Get a little rib and motor,and get out on the pike and perch mate

I’ve fished from a boat in the lake district for trout and also on Hanningfield res in Essex, but I wouldn’t be taking all my kit for a night session and my little lad on some of these inland seas mate…..not for one minute, scares the life out of me.

f**k, I remember lads drowning in Wraysbury and the lakes here make Wraysbury look like a village green duck pond.

26,000 acres is one big chunk of water and some of them are so big you get proper weather systems on there that can put you in trouble quick…..fine for lads confident enough to do it but not a bit of me.

@Daniel cain Look up Lough Corrib mate, it will blow your mind……Lough Neagh is another level altogether but that isn’t near me so not one I would be fishing.

A rib or big sib will keep you safe and there very novice user friendly, last time out on my boat i hit some waves head on that  1/4 filled the boat and made us head for shore for a bail out and dry out,those same waves i would have jumped over and gone back for another go in a rib of the same size as my boat..
