I had my fingers crossed it was marks or lynnes thats y I asked, shame it wasnt for all the effort theyve put in, I hope they caught something at least

thats a cracking halibut well done the man

No reason why we dont catch more, in Norway they are on the increase and they take pirks, shads, dead baits..i am sure a few more will turn up in our area...not heard of any from the Tyne yet.

That's one hellova flounder, well done to the skipper. Me thinks the whitby record could topple soon.
