True. Dobbie weighed in nearly 150lb once.Is it true that people used to carry massive bags of doggies etc across them fields to the weigh in or am I getting mixed up with somewhere else
I remember stringer saying “I’ve only got the one but it’s strapped to the top of the car”

Aye. I had 42lb of fish one year and managed 4thIs it true that people used to carry massive bags of doggies etc across them fields to the weigh in or am I getting mixed up with somewhere else
Winner had 99lb from the foxes snoot. He had to make 2 trips with all his fish. It crippled me taking my fish back to the car in blazing hot sunshine.
Used to be some good fish weighed in up there though, smoothies, thornys, Tope, Pollack, I even had a 3lb plaice one year.

I think I’d rather blank to be honest than do two trips with that amount of fish
Aye I’ve heard some good stories about stringer on the flat rock at balcary
Supposedly he had three fish for over 100lb in its heyday
He got washed off one night and only got out because he had hold of someone’s line. Very lucky

Very true. A lot fish or have fished for England.
I broke into the top 100 (penn points) about 15 year ago.
Mind I was fishing comps 3 times a week. Loved it. Then got into pond fishing (matches) for about 3 year.
Wees that
I think I done Gambia with stringer once.

He's had some beauties out Ower the years.
Still think Alan Chapman is the top boy in the whitburn area..
Stringer was a legend along the northeast coast mind.
Saw him in action once at whitley Bay & it was a fish a chuck.

Chappa was the boy tbf. Very good friend of mine.

Really? Fished with him on white rocks a few times.
I used to be a member of whitburn angling club so I used to fish a lot of the haunts around there.
Think he got the record fish from white rocks. 28lb, maybe heavier. Gordon happer helped land it.
Miss the rock edge fishing although I am starting to learn the Scarborough marks.

I think I’d rather throw myself over the top than attempt to fish some of them Scarborough marks like I’d be a trembling wreck they’re f***ing mad going down some of them
Everytime I see him pop up on the fishing pages he always seems to be trying to rub some fucker up the wrong way
Heard he’s a hell of a fisherman/ caster like but I don’t know him.
Few of my mates do like

Would never go on marine drive & climb Ower the railings.
Aye he's a good angler mate is leason but a big headed fooker who loves himself.
Has a knack of catching big fish but he never broadcasts the blanks he's had. Could be down there 7 nights a week.

Catching those Chub right between the second and third stack.
Get it short a massive snag.
Only wanted luncheon meat. Tried pellet and boilee paste nothing for 3 hours then switched bait and started catching.
My Mate was the in swim downstream and struggled.
The Wye is also a decent Salmon and Trout River.
What a stunning River and place. You definitely learn and a new water.
Hoping to get a day on the Severn with another Mate. Big Baggies fan @Boinger.
Love my fishing. Takes away the shite from Supporting Swindon.

Knew Alan from when Dave Bolam used to have Tennicks in Sunderland, fished with him a few times on the boats with Davy, top bloke. I was fishing the top of the Wherry one night, when out of nowhere he asked me if I'd caught owt - never seen him coming, nearly fell off the cliff, but apparently I wasn't the only one he done it to
The North east brought up some great anglers in the 80's, Jim Dobie and Alec Harvery were unbelievable anglers then. I fished next to Jim in the Isle of man festival in 84 as a 18 year old lad, learnt loads from him, so much so I won my zone on the last day. It was a pleasure to fish the opens then, watching the likes of Stringer, Bob Gascoigne, Arthur Smeaton etc ply their trade.

Aye Dave Bolam still has a boat in the marina moored next to me dars.
Some cracking anglers there like.
Haha Alan was the whitburn ghost alreet..
Fishing Jackie's beach 1 neet & I only had one cod. Chappa comes down 3 in 5 casts. Biggest 7lb. Then went to the pipe end & got another 4. He knew the ground like the back of his hand.
Amazing what you can pick up fishing with a top angler

Has he still got the Volante? Years since I seen Davy, went out on the boat with him a few times.
