Seaton Sluice then River Blyth

[carlrmc]

Headed down to fish 'the sumps' at the back of the Kings Arms pub at Seaton Sluice lastnight for low water and to fish it up. First cast caught a Coalie of 32cm and with the incoming tide and a bit of movement in the water thought things looked promising for a Codling but nowt! Fished it about half way up and as we were getting pushed back quickly we packed up and moved down to the River Blyth hoping of a bit sport on smaller baits. Constant rattles on the rod tip in the river which produced plenty of undersized Codling and what Im pretty sure was a small Haddock! Ugly looking thing, I tried uploading the pic but it failed for some reason, I will try again. As the water was near the top at about midnight bites picked up and we caught a couple of descent Whiting of 37cm which I was more than happy with, my biggest anyway. One for the pan and one back to fight another day. Baits used Lug, mussel, frozen crab and squid.

Nice one,seems the rivers have a load of undersize codling in at minute...but plenty decent whiting too.
