Reef fishing

[DaveMason]

Anyone done any reef fishing ( or large sandbank ) fishing off Northumberland ( Craster / coquet island way ) . Looks like some good shots in abundance .

Dave,
Theres some nice areas at Cresswell (the skiers) where you go from 90ft to about 30 foot in a few yards drift, decent cod off the edges and 3-4 lbdrs off thr skeirs, its about15mile from tyne (nee probs LOL).
best after easter ......... and the waters clear, you can see lures to about 25-30ft on a good day

Like me and Mark talked about sat, the best reef i have fished is the one from craster harbour right upto the castle, close in with very rough ground that holds, ling,cole,cod,wrasse and other species, there is also the two yellow boys north and south, hendon sand bank is good for whiting and hoddock not sure about codling fishing thou.

Well at least IS will have a use for that guzzler of his.....bit of a roll cage and away he goes. Does anyone know if he has a competition licence.

 

[DaveMason]

Getting back to the original point for a while , anybody been out to the \"Craster skeers \" - two massive lumps of rock at 25mtrs deep in 50mtrs of water , looks the dogs doodas .

How Dave, us Shore Wallers can hit that mate with a decent hoy. Safety goggles necessary on account of the bits of crustacea (Shit) fleeing all awa

Lobster pots in garden, boat trailer next door but one, 25 degrees NNE from goal post on playing field next to swings, .

July Dave, July.

 

[DaveMason]

Marc ,

Any chance of some pixs when your diving on the wrecks , sure it would really go down well .

 

[Marc]

I\'ll have to work out how to post pics first, is there a tutorial on here anywhere telling you how to.

 

[Marc]

Found it, will have a read and see what I,ve got.

Just had a thought, how deep are the wrecks yous fish from the tyne.

Lisa\'s got a underwater video camera, could film the wreck for yous, sort of a 3D sonar thinngy, it would give yous a better idea of what yous are fishing over.

 

[DaveMason]

Marc,

Don\'t think there are many over 50m , whtas the diving limit anyway ?
