I wont get up there to fish mate but would be happy to 'sponcer' a forum member to fish it. I think that would be a good idea for someone to pick up and run with.

Nice idea Kiwi,

Any forum member fishes it, bung your name up here and I'll donate another £20.00 into my local post office. The situation is just so awful I can't really comprehend the numbers so am glad to give.

Go fishin for a good cause guys.

I'll be going, more just to donate the money than to compete.

Next question, is anywhere fishing at the moment. I have been of blyth a few times and there are hundreds of whiting all about a 1/2 to 1lb in weight.


PS - well done to all those shops suppying the prizes, looks like they have been very generous.
