Spot on chaps, but what was he doing so far North?

[codonly]

when fishing the mudhole he had a crack off so he's looking for his lead

[tony.codling]

The great man told me "when he was a kid, he used to fish the third bay
with a handline".

[jamiebrennan]

If you look carefully at the water youll see Glocka already looking for that missing lead!

No Jamie, the parasite will be looking for my pots.

mind you
changing the name to rutherfords rock would be a bit of a joke

[sless]

it wasnt mr johnson was it
hahaha

I've only ever seen him fishing once, but I don't think there is a man alive
that knows the rocks better than him. He knows every little "nook and cranny"
from Marsden to roker pier.

Not to mention his skill of sneaking up on you in the dark

Mr Chapman

Better Known As The Whitburn Ghost

[Mogthemackem]

Living in Whitburn I know Alan really well. He's offered to take me for a long walk from Whitburn to Marsden to point out all the marks but we haven't done it yet. Looks like I'm going to have to take him up on it. I've only fished with him once and he told me where I was it would start fishing first hour of the flood. Sure enough as soon as it started flooding - fish on. He defo knows his stuff
