few.

I have two Daiwa Kenzaki rods that are very good rods but both have suffered the same fate the top ring has fallen apart,why make a good rod and then put second rate rings on it WHY
I have a Daiwa rod that is over 40 years old still used today and yes it still has the original rings if thay could do it 40 years ago so why cant thay do it today,?
And as for reels xxxxxxx.

Bad Weather

Bad weather has been keeping me in port it must get better soon just a few days will do.

We have now started making my own weights now an 8oz to 10oz now retails at close to £2.00 each
I'm now making 8oz and 10oz cannon ball weights,once i got the hang of it i can knock out a 100 in an afternoon.

Now I'm getting geared up i now have a 12oz Bopedo mould and a 18oz Gilling Drift mould.
I just need to work out how to use the Gilling Drift Lead but it looks the part.

What i intend to do is to offer leads at a very discounted price to my customers

Is that the weather getting better ?
