seahouses.

Hello lads just in from our week away up at Seahouses.
Tried different places and failed miserably to land a Bass on a plug or spinner-and i tried from Banbourgh beach to seahouses. There was sea trout in the water because i seen one leap out near me.
Floated for Pollack at Dunstanborough and the gent on the castle let me though for nowt (thanks for the tip guys) whilst the missus and kids had a tour of the castle. Used sandeel but again no luck.
Best fishing of the week was floating in the harbour using ragworm. Caught loads of undersize coalie (or penwicks as we used to call them when i was a lad in Hartlepool).
Was tempted by a 3 hour boat session on board Unity but decided to save myself for our all day job next Monday at Craster with some lads from work.
A couple of down sides to seahouses is having no fresh bait in any of the local shops and the harbour pier walls (north and south) are built to high to fish outover on. Its a shame because when the weather is right i bet there is some excellent fishing to be had.
Mick.
