Haddock Hunt

[kingcod deano]

Ive been lucky and had 7 in the past 3 year all on plain raggy baits as said muddy bottoms best

 

[Funkmeister_Smith]

I've had 1 in 2010 and my mate had 1 last year, both just off Whitley Bay, not far out at all really.

Would love to get out this weekend but the tides are too early / late for getting out in daylight. Might try Sunday about 7am if the sea is nice enough, would only get about 2 hours out but better than nothing!

Good luck to all who make it out, looking forward to seeing some reports.

I'm guessing it's still a case of drifting over this muddy ground? I was talking to a lad who crews on a prawn trawler out of Blyth , he was telling me they trawl the mud around xxxxx for prawns and catch cod and flatties at the same time, not many mind, but he never mentioned haddock, or I'd have been a bit more interested in where they were fishing

It's best not to strike a haddock nibble as they have small soft mouths,but then again how do you its a haddock nibbling ha ha

I'm not going if I can't do the "Breakaways Strike"

 

[Mad as a fish]

Had a few just off Coulorcoats when I had my boat nice fish they were too.

 

[leeskinner007]

had one out of hartlepool last year 3 lb was chuffed to bits canny little fight on them

 

[Falcone]

ive had a couple of haddocks this year, all smaller than 2lb, they were taken on hard flat bottom. if you want haddocks then your best bet is softer ground around wrecks. When we used to trawl 10 years ago we had best success on the outskirts of wrecks, same as monk fish.

Are you going to give it a go for them this weekend Arthur, for old-times sake?

I’ve had plenty of scotch haddock but the last real one I had was off a boat in Arran many years ago. They fell to clam baits.

Hi Kev1n, Don't think so. I'll be fishing the Amble open on Sunday, and was fishing the Tynemouth retired members comp today on the pier, so that's my brownie points all used up till the next batch issued.
