Missy 25th May 09 Hartlepool

[Codfather]

Sneeked a quick look out off hartlepool early this morning, took a couple of mates out for a look with us this time.

Another early start, up at 3.00 rounded everyone up and leaving the lock gates about 5.00am. It was just a quick look out today, had to make it in before low water, so just made it back in at 8.45am with 4 ft of water under us in the channel.

Conditions were perfect with a lovely sea, as flat as a flat thing, glorious sunshine and a nice steady drift. It was a shame to have to come back in.

Fish wise we only had a few codling up to 4-5 lb, but the weather and banter made up for it, was just nice to be out on a morning like this morning anyway.

We had our first mackeral of the season as well caught by my mate Mr Moyle, so they should'nt be far away.

A few pic's off the phone, will have a try at a video later if I can manage it lol.

The first little macky of the season for us;


Me and one of the codling;




Anybody lost a white painted jigger that had some muppets attached , was still in good nick;


Waiting for the lock to open;

[oldessox]

Was well worth sneaking out then , the sea looks nice and flat , I've seen a few pics on here of days like that this year but havn't had one myself yet , had a few good productive days fishing , but it's been cold and choppy every time I've been out so far , I'm really looking forward to fishing all day on a sea like that .
