ain't done much river fishing since i was a kid. mostly sea and lake and bugger all for a couple of years now. Pike fishing is fun - proper scrap, some strong enough to tug your boat along.
Come on Rooch, update on what you've caught with photos as proof of course just to prove you haven't raided the nearest fishmongers
Was on a boat out of Sunderland today, Mackerel lots, Whiting lots, a few codling, dog fish and Gurnard
I forgot to mention a lot of Bleg, Also I was fishing with large baited Daylights, 3 hooks, got 2 Mackerel and on lifting them into the boat also hooked a seagull. Bloody thing had the hook through its beak but was still managing to fly around dragging 2 mackerel and a 12 ounce weight! One of the lads had to help as I couldnt keep hold of the rod and sort it out, but it went back relatively unharmed
Do you know what mate , the silence is deafening, not pleasant at all anyway she’s back on Wednesday and then we are off to Northumberland for a couple of weeks.
