Dear all,
I am from Teeside and have been fishing for a couple of years on and off, i am at the point now where i would benifet from a experienced angler showing me a new trick or two.
If there is anyone out there from my area who would be kind enough for me to tag along when their go fishing i would really appreciate it.
Non of my friends go fishing and dont want to start, i think ive put them all off boring them with my tales of days out.so if there is anyone who could help give me a shout.

Cheers- steve swan

Dear All,
Thanks to the one member from admin who tryed to prompt some members to help me out, however it looks like nobody can be bothered helping a fellow angler out,i really thought someone with a bit of experience could help me, if i had the money i would pay for professional coach,unfortunitly that just isnt realistic, I enjoy fishing that much i just want to learn as much as possible theres only so far you can go with books and dvds to learn from.never mind.

Sorry Steve, but I am nowhere near you. You will find that if you can't help out, you don't reply to posts. You leave it to someone who can. The majority if our original members are from the midlands, I'm from the northwest, and would be no use to you.If you post questions we might be able to help you out, but as for personal/on site coaching, I don't think we have enough members in your area. Sorry mate

Try to get involved with any matches we run, they aren't that serious and I'm sure someone will take time out to give you a few pointers

Honestly, it aint that we "can't be bothered"

Swany76, its just possible that your North East location is the stumbling block, do you drive and are you willing to do a meet up at a North East venue or possibly pick some one up, Daves suggestion of going along to an open and having a session behind a couple of anglers would be of benifit, try not to skyline them though and only engage in conversation if they speak to you first, you will find most will willingly talk to you after a match, I have sat behind some great anglers and learned a fair bit by just watching some will converse during a match some wont. Have you thought about joining a local club thats as good a place as any to find a mate, you at least get to share experiences and two heads can be better than one.
Again like Polepot I am too far away to personally help but ask a few questions on the forum and I am sure you will get a good few replies.
I hope this helps a little and by posting regular you could just locate a NE mate.

Cheers Lads,
I will take all that on board and like you say i can always ask question on here.
Thanks again for taking the time to reply.
Swany 76.

Steve, any time you are down towards Yorkshire I will meet up with you for a days fishing if you want.... have you ever been to The Oaks at Sessay we have a few members who fish there and sure some of them wouldnt mind you going along.
