Myself , Codfather 145 , mad rob , young Lewis and Anth constable fished our comp £2 per man
Started off at the walkway , we had a visitor not 5 yards out a young seal so not expecting much . Codfather got off to a canny start 1st cast producing a small tommy of 25 cm
Then the wind picked up it was a nightmare , I got a tiny coalie for the species hunt and mad rob lost 3 sets of rigs then Lewis,s lid blew off his box and flew into the drink .met Andy copeland think he had the best idea and head off home
Off we headed to the ratty we headed but I decided to hit Roker pier on my own , I caught a scorpion fish

Baits used blacks , bluey , makki , muscle , clams and hermit crabs plus about 25 yellow tails donated off cosmic cat cheers mate the winning fish was caught on these
