Species Mission

[The Great Wallsendo]

What about a NESA Species Mission similar to the one the Sea Angler run.....?

Reckon it would be good - and hopefully encourage people to look outside the box a little in trying different tactics.

What do you think? Been done before?

id have a go.. have only been back into fishing since january and have already cought, codling, red kelp cod, rockling, coalie, polock, whiting, mackrel, flounder and eals.. and i'm hoping to get upto St abbs this weekend and get my first Wrasse.

That's a canny haul already ....got any pics apart from the red cod?

 

[phill_itofish]

yeah will put them on this thred

 

[phill_itofish]

how would a spicies thingy work then.. obviously over a set time and all fish would have to be photoed but (as i say to our lass) does size matter ??

 

[The Great Wallsendo]

I would say the following criteria should apply:

• Has to be North East Coastline - as this is NESA
  
• Size does not matter
  
• Posts must include tactics used, Photo and Location

Anyone else out there interested? Or is just me and Phil?

 

[The Great Wallsendo]

No set time frame - ongoing....

 

[phill_itofish]

Just the north east,,, thats fair enough,, whats the bonderies then? how far north and south can we go?

 

[The Great Wallsendo]

Until we get to Scotland or the very bottom of Yorkshire i would imagine...unless my interpretation of the North East is wrong?

 

[phill_itofish]

heres a few

 

[phill_itofish]

No St Abbs or Eyemouth then

No St Abbs or Eyemouth then

That's the Borders isn't it? a bit of a grey area......that should be OK I reckon

 

[phill_itofish]

yey lol am definatly up for a bit of that mate

 

[The Great Wallsendo]

I think the reason there is a general lack of enthusiasm (other than Phil and me ) in this endeavour is because many people "out there" have already caught the fish listed - therefore why try again?

How about this then?

A weekly/bi monthly/monthly species to catch? or maybe even 2/3 species over a month - intentionally targeted and not caught "by chance"

I fancy trying for those Wrasse at St Marys this friday night so what about starting with that? maybe a couple of the other species as well?

cool with me.. i'll still be lugging my big rod out hoping for cod but will use my second rod and my float/spinning gear aswell..

Ok so this month Wrasse and what else Pollock ? bass maybe? or should we go for somthing we'll catch like mackrel lol

 

[The Great Wallsendo]

It's me and thee so far then we may as well kick it off...

Aye - Wrasse, Pollock and Bass (fooking hell never caught one but hey isn't that the point? )

has to be photo'd with location and tactics used...

First week in September we see how we've fared....unless we've caught them before then :question: :exclam:

Game on.. have read reports or wrasse and pollock being caught locally and i'd say dunstinbrough or st abbs is the best bet, the bass is another matter but have got a few plugs so might through them in off the rocks at the weekend. good luck mate!

 

[The Great Wallsendo]

mebbes we should have started with mackerel, coalies and the humble rock blennie...i coulld have scored all of those on friday night...........

Good luck mate :thumbup:

 

[greggthe1]

Count me in aswell. I'm going to be up at Seahouses a lot over the next few week's so i'll take the camera along.
Should manage the wrasse and pollock with a bit of luck but haven't got a clue where i will catch bass..

 

[The Great Wallsendo]

Woo Hoo Welcome aboard Gregg!!

Just realised if we should catch Bass we'll have to keep it quiet (at least as far as exact location)
