Launched at Cullercoats at 7am and straight out to a wreck about 2mile mark, where there was a boat landing a fish as i arrived. Asked if he minded if I had a few drifts over the wreck, which was fine. Had 4-5 drifts, but nothing at all, so moved further off. Tried 3 more wrecks, got one fish on, but came off after a few pumps up.
Headed off to one more wreck before heading over to the can. Dropped down hard on the wreck and, thump, this felt like a nice fish, but when it broke surface, it was two nice cod. One about 6lb the other about 4-1/2lb

Came round for another drift, and again, right in the rough stuff, got fast, give it a couple of strikes, it came away to be immediatly snafled by what felt like a good fish, but again, it was two.

I decided to go to the can for some sitting down fishing, but only got 3 pout, one must of pushed 1-3/4lb but luckily went back.
Met Bazacodbasher fishing on his own, had a bit chin wag, he was having a good day too.
Anyhoo, went back out to the same wreck, pulled 2 more fish in, when this siene netter came right along side and dropped 400yds of net right over the wreck.I watched it on the sounder slowly sinking to the bottom.
I felt like saying, hope you loose it on the wreck, but if he did, that would make it a graveyard for loosing gear on.
It was now 12'0 clock so decided I'd had enough so headed home with a nice box of cod, 8 in total. smallest about 3lb to about 7lb
