[fishing bairn]

Cheers very much mate

[g-force]

Hi mate, bit of a late reply (been fishing a match up the tyne tonight), Seany beat me to Alan's list of dates - there are also the Rutherford's matches at the Copthorne Hotel (right among the bridges on the Tyne & where I've been tonight). These are six league matches, all fished 7.30 - 10.30 pm, the rest of the dates being:

Monday 29 June
Weds 15 July
Weds 29 July
Fri 14 Aug
Fri 28 Aug

details from Andy Rutherford (Rutherford's Angling) - 0191 565 4183

They also have their open at the same location this Sunday from 1 - 5pm, details from Andy as above.

In the Blyth area specifically, there aren't many matches being fished at the moment, but there are a couple of clubs in the area who fish their own summer matches - some in the area & some away. I fish with the South Beach club who organize occasional summer matches (things like a mackerel session on the pier) and the odd trip up the coast. These are usually put together at shortish notice (unlike the winter matches which are all laid out) to take advantage of a favourable forecast & such. Drop me a pm if you want any details.

Cheers, Gary
