Well if your using the axle I built you ...I reckon you may make it to Chester Le Street boating lake

eh?
any look over sea angler reports and regional club reports over the last 30 years and you'll see cod angling in the winter is just as popular across most areas of the country. Not as if it's some 'northern hardman (monkey) fishing for the proper stuff against his southern counterpart.

What are you on about? My comment had nothing to do with fishing tradition and preferences down south. And what's with the "northern hardman (monkey)" bollocks?

Ps - if the seas come away as we expect this weekend - pm me - I'll put you in touch with a couple of marks that WILL fish

MODEST man

The truth is, most people (despite their 'purported' help) will never tell you where is fishing

The truth is most people will - your arrogant and selfish attitude, thank god, is firmly in the minority.

A traditional cultural NE icon

and you still can mate...after a fashion. Places like whitley bay beach and Blyth as well as Horden have went daft this year with some good bags - 20-30 pound each angler on two occasions I've seen. The truth is, most people (despite their 'purported' help) will never tell you where is fishing. And before any one calls me worse than wrotten - I've been one of them. So wind it it before anyone starts. Ps - if the seas come away as we expect this weekend - pm me - I'll put you in touch with a couple of marks that WILL fish. And I'll also sell you some fresh crab - but it'll cost you £2 a shell.
pps - and for every catch report you see on here there are more that people will never share - greed rules my friend amongst the bitter majority of the elite class of our north east shore angling community.

I think you're the one who needs to wind it in.

I've been posting here for years, and the only reason I have never said where I've been fishing, is because I wasn't supposed to be there.

Just about everyone knows on here that I get most my fish around the Sunderland area, and I'll post photo's and locations if I can. My belief is you can go to the same mark the following day, but you have to figure out what state of tide, weather conditions etc - thats where you have to do your own homework.

So as for asking people to pm you for a mark that WILL FISH after the seas tomorrow, why not just list them - theres literally dozens on the North East coast that will give up fish.

The truth is, most people (despite their 'purported' help) will never tell you where is fishing. And before any one calls me worse than wrotten - I've been one of them.

By your comments below, you still are.

There is one is there? - I do believe you are firmly convinced you are part this imaginary group of special people. If there was such a thing as a genuinely elite angler he'd probaly be in his seventies, could still kick your arse and would be disgusted to be thought of as one of "the elite" just because he was a gentleman and an excellent angler.

You may catch a few fish rex, you're most very welcome to them.

The £2 a shell craic was hilarious as well - is a "Shell" what the in-crowd call a crab?

Just fallen off my chair laughing - very true, well put LOL

Modesty is a virtue seldom used these days - although for a newbie I'm one of the better ones

[davem2005]

Heres the reason that in olden days they never used two hook rigs here in the NE






That picture was apparently taken in whitby in 1913.

and here's hoping that someday .....

Those Cod are only 2lbers Dave...that's Tom Thumb in the middle
