Good luck to all those involved

I'm being picked up at 9am tomorrow,
that's not sensible, for a trip to fish on Weybourne Beach Norfolk.I'm being picked up 5am Monday for a fishing trip to Tunstall East Yorkshire,
Now that's nearly sensible. Why can't I be picked up at 3am, that would be sensible.

Stop Stop Stop, It's got out of hand.Alan Taylor:
John, have you ever tried jellied eels? or Haggis come to that?
Why knock a traditional Southern dish?
Alan(nl)
If you look at the origin of my post, it was a light hearted way of looking at Jellied Eels (Lures) as a wild thought of a fishermans tale, as is with the Haggis rolling down the hills. Most of you missed the point, but in a light hearted way.
Years ago when we pulled eels out of the River Blyth, many of our neighbours loved them, so none was ever put back. Haggis I love and a glass of whisky or a bottle.
Why knock a traditional Southern dish. No I'm not knocking any traditional dish but I do draw the line at chewing on a wooden clogg.

Fishing out of Weymouth, on the, reefs we found that a short piece of Rag tipped with a slither of Squid. On size 1 or 1os' was the answer. Weights from 4oz up to 1lb, were used at various states of the tide. At slack water have your snack break.

I saw a programme on Sky where the Cockneys eat jellied eels. So I thought down to my tackle shop and bought Black headed with Orange tails, Yellow, Green, Blue, Allsorts of wonderful coloured eels. As stated earlier, on this forum, marinating with fish oils and then into the pan. Jamie Oliver, eat you hat. This is going to be Pukka Nosh.
What a load of Crap, those Cockneys will eat owt.

Tony It doesn't need to be carried, silly, It's Automatic.tonyfromalnwick:
I don`t see any carrying straps !?!

Because I carry that much tackle, I've bought a new tackle box.
When I go fishing I take the kitchen sink with me, but as my health is not what it used to be I've invested into an economic box that will help. We all take what we think is enough tackle, but may be some of us carry to much.
What do you think of it.

A Note for Blackvelvet.
I can remember (When I was a Lad) going out from Cambois, out between the piers of Blyth, on the cobles and using hand lines to pull in the Mackerel. these were used for the lobster pots that were pulled up every so often as we traveld, from Blyth to opposite St.Marys Lighthouse at Whitley Bay then back. The men were doing the Cod fishing and in those days they came onboard very quickly and not to long before we were heading home, the coble laden with fish boxes full of cod.
We would stop at the Seven Stars, the men for there beer while we sat outside with our big bottles of Woods Lemonade or Orange. Later in life I was to have my first Blackvelvet there.

You could try a variation on these; the sand eel or redgill can be replaced with a baited pennel of hooks with different sizes.The hook lengths could be from 18" up to 12'. The more that's on the boat the shorter the hook length.
12 on the boat 18"
3 on a boat up to 12'

Elton. What's to be caught from the boats, this time of the year, in that area ?
Holderness Coast
in Sea Fishing
Posted
Monday 5th April, 5am up and ready for my pickup.
2hrs to Hull for bait, A & D Tackle Hull, are recommended, so we pop in and meet Mark the owner. Talk of where we were heading, Tunstall, gave way to other hotspots, on the Holderness Coast. After collecting the bait and bits that were required, we decided to try one of the spots Mark said does good. He also pointed out that this time of the year scratching about on the shore was a bit hit and miss.
We decided to head for Holmpton, as none of use had fished there before.
After the car was parked and on with our fishing clobber, off we went to look for that access down the cliff to the beach. We managed to find a spot to get down the cliff, as pointed out by Mark, and set up a base. The wind was a Westerly, so coming from behind us, fast broken cloud and rays of sunshine streaming across the beach and sea. The sea was flat and 2 hours before low, when we cast our first line.
Soon came the smell of bacon from the base, where Dave was preparing a nice surprise, Big Thick Bacon Butties.
Well the fishing was slow, or stop, as nothing was happening. The tide turned, again nothing but then we started to pull in the blooming crabs. 3 hours up and I had the first fish, a Whiting, this got us all back into positive thinking. Soon we all were catching, small Whiting and Flounder were caught, no rockling though. After another 3 hours things just slowed to a stop so it was time to pack up, as we had given it our best.
Clambering up the cliff, was easier than coming down, then the slow walk back to the car. Arriving at the car we were blowing and puffing, knackered, but felt as if the cobwebs had been blown from inside our heads. We changed out of our fishing clobber and loaded the kit into the car, sat for a couple of minutes to recollect the day.
Yes another days fishing, at a new venue, and one day we will be back to Holmpton, when the fishing is a lot better.
The car was started up and then we were off on our 2.5hr journey home.
