Some of you may know that I\'m a born again angler after a long time out (it\'s 15 years since my X sold all my tackle at Brierdene car boot sale when I wasn\'t looking). Things have changed and I must say for the better. I never thought I\'d be sitting in front of a PC chattin\' with \"the lads\". Catch reports were always via the local tackle shops, they had all the info!
Can anybody remember the \"Meander\", I\'m sure the skipper was called Geordie Douglas (correct me if I\'m wrong). I only fished once on thiis boat but it was a day to remember. I fished regularly on the original Sahra with Alan Skinner and I\'m pleased to see that Alan is still in there. I also remember Gordon Ballard and Jimmy (towed back) Green. Bookings were made in the pub or by hand held VHF\'s (not from the shore of course).
My personal bests were a couple of double lings on the same day to 12lb and a cat (which I now believe you call a wolf) of 7lb. Never had much luck with cod the best being 6lb which I took out the Tyne on new years eve in 1990. Anyway, the internet makes it all more interesting and I\'m glad I found this site (others too). Happy fishing
