Miles Off?

[The Great Wallsendo]

Is there any virtue in steaming for the horizon and fishing mega deep wrecks?

Is there such a thing as a virgin wreck round these parts?

Pretty sure there's quite a few wrecks that are 'virgin' out there, we've got some within a couple of miles to check out at some point

I'd guess the further off you go, the more unfished they become, but unless you can get there regularly, it could be a complete waste of time. every wreck has its day, and pootling 40miles off to find its a case of 'not today thank you' might be a tad disappointing (and expensive)

there are some wrecks that are way off that are known for being big fishy haunts, but if you don't hit em right its a waste of time

time probably better spent blasting around the inshore wrecks to find the one that wants to play

do a search for 'the graveyard'

what about offhsore sandbars that could hold large Turbot'y type flatties - any of those off these shores?

I'm sure Ritchie went out 18 miles last weekend and found it VERY average.

I sure Tim mentioned a while back he fancied trying for turbot etc off Blyth at night time, behind Cambois pier I think,

i was in reelsport today and a lad said he was going out with turbo jimmy rutherford
40 miles off
but turbo is a bit of an exagerator
probably the yellow can
hahahha

offshore

offshore

there are lads further down the coast that regulary venture out further than 50 miles and they are rewarded handsomely but they still occasionally blank

as for the graveyard its visited quite often from the fast offshore charter boats and some times they go all that way for nothing

a few years ago i caught quite a few turbot of sandy bay beach. Nothing of any size but they are there! so it might be worth a shot
