Greg on the move

A COUPLE of weeks ago we were contacted by our old friend Greg Forester at Worksop Angling Supplies who informed us that the tackle shop has moved to a much larger premises, 50 yards up the road.

The business is celebrating its silver jubilee this year and has been, in one form or another, situated on Retford Road for all of those 25 years - and has now in fact returned to near the site of the original shop.

With the added space Greg has split the shop into two separate specialists disciplines, covering both coarse and carp angling and is continuing to supply frozen sea baits and pike dead baits.

We wish Greg and his team all the best for the next 25 years.

The predator scene has been fairly quiet this last week on Sandhill Lake, but we do have some unconfirmed reports of decent catches in Shireoaks basin on the Chesterfield Canal, and the Torksey arm on dead baits.

If you have been fishing either of these venues with any degree of sucsess please contact us with your reports, preferably with a photo.

On the coastal front, after the recent Northerlies the top end of the Holderness coast is showing quality bags of whiting and sporadic catches of cod pushing double figures, with peeler crab and gully lug appearing to take the better specimens.

Further down towards spurn the sport is bound to improve now the recent massive amounts of fresh water from the Humber is dissipating.

For more up to the minute information you can contact Roger on the above number.
