im looking for a campsite round north yorkshire northumberland way that offers fishing with hire of equipment. my kids want to try fishing but i havent done it since i was a kid.be a bonus if site had ehu and play area can manage without pubs and shops . 

ps im only taking the kids so they can put the worms on im not touching them yakky.

If its sea fishing you are looking for then there are plenty of trips that go out from Whitby, Scarbrough and Bridlington that also include the hire of rods and tackle, and most also provide bait, but best to check first. They are not exactly cheap to go on, with some charging as much as £70pp for a 6hr trip, which goes suprisingly quickly once you are out there.

I took my grandson and his mate out on Ocean Cruisader from Bridlington harbour a couple of years ago for his 14th birthday, and the cost was £25pp for 4 hrs, but i suppose that prices may have increased since then along with fuel and insurance costs. the skipper was first class though,he baited up our hooks, changed our traces when needed, and identified the spieces we caught straight away, even if it was something a bit unusual like my Rainbow Wrass I caught on my first bite! 

We came home with a dozen or so Mackrell and a couple of medium sized cod, but also through quite a few catches back for either being unedible or undersized for landing.

If you want to buy a cheap starter kit try Glasgow angling online, this is where we got my grandsons first basic kit from. efficient service and reasonable prices.

Argos also do starter kits and will probably be in their new catalogue due out next week.
