Great report Adrian, you both certainly found plenty of good sized fish. Oli must be on the Red bull to manage a full day out after a full night bass hunting:giggle: I would be wiped out. I took my friend Ian out for a coupe of hours really just to test his sea legs and he loved it. Into jumbo...

Big thank you Adrian, was a pleasure fishing with you on Bellini. Was a great day to be afloat, more fish in that session than I have seen for many years and sets the bar for this summer. The sea was certainly building comparing first photo to last, if I wasn't there I would swear they were...

Based on Amble RNLI Friday onwards looks ok :cool: :cool: :cool: :cool: :cool: :cool:

Thank you Kevin much appreciated, this is the sort of info I really need.

Since buying my boat late last year there has been a seemingly endless list of jobs and additions she needs to ensure comfort and safety before this season starts. I managed to buy a 4 man life raft ( serviced until 2027 ) recently and now only need an outboard just in case my main engine fails...

Glad you managed to get out and found a few fish. Wind and swell put me off Friday and Saturday. Fingers crossed for Easter weekend

Looking forward to your report

Hope its a great trip, What's early forecast like ???????

:cool:

Had a few hours south end of Amble beach Saturday afternoon / evening fishing low tide and a bit of the flood. Really quiet with only a few tiny knocks. Decent lugworm from McDermott's not saving the blank. Hopefully soon be time for a bit beach Bass fishing and maybe getting out on the boat.

Nice one, only decent fish I have caught this winter was to fresh lug with a strip of bluey. Really struggled with frozen squids, mussel etc. Also credit to you for digging them yourself, I tried a couple of weeks ago and they were sooooo deeeeep. Back breaking :eek:

Fished Hauxley last night 1 hour down 1 up. Conditions weren't great, freezing wind in your face and quite a big sea on. Got some good fresh lugworm from McDermots Ashington combined with a bit Bluey and managed my first keeper of the winter. Once the tide turned the waves were sweeping up the...

Thanks everyone, some great options. Much better than a quick glance at BBC Weather app ;)

Thank you Windfinder looks really good Much appreciated

Can anyone recommend any free weather apps that provide decent sea conditions? Once upon a time I was only bothered about tide but now I have got into boating, conditions and accurate forecasting have become far more critical. Occasionally use Magic Seaweed / Surfline but that is aimed more at...
