Reg was good enough to sell me some of his stock.

Huge things at 50p each.

Cheers reg you're a star.

The silent majority

Hi folks,
hope everybody is good?

i just want to add something to some of the comments being made about people who don't get that involved with some of the chat on here, and don't post on a regular basis.

I am one of those people !
I get on when i can, and i look to find out if there are any fish coming off, and to look for latest tackle tips.
I only contribute to threads where i think i can add something positive, and helpful.
Living in the middle of the country, and with a demanding job / family, and other fishing interests, my time available for chasing cod is very limited. It has to be planned, especially bait sourcing, so yes I do glean info. from the site, and i will state that i am very grateful to those that do post.
Thing is, as with a lot of forums at the moment, some of the reactions on here can be intimidating, and so a lot of guys who don't have all the best gear, can't designate the time, don't have the expertise, or confidence, stay in the background.... and who can really blame them ?
All I ask is don't tar them all with same brush !
At the moment I fishing with 4yr old frozen crab & cart, managed to stock up with blacks 2 year ago,( Who-hoo fresh bait ?), do i catch loads...no...do i enjoy myself ...yes ! It isn't work, it is my me time, and I enjoy the craic of other anglers !
With claim jumpers...easy...don't be so specific..a general area will suffice...the majority will fish their favourite mark anyway...and are just interested to know if there are a few fish about!
I have met some great human beings whilst fishing...and to be honest very few bad ones !
" Fishing a night session @ Outgang Whitby last year and a bloke walked from a 100yd away to offer me a tip light for my rod, as he thought i couldn't see any bites, he didn't realise i had 1/2 a dozen in my bag, but don't like using them, as they make my eyes go funny, preferring to use tip tape and my headlight!....that summed up an angler to me !"

All good mate.
I can't see why the mods would warn you, I didn't say I got crab off you from here.

Get back onto them and have them retract the warning and issue you with an apology.

How's you doing anyway?
Still caravaning?

Well I'll be posting a report with pictures tomorrow as I'm fishing South Shields Pier but I can't guarantee there'll be them elusive things called fish in my pictures lol.

[regpude]

good luck.
looking forward to your report.

Tch, Reg breaking the rules again, you little tinker.
Canny thread this, some good replies, i don't get out as much as a used to, but when a do, a say where av been, what av used and what av caught, it only help's lad's consider sea condition's and what was where, ( OR NOT). In my opinion, it won't matter if it's my favourite mark, it will very rarely fish two day's the same.
This site's still all about help and knowledge.

I wouldnt be bothered about letting others know when and where I have caught fish (rarely catch out worth mentioning) by the time I get round to posting it there would of more than likely been at least two tides and no two tides fish the same.I dont do faceache its bad enough having to take my mobile with me before my heart attack last year it stayed in the car but she who must be obeyed insists on ringing every hour to make sure Iam ok so its here or nothing for me

[jakey]

Lot of stuff said about where and when and not sharing info, I have caught and still get a lot of fish throughout the winter, but I put a lot of time in. I will share my knowledge with a anyone who asks me, but I am going out at all hrs and all winter. If anyone wants to catch fish you have to put the time in, or it is purely chance if you get into fish. But as I say ì will help anyone but they need to ask.

well said mate
