Went out looking for mackerel this morning about 2mls past the tyne peirs, but like hens teeth, so decided on a couple of wrecks. Got 6 codling up to 4/1/2lb and some pan size whiting I kept for my mate who loves them, then somebody switched a giant fan on from the west. What a bumpy ride back in with white horses flying at you. All the fish were on the light spinning rod which made it great fun.
