Last time I was up that way,the gate at the far end of the quarry was locked so we couldn't get along to the tree mark,the midges in this area are bloody fearsome to say the least,even by covering myself in skin so smooth,I still couldn't avoid these beasties. Snatcher your not losing the plot mate ,the beauty of the landscape/wildlife is one of the joys of fishing.(it is for me,anyways.) cheers

sounds like a good idea this microwave to defrost/warm up the bait.I'm gonna give this a shot,pick a heavily coloured sea and see how it goes from there,I'll let you know how I get on. Might even try it as a ploy at the Newbiggin Open this Sunday,some geezer won with 6lb odd of flatties last year,so you never know. As for the mussel-shelling Arthur probably the worst job of all the bait gathering tasks mate,but it's a must,just got to have mussel and tons of the stuff too. cheers

I've used that runnidown but with little success.always got razor/clam for howick/boulmer tho. cheers

sounds like a grand little session,good photos,cheers....

well put summer,satisfaction comes from all the prep/homework and getting it right,I'm still hopeless at comps tho.daylight scares me.

never caught a sizable bass locally,I'm always amazed when I catch one, usually fishing for codling etc on the beaches when I get one. I have heard of bigger ones caught but I do'nt think people target them much around here.

When and where summer, or is it a secret? good tides later in the month 18th/19th got to head somewhere when they are that low...

Any chance of a sample?

most of the angler's up this way buy farmed rag as it's on the doorstep at Lynemouth.I don't think you can buy it any cheaper from the grower because of tackle shops complaining to the company that it was'nt worth selling it if they undercut then from the door! I'm far to stingy to buy worm and also enjoy the fact that I catch fish on rigs I've tyed ,bait I've collected etc...

Ok it was caught in 1975 by a work mate of mine,but how do I get it from my pictures onto Angler's net???

some cracking cod seas up here lately if it was oct/nov.but crap for much else really,the crab peel has suffered too,I'm trying to find some to buy,what with cold weather and work.it's all too much really...oh dear.

Thats the one Norm,it holds tons of line and seems to be in good nick.I don't know where I'll use it tho,but if I do fish deep water hopefully it'll do the business..

Also fished Clashnessie a few years ago,catching good Plaice and eating tons of Mussels.

sorry to pop the question chaps, but has anyone got any gen. on these old reels. I have been given one {you know the score neighbours know your'e into fishing and give you things...} are they any good for modern day fishing.I know for certain some of you's are gonna tell me that you've been fishing with old gear for years without any probs.well I'd certainly like to hear about that to.cheers

Hundred quid set-up lads,can you give me more info?
