Hi all. I’m returning to sea fishing after a 25 year break and just looking for some advice on uptiding from a charter boat on the Bristol Channel.
I’ve only ever fished downtide from a boat but am going on an uptide charter in the next few weeks so just need some help.
As a complete uptide novice what is my best position on the boat? I’m thinking more about not getting in everyone else’s way than anything else. The boat is a twin hull and only six or seven anglers so plenty of room.
I don’t have a dedicated uptide rod but was looking to use a Shakespeare gx2 12/20lb rod with a daiwa slosh 20 reel. I think I can get a 30 to 40 feet cast with this but no sure if that’s enough distance.
Any advice would be much appreciated and thanks in advance.
