"Famous" Hartlepool 11th October

[Orange Shad]

Little Dave Sabey, Paul and Hughie were in charge today, a bit blowy but in the right direction.
We waited for a party of 6 to arrive before we set off.
Coming towards the end of the seasonal Mackerel, proved exactly that, not many but after a few drifts here and there we managed enough for the bait anglers.

A very very slow start to the day, a few pouting and a couple of whiting until I managed the first codling to about 5lb, a start we thought.

It continued to fish rather hitty missy most of the day, but during spells it was good, some lovely Pollock came up with a nice fish to about 8lb by Dave and a couple on the other side of the boat to about 6-7lb.
Nice Coalfish came onboard as well, both Hughie and Dave taking fish to about 5lb.

I stuck at it all day with my trusted shads and took 10 fish in total, 9 Cod and 1 Ling, between 4 – 8lb and the ling about 8lb also.

Shaun and Iain on the other side of the boat took 4-5 fish to about 6lb all Cod, and a few other fish around the boat, mainly cod to about 8-9lb with Hughie taking probably the best Ling of the day to about 9lb.

The weather forecast went a little wrong and an easterly picked up for about an hour moving the boat around somewhat, but it calmed and the majority of the fish came in the afternoon session after high water, with fish on every drift which had started to become very quick indeed.

Overall, a decent day at the office, season coming to a close, but still maybe 1 or 2 trips left.

Sorry left Camera in the van.

Hi Jester, Davey used to be a Fireman, are we on the same lad, and yes agreed, he is a nice lad by the way, trys his very best everytime, top bloke.

 

[lingking]

aye dave also had a vessel called the crusader,i presume after the life boat,the crusader was sold to a chap called john coverdale i believe

anyone remember paul castleton(deceased) had the kandoo,which went to whitby after pauls death

 

[The Jester]

Hi Jester, Davey used to be a Fireman, are we on the same lad, and yes agreed, he is a nice lad by the way, trys his very best everytime, top bloke.

Yeah thats right O.S, he was a fireman. Can you ask him what the name of his first boat was, it's bugging me now trying to think what it was

 

[The Jester]

OOPS, just spotted Dunc's thread :red:, thats it "Crusader", i had some good trips out on that boat, none of the fancy electronics of today, but Dave always managed to find the fish . Cheers Dunc

 

[lingking]

aye jester daves first boat was the life boat,may have been the same name,derived from his association with the salvation army

 

[The Jester]

Aye Duncan thats right it was the ex lifeboat that was called Crusader and i remember now he was in the Salvation Army, thanks for that ...Chris...

just been informed that the trip isnt on! dont know if the lads i usually go with have cancelled or theres been a mix up of dates?gutted

 

[teabags]

Hi Been talking to dave the lads from spring bank club have cancelled all there trips so dave has another trip out with lads who are worthy of going, he said the lads from spring bank arent interested so maybe you should talk to your mates then perhaps you wouldn't feel GUTTED

 

[boatangler33]

here teabags,my name goes on every trip list that goes up in the club and all i keep getting told is that its cancelled and yes ill have words! but what has it got to do with you anyway???????????

 

[teabags]

just been informed that the trip isnt on! dont know if the lads i usually go with have cancelled or theres been a mix up of dates?gutted

if you put your name on every trip you should know whats going on putting the trip is cancelled will make other people who are booked on think that Dave isn't going out he has already had people phoning asking why he cancelled but thats not the case the lads at your end have cancelled all there trips and Alan spoke for all of you saying that none of the lads are interested so please be factual

 

[boatangler33]

well that obviously isn't the case is it,as i know the lads are interested because if they weren't they wouldn't put there names on the list and every time theres a list put up its filled plus two or three reserves every time! so would you say that nobody's interested? no neither would i! i am going to have a word with alan to see whats going on and if its him that cant be bothered with it ill sort the trips out myself for the lads that can be! is that factual enough for you?
