All Your
Questions
Answered
What tackle do
I need?
(set
up and rigs).
What should I
wear?
What sort of
fish can I catch?
-
The fish we catch change with the seasons
throughout the year. Our main target species
are: Coalfish, Cod, Ling, Pollack, Conger,
Mackerel and Whiting from the wrecks, Winter
Cod, Dogfish, Bream, Whiting, and Flatfish can
be taken on the ground. Some of the more recent
catches, and sightings off our Cornish coast,
have included: Barracuda, Spanish Mackerel,
Sunfish, even Tuna, all which are warm water
species so you never know what you might catch
or see coming from the depths.
Can I keep
what I catch?
What tide is
best to fish on?
-
This is dependant
on the fishing you wish to do. If you want to
fish over wrecks for Conger or Ling, you want a
smallish tide as it's easier to get your bait to
the bottom and get your fish to the boat. If you
want to fish in gullies you want a bigger tide
as the fish leave the sand banks and move to the
gullies.
How do I book
the Aquila?
-
Firstly you need
to phone us to find out if when you wish to fish
is clear. You will need to discuss the type of
fishing that you wish to undertake and if the
tide is right for that day. If you are happy
with these details. Collect a deposit from your
friends, then confirm your booking by phoning us
up and telling us all is okay and send your
deposit to us. then all you need to do is look
forwards to your days fishing.
What
happens if the trip is cancelled?
-
Trips are
only cancelled due to bad weather,
Breakdowns or illness and only by the
skipper. Please remember that your day
out is our livelihood. If it's due to us
cancelling and we cannot book another
day for you, we will refund your
deposit. If however you cancel the trip
it is likely that you will lose your
deposit.

We would recommend that you
bring all your own equipment as you might have
different tackle and ideas than us. However
Aquila is well equipped with tackle. All rods and
reels are in good condition and most of the tackle
only has to be paid for if it is lost or broken.
If you would like to
find out about set up and rigs that we recommend

up and rigs).
