Nobody been out yet?

Its very poor Alan, the water is green as I have ever seen it, we tried wrecks 4 miles upto 12 miles off but only odd fish landed between the two of us who fished.

Odd fish more on the ground but mainly under 2lb and hard to come by. Its very slow at the moment I wont be out this weekend coming as not worth it just yet.

The annual Algae-Bloom should be a massive concern for our politicians. The farmers toss recklessly fertilizers and sh...t onto their fields, even when rivers like Tyne Wear and Tees meander through it and it all washes into the North Sea.

It gets worse every year and nobody reacts.

My worry is that it is still early and very heavy this year...hope this is not a sign that the worst is yet to come
 
I'm going to give it a try on Saturday. Light winds forecast, making tides. Just pumped some lug, so will be bait fishing round can area. As long as photobucket is working, will try uploading any fish pics:rolleyes: and give report, good or bad.

Same here m8 i'm going out, not expecting much but you never know
 
Hi, i went out on my uncles boat "my plaice" last Sunday 2nd April from Shields. There was a few fishing around the can but not much caught at all. We were closer to the land and my dad got a cod about 1 and half's lbs and I had a cod 2lb 7. Plenty of fish there but just not biting.

Going out tomorrow so will write a report when we get back. Water was very green last week too.
 
Good luck to everyone who gets out, I might see you there. The small tides won’t help much and with the mucky water anchors and big baits will be my first tactic.
 
Out on the Sapphire today wasn't expecting much 2nd time out on the boats but few cod caught and i got my 1st ever Ling, well 2 infact biggest @ 8lb , thoroughly enjoyed the day, sea is alot clearer at 9-10 mile mark
 
Well as what often happens it's amazing what 1 week can do, fished Saturday and ended up with 28 cod and ling along with some smaller fish put back and pouting. Never bothered with the rough ground really but heard fish coming from the ground
