After fishing the last 4 saturday nights and blanking on every session I thought I would try a friday night instead.bait out the freezer a quick defrost in some boiling water (not ideal but it was a last minute job) decided to head up to Hadston as a couple of lads I knew were fishing the blyth club match.first hoy loaded with a full squid resulted in a nice knock which I missed.not long after resulted in my first codlin in 4 weeks...owa the moon not big mind but but it was a fish
.it went quiet for 20 mins so moved further down the beach.straight away another codling aboot 1.5lb.loaded up with runnydown and mussel and chucked back in my mate shouts over so I had a wonder back up the beach he had a codlin on.on the walk back over to my rod I noticed it banging away got to it and a slack liner...champion its a decent fish preying away that it wouldnt come off as I knew it would be my PB result was a 5lb 3oz cod.not massive but it was to me.after that I got one that was 3lb 8oz.
A cracking nights fishing as there was plenty fish that got away.
And to top it off my 9 year old daughter said my 5lber qualifies it as a river monster...lol
Baits used was squid, runnydown and mussel.
I have some pictures but cant remember my password for photo bucket so when I make a new account I will upload some.
