Hartley 03/09/16

[Phil83]

Had a few hours this morning at Hartley as the tides were decent and knew we'd get a good few hours on there. Started about 9:30 and fished roughly 2 down 2 up.

With last weeks success at Newton I was expecting a slower session this time but I wanted to get out and try my new saltist haha

There was plenty bites just as the tide turned which I find is often the case with this place.



First up was this greedy little fella who managed to swallow a full crab and 3/0, lovely colours mind.





Then about 20 minutes later I plucked a kelpy out the cabbage, just a small one and he went back nee bother.



Lost a few on the way in after that and packed up about 1:30 just as we were being pushed off the skeer.

A photo of the new toy for good measure, what a cracking reel although servicing the spool bearings looks a bit of a pain with that retaining pin.



Thanks for reading.

[Phil83]

No problem Marc! I've been lucky enough to get out quite a bit recently. Will catch up another time

Good report with cracking photos, very clear. What are you using to take the pictures.

[Phil83]

Cheers Bill. It's just my phone, Samsung Galaxy s7.

Well done on the fish m8 cracking reels m8 I love mine great for the rock marks up Northumberland

Aye Reg it was cast out. 30 lb line, only lobbing it 30 yards. There's a line of kelp close in if you cast just beyond it you tend to pick up the fish

It was a big tide Reg. Smaller leads I'd worry about rolling about and getting snagged mate. I was using 6 oz plain and grips depending on the stage of the tide.
