Mackeral

Must have just missed you Heather. It was after Twelve when I got there and only stayed for an hour. Will let you know when I am coming down next and we can meet properly.

Went down to Roker pier today for a few hours, there was quite a few Mackeral caught (and Coleys) but not by yours truly. Managed to get one on and lost it as it broke the surface. Never mind I\"ll be back.

Were you on the end Jim? Unfortunately even if the lads are shoaling IMHO the closer you are to the end of the pier the better your chances, Unfortunately, the closer you are to the end of the ....blah The more lead you have to dodge, pleadings for spare kit (You got a rod and reel mister I can use? bless em) and sometimes the glare of the massed Shellsuits can cause permanent eye damage.

apologies for the shell suit slander I know a lot of us still wear them Tony :o

Is it true that shell suits are still used as the sunderland away strip?? least it makes em easier to spot in a crowd.
 
I was fishing just before the wall Ian. Was in disguise again forgot me hat. It helps cushion some of the lead so didn\"t want to risk it lol.

Loads of mackeral there today, just out of casting range. luckily I was in the boat sat on top of em. they were\'nt happy on the peir watching us pull em!

My little revenge for Ell\'s mackeral fillets in the tyne stunt earlier this year!

You forgot about the radio\'s blahhing on and the little tw+ts on BMX bikes riding up and doon the pier all day.
caught owt caught owt caught owt caught owt caught owt,ffs man bring on the winter,still enjoy it though lol
 
Can live with the little tw Sorry darlings with the cort owt cort owt. What I didn\"t like was the slightly older tw sorry darlings flying up the pier at about forty miles an hour on the motor scooters. Not bothered about them taking a hook or spinner or fly in the neck, they could have snapped my line. God love them.

Lmfao that must be Roker pier,you would struggle on Blyth pier,though i have seen one along there before,scooters that is Jim.
 
on about hooks in the neck, got told a bloke came of sunderland pier a day or two ago with one in the neck burried right up to the eye, blood all over him.sunderland pier can be a very dangerous place this time of year.they must be trying to get into the guiness book of records with the most anglers in a twenty foot area.one day went there thought to myself too many people on the drum fished further down during the 2 hours i fished saw at least another twenty people go on none came off, they were casting over the heads of other people not for me.
 
I Alan I wouldn\"t like to see a bike go along Blyth pier at 40 mph. mate lmao.

Kem I saw a guy on Blyth pier with a treble hook just under his eye. Regards of a lovely young charva who didn\"t bother to look behind him.

As soon as the school holidays start I try to give the piers a wide berth.

Jim.
 
Aye Mark i\'ll build a little ramp at the step through the gate,i wonder if he would make it to the lighthouse at Cambois.

That must have been a big hook m8 if it went from his neck to his eye,those little charvers were probably trying to catch a boat with a grappling hook lol
Only joking mate ;)
 
lmao Alan. Well am off to try a wee bit of lead (and hook) dodging. Think I might have a go at Blyth today. Got to catch some Mackeral eventually lol.
