fished club match lastnight, keith went up north looking around the beaches yesterday at low water looking 4 any holes but weed everywhere until 1 place looked very fishy with a great swell smashing the beach & no weed
a lad that keith did a job 4 was interested in sea fishing as keith seen a sea angler when he was there, this lad (mick) that only ever fished off a boat b4 desided 2 join our club lastnight & come with us 2 learn some marks.
on the way up i said 2 keith i bet he bags up lol, any way we got 2 our mark & the 3 of us chucked out. keiths lead got pulled out so he pulled back in 2 rebait mick got a load of weed on so had 2 pull in 2, i was stood when i ot a ripping take almost pulled rod out my hand but did'nt come back so as i set myself again the line went slack 2 wound down & hit it fish on & a nice plump cod of 3lb dead.then keith in straight after me & landed a 1lb-1oz cod then u guest it mick in2 his 1st ever shore cod 5lb-6oz y na wot it is
anyway we thought we were in 4 a good sesh but not 2 b we moved 3 times 50 - 100 yrds each time 2 a new hole & lost a few fish in the surf & missed a few slack liners but a canny night. we did'nt know until half way through the sesh that mick was only using 20 main line straight through without a shocker, how he was managing 2 chuck a 6oz lead out had us stumped let alone land a nice fish in a crashing surf
so we need 2 teach him from scratch
we got back 2 our weigh in & 11 fished only us 3 weighed in & yes u guessed it mick signed up & got heavy'est fish & bag
well done 2 mick he was buzzing
mind u he did'nt look 2 sure when i told him its a low water shot next week & we wade chest deep on2 marks 300-400 metres off sore
i think his butt cheecks were talking

Always the way mate; I remember fishing a summer league match up Seahouses year before last, we had a lad with us on only his second time out. Well he could only cast about 15-20 yards & his first chuck landed a couple of rod lengths away from me, in fact slightly behind me as I was standing on the end of a small skeer.

"Oh well" I thought, he'll soon get the hang of things, of course 5 minutes later he's pulling one out about 6 1/2lbs, ends up with the heaviest fish of the day & about £80 for his efforts. "It's easy this sea-fishing lark innit"(or words to that effect) he was saying later........

Must add I don't think he weighed in again the rest of the summer.......

Ha good read Bill , and well done to the lad. Got to say well done to keith for doing the homework and finding the right spot as well though.

Don't know what it is with beginners but the times they end up with a biggie is unreal. Loads of time when troutfishing beginners pick up the bigger trout because they fish very close in where they patrol , when more experienced anglers tend to fish further out.

It's good to hear stories like that but he's got a lot of fishing to come when you don't catch nothing but that's what makes it exciting... keep on fishing....

well he was buzzin lads his face was a picture but as i've said lets see if he is still keen out on the rockedges, we have shown a few lads the marks we fish & most of them have said (u got 2 b joking u'll not catch me out there lol.
gonna have 2 lend him 1 of our spare rods 4 the skeers thou because his rod is way 2 soft, just a cheep shakspear he's got until he gets sorted with a better rod.
