Arranged to go to Bridlington after an invitation from Dave Brown to come and see his area .Travelled up very early for a 7am lauch and was met by Dave and friends with a nice cup of tea :D . The boat was hitched to the tractor from the compound and towed to the beach and expertly slipped in to the surf . Daves Boat is a Warrior 175 with a 115hp ( yes 115 ! ) Honda outboard and is the dogs dooda\'s , one of the best I\'ve seen . The weather was very rough but not in the shelter of the headland and Dave opted to troll for bass . The pics show the rough water belting around the headland and Dave edged us expertly up for some close shots , the pics do not do it justice as the waves were 15-18ft high :o . The new techniques Dave and co use would also suit our coastline , and will be next year :)

Anyway , no bass were caught after a full day (water to coloured for the rapala\'s ) but what a great day :D :D :D :D :D :D

Dave , you never took a penny for the trip and the hospitality was great , thanks very much . Top angler and top bloke . When are you coming to the n/east then for to show us how to do it :)

Dave sounds like you had a fun day (even though the fish were elusive). What you have said on the thread really sums up the spirit of the NESA lads and lasses. I have not met so many nice people before joining the thread. I think it also reflects the sport that we all are so passionate about and the way everyone shares tips and experience.
Dave from brid well done mate for being a another boat owner on this site who is more than happy to share his boat and experience with others on this site.
Shame the pictures did not include one of a nice big bass. :D
 
Those pictures of the water look as though they were taken on different days, where it\'s calm(er) it looks great, where it\'s rough....ooh mummy!! let me off. That outboard is a monster !!
 
Yeh shame about the bass there was two shore matches on the same day and there wasn\'t a single bass caught so we wasn\'t on our own(thats my excuse anyway). I will certainly come for a day out of the tyne especially now your a speed freak Dave :o :o :o . You and Norm will have to have a day out with us on the Tope. And thanks for showing me Tonys secret tecnique for stuffing pirks into fish before the weigh in :D :D :D your secrets safe with me Tony ;)
All in all at least we got out and there\'s not many places on the east coast you can do that on a force 7 northwesterly!
 
Dave,

Posted your pic but it\'s not taken . Is it greater than 200kb as the cardearg site will not have it :(

I\'m no expert on this but my camera is set to e-mail size pixels (640/480 )and this always works for me .

Dave, you can just resize your photo, I use a canny free program called Irfanview, you\'ll be able to d/l it.

Looks like you lads had a good day, couple of those pics had me reaching for the kwells :D

Have you got your new boat yet Dave??
 
Hi Keith ,

Have not got new boat yet , but it\'s receiving my full attention mate :D . Looks like being an Ocqueteau like Norman\'s at the moment , I\'ve seen nothing as well made or as stylish up to yet ( Dave Brown\'s came a very close second mind ! ) Watch this space .
 
Great Thread dave and Dave ......................... :D

Dave M just for the record photo editor (standard pic viewer from microsft , should be resident) top menu, image , resize ....... lower the percentage and save as a new name, then check size, if ok fine, if not resize it again.
