Thanks swordfish,
What was the title of the book from Tynemouth? I remember catching a butter fish and if it hadn't been for a book - I'd still be wondering what it was.

[Ddywalgi]

Thanks Phill itofish - I have bookmarked, studied and dreamed about the marks you have shared with us.
Thank you for your Fantastic work, it is much appreciated. I do intend to buy The Codling Crouch this week and I also have your bing maps added to my favourites. I open them each day and smile.

I definitely include your maps as an essential in my fishing bible.

Hi g.ordon fishes are mentioned in the bible - I can't find anywhere to indicate where he caught them though or what bait he used.
Your luck will change g'ordon with each tide. Hopefully for the better.
My river fishing was worse than my lottery last year. I won £58 on the lottery ..

[Ddywalgi]

Thank you Ian,
Mike Ladle is a household name ..
Here is his Sea Water Diary
Fly Fishing from Rocks.
I've never succeeded yet [unless you include mackerel] but it can be done.

Brilliant series of Angling stories.
Thank you.

Anthony Pearson is sought after- 1960's but the methods still apply £36 for his book - bass mostly
I adore Bass fishing ... My 6500ct mag didn't know what hit it, coupled with an apolloI 12ft ... light yet quick retrieve and always I knew what the fish was doing.
High speed reels weren't just for casting.

Another part of my Bible was the sea fishing magazine such as Total Sea Fishing and Sea Angler. It kept me informed of the latest techniques, gear and Total fishing always had a brilliant venue report.
And there was always the chance of a freebie on the cover.
