  1. A sad artical indeed, but I would say that the poor chap involved had it so wrong it cost him his life. The fact of the matter is in my humble opinion the fact that he could not afford a life jacket was the total reverse of what should be the case, one cannt infact afford not to have a life jacket, to put such a low value on ones own life is fool hardy to say the least. One can hear anglers make the excuse, " I don't need to buy one, the Charter boat I use has them on board" well I am bound to say If it isn't on your back it is of no earthy use If you slip and go over board, lots of emergancy situations happen so quickly the isuing and donning the boats life jackets is to late, so I feel it is incumbant upon EVERY individual to be responsable for his or her own safety and don't leave it to the skipper or the mate whose boat you are having a day on, worse case sinario, do you want any of these people to have to contact your nearest and dearest and explane why you did'nt return from sea.

  2. Good Day Gentelmen It is good to hear at long last someone intends to sample the hitherto vertually un tapped sorce of sport ay Whitby, I refere of cause to fishing wrecks at anchor. I believe pationatly that once the learning cerve of anchoring wrecks is gone through there is a great reward to be got with not only Eels but Ling and large Cod. I also believe had he lived the origianal owner of Chieftan intended devoting suitable tides to this stile of fishing and if I am not misstaken was activally engaged in assembling like minded anglers and equipment to this end. I can only think were it not for his untimely passing last year would have seen some remarkable results but that was not to be and I am sure we all hope he intended attempt will yeld the results he was denide. Regards Paddy W
  3. Has anyone got any up to date information and results for the Brid Angling Festival, it is a lot of years since I fished Brid but still have an interest in the place and it's people, both skippers and anglers. At this stage I would not know too many as most have moved on to other things, any comments of info would be greatly appreciated even on the every day fishing out of Brid. Thanks in anticipation Paddy W
  4. Hi Carl Thanks for that, look forward to your PM. If you put a number in I will give you a shout. Charlie.
  5. Hi Karl Very sad and sorry to hear of the loss of the legend that was Harry Bentham, a man who lived at least two life times in the one, an inspiration to anyone who meets adversaties through life.R.I.P Harry. The trip looks a good one, was that you fishing the patio? if so I assume you miximize its potential !!!! Keep up the good work . Regards Paddy W
  6. Happy New Year Ivan and WELL DONE, what a great Christmas prezzy. The great thing about studdy Ivan in any form keeps the brain functioning, catch up with you later. Regards Charlie Happy New Year to ALL.
  7. Nice fish Karl. What lucky person caught the cod George the skipper is holding, looks a good fish. Nice to see some of those better fish are still about. If I dont get back on before xmas may I wish Merry Christmas and a HEALTHY New Year to the few anglers that know me, and of course the many thousands that don't. Cheers Charles Anglers' Net Fishing Forums > Fishing Chat > Sea Fishing > PB cod
  8. Hi John. Yes, what a trip. Not taking the sweep with a 30Ib fish was good because it ment better than that had been caught on the same trip. I still sit and re fish those trips, I remember well being on board with a Hull based team, that trip we went to Southerd, the first day I would't have caught half a box and the group had stone after stone after stone, on the second day I did manage to do a bit better. I still look upon that trip as a land mark trip, not because of the boxes of green I caught ( or didn't) but the great company and the readiness and entheusiasum of the lads to impart tips and bits of gear to get my game up to speed. I still have some little Norwiegen weighing about 6-7 oz which as the tide eases were deadly. Great days John. One could sit and recount trips till the cows come home but Mary won't let me sit on my arse for that long!!! but I pull up a bollard when I ever get chance and away I sail. Regards Charlie.
  9. Hi John Thanks for that John, look forward to call. It is strange to observe how aparant disbelief and questioning of ones integretty goes on and yet in most cases the accusor fully expects to have 100% credibility for all their own announsments, the old saying, nowt so queer as folk springs to mind !!! Another fitting one being I think ( only them as knows knows) the rest thinks they knows. Regards Charlie
  10. Congratulations Ivan and Carl. Good to hear of a good trip, you were curtainly fortunate with the weather window, the forcast gave fair weather for Mon- Tues comming not so good Wed, and it sounds as though it went to forcast. Smashing to see fish of that quality, it takes me back to the times I had a few of that magnitude myself. I would be keen to hear what took the fish, perhaps Carl, you would drop me a PM sometime as I don't have a number for you. A good achievement for skipper and crew particularly for the time of year, a good finishing go to sustain the enthusiasum through a long winter. again, well done all. Regards Charlie
  11. Fellow Anglers. For about the last 25 years I have used frequently a Penn Senator 1/0 which I bought new, this reel has never let me down, a couple of times in that period it has been back to Penn serviceing at Pershore where Mick has done a great job on it, sending it back with a small fee and as good as the day it came out of the shop. On one occasion I was off on an extended trip of four days when a leaf spring broke I manufactured one from a sliver of steel cut with scissors from an empty bake bean can. This in fact stayed in the real for another year and a half., cleaning the real the other night after a trip I got to wondering if any one else still uses that particular model. Would be interested to hear if any one does. Regards Paddy.W
  12. Good evening Carl. A proper blast from the past, great to see and so reminisant of those wonderful times, day's when a good pair of eyes to pick up the mark's ashore was all the navigational equipment that was needed for a great day's fishing. Sat looking at your photograph's got me thinging back to the day's when all the skipper's met at the car park cafe to sort out the morning's party's and tackle was bought at Blue Star Angling Suplies and the Co op was a coal yard. Names such as Winspear, Graham, Toes and Tony Smirthwaitete, name but a few, all good skippers of their day. Those days bait fishing was the main stay and jig fishing was very much in its infantsy. Great times, it has been most interesting to have advanced along with the everlution of gear and methods which are of cause still evolving but I have to say a piece of correctly presented bait is still my favourite method and still gives me the greatest pleasure. Although I have to say I have had over time had a few good days on perks and hope to have many more. Regards Charles.

    Sad Loss.

    Fellow Angler's. May I draw your attention for anyone who does not scan other forum section's to the death notice of Jack Brennan. This notice is posted in the Non Angling Chat section. Regard's Charles.
  14. It is with great saddness the Angling fraternatty learns of the passing of a great skipper ad friend Jack Brennan. A man who has played a role in Whitby sea Angling for many years with a wide and diverce fishind back ground covering many Continent's. RIP Jack. Charles & Mary.
  15. Hi Barry.IF I may call you Barry as we are not aquainted?. If I remember correctly the Sand Eeler's that were working the North Sea when I was off there last were Danes and again if I remember they were fuelling power stations on the Sand Eele's also for fertiliser. That clip of film want's keeping and adding to as and when so our grandchildren can be shown why they have to go to a museum to see a Cod fish. Somewhere I have a couple of photo's of the boat's probably 4 year's ago, I will have a look and put them on if I can. Challange, perhap's you will remember where the boat's were from? Good luck to all. Regard's Paddy W
