Bert, Skull and myself set off about 6.30am, XCWeather was spot on as usual, so no wind to speak of, a nice flat sea and even some sunshine.
We headed straight to a wreck off St Marys only to find a big fat seal lurking around it
we had a few drops and despite the seal landed a few cod on baited flowing traces.
Next stop was a couple of wrecks straight out from the Tyne piers, same story there, a couple of cod, a small ling and another seal so we moved on to last years hot spot.
Very interesting to see big clouds of what must of been bait fish on the sounder, but sadly no prolific fishing / feeding frenzy as yet, well for myself & Bert anyway, Skull however was pulling in a fish a drift on his secret shads.
Called it a day around 11.30 with 12 cod on deck (so excited to get going we forgot to take a fish box
)
Final score Skull 10
, Bert 1, Keith 1.
Thanks as ever Bert, a canny start to the season and a fantastic morning to be out.
