We have great friends in the U.K. and I am proud they have formed a chapter of the club.

A cane/brass vintage landing net , one of 4 similar made for self and friends.

Had a days charter fishing out of Hartlepool today. Not a bad day for me, had some Cod, Pollack, Ling and Mackerel. taken on a variety of gear, home made Daylight lures, Shads, and Muppets. Not actually certain how many I caught, as I was gutting and filleting as I was catching. These are a couple that I snatched a quick photo of , the bucket at my feet had some in as well. Ended up with 36 big fillets, so happy with the day ! Dave AKA The Third Earl.

Just a quick word to say hi to all of you on that side of the pond from someone on this side of it.
