Chris G Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 Hello from a newbie . I own a Predator 160 and take it up to Oban Scotland once a year for a weeks fishing (mostly pollock).I worked in the aerospace industry and thanks to the covid pandemic have taken early retirement. So hopefully when and if we get back to normal with no restrictions I can do a lot more fishing. Cheers Chris.

Saintly Fish Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 Hi Chris and welcome. Lovely little boat you have there. Is the tow vehicle a Mondeo ST ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris G Posted June 24, 2021 Author Share Posted June 24, 2021 Crikey that was a quick reply ! No its a Focus estate ecoboost , had a Focus st170 before which I found to be better for towing as it had more low down torque.

Chris G Posted June 24, 2021 Author Share Posted June 24, 2021 Thanks for the welcome guys. Andy , the only other place I've fished is out of Dartmouth . Living near Nottingham I always had to have a weeks holiday and trailer the boat there. Would like to try the North East for a bit of cod fishing.

Andy135 Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 Hi Chris - Dartmouth is a lovely place to fish. Years ago I kept a small boat upriver and would fish the mouth of the Dart for bass and pollack. Never managed to venture as far as the Skerries though, which I regret now. That's an impressive beast in your profile pic. Salmon? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't start that again 🤣. Land Rovers are for masochists who like fixing things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
