If I remember correctly, the Grey brothers had the "Tynewinder". Anyone remember Micky Devlin, he had an old trawler he used for charters. Bit of a bugger was Mickey but a great guy with it. He used to pick up punters at various points along the river, and when he got to North Shields fish quay he used to tell everyone to get below. The reason for this was so that he could take on the last dozen anglers waiting to board, because Mickey knew that the "man from the ministry" would be counting them on. By the time they got out the piers she looked like a Vietnamese refugee boat, with bodies coming out from all over her.
"Hairy", but fun with it, we didn't think of life jackets and things like that when we were young and daft, oh! happy days.
The first boat to actually start taking charter parties wrecking out of the Tyne was the "Briar" skippers name was John, he lived at Stanley. In those days we didn't have Sat Nav's it was the old Decca Navigator. Many times we would set out for a wreck maybe twenty miles or so off and I can't remember how many times we would be just a couple of hundred yards from the mark and the Decca would go on the blink, as I said happy days.

I used to go out on an old wooden boat from the tyne called the Team in the early 80's when i was a kid, Bob Vaisey (?) the skipper was called and he only used to charge £5 for kids and £10 for grown ups
My mother would go mad when i fetched bags n bags of fish home, she'd say " can you not chuck them back, you got my kitchen stinking of fish"It's a thin line that seperates an Angler from a madman standing on the beach in january at midnight in -5 degrees with a northerly wind blowing in your face
