We welcomed Spike and his crew of guys and girls aboard for a short run out yesterday morning. The weather was great, sunny with little to no wind…when we crossed the bar and exited the Tyne you’d think we’d just entered the perfect storm due to the direction of the horrible underlying swell direction bouncing off the piers!

Thankfully once we’d got clear of the piers it calmed down, but by then we were already a couple of troops down due to seasickness.
We headed north towards Blyth and stuck inside on the rough ground and found half a dozen small codling, most undersized, with the biggest being approximately 42cm. No landing nets or digital scales required today!
After some coffees and snacks the guys perked up, so we headed back towards St. Mary’s lighthouse and found a substantial shoal of coalies for some end of morning sport. They were coming up pretty much non stop up to three at a time, with some nice sized fish amongst them. It was a cracking way to end the day, before heading home after lunch.
There were some positive signs that we may well get a spring run of codling soon, fingers crossed! :-) -

Huge thanks to the lads for an impromptu run out today.
View Boats Page
We set off this morning with pretty much no wind and very calm seas, as compared to the last month of relentless northerly swells!
Once the slack water had almost passed, we dropped the anchor on the inner rough ground and waited for the tide to start to flood.
There were no bites whatsoever for the first 30 minutes, but once the tide began to properly push, codling, pouting and whiting began to come onboard in waves.
As we approached the midday slack water, we hauled anchor and headed out to try a few wrecks; we tried every type of bait and rig but nothing noteworthy made an appearance other than a nice little haddock and numerous big fat pouting.
Once the tide began to ebb, and the drift speeds increased, we stopped for some refreshments before the steam home.
Fantastic run out for this time of year, with great craic and conditions!
If you fancy a day on the water contact the skipper, Geoff, on 07740 706007 with all enquires. -

Report on-board Sweet William
We headed off late this morning, unfortunately missing the dawn fishing and back end of the ebb tide, to avoid the inconveniently timed slack water.
View Boats Page
The conditions were great, very light to no wind on occasions, with a lazy swell which was forecast to build later in the afternoon.
We dropped the anchor on the the inner rough ground and immediately began to pick up some chunky whiting and pouting in good numbers for sport, with some of the guys using feather traces taking up to a dozen each.
Once the flood tide started pushing, the perfect pan sized codling started coming aboard, again in good numbers, with some of the guys taking about five or six each for the pan.
Last season, thankfully, we didn't see a single dogfish come aboard; only to have multiple come aboard in one session today!
At around 1:30pm, the 2.2 metre northerly swell forecast for Sunday started to roll through and build noticeably. Towards the back end of the flood the guys were pretty much fished out, so we headed home mid afternoon after a cracking day out!
If you’re interested in experiencing a day on the water, no matter your skill level, give the skipper Geoff a call, or message, on 07740 706007. -
