Potato Forks

[prof tench]

Hi just a quick question,

Anyone know where I can buy a proper flat tined (not square) 'potato fork' from for bait digging, preferably 'Bulldog' brand in the East Yorks area, as some toe-rag has nicked mine!

Cheers, P.T.

Got to agree with Basher, spot on Fork. About £20 from that place.

B&Q do a half decent fork for around £20, they have two models one from spear & jackson and the other is wilkinson sword, the latter i have been useing for the last two years and serves it,s purpose well enough.Must admit though the one from turner & charles looks a little beauty.

used a cheapo flat tined one for yonks came with a set or seperate for a tenner
you could bend it without trying but if its for digging worm it was fine and light aswell

Ta Codbasher3 and Mike,

I want one, they look spot on and a snip at £20-00. If I make my way up there, I might as well make a day of it and do a bit of fishing as well. Always liked the sound of Hawsker and Boulby (?spelling?), anyone know if they've been fishing and whether I need to let this northerly on these big spring tides pass by first?

Thanks again, P.T.

[Mike]

Hi PT, I'm not sure about Hawsker, but Boulby should fish well after this big blow up, BUT keep an eye on the tide cos you can get cut off if you don't watch the tide coming back in !

If I was to go to Boulby I'd try the Boiler-Hole that's your best bet, & plenty of Big Cod do get caught there. then on the way back I'd try the last hour or so just to the left of the Cowbar on the scar ! ( one never knows )
Have a look at this pic, I = Boiler Hole & II = where I'd try.

Hi,
Bought one from B&Q a couple of years or so back, can't remember make, but had a plastic handle and broke within 15 mins. Current one I use looks donkeys years old - was bought from a Market stall that sold old tools and garden stuff. He had quite a few, with Wooden handles - cost me a tenner. Might be worth a look if you have a decent market near by. Some of the old gear is made better than the modern stuff !!!
Cheers,
Mart.
