Hi Scott and as I missed your first post a couple of months back welcome to NESA. I have quite a way to travel whenever I fish but your journey is a lot worse than mine, even if you were to fish in the Yorkshire area.
Which area's would you be looking to fish as a lot of the lads on here are in the Tyne and Wear and Northumberland area. There are quite a few from Durham, myself included and we seem to be getting quite a few more members from the Hartlepool area now too.
I have fished the Hartlepool area a little bit but not much so couldn't help you much there. Most of my fishing takes place between Tynemouth and Blyth with occasional trips further North or South Between Eyemouth and Whitby.
I think there would be plenty of lads on here that would be quite happy to meet up with you for a few hours, it's just catching things when plans coincide lol. We are out on 28th but I would be happy to meet up a few days later for a few hours if you would like to learn a few marks in the Tynemouth-Blyth area.
If you fancy it just give a couple of dates and I will see if I can make any of them.
Jim.
