plenty fish. almost a pig

[Deans]

been fairly quiet down my end over January,and having seen roker pier start fishing couple of weeks ago, thought it would be gods countrys turn soon........ ANYWAYS..... last Friday night tides were huge and chose me back garden mark. realised fish baits were not the choice, and switched to worm, resulting in four codling. should of had a fish a chuck but the boulders and kelp seemed to swallow everything even on the weakest rotten bottoms ha.
obviously the big fish caught over the weekend has kept everyones expectations high, so chose last night on the blocks and what a session it was. had 16 whities(yes unusual for the blocks I know) all put back. two cod and a fish which I bleedin lost..............

this was well in the teens, as it broke the surface it kept rolling its body and nodding its head, was walking it along to a boulder where I normally land them and pop.................... gutted. last time I landed one of these was 4 year ago. and I will probably have to wait that again

was at least 13 easy.... sometimes its impossible to get them in.

Nice catch mate. We were on the north drum and had two similar fish one of which was 5lb it too started rolling around as soon as it came to the top and to be honest looked a lot bigger than 5lb. Whities wee a right pain last night every cast.

was too heavy m8. from experience I know fish of 9lb less, the compression of the rod can get them over. tried this, too heavy, so tried to walk it down to a rock, and the ******* started head banging:red:

I was on Horden beach fishing last night and looked over to Hawthorn and Seaham pier and wondered why they are better spots for the Cod. Must be the rocks which Cod feed around. Had three none Cod sessions on the beach now. Mind I had loads of whities last night. Baits used were Bluey, Mackeral and frozen blacks. Should have popped in Nets at Ryhope and got some fresh yellowtails and tried from the rocks with rotten bottoms.
