Catch Report "In the Whitley Bay Area"
The arrogance of some of these catch reports and anglers in general. How many times I've noticed bloated ego alighned with such confidence that dare they pronounce a rock mark within 20 meters of their recent sucess this will in some way will "deplete fish resource" or "run counter against some vain glorious ethos" that you must waste your time for 15 years before you acquire the 'knowledge' to fish traditional marks and be accepted amongst some weather worn jumped up cynical old timers.
Imagine surfers being so full of pride about some break here there or wherever. No wonder sea angling is the poor cousin of every other watersport, with the attitudes of most involved.
And the for the record. I fished the 'whitley bay area' last night [north wilkies] and landed 2 fish: a cod of 7"3 and one on 1"12. I then moved onto panama and got two more of 3"5 and 1"4.
There you have it.
No wonder the inclusiveness of surfing has backwatered sea angling.
Its a pseudo-exclusive sport these days. All the pity.
