i've been reading everyones posts for a while now, stingray,growler,canman,slinky kate etc etc...all getting boats ready for the season, first trips out [a few blanks] and today it seems it's all beginning

we've had 2 trips out this season before today and nothing really to report, but today we decided on a "stupid o'clock" start and head out from Hartlepool down to a few marks near skinningrove which were producing good fish last year

arrived about 7.15 and hit the inshore marks first and we were into fish allmost immediatly [shads are wonderful] with phil averaging a good sized fish every 5 mins, and me and lee not far behind

we kept about a dozen and moved offshore to a spot we were very lucky with last year, but today didn't fish well at all so after an hour or so we came back in to try a few drifts over some rough ground further south, and again we were into fish !! best part of the day was to watch as phil very nearly landed a nice cod of around 9lb, shame it spat the shad out at the last second and swam away..... ..... couldn't resist a muted laugh...sorry phil, but it lives to fight another day

pleased sea conditions remained smooth for the ride back to Hartlepool

exelent day's fishing.................

season begins.........................

Your right there.
It’s good to see the increase in reports and increase in fish reported. Well done.

Welcombe to the forum Rob, good post. Sounds like some good shots down your way, like you say though, not too many reports from your area
