Thanks to everyone who turned out, it was good to put some faces to names and exchange some ideas. If the next meet goes as well as this one we'll all be top of the table.

Cheers for the turn-out fella's, as it been said a number of times is great to put the names to the faces. Quite a successful session for most, Flounders on the board for a few people now! If you blanked (like me!!!) there's no shame in it whatsoever, remember we are all learning! Stick with it and you'll get your rewards! Some good tips and advice exchanged today too.

The whole point of today was to introduce people to fishing with Soft Plastics, and to prove that fish can actually be caught on artificial's in the Winter in the North East! Regardless of technique they actually work. Over the next few months we can explore different venues and different techniques, so I hope everyone that came today will stick with it and join us the next time.

This is probably the toughest time of year to fish with Lures, so those of you that caught well done, the Spring and Summer are only going to bring more fun and more species!

Nice to hear that the session today went well, I'd love to come to the next meet up myself. Is there a way of getting an invite to the next meet up?

When in moonfleet on Saturday I bought some of the white isomes (think i spoke to you wreckingball?) and today whilst fishing the amble open on warkworth beach I baited one of the 3 hooks on my flapper with half a isome worm. I used rag and lug on the other hooks tipped with mackie and would you believe it but I caught 2 decent flounder - both on the isomes, I got nothing on the fresh bait!!!

Obviously I didn't win the open but I didn't blank unlike some along side me!

Keep the reports coming lads, great reading!

There are no invites required mate, keep an eye on the posts for the second meet. Its still not finalized yet but should have a date fixed soon. Every one is welcome.

I had a very pleasant afternoon fishing with very good company, will definitely make the next meet. Caught two flounder on my two hook rig at the same time at the start and then repeated it 15 minutes before the end, so 4 caught in total, all on white isomes.

Will put pics up when I've worked out how to do it, thanks to Simon for giving me a Lure Fishing Challenge card. Where would be the best place to post them, in this thread or the catch report?

Yeah it was a great afternoon. Nice to meet some more NESA lads and thanks to Phill and Simon for organising it. I started out with pink and red isomes then later switched to white ones all on size 1 hooks with the spinning rod. I blanked lol though I did get one bite that didn't connect. It hasn't put me off though as having seen flounders and whiting pulled in by the other lads on isomes I will definately give them another try. Great stuff.
