River wear.

Got a message off Sam asking if i fancied a session, had to pick our lass
up first so got there a couple of hours later sam only had one before i got
there so baits up first cast fish flattie 34cm second cast flattie 33cm in 2
hours i manage 6 fish canny weather to be out and not a bad 2 hour
fishing all fish took crab fresh and frozen first time out in weeks might
have another sesh through the week.

All fish were returned to fight another day.

The last photo i was just messing about with me phone and it came out good
there is loads of good flounders in the river at the minute crab and macky are
the baits to be useing with a long hook lenght or a 2 hook flapper.

Season

Well i think the cod season is over there's loads of west winds forecast so
i guess the cod/codling  will move out into deeper water and feed on
the sprat so i guess its flattys and plaice till the macky come in still might
also there's the bass to go at as well.

Going to give eyemouth and abbs ago in the summer and try a few other new
marks up that way might even try a session over the mull and maryport for
a few plaice also try a few days out on the boat not very good on boats but
i keep on trying. lol

We had a bit bait left from the session down Ryhope so off to the hall

lol and he was back on track it was a fish a chuck for the both of us
great night and some nice whiting biggest 1lb 5oz and the rest around
the 1lb mark we kept 8 for the table it was whiting all night apart from

With the water still having a nice swell running in and after Fridays blank

there about 3.30pm water was still a canny way so wasn't expecting much
till it got dark and the tide came in a bit but it was very slow only out Jackson
managed a codling out a little stumpy.

That was it for the codling last time we were down there we had a few cod out in
the same conditions but it wasn't to be i managed a flatty and a whiting just before
