Craster with Douggie.18/07/2012.

Hello lads had day out at Craster yesterday on Douggies new boat. Here is a pic of me and my mate Martin - things looked spot on.

We headed out and had first drop half mile or so. It was maccy and a couple of Launce. Tried shad but cod few and far between. It picked up later and we really started to roll. Here another mate Kev in the blue getting afree shower of salt water----i used my head and stayed under the canopy or in the cab with Doug.

We had a visit by a fisheries protection launch which was a first for me. They operate from a larger ship or come out at the Tyne or Amble. Two 70 brake horse power outboards meant they were quick.

Also seen some modern art by the castle. They light them up at night with different colours-something to do with olympics i think.

All in all a poor day for cod. My mate Kev won sweep with biggest over 4lb and i came second with one just under. Still enjoyed the day and was nice to be out.
Tight lines Mick.

Hello Mick, I was out on a boat from amble yesterday and we had some canny cod and ling. Sea was flat calm at 7:30am but by midday the wind was brutal and the sea chopped up a fair bit. The fisheries Rib gave us a drive by as well just off the back of the island at about 3pm.

Dave we saw your boats looked like three together. We were in the yellow boat Dougs new bobby dazzler. It was funny thogh cos i missed Bon Ami.
Dougs new boat needs a couple of things sorting then it will be cracking.
Also saw Alan on his boat out of Seahouses. He had about half dozen on..

That's right another boat came close in where we were as they had been out wrecking in the morning and fished near us in the afternoon. We had a ling to 7lb and cod to 5lb half caught in the morning. Small stuff in the afternoon.

P.s sorry those above were the heaviest fish of the day we had 30 cod in total between 8 of us baited hokais worked best.

I'm out with Dougie Friday, hope things improve if thats how slow it was.

Will be taking plenty bait seeing as the fish are not there in any numbers rather than reliying on daylights/hokais etc;
