Hi to all
Don’t know where to start :rolleyes: awe yeah the dock, would have helped if i had radar in the car so i could find my way down :):):) proper pea soup. With all the recent rain it was a no brainer, we had to get off shore to get away from the coffee coloured water inshore:(:(:( Wrecks it was! About 3 mile off and the fog started to lift and the sun started shining :):):) great, nice swell :):)
First wreck was an unexpected but pleasant surprise :o first drop, mackerel and Pollock :o:o:o:o great start. Another couple of drifts got another Pollock and more mackerel :):) then nothing over the next 2 drifts:(:(:( So off we went to the next wreck. The next wreck produced the best fishing so far this year for me :D:D:D:D
First drop was greeted by one Pollock at 4.5lb, one ling at 6.5lb and 4 cod around 5lb :):):) The rest of the drifts on this wreck weren’t as good as the first drop but steady away after that :):):) We had cod up to 10lb 4oz (caught by one happy chap. Ian W) and more Pollock :):):) We didn’t fill the boat up :(:(:( but it was nice to see some quality fish coming in :D:D:D We probably had about 6 drifts then it also slowed down :(:( so off we went to the next wreck. We had another couple of Pollock of the next wreck then lost the tide and everything just came to a standstill :(:(:(:( We only managed 1 more cod, about 3lb and the obligatory whiting on the ground then time was getting on so headed home.
Great day was had by all :D:D:D:D:D:D

Sorry photos too big to load on to here. Camera on phone!!!

A canny days Sport at last, well done for finding a few. Pity about the Pics mind. Photobucket is so easy as long as you size the Pics for the web on your PC.

Not had mackerel yet here at the tyne (well, not me anyway) but I'm sure they're there.

Hi Norman
Hope it has mate, time will tell. I'm sure the mackerel are there, just not big numbers " Yet " :D:D:D they where a nice size, just right for the smoker!
Just need the weather to settle down and things will get back to Norm :D
Just had a look at my notes and i caught first mackerel on the same weekend in May last year! but the cod is a diferent story. We where getting good 7lb to 14b fish consistently 6 weeks earlier than this. with a bit of luck the season will last a little later :D:D:D
Cheers for the comments Norman ;)
