Forget the fish, can someone tell me where I can get those clip-on shades!
its a big plaice he is holding, caught at the first gate on south shields pier.
just carnt get the staff these days can yabut you could always go and relieve Darren, he is taking a tent and sleeping bag down to the pier until he turns up again. You could always work shifts.
you will not believe this, have just spoken to his daughter, the bloke fishing beside him, who he had been talking too all day wanted to buy the fish from him, but it was the best fish plaice he had caught and wanted to keep it for his grandbairns. when he turned his back the bloke took it out his bag and legged it along the pier. Keep an eye out for anybody saying they caught a big plaice.
