80s sea fishing

[iggy]

Fishing in the 80ss was unbeleivable 20lb ,30lb cod were caught more or less every day back in those days you could have litterally walked on cod off whitby not to want those days back seems a little strange.

My Beaches between Kessingland and Pakefield were always full in the Whiting Season but now Computer Games, the internet and Sky TV stops anglers getting out there fishing, The Whiting and Cod are still there but the anglers are not.

Sorry Brian, I forgot I made most of the pictures on the site viewable to members only. Ive open it now so you should be able to see them. The docs photos also make for interesting viewing as he is also one who fished at Whitby back then.

Aparently this is 4 fish on 1 trace.
