Well the hard times keep going, i have never in my boating days worked so hard to find the fish...covered no less that 18 wrecks from 2 miles North of the Tyne to 1 mile south of Seaham.
Set off at 7.30am and it was like the A1 close in so called it after picking up 1 codling about 4lb.
Moved to a few fav's....not a bite between 4 of us...tried a few i had never plotted before and picked up 3 ling and 1 codling and loads of scotties.
Moved further south and i was gutted to see 2 of my fav wrecks box netted so headed further south and abit further out. Picked up about 5 mackerel on top of a wreck then 1 small 2lb codling.
Kept going over wrecks until we hit one full of coalie taken 2 at a time and of good size, then we moved closer in and tried a few more i had not fished but nothing doing.
Started on the trip back and hit a few on the way home.....AT LAST the last one of the day BANG BANG BANG, nothing of great size but 2 at a time for 3 out of the 4 of us on 1st drift then steady away after that but nothing over 6lb.
So 4 ling, 5 mackerel, loads of whiting and scotties and lost count of codling but i was well out done today taken the least i think.
Out again Monday but god only knows what or where to try next....spoke to a few others and same story....11 anglers 24 fish on 1 boat and 3 anglers 1 fish ont he other..
Hard times but still fun times.
