Me n mad rob headed to the pier at just after 10 looking for a plaice and wrasse we set up at the 43 mark just down from Andyco and sean

We took 3 rods each
A big rod out for plaice / gurnards
A small rod for the species down the side
And a spinning / float rod set up with a zenith for a bit makki bashing
We were into small coalies from the start then Andyco come down poaching our area lol and he pulls out a lovely deep red ballan wrasse then took it back up to the 44 mark and photo then release up there ( sly git )
Then he shouts down .... A nice plaice by now I'm getting sick of coalies
Then I get a lovely bite and out comes a corkwing wrasse for me ( Andy copelands thinks)

Sean pulled in a double shot of a flounder n dab Andy gets a new species blenny to I got a canny flounder on the big rod and re-baited with a bling rig with rag n makki and as soon as it hit the water rod went berserk , only caught a big makki on bait surprising as not many getting caught
I got a lovely Kelpy cod down the side

We met Anthony morrow and my old mate Alan Heeley on the cod hunt which he gave us some great advice for next time I think he had 5 cod in a couple of hours keeping 3
We left the pier at 9.30 a 11hr session burnt and tired but with about 10 species between us and a lovely pic of tynemouth to leave you all with

Till next week adios
Ps if the lad with the green t-shirt fishing the second set of steps into the bay for makki with the 2 young lads about 6 and 9 get a look at yourself I would never put my sons life at risk absolutely disgracefully u fishing on top and the boys down the steps on wet seaweed spinning around throwing a lobster net in only a couple of feet from the side if he went in the current there would of gone in seconds the 4 of us couldn't believe it we were on edge from 60 yards away
 
You done alot better than I did sat night Mick mate. Looks like you've got the knack of getting the wrasse out now as well.
 
Good stuff mick. Good job we all had the smaller rods to keep us busy!

I didn’t have had a clue which wrasse it was, it was such a random colour it was hard to tell, but it looked good.
