Good luck on your first run out Graham. I’m keeping an eye on the weather forecast and if it looks OK will be out on Saturday from mid morning adding to flotilla at the can.
When I was there a couple of weeks ago, lug worm easily outfished rag, probably because it puts out a better scent trail in the dirty water. I’ll anchor in anywhere between 35 and 60ft of water, usually well inshore of the can on the edge of one of the drop-offs or ledges. Casting a bait and small breakaway lead away from the boat works well, keeping the bait on the bottom without it being pulled into a snag as the boat swings on the tide and wind.
I’ll be on “Wor Lass” listening on ch6, 8 and 16, come and say hello if you’re passing.
Look out for the fireworks at South Shields if you’re still out at 20:00.
