Grand old man and fisherman he was, with Tynemouth club, he wrote all the local sea fishing reports for the newspaper columns here, met him a few times at his house in Cullercoats,first time ever seen tanked bait, ragworm and lug, with a airpump that was 1974,was straight out get me own after seeing that ,all my middens rag alive and tanked after that.Knew a thing or two these old codgers about catching fish and keeping bait,just shows theres nothing new in this fishing game all been done before,we youngins just copy and got a lot too learn.What a call the good old days.

Yes your spot on Rapter, thats the very book. One of the lads in our boat club ( he is 70yrs ) found the book when his older brother died few weeks back and was clearing the house out, he lent me the book and i copied the photo. Was a good read that book.
