shanka,s first outing

[basscatcherbob]

our first full day out of the season couldnt have been better, a cracking day weather wise, 18 cod to 6lb between the four of us, we fished off the yellow can with a variety of hokkais rippers and lures, but it was the squid that done the business nice to meet norman off here and the great wallsendo who we know already, cant wait for the next trip.

Stingray Arvor 18, you cant miss it as it has orange fenders lol, its just only about 4 boats from yours past the two quicksilvers.

[Charlton]

and don't forget to send me your catch reports and photos, and if you get a big un, give me a ring and I will come and get photos. Of course that's if you are relatively local to Cullercoats.

Been down the mariner today, checked the boat out and fitted the new fuel filter system. Check Slinky Kate,Angle and Shanka...all fine with the shocking strong winds, could not stand up walking along the pontoon.

[Norman]
