Polite Notice

This is a sea angling forum for the debate of all angling related topics, including: shore fishing, boat and kayak fishing. Here you will find pictures of anglers going sea fishing and catching fish. You will find angling related debate. Sometimes anglers will retain fish for the table. Whilst we respect the personnal choice of anglers to follow catch and release practices, this is not a conservation forum and devout conservationists unable to accept anglers sensibly retaining fish should seek out alternative forums. Anyone preaching catch and release or criticising other peoples reports will have their posts removed.

Pleased as punch for you mate - happy days  ;D ;D ;D ;D, and one for the album - how far you've traveled since the day in Whitby Tackle shop when you were stocking up on traditional cod gear and I said you really need some of these lures "I think I'll take one, maybe two" and when I said you really need two rods one for cod and a light lure rod you looked at me as if I was taking the p**s - if I remember rightly you compromised by buying a cheap 10 pound reel so that you could "adapt" your 30lb cod rod into working a plug  :o :o - but it could have been worse you could have thought then "ice pike" rods were "ideal for kayaks"  ::) ::)

I like your "for some reason I stopped" description where you hooked the fish - don't let anyone tell you that it's purely down to luck - it's experience and knowledge coming into play - the backbone of any good angler  :) :)

Anyway less of the pleasantries, don't think you'll knock me off for long old boy  >:( >:( >:( >:( >:(

Well done Dave

like to say a big thank you for all the nice things been said, the experience has been enhanced by the great reception i have had from this forum :-*. I look forward to meeting a few more members in person.
I have come a long way in a short time, but am well aware how fortunate i am to have latched on to a fish like that. I know there a great many much better angler's than me, who may never have the same luck. but am sure it will give you all the encouragement to keep trying. Saying that it has only further enthused me to push on & get better, expect to see the orange yak turning up in a few unexpected places next year,plus i have bought myself a mike ladle bass rod so maybe theres a shore caught Bass with my name on it ???.
Also beware the defeated champion, the quint will be fired up to regain top spot, & jellyworm might finally get tired of Whiting so hold the front page. ;D ;D ;D
