[SPEIRSY]

Well i was up bright n early this morning dropped my car odd for a service and walked to the marina at 6.30 and bumped into lee off kelsey leigh he told me he was going south to souter i landed at newbiggin bang on 8am and as the water was really clean i decided to drift with a shad n prawn
Bang 2lber straight away and thats how it went all day i must of easily threw 15 back
I kept 8 only thing the biggest were only 3lbers loads of size just mind you and as i dont agree with the minimum size for most of our fish i put them back to fight another day on the way back inbetween newbiggin and blyth i passed at least 50 or so gulls and gannets in a feeding frenzie wonder what they were after well im now on the zetland having a couple of liveners try again 2morra maybe tight lines

Well done heading North and taking a chance with the shads. It was a toss up for us whether to go North or South but we went South in the lee off Souter where we dropped the anchor and fished with fresh mussel, squid, blacks, bluey etc. Obviously the wrong call, the water was scruffy, the cliffs didn't afford us much shelter and we only had three fish. To top it off, the calor gas ran out before the bacon cooked or the kettle boiled and oh yes the marina rang me at home tonight because the cabin and galley lights had been left on.

That’s an interesting pair of reports, contrasting the north and south divide and how patchy the fish are just now.

Making a return trip to turn the lights off is bad enough Tony but running out of gas so no bacon butties and coffee – inexcusable.
