Mackie Bashing!!

[garyp]

I'm not a charva before anyone says

Spent a few hours on SouthSheilds pier from about 0530,one rod with lug/razor, and daylite's on the other!!

Its the first time Ive ventured past the first gate for about 20 years

And also the first time I've caught mackerel from the pier/shore (only on a boat before) took 14 in total, some to eat, some to freeze for bait.

Nice one on the catches mate, took my son along from 8am-11:30 and only caught 3 Launce and a tiny bait fish. Only 3 mackies taken while I was there and they were far between, seen a bloke coming off when I was heading on and he had a bag full of them and hopes were high but blanked myself with the lad catching all of the said.

When I got there, must have been two or three right on the end, spoke to a couple lads passing and one of them had a Bass, and plenty of Mackerel, and a few Herring even showing up!.

As I was setting up seen a huge fish jumping, just out from the blocks, guessing it was a salmon? Casted in it's general direction just to see

Was a nice morning, calm, quiet etc. Quite a few started to turn up later so guessing the pier would be quiet busy today?

Yeah Gary there was around 19 rods on the end of pier and more arriving when I came off at 11:30, so yeah can imagine it would of been well packed.
