I guess us freshwater fishing folk are of few words  Has been quiet lately, will change once the trout season starts though 

[Davo]

Its because we are all in shock (since January) by Sams lure box. Also, Mbro Council want to borrow it for this years xmas decorations .

Only joking Sam-have you been doing owt, and have you got your Thornaby ticket sorted yet?

Hello Dave, haven't done much freshwater fishing at all this year so far  been out a few times sea fishing though.

I've got my Thornaby ticket  so I'm looking forward to fishing some of the waters. I'll be on the Swale soon to work on my fly casting (it's very poor!) and I'm keen to get on the Oxbow Lake  We'll have to have a session somewhere mate.

Hiya Sam.
No probs mate, just give me a shout when you fancy a session on the Swale or Ure. With regards to your casting, i'm sure we'll sort it out.  Ian will most probably be willing to help as well- like when we fish Cow Gree ressie or the Esk.  Its like everything else in life i suppose, some people struggle with some skills in angling such as fly casting or lure fishing. But i know the first person i'd turn too, to improve my freshwater lure fishing. How much do you charge Sam?

Dave

[Sambo]

Aye, looking forward to some sessions on the Swale/Ure matey. Soon as the season starts and I've got my van fixed we'll get for some fishing mate, I'll be on the Esk at Danby plenty if you fancy that as well?

How much do you charge Sam?

£15 per hour mate  if that's to expensive then I'll settle for a Cadbury's Whisper instead

If you are interested in doing a bit of lure fishing for Pike (or anything else) then let me know (I've got plenty of lures for you to use!).
Not sure how much (if any) lure fishing any of you guys have done but we could organise a day's lure fishing somewhere if you like? Bit like the Cow Green trip we could get a group of us together to reduce costs and head over somewhere like the Lake District for the day (beautiful place to blank if nowt else!). Maybe lure fishing is not everyone's cup of tea so some could lure fishing whilst the others fly fish, or do a bit of both.

Could make a thing of it where by one month we'll have a fly fishing session then the next month maybe a bit of Carp fishing for example. Just thinking aloud as it were

I think once people have been out a bit, especially as Easter Weekend is upon us that people will no longer have 'nothing to report'.
I did start my season at the weekend (Cumbrian trout season started on 15th) but despite cracking scenery it was still a bit early on the tarns.

[Davo]

Whats wrong with a Curly Wurly Sam?
With regards to going over the lakes, i'm up for it anytime, work permitting.  I've been plugging for pike on the Tees and a few other places, but i find the Tees to be more of a bait river for Pike, unless i'm just crap at lure fishing.  I've had jacks on pugs and 6 inch jack out on the fly and thats it, as far as the Tees goes that is.  My mate fished Yarm last week and saw a lad catch his first ever Pike-22lb. Then he had another one out that weighed just over 23lb. Not a bad start to his Piking career eh.

Question for you Sam.   Are there Pike in Ullswater?  I ask because, apparently there are no records of any being caught in that lake, which i find hard to believe.

[Sambo]

Ok Dave, I'll settle for a Curly Wurly  You drive a hard bargain!

22lb as a first Pike is good but talk about peaking way to early! I think it's better to work your way up to decent size fish, I'm still working on it! 

I don't know much about Ullswater and I haven't heard of much in the way of Pike coming out, good Perch/Trout water though (apparently). Derwent Water, Rydal & Grasmere are well worth a go though. you can pick up day tickets for about £6 which isn't bad, if a few of us go then at least the petrol bill will be a lot cheaper.

I'll be on the Tees in June, lots of potential with plugs (once you've found the Pike)

[bucko]

I know Ullswater fished well for trout at the weekend- some up to 2lb.
It was lovely and mild around the lower lakes.

Can't speak for anyone else but I "lurk" around this forum because I'm in West Yorks and don't get over to this area as often as I would like.

For the freshwater fishing I might have more to say once the weather warms up a bit. I fish around Scarborough when I get the chance but I get the impression most people in NY are allergic to fresh water (can't say I blame you having all that coastline to go at). I was pretty surprised that you started a freshwater section.

On the Sea fishing side I'm strictly part-time and am not sure what I could contribute to those threads. Reading them though has taken me from "well it's summer and my Pike gear should be OK" to 15ft rod, 8oz lead, 5/0's, multiplier and big storm night fishing in two seasons. So this board can't be doing a bad job. (got my first Cod in Nov. during that end of the world storm surge - at night  )

I don't expect people to give away their "marks" or other secrets. I enjoy reading about the fishing around NY so don't read too much into a high numbers of "lurkers" we are not all malicious

[Sambo]

Welcome 3x2

You'll find us all a friendly bunch that are more than happy to give out advice and details of fishing areas, be it freshwater or sea. I only live 2 miles from the sea but I only started sea fishing last October, we have some great freshwater fishing in North Yorkshire as I'm sure you already know.

Sorry matey but you are not allowed to lurk anymore, I'm afraid you'll have to talk to us lot now instead doesn't matter that you are in West Yorkshire, you are more than welcome.

That's a bit spooky - just sent the picture of your lure box(es) over to another forum. There's a guy on Yorkshire Fishing who is an out and out lure angler. Hope you don't mind.

My better half is from Scarborough so I get over there fairly often. I take the gear and get out and about whenever possible. My list of venues is a bit limited (don't drive) but I can usually get to Rosedale, Wykeham, Throxemby and, until they changed the rules, The Mere (think I might have to join). Even though I don't always catch much the Coast is my favourite venue ATM. There's something special about a beach at 3am.

I was looking at this weekend's weather and wondering if it's still worth getting on the train. Are there any Cod still around at this time of year? Like I said earlier I'm not after anyone's "mark" just a general idea as to whether the Cod are still around. It's OK for you lot but the closest I get to the beach most of the time is on webcams 

[Davo]

Psssst, 3x2 mate, Sam lends his lures out for a curly wurly anytime-but dont tell him i told you. But if you offer a Cadbury's Whisper, you'll get one his favourites.

Dave

[Sambo]

  Nice on Dave!

Actually you get preferential treatment Dave, cos it's you I'll settle for a Curly Wurly, anyone else it's a Lion Bar! 

[Sambo]

No prob 3x2, perhaps you can post a pic of his lures? We can compare poppers, mines 9"  but only 4" when it's cold 

My list of venues is a bit limited (don't drive) but I can usually get to Rosedale, Wykeham, Throxemby

I like fishing Wykeham in the warmer months, nice place to fish 

As for the Cod fishing, well, it's slow at the moment (well, it is for me!). Just been down to Runswick with Mattylamb, was getting bites but couldn't connect to anything 

[Davo]

I couldn't resist it Sam.
Mmmm Lion Bar eh? I hope they have trebles on if i have to cough up a lion bar Sam.

Cheers
Dave

[Sambo]

I hope they have trebles on

That would make it to easy for you if they did  still catch more than me mind

Glen I think it is because you have freshwater fishing above the sea fishing forum on the main page  and people are clicking on freshwater thinking it is the sea fishing forum , swap em round and see what happens . i always click on this one by mistake ......Cheers
