I’m planning on buying a small fishing boat this weekend for fishing around the gower peninsula, and would like to know what are the basic bits of kit i need to get started? The boat itself is 15ft in length and comes with a 50hp outboard engine and trailer. Everything else i’m going to need to buy seperatly, except for the fishing tackle which i already own. Many thanks.

What do you do when you’re on a commercial fishing boat at sea and have bad vision?

Reinhart asked:


My only concern about fishing (excluding the risks) is my vision. What do people do when they’re on a boat and have impaired vision (like not perfect vision)? Glasses would fall off easy with all the water, and contacts surely wouldn’t be easy to put on everyday with the boat swaying all the time (wouldn’t you poke your eye out?), would it?

If possible, I’d like to hear some personal experience from people who’ve done it, on how they deal with this.

Why would a captain of a fishing boat no longer be a captain?
I am researching a plot for a movie. It is about a fishing community. I need someone who was once a fishing boat captain, but is no longer. Can anyone come up with a “back story” (plausible) as to why he no longer captains a boat?
