Doctors house last night.

Fished Doctors house last night in the first Alnwick match of 2012.

Managed to get 2 codlings for just over 3lb & returned 1 rockling and one just undersize coalie.

Both fish caught on pulley pennel rig baited with lug & crab cocktail with a squid wrap.

Nice 1 matey. Been thinking of giving that a blast sometime. Got a caravan 5 mins away and never been. R u casting into kelp there? Rotten Bottom job?

[dazzer]

It's very rough ground with kelp in places.

I've found 9 times out of 10, if you get a fish using a pulley pennel rig, you get your gear & the fish back.
If you don't hook into a fish, you can lose gear.

Luckily I only lost 4 sets last night but have lost much more than that.

I should really use a rotton bottom but never do.

Good info mate. I've found the same on snaggy places. If uve got a fish your sound. If not your in trouble.

Not that I know of Tony mate, I don't think any of our lads fished there last night.
A couple of the lads went to Alnmouth and I think they blanked.
A few were around the Howdiemont.
Willy Morton had 5 codling from the Haven (heaviest bag).
Steve Scott had the heaviest fish from Craster, I think it was around 4lb

All together there were 11 codling, 1 pollock (3lb 2.5oz from Dunstanburgh) & 1 flounder weighed in.
