Here's an old clipping from Angling Times 1982 when muggins had the best fish of the day - must have a rummage around to see what else I can find.
PS tried to link this with Photobucket but kept getting hit with "invalid file" - guess I've a way to go to figure how to get piccies on here properly!Attached FilesLast edited by g-force; 12-01-2009, 09:28 PM.....fishin' accomplished......

Didn't sea angler run a feature about the wrecking at Eyemouth with Jim Dobie, Alec Harvey and Chris Stringer?DavyComment

I must have missed that one - I do remember doing some piccies for a Sea Angler article Chris did on fishing the Tyne (around the Ice House) sometime 82/83, but I've long since lost the copy I had. Unfortunately we didn't catch much that day!Originally posted by Davyred View Post....fishin' accomplished......

It would be great if we could get a "classic catches" page started up for old clippings like this. Fascinating reading.

I think that after a day at sea the best description was, as Billy Connoly used to say, "windswept & interesting"Originally posted by johnf View Post
I'd definitely second the proposal for a "Classics" section.

It would be very easy to make a new sub forum in the shore fishing section for threads like this if there is going to be enough interest. These threads only seem to come up now and again unfortunately but it would be canny to have them all in one place. If you think it will get used I can make a place for them, what are your views, would it be worth it?

That particular Winter season was a freak, I remember it well. Don't get the idea that it was like that all the time it wasn't, you could catch good bags of fish but not in those numbers.
I had 6 or more sessions that season where I had over 20 cod per session including my best ever of 47 from the Blast Beach, even then I practised conservation and only took 6 fish home from that remarkable night. Apart from that I couldn't have carried the buggers if I'd wanted to.
As I said earlier it was a freak Winter but the 70's were better still for pure consistency.Comment
