Can anyone recomend a fishing boat to hire for the day for 4 adults and 4 children.last year we hired a boat for the day from the harbour and told the captain that the two men wanted to do some serious fishing. whilst it was good value for money the captain took us to the regular stops used by the tour boats. at one point there were about 50 tourists jumping on our fishing lines whilst they played a lovely song about a bear pleasuring himself at full blast. we are just loking for a quiet day out with good fishing and a bit of snorkelling without the w***in 8)g bear playing in the background. 8)

I'll jump in and predict many recommendations for Jerry's Boats. Somewhat strangely, I have never been on one of his trips but everyone speaks highly of them. I actually only met him properly a few weeks ago, and what a charming gentleman he is.
-
loz's hubbie gordon has a boat
has he started fishing trips yet:D
-
is jerrys boat moored in the harbour and do you think he would be easy to find. we plan on having a couple of days out fishing as the kids love it as well. last year my hubby ended up going out on a little boat with a couple of turkish friends and he caught 14 tuna and lambucha which were beautiful on the bbq.unfortunately our friends boat is not safe enough or big enough for the kids. 8)

Jerry,s fishing trips are not that sort of fishing, they only catch small fish on them, to catch tuna i think you would have to find one that goes a bit further afield, Jerry is just like the 12 island boat trips, swimming, fishing and sunbathing, oh and bbq. Alan

we hired / booked a boat from calis water taxi,s last year called Banick boat [may be misspelt] had 2 great days fishing cost was total of £60 [7 of us] per day 5 .5 hrs afloat plus cost of drinks great day out great catches, not tidlers all gear supplied bait extra
-
:)Just go to the taxi boats in either Calis or Fethiye and explain what you want, they will sort it for you, ;)
-
I too am looking to book Jerrys boat, the website and contact details are www.jerryboat.com Has anybody been out with Jerry this year yet, or late last year? He had had many good reviews last year but one that said he was getting really busy and slacking a bit...any info to the contrary? Many thanks.
-
jerrys boat is the dey var voue (wrong spelling)
one of the best trips the food is great.
-
I have emailed him a couple of times, but no reply as yet....is he still running? thanks.
-
He's still running, we spoke with him on Friday, as we were looking for a boat for yesterday - from around Midday - price quoted with lunch £120 (4 adults 2 children). So we went to Fethiye and went on Tom's boat for 150 Lira, some difference :)
-
does tom's boat do fishing trips as well?
-
I have no idea :D
He has a boat and it has fishing rods, is that a fishing trip?
-
oooh you're soooooooooo funny(not)
-

-
I wasn't trying to be funny, fishing isn't really my thing
-

:DNice one Sue, Jerry's name is actually Ufuk, so you can understand why, when he's giving quotes like that, :owhat do you mean ,"the milks off", seriously though I cant understand him giving silly quotes, could be a big mistake,and we've been using him for years. ;)
-
if you can get 10 people to go on the boat with you
it would be about £10 each for the day.
we had a great day out with jerry last summer,
ask for discount.children half price etc.
-
I am up for some serious deep sea fishing,will be out whole of july and august can only go during weekends though, will bring own rods and tackle etc. has anyone tried beach casting in turkey ? if so what were the results? want to know as have seen people having a go, and can bring the kit out with me as well but must be sure of edible catch to convince the boss of the car space needed for the rods
-
my hubby is out with us first 2 weeks august.do you want to share a trip then?We have no tackle so will need to hire.Are you taking any kids with you?
-
Amanda - terribly sorry to hear that your husband has no tackle ? ;):D: :)
-
:Dvery quick!!!!!!:D
-
c1 i have beachcast many times at calis using live shrimp as bait but all i get is bits all the locals use handlines with the same results,if you go round the back of fethiye harbour past the boatyards the sea is usually that calm i floatfish here with light coarse tackle loads of different fish here but nothing big enough to eat,you can go fishing catch nothing but pop in the fish market on the way home and buy some for the table tell your missus you caught them and it will all seem worthwhile, there are a couple of good tackle shops in fethiye and you can buy a full set up for babout 30 pound anyway good luck peter
-
thats naughty.i caught a 21 lb carp a while ago when course fishing.i need to beat that!!!@!
-
Just to update,Jerrys website is down, I text him and he text me back today. He is charging £10 per adult and £5 per child under 10. He will pick us up by the main post office in Fethiye. Whereabouts is this in relation to Garanti bank please?
-
Stand outside Garanti Bank....face the road ,turn right, walk about 250 meters PTT(Post Office)is on the opposite side of the road. :)
-
many thanks.

Theres a new 200hp power boat out of Olu Deniz which goes to Cennet Plaj which is a sandy beach on the way to Patara. It can take up to 8 people at 180 quid for about 5 hrs including a sandwich snack and tea/coffee water. I thought it sounds alot and then worked it out to be 22.5 quid a head to do something really different away from the crowds. If you want it as a fishing trip, which we did, they trawl for bigger fish like tuna and then do line fishing to catch bass bream etc. My hubbie came back with 6 red snapper all bigger than your hand !
-
120 Quid! oh my god, that is more than some of our flight tickets were!
-
Is this Tom person a charter boat person? I am just looking for someone to take us proper fishing for a bit. For 3 years now, I get up at 7, walk to the humpback bridge with my son and just sit there for a couple hours. The only fish he has ever caught is when this Turkish man obviously took pity on him after days, ran over, pulled a fish out of his pocket, put it on ds's line and threw it back in the water! The last time we were there, they told us there werent any actual trips for real fishing as the licenses were too expensive. and we asked in every tour place we could find. So if anyone does find any........
-
Take him along to the front between Calis and Fathyie, there are always men fishing from there
-
Thanks, Anne, but our Turkish is still (I'm ashamed to say) nonexistent and I wouldn't have the nerve to ask. We do go and sit and watch them fish from the beach though. :-) We did try fishing there, but the hooks get caught on the rocks under the water. If anything it taught us never to go in the water barefoot!!!!!!
