" Chippy - The Skipper of the Bite Adventures"
I have been fishing for 15
years out of Penzance, I started as a crew on another charter boat when I was 15
with a well known local skipper [ Nicky Morse.]
I learnt a lot in my time there but after 6 years
it was time for a challenge. We got a family boat with a commercial licence.
Once I had the licence I had to go out and find fish on a regular basis ,to pay for
the licence. After a couple of years taking friends out on the family boat, I
decided or should I say that people I know, or people that have fished with
me told me to look in to being a full time charter Skipper, in which I did
and never looked back. In the last 5
years I have been the skipper of the winning boat in our local Sea Sports open
boat Competition 4 times, its a great Competition to be involved in, bringing
fishing friends from all over the country together for 1 weekend
(Aug bank holiday). This competition is open to any angler willing to join us
for the weekend. For any info on this please contact Newtown Angling Centre.
(Check out the Links page). When the
weather is not so favorable I am still looking for fish of the shore to weigh
in to the local angling club (Mounts Bay). Cornwall is well recognised as one of
the best counties in the British Isles to be able to target a great array of
different species from the boat and the shore |
