landed at seaham bout 1 1/2 before low water and fished an hour into the flood, fished a gap in the rocks a few hundred yards to the north of featherbed rocks. first time there and it looked a decent shot (backed up by a couple of very chatty locals) tried baits at thirty yards in the surf and baits at distance (bout 60 yards, still in the surf:D:D) to no avail. is it more of a high water or maybe night time venue? anyway, decided on a move, fancied steetley as not been there yet but opted for roker as its not so far home afta:D fished about 50 or so yards down from the roundhead. long story short, both of us blanked (yet a bloomin gain:D) counted over thirty rods this afternoon and saw nowt come in:( (proper sh*te like). good few boys heading on for an evening sesh about 6 bells as we left so here's hoping they have a better time than us.
oh, had rag, lug, yellowtails razor, mackie, mussel and a few ancient frozen crab.

losing the faith brothers...........

depending on what the family's upto might make the N v S (cannit promise yet like), probs be the last outing of the winter.
