lunar-sea Posted December 14, 2011 Report Share Posted December 14, 2011 Hello all, Have just joined the forum as have been looking at other places for information and found this site to be very helpful and informative. I am recently new to boat fishing, having been more focused on the fish of the cypranid kind, but have recently taken on a boat and am looking for some general advice on marks for starting off. As with most fishing I know it is always a learning game and that comes with time and experience but would always welcome a few pointers, GPS marks, tips etc. On reading the forums certain places pop up with their own names but havent a clue where or what they are on about Such places as XRAY, sadler ledge, southbourne rough. Am launching out of christchurch and have all the relevant charts and electronic wizadry aboard, although still learning how it all works. Any advice on local marks worth wetting a line on for this up to now land lubber would be gratefully appreciated. Hope to see you all on the waves soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted December 14, 2011 Report Share Posted December 14, 2011 (edited) Hello Stu and welcome to the forum. Can I suggest you come along to a club meeting, (first Thursday of every month). If you like what you see, join the club. We're a very friendly bunch and there's lots of helpful advice and tips. You could also buddy up or get out on other member's boat to gain experience.

Maverick Martin Posted December 14, 2011 Report Share Posted December 14, 2011 Stu Welcome to our clubs website and thanks for the first cheeky post Most anglers find that numbers for productive marks are hard come by and will guard them to the best of their ability. As you say it's a learning game and can be a slow and painful learning curve however, you have made a good start by joining this website. The next best thing you could do is join the club proper. First year costs just Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
