Hi Guys,
how about a discussion about an own boat, offshore capable for the regions in Europe, we can reach?
And also about the possibility to catch game fish on the own boat, if there is just the time of holydays to use it on the sea.
Pargo Man with his Malta da Kianda and the Angola report started something in me....thanks Pargo
The money that a own fishing vessel costs should not be the theme, because the fun it can give you will cover any amount (nearly )
Here are my first minds how the boat could be:
- Maximum size to trailer it on your own and to handle it without a crew
- two engines
- I like center console boats, but a cabine would make longer trips more comfortabel (bed, cooker, toilet,....)
- huge cruising range and waterreservoir
- of course all things that are necessary for the own security
- enough storage to carry all tackle that could be necessary for the trip
-..........
But more interessting is the question how the chances are for a successful fishing and what species to go for!
So what do you estimate (or is your own experience) for fish like
Amberjack, Tunas, Sharks, Billfish, Mackerels,........?
Maybe we can separate it into regions and fishing methods!?
So, best regards, happy new year and tight lines,
Kai
PS: My dream is it to catch a billfish in the mediterranean sea or the northern atlantic on my own, just together with my wife and the own boat.
