Hi lads, I seem to have lost my mojo lately when it comes to finding those cod. I'm sure it'll be on it's way back soon. lol
Anyway headed up to Beadnell and Nacker hole in Northumberland on Friday night, things were very slow but I did have four good bites that properly slack lined and I'd have put money on catching those fish. Not to be though and I ended this session with a solitary coalfish for my efforts, was a big one though, 2lb'ish.
Nacker hole, a right knacker this time round!
Still had a bit of bait left on Saturday so decided to get stuck into the BSA species race.
Headed for South Shields big beach, easy for me and a great place to catch a few different types of fish.
Just getting dark when I arrived and the dog walkers were leaving the beach for the fishermen. Had 3 hours here down to low water and it turned into a tidy little sesh, double shots of flounder, whiting and a few coalies. Lots of action but nothing bigger than a pound and a half.
A smile on my face and still a small amount of bait left I decided to have a few hours down the Tyne the following morning.
The mesh Hebburn, Sunday morning. (old photo)
Things started off slowly here but as the tide picked up, the whiting and flatties began to bite, again lots of fish with the added bonus of a coalfish.
So although the cod were a let down this week, I did manage 8 flatties, 16 whiting and 5 coalies, all caught using 4 bags of rag and a packet of bluey!
Up and running in the species race but bring on the cod next time please. Tightlines, Dave.
