Got the nod from the skipper earlier in the week and it was agreed to meet up at a pre-dawn 0600...it's actually funny but I now regard anything after 0400 a lie in 
Anywho after a fuel up were away beyond thej piers in the wide ocean blue
Norman nearly broke my record for fastest fish on the first drop as he was straight into a nice Codling (apologies in advance for the quality :red
Great
Today was all about the chilling and de fishing...t'was a gorgeous start to the day too
A few small kilted haggis chewers and another Codling were boated in the next hour or so - although on closer inspection of the codling it was LIFTING with lice
...so back the little fella went (I hasten to add it was caught toward the south side of the Tyne so perhaps it was heading home after a good night 
)
Decision was made to head out of our comfort zone and head north to Newbiggin so off we went
We had everything a Cod could possibly want - even fresh crab
But they weren't playing - Norman managed another Codling for the pot and I pulled in a small un that was returned to grow fatter in time for spring
On the way back Norman tried a couple of "new" numbers on the chart and would you beleive it the first one we tried looking for wasn't even there so we went on to another - found this one although it was about the size of a mini going off the profile on the plotter
And then we headed back into familiar territory - we struggled with the macky and as such only managed 2 all day...
Funny old game fishing - we sought them here, there and everywhere today with 45 miles being clocked up - but for Slinky Kate and her crew the fish just weren't playing nicely
BUT it was a gorgeous day and our attitude was pretty relaxed all day which as ever makes it al the more fun - cheers as always Norman
Until the next time
