cabin fever set in

[smoggiesimon]

need to get out fishing friday as i have not fished for a couple of weeks now thru work and other things. Been thinking either shields peir or maybe a trip down to the wear and fish the ratty only probelm being the last time i fished the ratty i ended up with a 5oz sinker in the head of a lad who was trying to do a pendulum cast so that put me of the ratty. So any suggestions on both would be good.

Been lucky m8y....
Gana be a strong westerly, think I'm fishing North Shields Fish Quay into the morning! Gana be hard going!

same as u best nest all them old football injuries but i must say and agree with you it was the worst pain and it was a total shock could not believe it as i was watching him do it and i was a good distance away from him saying to myself that leads get a bit close the all of sudden crack and then blood

[smoggiesimon]

try from the barrier onwards up to the bunker and the roundhead seaward side

talking to a lad at work last nite he said to fish the inside at the second set of steps about a 50 yard cast you can hit a very deep bit of water
