After the previous haul 2 days earlier, I made a head for the same 2 wrecks we had success on last Thursday (previous report), with a mate, Steve
A real pea souper with a rolling northerly swell but glassy sea,but with a nice forecast for the day.
Both radars on with AIS and nice and steady past the Tees anchorage, we managed not to bump into any lumps of iron sat out there.
Got on the first wreck and into fish straight away, same second drift.
we had 4 on the boat in 30 mins, all nice fish 7-8lb.
Then the biggest seal in the world turned up, starvin,.... Steve had a nice fish on then bang it started taking off, yep the seal having fun and stripping 250m of Steve's braid off before it snapped.
We managed another fish each, then i had a nice one on and the swine did it to me, then again, the fat swine.
We moved off to the other wreck and although it produced on Thursday, we never landed a single fish, quite remarkable considering the way it fished a couple of days earlier.
so we droped onto some scrap not far away but on the way back to the first wreck, hit straight into some quality fish, with a nice drift and no seal.
I got one up 15lb-2oz and Steve landed one 10lb, with some nice 7-8lbers coming in, then the tide made it bad drift speed for the size of the scrap so we headed off back to no, 1 hoping the seal had gone.
Dropped straight onto the wreck and hit a fish a piece. then I had a real rod bender on well clear of the wreck and then bang............the bl00dy seal was still there. altogether it had 5 fish away from us.
We had 20 on the boat and 5 in the seals belly. sidewinders again was the ammo.
Myself with the fish of the day
all in all, some lovely quality of fish caught, great day out with Steve.
New boat in the dock, joined us "Lone Shark", nice boat.
Regards
Paul
