Last saturday me and my dad went fishing at one of ashton keynes club waters. This was the first time we would be using a bait boat so we went for a few hours. It was a nice hot sunny day but we failed to catch despite using the baitboat to reach areas out of casting range. So it was a learning curve for me to use a baitboat for the first time.

It turns out that the shark fishing in wales cound bot be done this year due to the £600 it would cost and because i could not get the time off work. So instead i opted for a bait boat i chose the TFG patriot at £300 pounds i recived it on the twenty third of august from hinders.And then on wednesday we took it out to coate water just to get used to the operating systems. I am hoping to get to use it soon.
