Mackreal Galore

[greggthe1]

Headed to Newbiggin to try my spinning rod out some more and fished on the rocks down from golf course. Stayed an hour but decieded to move on as sea was a bit big for spinning so headed to Blyth pier as a back up. Pleased i did as i had 2hrs of great fun with the Mackeral. Only kept 6 for bait and eating and put the rest back. It was great to sea some of the kids with their dads catching fish and for one that was next to me it was his first time fishing. He well out fished his dad!!
It was also pleasing to see a large number of people using spinning rods and not just pulling in six at a time. (Loads still were tho) I have never seen as many people on the pier, it was almost shoulder to shoulder from one end to the other with fish caught all the way along.
One bloke who was bait fishing had two nice cod.

Lol Gregg, had a couple of hours on Blyth pier tonight also mate. Fished with KeithB and The Great Wallsendo, nice to meet you Tony .

If you think that was busy please don't go on during the winter months when there is a very big sea running. NO gaps at all and people sitting on each others knees comes to mind mate.

Jim.

Was good to meet you too mate - you and Keith.

My new telescopic lost it's virginity with 3 fish...kept two and chucked one back.

Keith caught 3 lost 3, Jim caught about the same - although I'm sure they'll say it went mental just after I walked off the pier with people catching on every cast.....

Fish now filleted and in the freezer to be either eaten or used for bait...

It was also good to see that there quite a few spinners being used at Blyth too

pier carpark has been chocker every day when I've been along to walk the dog, just looking over to the pier was enough to put me off bar the short session I had with the bairn on Monday evening..

We would be about 60-70 yards before the bend Gregg. People were pulling fish in when we got there so we just stopped lol.
