Monday 21st May

[Kev1n]

Monday’s forecast was pretty good, the little ‘un was home from his travels and reports from the marina were encouraging enough to venture out for an evening.
We headed out of the river and Mark took us up to the rough ground off Cullercoats for the first drop. It’s a conveniently close starting point where we’ve had some productive Spring sessions in the past but not this time.

Onwards to the Can with the tide picking up we were straight into fish. When the fishing slowed, adding a fresh bait to the hook brought fish back again; nothing big all in the 1 to 3 pound range with a couple kept for the pan. Peeler and prawns did the job. It was noticeable that as we drifted south from inshore of the can the fishing died off.

His first fish in a year.

Looks like it was a nice evening session, nice quality fish too. Well done.

Yes, it turned into a lovely evening as the wind dropped leaving an oily swell shortly before sunset.

Norman, we still manage a few fish although there's more rope and canvas to get in the way which probably smells of old peeler crabs and fish now. That will get me into trouble with the boss if the rain hasn't shifted it. Another challenge is I miss having a big plotter with all the wrecks outlined, that's less of a problem on the hard ground.

No, like Donovan, you only "catch the wind".
