on Sweet William (Tyne, Tyne and Wear)

Report on-board Sweet William
We departed the Royal Quays Marina at 7:00am to glassy conditions on the River Tyne; no sooner than we’d got out of the piers an uncomfortable south easterly swell made its presence known.
We had wind, rain showers, fog, cold snaps, and occasionally sunshine for the majority of the day until late afternoon!
The first few wrecks proved quite slow until we got a fair way off, and Paul landed a lovely Pollack weighing 8.1 lb to start the sweep off!
The fishing got progressively better once the tide started to flood, and some lovely Cod, small Ling, Coalies, Pouting and a solid number of smaller Codling came aboard throughout the afternoon.
Hats off to the the lads for braving the conditions; they kept at it relentlessly, pretty much non-stop, for the entire day, other than a running pit-stop for snacks and coffee.
Daz must have been keeping his powder dry, as no sooner than I said we had about 10 minutes left he knocked into a 9.15 lb Cod to take the sweep. The digital scales were flashing onto the 10 lb mark but stayed mainly below the double and the First Mate had the final say :-)
Fantastic banter all day long with some cracking fish for the pan View Boats Page

We were up against it today; half of the full party broke down on the motorway and unfortunately ended up homeward bound to Manchester.
This left the lads aboard with no bait, so we headed out for a full day on the Tyne wrecks hoping to find some bait early.
The first three wrecks produced nothing noteworthy, but finally we found some pouting, which turned the day around. The next wreck started to produce some lovely Codling and by 11:00am, we stopped for a break, and had a quick group photo whilst the fish were still fresh.
After a few refreshments we headed onwards, and more Codling began to appear, including a couple of small Ling and Pollack which was nice to see this early in the year.
The confused sea state, and the wind, thankfully began to ease off in the afternoon, prior to the long run home with a lazy following sea.
Hats off to the guys for keeping at it pretty much non stop; against all odds we had a great run out with good banter and plenty of fish for the pan! View Boats Page

We’re not too sure what happened today! We popped down to the boat to sort out our new Century Tackle bag from Billy’s Fishing Tackle in North Shields.
The weather was glorious, sun shining and the marina was like a mill pond, so we thought we’d lock out and fuel up for something to do. That turned into ‘let’s have a look out of the piers’, and before we knew it we were an hour’s steam offshore onto a little wreck we’d fancied trying for a while.
We had three drifts and the First Mate picked up three fish; a lovely pollack and two perfect pan sized codling. As one of our regulars Bry would say, ‘this lad just never stops’ lol! We didn't want to empty the wreck so just headed straight back home…the forecast winds started to pick up on the run back and the temperature began to drop just as we got back into the piers.
An unexpected but cracking run out. View Boats Page

Huge thanks to Peter and the lads who set off at midnight and drove through the night to be here for a 7:00am start!
We set off this morning to the tail end of an incredible sunrise; unfortunately the sea conditions weren’t quite as forecast, with a manageable but awkward little south easterly swell.
We decided to have a full day on the wrecks after trying the inner rough grounds yesterday with little success.
The fishing was slow throughout the morning, but picked up steadily, as did the swell and wind throughout the afternoon.
We picked away until the conditions stopped play, and headed for home. Another tough but great day out! View Boats Page

Massive thanks to Thomas and the guys who had travelled up from Peterborough through the night.
It was a tale of two halves today. We set off to a stunning sunrise, which then turned to overcast freezing cold fret in an instant.
The inner grounds were almost baron, and by lunchtime we had a thumb sized codling and a pouting.
The sun came out, the wind died, the sea completely flattened and the jackets came off!
Once we had slack water with the small tides, we headed out to try some wrecks.
The lads were kept busy pretty much non stop for over three hours taking dozens of fish each, with some fine codling, and more pouting than we’ve ever seen in one session.
No two days are the same at this time of year; thankfully everyone went home happy with a chunky bag of fillets for the pan! View Boats Page
