north star hartlepool

[lingking]

the day had arrived i was going on the north star
although i had spoken to jim(skipper) a few times theres always a bit of anticipation/nervousness about meeting someone for the first time

are you going to instantly dislike him is the boat a pile of crap is the crewman a tosser

im delighted to say NONE of my fears were founded

met jim and chris at the fish dock (secure parking,your locked in that way jims sure of gettin your money)

down to the boat do you want tea or coffee fom chris ho ho this is my kind of boat

as a newcomer jim gave me a tour of the cabin,safety gear etc.

the cabin is massive,with a CLEAN flush toilet,gas cooker,and plenty room to get all anglers in,its damn near luxury standard.

there were 8 of us on board plus chris and jim,5 regulars myself and another 2 lads

ling was to be the fish of the day at least 3 double figure fish and quite a few more,cod were scarce on the day,and then the usual mackarel and quite a lot of good sized whiting

at £25 for 10hrs at sea,coupled with tea/coffee and chris and his banter/comments plus a canny bunch of lads one of my better days ill be back on sept 11 wind and weather permitting

Duncan , you're a scream mate , I burst out laughing at this report , I can just imagine you on a blind date , having a sneaky look first to see if she's a minger , glad you enjoyed your day out , I buzzed the Warlord today looking for someone that looked like he might be a Duncan , I think they all thought I was a nutter driving round her in circles
