Madonna, Seahouses ?

[BestNest]

Anyone fished on Madonna lately ? Any advice on what works best up there. It was the 1st boat my old man took me on when I was about 10. Well it's the same skipper, maybe changed his boat in 17 Year!
Any help would be champion. Cheers, STEVEO.

Hello Steveo,

I don't know about the "Madonna" but the two boats I go on are the "Unity" and the "Guide Me".

I know the fishing was poor with the bad start to the season weatherwise but it should be picking up a bit.
Prawn baited daylites and hokais work very well as does ragworm on a flowing trace.

I hope this helps mate, regards Ian

I have fished on Madonna before but mainly fish on Unity. Matty, the captain of Unity is a great lad and very knowledgeable. As has been said, a slow start to the season but starting to pick up now. hokais and prawns work well as do 4" shads in bright colours. give bluey and mackrel a go for the bigger fish and ling. 99% of the fishing out of seahouses is rough ground/reef.

we go out on Madonna in the summer. My mate refuses to buy bait and just uses hockeyes. He always does well. You cannot go wrong baiting them with prawns or worm.

Cheers for all info lad. Taken on board. Thing is now the wind looks to have put a doubt on the trip ! Sick ! Probably have to settle for a bit lure fishing of Beadnell point !
