Had a short trip out of Amble on Sunday as conditions seemed ok. left marina around 3.30 and once we dropped some line quickly realised the offshore wind was making us drift really quick, our lines literally went sideways rather than down 
heavier leads applied and we were still struggling to hold bottom and I lost more rigs in that session than on the last 3 or 4 trips.
No mackerel about ? have they gone ?
Fish tally was 3 codling of around 1.5lb 2 pollock 1 Coaly all returned. Killer bait was raw prawns from Amble market. Wouldn't trust them for human consumption but fish loved them
Bit of engine startup trouble had us drifting rather close to Coquet Island eventually she fired up and we called it a day returning to marina around 6.00.
Was nice to be out but fishing was poor. Big tides and strong offshore wind probably not helping.
sorry no photos, nothing worth showing.
Don't think I have an invite out this weekend so back on the beaches, had my first reasonable sized codling last friday evening 41cm, returned and was pestered by small coalies and whiting.
tight lines
