had another day out yesterday steamed off to souter point first off. dropped anchor and sat back. very slow 1 small codling 1 whiting. gave it a hour, was no tide pull at all even though supposedly big tides [5.4] upped anchor and steamed to cullercoats.
put the pick in again and sat back,1 cod 3lbs a couple of whitings , a few fish on and lost on the way up. a fair few bites but still no real tide pull and its now mid tide.
moved again. slack water again by now.
eventually you could see the tide starting to pull on the boat and near by pot dahns. immediately the bites started to increase. codlings 2-3lbs whitings, pouting, more codling,
then a couple of nice cod around 5lbs a few more 2-3lbs another couple around 5-6lbs,and a fair few lost on the way up, as at times they were biting very shy.
so the last couple of hours was decent fishing with around 30 cod or so half a dozen in the 5-6 lbs range.and a scattering of whitings and pouting. not to bad for 4 rods so a slow morning but canny afternoon, and its just nice to have a run out
