From Crabman to Shadman

[MT2]

Fished the Famous out of Hartlepool today and want to say a big thanks to Shadman. Converted me from bait fishermen to Shad/lures. Cracking day with some quality fish. Recommend boat and crew. Shadman spent time to pass on his ideas and experience which i will use at future venues. Look forward to trip in August if not before.........


He even give us a chance by not using a hook in the last 30mins see photo below..... Not sure if it was intentional or not.


Sorry no futher photos to busy trying new skills

thanks again see yous soon

Canny Mick , got myself some storm shads a few weeks ago as going to try them off the yak. Supposed to be good but will give them a go soon

I'd also recommend the boat. Skipper worked all day to keep us on good marks. Dont stand at the side of the cabin when the boats moving though!

I reckon Gary (shadman) uses hookless shads just to give the anglers a chance
