Swordfish 6/5/16

[Davem]

Had goodrun out Friday , headed south at first off Whitburn ( never seen as many nets out !) fished few wrecks but not much about . Relocated North and ended up with about 8 with 5 keepers .All fish fresh run but looked a bit underfed to be honest , all full of crab . Tried to get out today but turned back , Slinky Kate pirks did the damage along with Hokkai's .

cheers Dave lol

I know it's odd but honest we were not there at 8.am disappointed about not getting out, we really had been out since 4 lol
And had just finished filleting and bagging up at 8.00am when we spoke

You must have put some miles in looking for the fish, Dave. Well done on persisting to find some keepers.

It's interesting to read that there wasn't much around south of the river. I had a few hours out yesterday at Cullercoats and StMary's. Fishing was steady at first with small codling then it went dead when the tide turned. Water clarity there was improving but the May bloom has arrived and the water carrying a lot of algae.

 

[Davem]

Yes Kev we did , needed a good run anyway . Good day out though

 

[lingking]

interesting too that a few folks have commented on underfed fish

Wonder if it's the same for the lads off the shore? Anyway, at least you found a few fish mate nice one
