Fished there last night with Keithb.
The water was flat calm and with only a slight breeze it could've been a summers night
Anyway we fished from just before slack water and a couple of hours up.( about 9pm till about 11.30pm)
Using lug,mussel,frozen crab, rancid squid and rag thought we may be in for a fish or two.
Keith fished one rod and me being the greedy git fished two, one set up with a pennel pulley with a 2/0 top hook and a 5/0 bottom hook and the other was set up with the old style paternoster on a 3way swivel
We both had a couple of knocks to start with and then it went quiet.
Keith managed to get his rigs back on just about every chuck, while I on the other hand might as well have just chucked mine in the sea not attached to me main line Think I only got 2 rigs back!!!!
Anyway as we were thinking about packing up as it was our last chuck and the tide was chasing us off the rocks, I had the biggest bite of me life
The Rod tip blasted down about three times and the butt lifted off the ground about 3ft, I raced to grab me rod only to find it had gone dead
I left it in a bit longer too see if it would come back, but it didn't and after realing in found out why.
The hooks had been stripped bare, they were almost as clean as a licked dinner plate
Anyway we headed back to the car were upon keith went home and I went onto the lower tyne estury
fished three different marks to no avail until again on me last cast the rod was rattled!!
After bringing it in, decided to have one last cast which came to nothing.
Left at about 3.15am after an unproductive night
Didn't matter tho' as I thoroughly enjoyed meself and the banter was good
Was nice to see you again Keith and recognised you alot easier than last time we met......................................you had your fishing gear on and you were a damn site more sober
Will be down again soon to see if I can get that biggun on this time
Cheers
Tony
