Had a short session on Roker Pier last night, just a couple of hours after work for the last of the flood.
Fished in between the two sets of steps casting seawards. Bait was rag and mussel.
Had bites pretty much all session but couldn't connect with anything until last cast I had an unmissable bite and connected with a heavy and hard fighting fish.
Hoped it was my first sizeable cod but turned out to be a cracking Pollock which bottomed out the kitchen scales (4 1/2lb limit) when I got it home.
Thanks to the good lad one up from me who handballed it up for me.
Will post pic if I can work out how to transfer it from my phone.
