Massive thanks to the guys for a run out today. We departed Royal Quays Marina and exited the Tyne piers with sunshine, no wind and flat calm seas.

The first stop off to check for mackerel, produced no mackerel, but did produce a lovely 8 lb Codling amongst other fish, which seemed promising.

By the time we’d headed a further 10 miles or so, a strong offshore wind began to pick up, and proved relentless for the remainder of the day.

We couldn't get to the spots we wanted to check out but made the most of a few inshore marks; and were made to work hard for it.

Thankfully, the harder you work the luckier you get, and all the lads went home with a solid bag full of fillets for the pan.
