Amble today ( 22/9)

Went out from Amble today for a boat comp on the Natalie Kristen.Fishing was a bit slow,but some good cod and pollack were caught.
Boat is excellent and the skipper really helpful,tried behind the island first picked a few fish up,mainly cod,wrasse and pollack,before moving towards Cresswell Skeers and eventually onto the Skeers themselves.Other people on the boat caught far more than me,but all in all it was a good day.Drift was a bit strong but the wind played more than its part.Lost 21 Leads!!!!
In total there was only a small percentage of fish kept,with the majority returned safely to hopefully grow for next year.
Biggest fish were a cod about 6lb and pollack about the same.The stamp of the pollack were exceptional,and were taking head hooked ragworm fished on a boom.
The comp is based on a catch,measure and release system so,fish that were just size,were all returned.
 
Well least you try'd, it gets you out the house.
i fish the skeers often and it is very unforgiven when it come to fast holds and losing gear, my mate graham is great at it lol.
 
Sounds like you've had a good day out. Kevin is a very good skipper, one of the best up here - if there's fish he'll find them.
