Hi there, I am a new member and I have been using this brilliant site daily for the past few months and I thought it was about time I said hello. This is a brilliant site for information so it is time I started contributing instead of just leeching.
I am a new member to the site but I am not new to fishing, I lived and breathed fishing around Whitehaven 36 years ago from age 14 to about 20, back then if I was not fishing I was digging bait, I lived on the piers. Now at the age of 51 I have restarted again where I left off after many years of not fishing so I am getting up to speed again. I have been fishing the past 4 months around Roker, Hendon Prom (too many times !) , Whitburn, Marsden and the Walkway. Now I can not get enough fishing in and cant understand why I did not fish for so many years ! I am Getting my share of fish but all the usual small stuff so far, (size coddy coming soon, watch this space).
You will probably know me when you see me, I am the one still using the old ABU 484 Atlantic Zoom and 9000C and 7000 from 1976 and still going strong (at least the reels are, I just replaced the rod with another identical from Ebay while I replace the rings on my original rod to get it back into action).
Great site, happy to be part of it, watch this space for posts.
