Me and Julie headed up north for a bit fishing see if we could wangle
a cod or 2 out we have never fished this mark before so we didn't know
what to expect we got there about 10.45am we fished a few hours down
and a few hour up first cast I managed a size codling which went back
to fight another day.

then loads of bites that we missed I put that down to being a bit rusty
its was our first session in a few month haha . Julie hooked into a lobby
but on the lift it dropped so all she was the nipper.

 

 

An hour later she managed a codling just under size.

We had more bites after that, that we missed again put down to being rusty
 haha anyway last cast I managed to pull in a codling just under size as well
all fish took lug and wouldn't go for anything else.

hours down the wear this afternoon fishing was crap

leaves but when the tide stop pushing it was a
lot better any way i blanked as usual and Jackson
managed a codling out we fished up till high water.

Julie also joined us but never fished just chilled out LOL

This is a great mark for flounders you also will pick a few coalie up
as well it a comfortable spot to fish in the summer.

You are better off fishing this mark 3 hours before high water and
3 hours after any more and you will have to drag the fish over the
mud.

Weather      Windy

Bait.            Frozen Blacks , Macky

I was going to fish yesterday after the match but the
beer got the better of me so i never went. so dropped
our lass off at work this morning and headed down the
tyne wish i never it was crap not even a bite wish i just
went to the wear like i planned but never mind 2 blanks in
a row fishing is crap at the minute it can only get better.

The fishing is not at its best at the minute there is odd fish
getting caught a few plaice from shields and flounder from
the rivers loads of small codling coalie and whiting about.

The weather is warming up slowly but surely so we are hoping
the fishing picks up with the warm weather the crab will move
in and start to peel and the fish should follow them in.
