If I remember correctly, the Grey brothers had the "Tynewinder". Anyone remember Micky Devlin, he had an old trawler he used for charters. Bit of a bugger was Mickey but a great guy with it. He used to pick up punters at various points along the river, and when he got to North Shields fish quay he used to tell everyone to get below. The reason for this was so that he could take on the last dozen anglers waiting to board, because Mickey knew that the "man from the ministry" would be counting them on. By the time they got out the piers she looked like a Vietnamese refugee boat, with bodies coming out from all over her.
"Hairy", but fun with it, we didn't think of life jackets and things like that when we were young and daft, oh! happy days.
The first boat to actually start taking charter parties wrecking out of the Tyne was the "Briar" skippers name was John, he lived at Stanley. In those days we didn't have Sat Nav's it was the old Decca Navigator. Many times we would set out for a wreck maybe twenty miles or so off and I can't remember how many times we would be just a couple of hundred yards from the mark and the Decca would go on the blink, as I said happy days.

I used to go out on an old wooden boat from the tyne called the Team in the early 80's when i was a kid, Bob Vaisey (?) the skipper was called and he only used to charge £5 for kids and £10 for grown ups 
My mother would go mad when i fetched bags n bags of fish home, she'd say " can you not chuck them back, you got my kitchen stinking of fish"

I remember circa 1972/3 going fishing on a coble from Blyth, from "The Golden Fleece" pub (alighting on the ferry landing)
It was £3 a trip and my mate and I started going out on sunday afternoons, however afternoons was the casualty trips of ground baiting and line tangles. After a number of weeks in a row I was fortunate enough to be "invited" by the skipper to join their "elite" punters on a Sunday morning 6.00am till 12.00, this was a much more stable crew who took their fishing more seriously ... perfect .... must have put in a couple of years of trips until the boat was eventually retired
Remember on several occasions when it got a bit lumpy we all had to stand in the back to try and keep the prop in the water
.... those were the days .... my best in those days on that boat was 7lb cod .... memories

John I went over to Fleetwood in the seventies with Ted and Clive Marrison in Teds wifes VW Beatle ,Clive was going to see a trawler called the ERIN BAY and Ted went to see the Wandering Star ,both owned by the same man.Ted bought the Wandering Star and I had a few days out on it we even used it to haul our nets one day.
Re the Wayside Flower ,around the same time we also went to Amble to see the Wayside Flower,she was a bit neglected and we could not get the Gardner engine to start .The boat was rigged for fly shooting with coils of ropes piled up on the deck.Couple of years later it arrived at Hartlepool owned by a lad called Franky Bergen and was rigged for trawling ,don`t know if it ever took anglers away.
