I was down at my Mum's in Kent at the weekend and we were rummaging through a load of old sheeeeeyte.

 

We found these old photos of some young thin bloke with some fish :hmm: :( :lol:

 

20lb 4oz Cod off the beach at Herne Bay back in the '70s :good:

Same fish. Been up all night. Very knackered - not really miserable :hmm:

Cod of 10lb or so and a little 'un off the beach.

The big 'un again, and a little 'un.

The silverware for the big 'un. Scooped a lot of gear for that one :oops::yes: Starting to put weight on here. Started to drink Guinness :good:

Cracking fish,and plenty suppers there.Are the days of catching fish like that from the beach gone or does it still happen?

 

 

Sadly, very rare now. You occasionally hear of a biggun but very scarce now. Even small ones seem to be cause for celebration now :yes:

Thas a real bootie Chard! No fishy's like that in the Mersey? Rory Gallagher used to wear a check shirt just like that mate.

Halcyon days in the 70's from the Kent beaches like Dungeness. The Norfolk / Suffolk beaches used to chuck up a few good un's. We used to take several fertilizer sacks with us to carry the fish back.

Cracking fish them mate especially the 20. ABU 454 Zoom?

 

I wanted a 484 Zoom, but got one of the early Zziplex rods instead. I made it up from a blank :lol: Best rod I ever had, far better than modern Zziplex :yes:

 

My ex-wife sold it :hmm::P:lol::P:lol::P:yes:
