A 4-6 lb (guesstimate) salmon caught from south shields pier yesterday at about 13:00 - 14:00 on daylights, just up from the blocks. Lucky bugger!

Not by me,unfortunately, just two mackerel for me. Few small coalie on the float/mackerel strip.

there are a few fish around Alan. myself, 2 cod from the rocks at craster last night and a young boy with good 5lb ling from dunstanborough today. no idea of his name though sorry

how big where your cod Mark

[marksworld]

they were both around 1.5lb, maybe a little heavier, nothing special, just nice to get out.

The young lad (a junior angler) who caught the ling at duns castle came into lewis tackle today when i was there, we verifided it and weighed it at 4lb 15oz, good size esp from shore and the lad was so please with himself and his dad was so prowd, so they should be. I told his dad to contact you and the fishing mags.

Hi Alan, just out of interest I looked up the qualifying weight for the Shimano Mission target in Sea Angler, convinced the young lad would qualify. It happened to be the Feb/Mar issue from earlier this year (the one with Stevie Williams & a flounder on the cover) and it turns out the target for "north" happens to be 5lb - However on p. 63 it just happens to list a shore caught ling from Dunstanburgh Castle of 7lb 2oz by Steven Hall from Easington (does seem to ring a bell with me that one).

Nevertheless I think 4 - 15 is a cracking fish for the young lad & I'm sure he'll do well in the young rods section if he sends in details, especially if he's got a picture. Definitely think it's worthy of recognition.

Cheers, Gary

Hi Kevin you where shopped long ago, unforetunately the Journal ran out of space and missed your bit out, see below. Honest they made me do it, they said they would stop my mackerel supply.

Another travelling angler who didn’t fare so well was Kevin Turnbull who’s club Seaton Sluice had a match at Carsethorn, Scotland, somehow Turnbull managed to blank in a match won with sixteen fish for 12lb 2oz taken by Martyn Pygall.
