ok,every one i\'m new to this forum and i think it\'s class.anyway i was fishing off seaburn rocks with dave chinna and songy on wednesday evening about 5ish and we saw a 4 ft swordfish :o we couldnt belive it so we phoned the coastguard and he said that was the sixth phone call that day brilliant eh! imagine catching that!!!!!
 
Wh\"ey Aye am sure you did - What ever it was i will commend you on your eyesight- not only peripheral vision- but round the world vision - to much white lightening- as they are territoriol and will stay in an area where feeding is good- lets say whiting,if it is slumming it- get your digital camera out and sit and wait for that SNAP that will get you in every paper north of Bilboa. But well done on seeing a \"4 ft Swordfish\" ;) ;)
 
surprised the Coastguard did\'nt tell you to .... off,nowt like wasting tax payers money and putting peeps in danger
 
thanx for welcoming me alan.f but we did see it ...and for u bri.h i dont drink white lightning and i will carry my didgy camera with me and when i get in the paper i hope u send me an apology and if u happen to catch it watch your rod doesn\'t snap cause that would be a pisser! \"don\'t wear wigs in the wind\"
 
http://indian-river.fl.us/fishing/fish/sword.html - nuff said in the \"Tropical waters\" and 400 - 500 fathoms , unless the pipe end or the back of the doors has gone to a depth unknown to man i would say its EITHER -

a dolphin going to a fancy dress party
or your on to much white lightening



Strongbow is a better class of Cider try that , But Hey i could be wrong ,after all Darwin was nearly exported cos he linked us to apes,so maybe the East Coast of ENGLAND is in for a Tropical fish explosion, Whats the NFSA sizes on Swordfish lads in case i get one on Monday night in wor Comp, i would hate to make a tw*t of myself by trying to weigh one in thats not size. :D :D :D ;)
 
I will shake your hand big man if you get a snap of a Swordfish off Seaburn - i Honestly will. But take a step back if you were reading a post on this board would you HONESTLY believe it - NO i DONT think so ..
 
SALMON - I posted a couple of years ago :o about a similar experience. On reflection - SALMON
 
:) lol well i hope u do catch it especially if your in a club, i\'m not in 1 but i would love to be how do i get into a fishing club(and dont\'say walk through the door )which 1 are u in bri? \"swordfish swim in warm water with cold put in\"
 
Not gonna crucify you for this mike cos I wasn\'t there. I have no doubts that there will be loads of things in our waters that \"shouldn\'t be there\". If anyone tries to weigh one in in the shore comp I am afraid it is not legal as I do not have the legal sizes to hand (at the moment) I am sure someone will know lol. Shore caught only.

Jim.
 
Its full we only take members on in the 1st 4 weeks of Sept then the book closes - and thats cos we are fishing for a heap of money over 26 wks - last years winner won not a kick in the arse off £1300 in all categories-(heaviest single fish/amount /specimen fish etc/fur and feather) but if the TAX man is reading this - it was £22-36p - :P :P
 
Hello Mike * notices shadow on radar* regarding the swordfish business. Apart from the recent report given to me by a lunatic on Blyth Pier of a Marlin being caught of Whitley Bay Beach. (see previous post) I witnessed a 3-4 ft silver fish, leaping all over the gaff whilst fishing off Shields Pier, It remined me of a Billfish breaking the surface (Oh those wonderful Cuban days ;) ) I posted about it here and after a few posts it became clear that what I had really seen was an armless Dodo in a silver lyrca suit with a jet pack and snorkel.

















Err or was it a SALMON. :cool:
 
I would love to think so, my mate Dave the chef would knock up a canny fish& chips with that one,, you sure they wer\'nt dolphins???I\'v caught many a fish and miss-identified it at first glance ,coalies+ whiting come to mind,untill I stick my fingers into its gob, then I know whats what, Cheers Tich
 
Fu*k me back to white lightening again LOL :P :P



Ell have you been on Micky Quales last post / you owe me one - I GOT YOU HOME you pis* tank. ;) ;)
 
That\"ll do for me - ONLY if Gogs lets me go up to J----------- Sorry Gogs SCOTLAND -- you know i only stretch peoples patience- if i am not welcome i will meet the lads in the \" Four in Hand \" on Easter Road and get pis*ed like i have done on numerous accasions before and after a Hibbies game.then pick me up on the way back LOL ;) :D :D :D
