Well. You fared better than us out of Brid - couple of small ling, few small whiting and a few flatties between 10 of us !! - basically a crap day - And I got Sun Burned in the process !!

[chrisarvor]

[Wayne]

Hi Chris, I\'m from Chelmsford in Essex and fish out of the Blackwater. I was out with my brother on Sunday and settled over a mark just above Buxey Sand. We didnt see the Thornies or the Smoothound, still, had a cracking day out amongst all the whiting, but we did have a bonus Bass though around 3 pound odd.
Sorry Guys, Hi all, forgetting my manners there for a minute. Been lurking for a couple of weeks and having seen a couple of familiar names from around my area decided to register the other night. Must say its a nice site youve got going here.

 

[TC]

Hello Chris (and Wayne). It’s always nice to see new names coming onto the Board – hope you enjoy your visits here and become regulars.

Although called “North East Sea Angling”, we do have many members from all over the country (and some from overseas, too.)

Even if you never get to meet up with any of the N.E. contingent, you may well find that you get to know others from your area through the site.

Without being biased, I can say that I’ve met and fished with quite a few people from the site and without doing so, I’d NEVER have learned as much as I have done re. fishing in general. We’re all a pretty friendly bunch, too. (well FRIENDLY, anyway – not sure about “PRETTY”….lol)

Kenny what boat was you on and where did you fish?

Was on Liberty. - just fished around Flamb\' Head, a small wreck, and then Brid Bay.
Second time I have been out on the same boat, and twice the fishing has been less than inspiring !

 

[Topecatcher]

Them charter boats are good if you like dabs and whitings :thumbdown:If your on your own give us a shout and we\'ll show you some proper wrecking

 

[Topecatcher]

PS the wreck you fished was gunhouse , fished day in day out by the charter fleet in summer they even leave their pill on it to tie up to as you can imagine hardly a virgin wreck!!

 

[Doc]

The only thing thats virgin out there Dave is those charter skippers

Verging on the bloody ridiculous!!!!

Oh and Jeffs fish box!!!!!

Not looking good for Sunday at the moment Fella

10:10pm and I\'m still at work, still I\'m trying and cracking the whip, trouble is they keep hitting me back with it

[Wayne]

Hi Chris,
I share the boat with my brother, its a Wilson Flyer and the name is Emotional Rescue.
We\'ve had the boat a while now but this was only our second trip out so we\'re still feeling our way round.
Hopefully this summers going to be a goodun and we can get out and explore some of the more distant marks with some regularity.
Do you fish at night atall?
We\'ll probably be out next weekend if the weather is kind and if so we\'ll call you up to see how many double figure thornies youve boated
Cheers Wayne
