There are shed loads of good boats around devon,dorset and the bristol channel area and most skippers will cater for complete beginners and provide all the tackle and bait required .. Weymouth is my favourite port because of the quality of the boats AND the fishing both inshore and offshore ..
look here for more info mate

Have to agree with Scottish and mental. I live in Weymouth and know a lot of the skippers. I would recommend Ivan Wellington on Top Cat III, or Colin Penny on Flamer IV, as great skippers for first timers.
