me kris and josh headed down tynemouth pier last night, my favourite place on the north east coast, the watchman hadn't even got back to his hut and we were on 
as we were the first ones on we went straight to the end. expectations weren't high, just a flatty or 2 would keep me happy with the odd mackeral on the spinning rod.
i got the bait rod set up, wishbone rig baited with lug and mackeral one one hook with rag and mackeral on the other, out it went.
i tried doing a bit spinning but 28g spinners dont work too good in the wind.
while trying the spinner i was getting bites on the bait rod and in came these 2
kris followed with a nice little plaice
not a bad start we all thought, out it went again and not long after these 2 came in.
we were more than happy with how the night was starting then i pulled in this, my first ever dogfish, some people class them as pests but i don't and it's a new species for me, weighed in at 2lb
no sooner had my bait settled, i had a bite then a slack liner which resulted in this 1lb 6oz
as darkness came the fish kept coming, sometimes the bait had barely touched bottom and they were on our bait.
it was a cracking night, we all had fish, nothing massive though i did lose a better one which came off half way in, in total we had 7 species which is good to see.
