Had a nice morning fishing, left hartlepool yacht club 6am, tried fishing the hard ground, nothing but whities, so steamed out to a wreck 9 mile, we had a little bit of success with an 8lb cod, 6lb coalie and 4 ling around 6lb to 7lb. The fish were obviously there, but we couldnt get to them for the mackerel. We still enjoyed it with flat calm sea blazing sunshine and a good laugh. Just a pity i had to be at work for 12.30, got back to yacht club 11.30. Cod was caught on black hockies, coalie on twin tails, ling on baited jigger. Caught the coalie and a ling together, thought i had hooked into a clonker lol.

My mistake Deano it probably is a pollack, i'v only ever caught pollack in Wales and the south and they'v all been brown in colour, and this one is silver at the botom and very dark on top, just assumed it was a coalie,. Gave me a good scrap anyway especialy being a double hook up.

Its possible it is a coalie mate not doubting that as have seen some big ones the bottom lip normally pertrudes the top one which is an easy sign and are golden in colour there has been a canny few Pollock caught that's why i thought it must be either way its a cracking fish and a good day out for you what more could you wantCod machine
