Yes whilst the world was coming to terms with the sudden snow fall i went onto the pier for the 1st time with a known fisherman in my parts (bedlington). Full blizard on as we went on at 12. his 1st cast (at the very end) caught a small codling (tossed back) so i thought here we go i may get my 1st catch worth mentioning as the bites were coming on all the time......well to cut a story short a and from changing from the end to the last windmill and back again we got nowt apart from my crab and another similar sized codling.. we would have moved to different locations but due to the conditions we tried to stay out of the extremes....I enjoyed my 1st visit as its yet another mark i have blanked but this all adds to my experiences.. if i can manage to venture out there today i'm sure there are many more chances for me...cheers for listening if you know what i mean
