Hi all,
'Wor lass' was out on the Toon with her girl mates which gave me a pass to do a spot of night fishing. I fancied Blyth beach for a change and decided on fishing in front of the Astley pub.
I got to the beach about 9pm and fished till midnight - roughly an hour down and two hours up. I moved a few times until I started getting bites but was still within the Astley area. I ended up with 5 Whiting, 4 undersized and one sized but all skinny runts. I would have liked to have stayed longer but I'd lost 3 rigs I thought Blyth was meant to be a clean beach...) and the coffee was starting to wear off. Still, with my girlfriend having a heavy night I thought there'd be a chance of a quick session the next day with my left over bait.
Sure, enough my girlfriend was going to have a house day so I set off to fish St. Peters Basin. With the huge tide I wasn't expecting much but I didn't fancy driving to the coast - a quick session by the car was what I was after.
The tide pull was strong and there was a lot of rubbish in the water. There were also a lot of boats and jet skiers doing well over the speed limit (Part of me was hoping they'd hit some of the floating logs....
). With this in mind I fished pretty close to the bank. I ended up with a whiting, flounder and a just sized codling all caught on lug tipped with fresh crab.
It was good to see you Reg - nice to put a face to a name
Thanks for reading
