Well, first maccys trip of the year out the way and two first cast so not a bad start! Me and my bro took 12 in about 3hrs and not much else doing for the rest of the lads apart from the odd few here and there plus a nice Pollock taken about 07:30am to a lad spinning (2lb ish). Not loads of fish about but no bloody wind for a change!!!!

Alright, i was the lad who had the pollock. Was a poor day for me part from that, didnt even get a mackerel.. LOL but few coalies kept me interested, but it got a bit desperate to be honest!

Well done on the catches mate, I got down around 9.15 and 18 rods were out which was a shock, did everyone take the same day off work lol. As for catches there had been 3 mackerel taken, the rest were launce, I blanked myself but it was nice to be out and chat to the lads passing.

Nice Pollock Mr McGuire

Hopefully it will be the start of things to come for me..... been ages since I got the old kit out and dusted it of..... it's great what a few fish can do for the confidence! lol

Pete, were you down Shields pier or elsewhere?

[Pete from shields]

South Shields pier mate, too many on the end so fished just before the blocks with not even a sniff.

I was one the end of the pier bait fishing and having a go at spinning
And guess what I blanked on both rods I left at 4 and had only lost 3 rigs all day so not bad shame about the fish like still bout 1 on the end when a left pulling in coalies plaice and dabs 1 had had a mackerel on bait aswell
Couple of lads with full houses of decent coalies on daylights
Ah well that's my rant over untill the next time
I'm just gonna get back on the boats next weekend and catch some decent fish

Could swear I'm seeing double and read that twice.

[david.northeast]

Aye don't know how that happnened

[Mad as a fish]

I was on the end from about 5 am untill about an hour or so after high water I caught two coalies and a few sand eels, not a great day fish wise but met a few members from here, so even when the rain p***ed down on us spirits where high and i for one had a great day loads of laughs and banter.
Oh and there were a few codling caught one was 3.6 lb.
And i would like to thank all the lads for the tips they gave me.
Big thank you to Andy who i will remember as the rain man because of his phone app he knew when the rain was going to stop rainy days lol
