Started fishing from 10am until 10pm , started the day at Amble buying 50 frozen peeler, was all we could get would have prefered fresh. Any how back to fishing decided to bait fish as it was too rough for spinning between the 3 of us ,we pulled in about 10 coalies from 1 to 2lb and a few maccys. Fish of the day was caught by me. As i struggled with a birds nest for about 20 minutes finally sorted by cutting it out and joining the line again.. Reeled in and there was a 2lb Wrasse on the end a first for me.. Also bought one of those cheapy ebay lobster nets and caught a couple of sized edible crabs until the tide dragged it off. It was a bit scary at times with those winds and the rain i have to say. All in all a decent day ,no giant Cod but still sport.

Aye He must have been the bloke who lost a big cod on the reel in last week..
I agree with the advice but it never is sunny in the borders..
