Day started well, cheese on toast for breafast and I was all ready to go by 7.30. The missus dropped out said it was to early,my dad said he was doing the garden, so just me then and radio Newcastle.

Fuelled the boat up, set up the GPS, fish finder and radio, got the old green muppets set up plenty of rag on them, in the words of the song "all by my self."

Little did the dropouts know it was going to be a good one.

10 good sized cod by 12.30pm

Even two at a time twice.

So after a few picture texts to the dropouts the cold Northerly wind started to pick up, so it was back to Sunderland marina at full steam, passing several small boats that were starting to get chucked about a bit.

Dropped a few in for my dad, just to prove a point. :)

Back in the house for 3.30pm to the disgust of the missus who said "I thought you were only going to be a couple of hours." :cool:

Sorry no myspace style pics of the fishing trip as there was ony me.

The good news is the cod are back!

10 fish that's a good solo catch :) bet your dad wishes he had left the gardening. Were you fishing the rough ground or wrecks.
 
Nice one bet the dropout kicked themselves lol
Sounds like you got best of day usually when you stay and put up with the wind you get very little anyway and the filleting takes time:)

The rough ground off Ryhope, if you look inland I was lined up with the yellow field of rape seed sort of Ryhop / Seaham about a mile out.

You see this poor young lad has not got any wreck coordinates to try and woruld love to....Hint hint go on PM me one to try.

cheers Alan :D
