they where washed up all along the coastline, spent more time putting them back in than fishing.

nice big fish there, well done. where do people mean when they say lynemouth? i know the area because i'm from ellington and i've fished at cresswell a few times just behind the icecream shop. is it just further down the shore line where all the sea coal gets washed up?
There's tons of marks on your doorstep Baz, but being new to the sea means you've got to find out the marks name, location and then which conditions are best to producing fish at that particular mark. Knowing this info is paramount to catching something decent and is why the majority of sea angler's keep a diary of the fishing trips and conditions, so they can then refer back to this valuable information as not all of it can be remembered. I'm sure sooner or later we'll meet up on the beach and I can give you a few pointers of the marks around Cresswell, Private Beach, Bog Hall and Lyne burn. Then again I could do with a few pointers myself as I'm not catching to many right now!

thanks for the advice, I think I'll start a diary. after reading a few catch reports i'm going to try some other bait's aswell because at the moment i'm only using rag.

buitiful to eat, same texture as makerel, but a better taste. it is quite oily.
saw one washed up at newton at the weekend knew it was a bream and looking at the pics its one of these, this one was huge. dont know what they taste like but my dog seemed to be enjoying it.
