Well, guess what, out again at 7am on a Weekend morning in a pleasant sea and light breeze.
Is it the summer or is it a dream?
Well at 4 miles we decided to try the feathers and guess what, a string of 3 for Pete.
And we both thought that was a routine that would continue. WRONG, nothing more, not a sniff.
Well, those three fresh mackerel may have just provided the magic ingredient.
We tried 6 wrecks, heading East and North East from Sunderland. Water was more and more clear with distance, especially after 5 miles.
Only 2 wrecks produced, 1 a coddie around 5lb and then we hit the sort of feeding that you dream of with around 10 fish in 10 drifts.
First up was a cod of 9.5lb then various ling and smaller cod to 5lb.
And then wait for it the landlord, rod bent double and creaking, and various expletives, as it hit a red shad tipped with the fresh Mackie and it was fought up from 50metres.
an early season ling of around 24lb
weighed at home 23lb 9oz
a real monster from the deep that tried to eat my boat!
Message is clear. Get out there and get some! Thanks for viewing...
