Well gutted I had to miss the trip up to Newton with the other lads as had some business to attend at midday so thought a quick trip of Blyth would be canny as thought a few mackerel might be iBn and fancied some for the table and also bait.
Arrived at Blyth about 8am and was a bit of a chop on with a light SE so thought might not be much doing and lads coming off the pier had had nothing at all.
Got out and setup just off the river mouth / pier and was into the mackerel within 10 minutes, After this it was action all the way with sometimes 3 at a time. Also had a small codling which went back and also quite a few sandeels.
Was amazing to see just by being out of casting distance from the pier that I was into the mackerel as did not see any pulled in off there.
Kept 15 in the end, few went back but was a great little session out and a fairly nice morning weather wise.
A few pics from the morning.
