so dont bloody feed em :D
 
I'm looking forward to the mackerel for a couple of trips to get stocked up :)., after that they become a nuisance in my opinion :(, when your'e drifting over a wreck numerous times and can't get down to it for the damn things :rolleyes:.

the only way to then get past them is a few offerings to the ling gods. Big mackeral baits - cant wait.

confirmed from tackle shop down here there were 17 caught on seaham pier and then they dropped offshore again with the wind but are between 5 and 9 miles off.

I've seen the day when i could put that amount away, but sadly now with age its one Happy Meal :(...but the toys are great :D;).

On the subject of haddock Alan, i've never had a haddock for over 15 years off either boat or beach, whats happened to them ?
 
yes mate on the bait - would have been during the summer on a 3rd of a mackeral fillet strip and 6/0 circle hook so definately a fluke. They from what i remember they were all caught towards the end of drifts on different wrecks. There is a pic on here in one on northeast1 posts.

Tight lines.

Well thats my target for this season " The Elusive Haddock ". ;)

Are you going to "target" them or just hope you catch one fishing fo cod? I'd like to catch a haddock or 90 as well , but I wouldn't know where to start as far as targeting them goes , I could catch a ling, a cod , a pollock , a mackerel and a coalie to order ( might catch one or two of the others trying :rolleyes::D) but a haddock???? :confused:

I use the word target loosely Ray, my target last year was a double figure cod, Ter got one, :) i didn't :(. I'll just hope i get one while targeting the cod and targeting the ling and targeting the pollock, etc, :D:D:rolleyes:
By the way, hows the new toy, I was hoping to see some pics of the galley ;)
 
Haddock Targeting .....
Close to Souter and fish as normal for cod ....... fingers crossed thats where they'll be. ;)
