  • Rock Hopping 27/09/07

    Met up with KeithB and Fishfinder (Paul) for an evenings angling. Started off at the bottom of the stairs at Tynemouth for the first 40 mins or so until the tide dropped off enough for us to get across to the rocks at Cullercoats - which was our ultimate gameplan

    Keith and I had no sooner rolled up when Paul was reeling in a small codling so we set our own lines in the water pretty quickly

    It wasn't long before i got a good bite - only to reel in a "good sized" RockLing...at least i hadn't blanked

    We soon moved on, set up on the rocks and were casting into Cullercoats Bay

    Nowt doing for a while, we moved a couple of times and then Keith reeled in a small codling as well.

    A quiet night - in terms of fish - but a good night. Good crack and nice to put another face to a name...good meeting you Paul

    It was also a learning curve for me as I'd never "properly" fished the rocks before...so I've learnt I need to increase the breaking strain of the mainline and knock up some decent traces as well as get a better rod and reel....but that'll only come when i get some spare dosh

    Cheers - Tony

            I could see all the lights last night as I went back on to Slaty. One cast and and decided to try Stony Skeer but just could not hold the bottom. Moved over to the Boiler Skeer and managed to catch a small codling of around 2 lb. It was deep hooked, tried for ages to get it back ,but to no avail. Gave it to a lad fishing the beach who had a single codling of the same size. Didn't stop for long, only had four casts then went back home. Arms and legs tired from digging ragworm in the morning.
