Pretty sure Frazer's in Gateshead will have a few copies - if not I know for sure Lewis's in Whitley Bay have some in.

If you fish the North East coast this book is a must, If you know the marks it will bring back some great memories or if your like me and wanting to learn about them it will be an invaluable source of infomation.

I can't wait to get out fishing these spots now i know a bit about them.

Well done Stores & thanks for sharing.

I've just purchased a copy of your book, and I just want to thank you for producing the best book I've ever read to do with fishing. Your stories in the book has inspired me to take my 8 year old out fishing for the first time properly this year. I live in south shields and was brought up on south shields pier by fellow angler bob Patterson who taught me and several other young ones how to fish and read marks (knowledge), I then got a bit older (13) and my mam use to drop me and my friends off at Mardsen beach thinking we were just fishing the beach, but little did she know we ventured on to all the rock marks around Souter lighthouse(really dangerous I know) but that is how I know how to fish those marks. We do go to st Abbs and Eyemouth and fished a few of the marks you have mentioned but not all, which I am going to venture and try them. Just thought I would share to you what your book reminds me of when I was a young lad (even tho am only 25 haha). I hope you will write a similar book in the near future as this book was a pleasure to read , hope to hear from you
 
Hi Ryan and thanks for your kind words. I believe we all need a father figure, regardless of who's father it is, to guide us through an understanding of the sea, especially on our beaches, and it's that grounding that keeps us in good stead throughout adulthood. We've both been lucky, Bob like my old man, knows his stuff. The thrill, as you say, is taking yourself out of your comfort zone and applying your knowledge on unfamiliar ground.

pm me before you go up and I'll help as much as I can (remember I'm 300 miles away). There's loads more marks than there are in the book so if you fancy somewhere just ask and I'll give whatever advice I can.
 
such a great read and some of the mark's in it are amazing which will be getting fished in the future, as well as passing on 40 years of knowledge
 
The Codling Crouch was a great read and is unique in that to the best of my knowledge is the first published account of the fishing marks around the NE coast. I found the book really enjoyable and informative and it was also very kind of Stores to share his family memories. The book is a great reference for fishing over the borders and around Tynemouth and I will certainly be looking back at it in the future! Cheers Stores!
 
Thanks for the comments lads. David, just to let you know the books remaining are down to two figures now - don't leave it another twelve months lol.
 
Bought this book a few weeks back and read it from front to back. Just moved to cullercoats and with the sea lifting can't wait to use the information I have gained for it.

Many thanks for a writing a great book
