  • Monday night

    Hadston totally unfishable 2hrs going down to low water.
    Opted for Seahouses to get a bit depth, how wrong.
    The waves were washing out the end at low water, wind was unbelievable direct from east must have been approaching a constant storm force, never let up for 1 second.
    I've never seen a 4m swell within the harbour before in over 40yrs.
    Remained there for 3 hrs, became worse with the horizontal rain hitting you like ball bearings.

    Departed there and headed for private beach where it was a lot better conditions but the current was so strong could not hold the bottom, lots of weed in water there. Horizontal rain became a pain and called it a night at 2400.

    One thing I saw whilst traveling up coastal route to Seahouses, the small car parking area at cullernose point was totally swamped in around 1ft of sea foam right over the roadway.
    That was 1hr before low water, the water there was totally incredible the roadway was eye level with top of waves.
    God only knows what it would have been like at high water.

    Word of warning if heading up the small coastal route roads, there are lots of parts of the entire route totally under pockets of water, some around 18inches deep, some 3 inches but prolonged in length, car is needed with speed on these roads even in 4x4, even my ML was lifting hitting some of the water.

    Another outing at the weekend

    Take care
    Dedicated to hunting the morua gadus on lonely dark rock marks during the dead of night

    Mate, cracking report even though no fish caught. Sometimes just knowing the conditions and the problems is better than hearing about some swimming things being bopped over the head.

    Braver man than me being out in that.....

        Aye. It's a bluddy good report. Keep them coming codstopper. Blanks are all part of the game. Nobody can accuse you of not trying. Horrendous weather lately. Fishing down this end has been confined to the lower river marks. Walkway, Rathouse etc. Even the the beaches between the piers have been unfishable. I went down for a look in me TARDIS high water late Mon night and the only local beach that looked fishable was Whitburn behind the Bents cottages. Didn't seem to be much weed about but I didn't bother fishing. The wind was a nightmare. Didn't even try the Rathouse (Too much wind / no good on the ebb). Hopefully you'll be rewarded for your efforts next time out.
