Hi all, my real name is Ian but I only use that on a sunday, born in Billingham in 1960, brought up in Hinderwell north yorkshire.
Spent every weekend and school holiday at what I now consider the best low water mark in the north east -Port mulgrave. Married to Janet (had to give her a mention otherwise I\'d get grief), moved to Whalehill 15 years ago.
Three daughters, 1 grandson.
First sea fish I ever caught was a 27 ling when I was 14 fishing from my uncles boat (lena 2) at Port Mulgrave, caught the bug and switched to shore fishing 2 years later.
Biggest shore caught fish was a cod of 16lb 8oz from a gulley known as sheepstone near Staithes, one day I hope to beat that(wishfull thinking I know) but thats what drives me to get out there as much as I can no matter what the weather.
I\'m rather fortunate in my occupation (Health Physics Supervisor) as the majority of contracts are in nuclear power stations throughout the british isles, always on the coast.(loads of different fishing oppertunities).
I love meeting up and having a natter with other anglers whilst out having a chuck.
Worst point - I can be an angry little get ( i used to get called jack russel). Older and wiser now and learned to calm down a bit.
Love me lager, hate all the cr*p music thats about now, more into Bowie, and Punk.
I spent a lot of my spare time on the net or watching dvd\'s if her who shall be obeyed lets me (bless her).
At the momment working in Avonmouth so get to fish a lot of marks on the Bristol Channel, not as good as around here as far as I\'m concerned, but I am bias.
Hope to bump into one or two of you guy\'s and gal\'s when you come down to fish north yorkshire and have a chinwag.
TC keep up the good work mate this has got to be the best fishing site on the net.
