Shady 05/05/2007

Just Bert & me on Shady this morning, I picked Bert just after 5.0am and after a few boat checks we were out and fishing the same spot off the pier as last weekend by 5.30am. Bert was fishing with lures baited with ragworn & squid & I opted for the trusty flowing trace with fresh crab, bulked with some mushy ragworm & tipped off with squid and the codlings were going daft for it.

catch at 6.03am

When the score got to 7-1 (sorry I had to get that in, it doesn't happen too often ) Bert switched to using crab and soon started catch fish after fish.

catch at 7.0am

About 7.30am we were joined by John & his mate on Phoenix, then Norman & Steve on Slinky and both boats landed a codlings, before heading off towards St Marys.

Thanks (yet again) for the beer & wine Norman, you'll be bringing a cheese board next

The codlings kept coming at a steady pace and we ended up with 28, about half a dozen around the 5lb mark and one or two up to 6-7lb.

Absolutlely fantastic mornings fishing, great company & great weather (apart from a stray bucket of sea water ) - what more could you ask for - CHEERS! Bert

Nice one Keith & bert

excellent day once again, we ended up with a nice bag too (as i`m sure I`ll get round to posting soon) . Looks like this could be a bumper season if things progress from here.
Usually this is the time for the first fish not the big bags and big fish as we`re seeing here

well done mates, (i thought you`d appreciate the wine keith)

[Tadpoleman]

Well as keith says they were going mad for the crab :thumbup: and he was the only one with "Devon peelers" and you needed a 2lb hammer to get there jackets off !! i tried the worm and squid tactics with no results
We fished some secret little wrecks about 1/2 a mile of the tyne entrance
location XX didnt have to go far at all
Seen Glen in his boat heading north early on and gave him a shout on the radio to say get ya sell ova here but there was no reply
A good result today just about paid back all the favours of " Just get me a few fillets " for every one who has helped us over the last few weeks:red:

Well done to Keith for pulling his weight in the fish catching stakes(about time )
The weather played out-the boat behaved its self-and the cod played out WHAT MORE COULD A BLOKE WANT ??answers on a post card please lol
roll on next week hope the fish stick about for a little while longer
cheers
