NESA lonely hearts club!

[james89]

Intermediate sea fisherman, 26 GSOH seeks another fisherman of similar age for fishing trips (and nothing else..!).

Basically, I'm after a fishing buddy. I'm based in Gosforth, Newcastle and tend to fish the area from Seaton Sluice to Blyth Pier and parts of the Tyne such as Spillers and St. Peter's basin. Up to now I've only fished by myself - although I tend to chat to other anglers when they're about.

I fish at least once a week - mostly on Sundays with the odd mid-week session thrown in after work if time allows. Have got my own car but would want to share fuel costs, bait costs, lift share etc. Just common sense stuff really.

It'd be good to learn with someone else as I have only been sea fishing for about 2 years now, although I must admit I've got a case of 'all the gear and no (maybe a little) idea!' I'm not opposed to beginners - you might learn something from me too! Also, if you're not a member of NESA and are a bit of a 'lurker' feel free to join and get in touch.

Send me a PM if you're interested.

Cheers,
James

Why don't you join one of the clubs, mate? Tynemouth, Whitley, Seaton Sluice ... there's loads of them. It costs next to nothing and you'll learn as much as you want to from all those other anglers.

Your best bet is like said join one of those clubs or tag along with someone who is a bit older and has been fishing for years with plenty experience and can put you on some good marks and help with tactics just depends how far you want to take your fishing best of luck m8

The regular on local piers are always a good start aswell. Just be chatty and once your recognised it can be a good laugh mate. Club might be the way forward though....

james just talk to juliogeordio (marc) he talks to any one
jesting aside I have found the lads that fish shields/ tynemouth pier in the winter months are good crack and will help you out.
as said before there are some good local clubs that will always welcome new members.

Give Longbenton club a try, great bunch of lads £10 a year subscription and match fee's are optional

Thanks lads.

I've had a bit of interest so we'll see how it goes. If not I'll probably end up joining one of the local clubs.
