First time out to wet aline today, not the best day weather wise but worth 5hrs at it.

Well not a great deal to report, tried all the normal spots on the hard ground and 3 wrecks...ended up with 5 codling biggest just over 3lb, 2 pouting and 1wrasse about 1lb.

Lost two rigs so its the start of things to come

Lots of boats out but all seemed to be reporting the same.

Nice to see a few out there thou, also had a bit of company on a 4mile wreck...one big fat seal was eyeing us up for 4 drifts.

Seen it on the can wreck Rich early on ....... do you think we can blame it for the days difficulties

[fishingfanatastico]

Well done,still seems like a canny day out.

[northeast1]

Thats why i put it in Norman, blame the seal

Hard going but still nice to wet a line, seen a shoal of small herring (3-4") on the surface so not long until the switch is flicked and the boyos show u for the fresh bait

[SIXFOOTSTEVE]

[The Great Wallsendo]

Funny there was a seal knocking about newbiggin today too blaming the seal sounds good to me lol

Good one for catching mate

[fishing bairn]

Well done seems like you had a good sesh

[northeast1]

Good Friday looks like the next trip out if the weather holds, hoping that 1 week extra of settled weather brings the cod back on the feed.

Not heard any reports of mackerel in the nets yet (well apart from the odd 1) as soon as them babies land then its good times i hope.

[eddie t]

sounds like a few boats struggled to get fish out yesterday but well done for the ones ya got.

[northeast1]

Yer seems like the choppy sea we had last week coloured the water abit and put the fish off the feed.

Have a nice long 5 day weekend next so may have a better report. Still great to get out to sea and wet aline this year.

Good to see you made it out as well Shanka, seen you heading towards the can as i was leaving it.

Thats a cracking day for them, not heard anything that good from around here yet...water was still coloured but much clearer than last weekend.

Hoping to ahve 2-3 trips over easter week...tried to get more leave off but they had none of it lol
