Hello all, just thought id show my face since ive been trawling this site for info for awhile and not introduced myself. Im 22, currently live in north Northumberland, lucky me lol. Anyway ive just recently got back into sea fishing, i live right next to the coast so decided that i may aswell make use of my local beach. I used to be fishing mad when i was a teenager then lost interest for some reason, found new hobbies ect and sold all my gear. It was top notch kit, much better than what im using at the moment, i really regret it now, but know not to make that mistake again. So yeah im back into it now and ive been out 3 times with only 2 fish caught, i know fishing is in my blood because as much as i am abit dissappointed with my recent outings, it just makes me want to try harder to get a big'un.
My first and second trip was at Longhoughton beach
Fished of the rocks in gale force winds as the tide was coming in, it was hard work. But with no fish caught i still enjoyed my first session in 3 years...With some bait left over from the day before i decided to fish the same spot but from the beach this time, tide was coming in, wind had died down abit. Caught 1 decent size Plaice, was not what i was looking for but still very welcome.
Third trip was down the Royal Quays (High Shore) today
Decided to fish there because that is where i spent most of my fishing days as i was younger. Brought back some memories. Anyway had loads of bites but no fish, fished there for 2 hours before and 2 hours after high tide and still nothing. So i decided i was not coming all the way here to blank, i dropped some bait down the side where knew there would be something swimming around. Hooked a canny grannyfish or whatever it was lol. Better than nowt. Overall opinion of this place, brought back good memories, but rubbish place to fish. Got snagged a few times, bringing up all kinds of ****, from scrap metal to other anglers rigs, free weights atleast.
So now ive decided to save up some cash and invest in a decent beachcaster like what i used to have instead of this crap 10ft rod im using now. Im going to take advantage of the fact ive got a lovely beach on my doorstep and become very familiar with my local mark over the next few years or however long ill be here and chase those big ones, i know there is one out there waiting for me!
Hope i didnt bore you, and be nice, its my first post
