Caravaning/fishing Sat 3rd April

[canman]

Was supposed to go to Causey park Morpeth to a caravan ralley, but it was switched because of waterlogged field, to Gosforth park (hard standing). By Saturday, board outa me brain, decided to nip home and take Lazy Daze out for a couple hours. So 11am launched at Cullercoats to find a lightish southerly breeze and the tide a couple of hours to low water. Made my way to the yellow can and dropped anchor. The tide swung the boat round quickly, and with the southerly swell, pulled the light miled steel flukes on the grapple anchor straight more than a couple of times. After about an hour, a kyak came along side asking if i'd caught owt, as I was telling him no, my rod banged over which resulted in a nice little codling of around 2 3/4lb. (Always was good at moaning them on). That was it other than 3 undersize codling. The wind was starting to pick up by 2pm, and I thought, thats enough, back in, hose the boat down, fillet the fish, and back to the caravan till Monday.. Arthur

Hope your right Norman, i've still got a few worms left and with the smaller tides, might just pick one or two up. A brace of 5 pounders topped with a 32pounder.........just a thought, hmm. Arthur

[canman]

I'm sure I just saw your rod tip knock.

Nice one Arthur, no blanks for you this year mate....Jesters out the water this week getting a right good pampering. Should be back in for the weekend though. Did Lazy Daze run ok after the repairs ?

[canman]

Yes, running sweet, couldn't open her up though as sea was a bit too lumpy. Gave you a shout on Saturday on 6, could just hear someone at the back of the box with the squelch on, but i forgot you were out of the water for spruce up.

[The Jester]

Wish i had been out mate, me and the lad who was on blyth pier went up to the Derwent Res for trout. Thought the lisence ran for a full year, but apparently ends 31st march So might be getting a fine or wrists slapped........Will listen out for you Saturday Arthur......cheers...Chris.

[canman]

Hell, that would be a bummer, but more to the point, did you catch owt! Arthur

[The Jester]

One trout, and a very expensive one at that..

Good job you dug the lug Ivan. Many more to come. Arthur

Aye your not wrong its funny I had a canny winter season and most times the fish just wanted straight lugworm so thanks for saying what bait you used Arthur it certainly helped me out the water was very dirty and I normally just use ragworm it just shows how sharing info pays off!
cheers
