Well , with Steve off injured and Tony and I being thwarted by the weather on Saturday it was left to Keith and myself to make a showing for Slinky Kate in this weekends catch reports ......... whooo hooo and there you have it
Lazy start of 5.00am to suit the rather weak ebb tide low at 6.15am ish. Got to admit we went out today with a rather non-optomistic view as recent weather and reports had not gone in our favour, we thought very much that it would depend on how far we could venture out and this as always would depend on the weather.
The day was basically level catching .... ie there was no frenzy and no lull (other than the 5 mile trip down to the wear which resulted in ..... zero ) (We soon seen the error of our ways and returned to the 8 mile mark off the tyne to resume "catching" )
All fish today we caught over wrecks and the majority on shads other than a small patch of time where orange muppets and mackerel were order of the day....... keith had an amount of success on jaffa pirks but I think shads were the tops.
Best fish of the day went to keith and was around 8lb but all todays catch were of a good stamp, all good clean fish light in colour and free from bruises ... lost count of the ones we put back .... but kept about 14 ....
Many thanks to crew of the day for a fine job ..... Keith ... cheers
a few pics as ever (but without wallsendo tarrantino they are limited ... )
as ever ... the sunrise as I checked the viability at about 4.30am
Keiths 8lbd - best of the day
real wreck fishing ..... it seemed like a doubler on the way up (and was caught on a shad)
Just to point out we also catch ..... pollack
good to get out today , even though it was a sunday ......... goodness knows how I'm going to recover for work tomorrow ..... (forgot to mention it was a bit bumpy today so am suffering the physical signs of a good fishing trip )
cheers
