Cullercoats- late report

[Stores]

Nat I don't know if you've spotted this but on your marks photo of Cullercoats Harbour, if you go to the boat nearest the shore and pan in to the left of it is a perfect image of a sunken pot boat or the like. I've no idea of it's history. I wonder if anyone else does.

and I wonder if there's another one between the nearest boat and the small one to the right of it.

Great spot mate, I reckon there is two you know.

How on earth did you spot that? Lol. Good set of eyes!

Well spotted, I might have to park the kayak over it in the summer. I noticed this one a while back but I don't think it'll fish http://goo.gl/maps/AE2Ku

Well spotted! I think that might be a trick in the photo. I've never seen or heard of a sunken boat there and I've paddled over there a couple of times in my yak and not noticed anything on the sonar. That's not to say it isn't there of course!
I wouldn't cast any further west from my point because of the mooring chain for those bouys but if the sunken boats are there then it might be good structure to fire a cast or two just in front of;-)
