First report of 2014!!
After not taking the opportunity yesterday afternoon into evening ( still regret it), I was determined to get 'amongst em' this morning, headed out into a sea that was ok (ish), straight onto some ground off Ryhope, had a lot of fish here on Monday but mostly under 2lb with only 3 being keepers, exactly the same again, lots of fish but all around 1.5lb.
Sea was getting a bit uncomfortable so headed closer in off Hendon, still lots of fish again mostly a bit small upto 2lb but with a few in the 4 to 6lb stamp, kept 6, drift became silly at 2knots around midday and after losing loads of gear trying to keep in touch with the bottom called it a day, great decision as got in before heavens opened and spent 10 mins between the piers with a pod of porpoises, great sight with several jumping clear out of the water, a real treat for people on the pier as they got a good show as well, tried to get some pics but they don't do it justice as usual!
