It’s with great sadness I am letting this site and it’s members know my dear husband David passed away this morning after a heart attack. He spent so much time on this site and his love of sea fishing has brought him so much happiness over the years. Thank you to those of you who...

Merry Christmas to you. Hope you’re doing well. Might get a weekend out before March.

All the best from me and Eileen Reg. Might need some sinkers for next summer - will try and get you enough scrap by then. Best wishes to all on NESA.

Hoping to see some better fish from up north Reg. We’re looking to book somewhere in Northumberland next month so will sneak the rod in. Good luck on your travels.

Hi Reg, We only ever take frozen crab and mussels and we collect some fresh crab if available. Funnily enough the frozen crab outfished everything else with, or without mussel . Still love turning those rocks over mind you.

Hi John, Thanks for the reply. The split cane is in fact fibre glass. Over the years we’ve been up in June, July and August and caught in all three. In the winter conditions have to be spot on but we’ve had fish in all sorts of weather in the summer. I’m sure you’ll enjoy it should you get there.

Nice to see you fishing again Gary.

Is it possible to post more than 5 photos?

Spent last week in Montrose fishing around Usan with Rod. Weather was good but there was a nagging roll on every day from a persistent northerly wind. Managed one tide fishing Boddin Point and we managed to get some codling up to about 7lb. Best fish from the Black Rock was about 5lb and there...

Walked the coastline close to Whitehaven a couple of weeks ago. No one was fishing except those on the pier. Was a lovely day so me, the missus and the dog had a walk to the end of the pier and back. Perhaps 10 fishing, saw two thornies, about 3lb caught before departing.....the dog was...

Hi myplaice, hope you are keeping well and coping with the continued lockdown. We’re doing nothing apart from decorating, gardening (though it’s snowing) and I’m not really golfing as I can’t be arsed with all this booking online and I’m then faced with playing with...

Hi Keith, Don’t know how accurate you not being on the board since December, being super mod and all that but I’ll give it a go. You know Stevie, South Shields lad, friend at one time of Terry Woods, triple bypass 2 or 3 years ago, got tyres in the river? Two questions.....do you...

Thanks Dave, appreciate your help, although being 160 miles from County Durham might prove a bit of a challenge. I’m sure we must have similar discount stores down here in the Midlands. Will check it out.

Thanks Reg, It seems a shame to have to buy something that will only get used one week a year but if push comes to shove it’ll have to be done. Mind you as I retire “properly” this summer I might manage one or two winter visits in the future. Might be something else to clutter up Rods garage.
