David - got your book as a pressie for Chrimbo. It has probably already been said before - I think it is excellent!!!! Well Done m8!!!! It was also a bit of a bonus to read about Ronnie Miekle - he was my best mate way back in Infants/Junior School!

 

[kingfisher]

good reading one problem is once you pick it up you cannot put it down read it a couple of times now

 

[SIXFOOTSTEVE]

I got two copies for Xmas, so passed one to a friend to see if it inspires him to use his gear during the summer.

Just finished reading it and it makes me want to head up the coast now! and give it a go. The author has had alot more success than me around those marks.......but thats where experience and knowledge come in.

It will be interesting to see how popular the marks become during next summer and how many people need rescuing from the rocks.

The only downside that wasn\'t mentioned were those damn pesky divers.........

Must admit, whilst writing, the one worrying side of the book was the safety aspect but I think that the dangers are spelt out. The biggest problem with fishing Eyemouth and its surrounds is the swell they get and anglers getting washed away rather than people falling down the cliffs. With regard to divers you only really come across them in two places - Hairy Ness (divers mentioned) and sometimes south of Coldingham (Gogs has some real mates amongst the diving fraternity there).

Found this one circa 1970. Especially for you Jim lol

 

[willywetegg]

What a cracking fish mate, you look very proud lol. See I am just trying to emulate you David. How come there was no mention of them in the book lol.

Remember that hair style well lmao. Will have to have a look through a few of my old pics and give you a smile too mate.

Nice one.

Jim.

The Old Man on the right, my brother in the middle (gas on the board) and yours truly. Both the rods and reels my dad and I are using are still in use. Grahams is set up for a multiplier but the scarboro still rules lol

 

[willywetegg]

I am sure I met your dad once briefly lol. How long is it since he worked on Tynemouth pier mate.

Different Storey Jim, but one of the clan so never any chance of us getting kicked off by the plod. Can see the resemblence - will try to think of his christian name for you. Only after a few trips that it dawned on me why interlopers on the pier should drop off fish to the gadgey trying to stop us going on. Blood thicker than water eh.

 

[willywetegg]

Yes mate there certainly IS a resemblance and blood will alway\'s be thicker than water lol.

Jim.

 

[SIXFOOTSTEVE]

Looks like you had attitude back then David or maybe it was just the fish species that got to you lol .
PS ... is that really your brother or Michael Palin on one of his trips around the globe ?
Great pic mate.

 

[Stores]

In my post pubescent, spotty, greasy haired, alcohol free days that\'s as near to a smile as you got lol

 

[STEVO]

lol david you look like micky dolenz oot the monkeys
would make intresting viewing if everyone put a pic of themselves on from a few year ago ...

 

[willywetegg]

Lol was thinking about that last night Paul.

We did it a few years ago at the pub and it was hilarious mate.

Jim.
