Hi all, I am back after a forced sabbatical and raring to go. Are macky, phish and lugsy still about. Met in Bridlington last year and it would be nice to share a gossip over a beer this year. Would like to get in touch for some info later for the comp lads. Regards, BB

[kensr27sz]

if you get any info pass it on as i need a few marks for down there, tried maccys site but couldnt reg same prob with nea.

[boybilly]

No problem Ken. Fished it for the last four years so we know a little bit about the area but we need to know where is fishing at the time. There are about 20 coming up from Weymouth and surrounding areas. Where are you coming from. BB

[kensr27sz]

coming from sunderland only been once before that was the year before the foot and mouth, me and my mate got nothing dont know any marks apart from a few given by other members of nesa but havent been able to try any . my prob is my wife is going and it has got to be fairly easy going for her ,we dont mind walking a fair distance as long as there is no rocks to climb over as she tends to fall over. saying that she normally out fishes me. might bump in to you down there. any white rag where you come from . if you dont want to broad cast about whites pm me . cheers m8 hope fully see you there as we are booked in a caravan there for the weekend .

[boybilly]

Plenty of peelers down here mate but not much in the way of white rag.Not going to bother with them this year. Big crab baits and all out for a decent cod. If you are fishing the comp and want some peelers brought up let me know. Do hermits work up there?

[kensr27sz]

as for crabs m8 yes please let me know how much , hermits i dont know as i have not tried them but have heard of some people asking for them so they must work for something , cheers again m8 . do you get fresh peeler now as i have a big club comp coming up in about a week and would love to get hold of some for then as well .but if you cant or or none about no problem . you will have half of the board asking for them now as none up here at the moment ,

[kensr27sz]

just heard on a different post hermits are great for cod so any available cheers m8 .

There are about a dozen of us coming over from Meltham. Which caravan park did you manage to book? We were in the holdiay chalet park next to the social club last year but they aren\'t taking bookings until Easter this year, and so far as we could tell nor were any of the others.

There are a fair few beaches that are \"easy access\" (you don\'t need to bring your own ladder) but particularly on the clay cliff beaches, beware of getting cut off at high tide. I think that there was a run down of marks and access in last year\'s February Sea Angler.

[kensr27sz]

not so much fun trying to get out with a bloody big box on your back m8 ,even worse when you get nowt .

[Fishery Pokery]

Is anyone else fihng it? I am thinking of going down and spending the night int the back of my van.

[kensr27sz]

if you go in the back of your van make sure you have a gas heater with you , when i went it was about minus 3 and snowing when we tried to put up or trailer tent . you need some kind of heater or you will freeze .

[Fishery Pokery]

Thanks.
I was thinking about taking a calor fire but am worried about getting gassed.
