  • Please please help me become a better boat fisherman. Suggestions and useful tips and information will be very welcome so please comment away!
    I have been out on my SIB before but only a handful of times with limited success. This trip was the first in over a year with my new engine and a few modifications. We headed out of Herne Bay for a spot of fishing trying both drifting and at anchor. There wasn't a great deal caught but this is the start of a long learning curve and Im set on mastering my water craft.

    Nice to see you fishing from a Sib, enjoyed watching and well put together, I have a Sib and like you I am a complete novice so have a lot to learn about what tackle baits and best way to approach it. Will be following you on your new adventure.

      Thanks Robert👍 atm I still very much a shore based angler but I'm sure as I get to grips with the sib that will change

    Nice video. Like someone else mentioned, Rhys (Fish Hunter) has a lot of sib videos, there's also a group of them he goes out with. I would, for safety find at least one other sib owner to buddy up with as anything does or can happen when you're on your own and that sea doesn't give second chances. I've got a 22' ocean boat with a 150 Yamaha on the back and a 9.9 Honda kicker. Full safety gear, VHF radio as well as CB and none of us here in our port go out by ourselves (apart from the know it all's). always check with the Coast Guard on weather conditions and forecast before you leave. They will let you know if it's safe or not to venture out. Even then, the weather can change on a dime. It happened to a few of us last year when we were salmon fishing 10 miles off. Our port entrance faces due south and southerly winds make it dicey coming in as it's a narrow bar crossing. Anyway, the forecast was for a light south wester so a 20 minute trip out to the salmon grounds was an easy 20 mph blast. After an hour or so, the slight southerly turned really nasty and the Coast Guard were warning all boats to proceed in. Well, a 20 minute trip out , turned into a 2.1/2 hour white water trip back. A few boats got into trouble and had to be towed in. Once back at our berth I vowed never to go out on the Pacific ocean again in a southerly or, even if there's the possibility of one. So, better to be safe than stupid, there's always another day to go out, it's not as if you live 100's of miles from the sea.

      Exactly! I'm over cautious anyway and won't be venturing out if the weather is not right and if there is doubt in the forecast then I'll leave it.
      I've found that Oban on the water is an excellent channel for sib fishing and have watched some of his. I'd like to watch more vids but haven't got the time 🤦‍♂️😂

    I like using a full squid on a pennal no need to elastic them on but on a boat the hounds and the rays will take squid.
    You will get used to the boat and the tide movement but a decent plotter/ fish finder makes life alot better

    Hello, I have owned a Sib for 8 yrs now, i still learn something new every time i go out, from what i see in the Vid you already have a good base knowledge,
    just tweak your ideas to suit yourself, as for rigs, i use running ledgers, drop down rigs, boom rigs and pulley rigs.
    it also makes sense if you can go out with another Sib owner, the offer is there if you want it,

      @@gsp i do have rules to my Sib fishing that i i have never broken....fishing in a Sib is different from a fun day out with the family
      i have equally not launched as having launched....i will never launch if i see white horses....i will also come back in if i see the slightest change
      in the weather and sea state...no matter how well we are catching fish ( much to the disappointment of my mate )
      having a fun day out however is different the rougher the sea the better....these type of boats are very robust...i have put mine thru hell yrs ago
      i have let one tube down on purpose...filled it level with sea water also....they still float...you are not a foolish person...make your set of rules...
      and get out there and enjoy it.

    Ello. Greetings from sunny Dartford. Can you tell me a bit about your boat - how long, how big engine, what floor type? Am just looking at buying one. Already have a 2.5hp four stroke, want the boat to go with it.

    • @gsp
      @gsp  Рік тому +1

      I have a 3m talamex which I had original paired with a 5hp Honda four stroke but found it too slow so I upgraded it to a 9.9hp suzuki which is far better. If your going to be going far then 2.5hp won't cut it. I have an inflatable floor but wish now that it was aluminium.

    Fish the same hooks and bait size you would use from the beach then tailor things to your catch drifting speed varies locally 1 knot and under for bottom bait any speed with artificial faster is good you can always retrieve to up the speed
