Shady 31-05-08

Bert was away this morning so Kyle (assisted by Kenny) skippered the boat and I tagged along for the ride

We headed out about 5.30am expecting heavy seas, there was a slight swell but not too uncomfortable, unfortunatley the ebbing tide made it difficult to fish the normal hot spot, we did however pick a few up before moving further south. This was the story of the morning really, a few fish on most of the inshore wrecks but nothing like the numbers we've had the last few weeks. We did have a few drifts on a 3 mile wreck but again a few codlings & mackeral but no great numbers.

We ended up with 17 cod (biggest 7.5lb) & 1 ling.

Well done Captain Kyle!!!

Forgot to say, THANKS!!! for trusting us with the boat Bert .

ps

If that's your rod & reel in the piccy it wasn't me using it

Excellent lads as ever and nice fish Keith by my reckoning that would make it the first time this year that Slinky has outfished Shady...in terms of average fish per man

 

[KeithB]

What can we say - Virgin Skipper!!

LOL stay on hols bert, it gives us a chance .

seriously though, well done lads, we know how hard it was there today ..... we ended up with a bonus catch by heading north but the wrecks around the tyne were very hard work ...........

cheers lads

Norm

well done lads,good report. It seems as if boat catches are picking up.

 

[KeithB]

It was a very enjoyable catch Norman, I'm not a great fan of pirking but caught that one on a muppet just above the pirk as per Lucky Eddie i.e. first rip. Maybe the first reasonable fish I've caught on an unbaited lure.

 

[Norman]

unbaited lure ........ now there`s a story of today ......... but later


lucky eddies tactics on lucky eddies rod ...... ??????

 

[KeithB]

I can say in all honesty I tampered not with Eddie's rod.

Kylie's some skipper though, he can drive the boat and fish 2 rods at once.

 

[Tadpoleman]

MY ROD WAS GETTING USED WHILE I WAS AWAY !!!!!
Well i guess that Kyle thought that it was the rod that caught the cod
Well as long as he aint been in me tackle box as well,I`m glad you`s got out today and got a fix ,theres still plenty left out there for next week
Who`s EDDIE anyway?
