Now then Darren, my name's Lee. You must be the Darren that Stef was telling me about, mad on fishing! He gave me your Noggy number so I'll get in touch when I get back out next week sometime. I'm staying in Sola, found a nice deep water rock mark near Olberg where I've had some Kelpies on...

Have a look through here Pierat. Have you bent the spindle at Seal Goit hauling fish out? http://www.mikesreelrepair.com/schematics/

There's no membership now mate so forget about your card, you can still drop the 'new security' a couple of quid to keep an eye on your motor.

Fished well Thursday daytime with plenty up to 6lb, also heard of a 12lber but didn't see it meself. Thursday night was patchy with fish to 4lb and a 3lb Haddock. Was only small Coalies and Dabs today, with Whities coming on in the dark as I left, a couple of doggies were caught though, and a...

A Conger's upper jaw extends further than the lower jaw, and it's dorsal fin starts at the pectoral fin. A Common's lower jaw extends further than the upper, and it's dorsal fin starts further down it's back. Sorry, I can't help you with the difference between a Cod and a Ling!

Yes TC I did, and have read it. Likewise, when someone tells me they caught a fish, my immediate response is \'how did you get it off the hook?\'

Hmm, the RSPCF, good one conger! Charlie has done nothing at all wrong. He just done something that he wasn\'t aware of, and that\'s why I originally posted to make him, and others aware of the weakness of a mackeral as there was nothing on the site to inform anyone of this. Now that Charlie...

That quote is probably correct morgs, I wouldn\'t have thought all fish to die. As in catch 300, keep 21, release 279, 300 die!

I think the reason there is an interest in how you returned your fish Charlie, is because mackeral die after being handled. I\'d guess a very, very high percentage of anglers, especially the mackeral brigade, don\'t know about the fragile flesh of a mackeral, as it hasn\'t really been known...

What\'s your question?

I\'d rather eat a pouting, coalies should be returned unless injured badly, they are are strong, tough fish that doesn\'t taste too good in my opinion. But if you like them, keep them.

Sounds like a belter of a rod lew! Never seen one in the flesh mind.

Try the Steetley Pier in Hartlepool mate, it\'ll save you a journey. High water early in the morning for plenty of mackeral, or bait fish anytime for flatties.

Cheers dave, much appreciated.

Can anyone tell me which admirality chart number I\'d need for the inshore waters around Hartlepool please. I\'ve looked through loads of them and can\'t find any I recognise. Cheers, Lee.
