When we get a call from Tamas and the lads (and lasses), we already know it's going to be a good day, and that's before we find any fish!

We headed out to sunshine, light winds, and a bit of a South Easterly roll.

We stuck close inside to find a few mackerel for sport, the pan, and bait and then slowly started to creep further out to deeper water and the bigger wrecks.

We rigged the guys up for wrecking and made the final jump offshore in search of a better stamp of fish.

Some lovely cod, pollack and smaller ling came up before we had to head home to get one of the lads back in time for the airport.

We enjoyed non stop sport on coalies, whiting, pouting and mackerel throughout the day.

The First Mate had a couple of drops on the final wreck, and winkled himself out a nice pollack weighing in at 7.1lb on the digital scales which is his new PB!

It was an absolute pleasure to welcome aboard Steve, Andy, Jackie and team today who had travelled all the way from Carlisle, Chris and Peter, and Andy who was experiencing his first taste of wreck fishing!

We headed out to a slight fret, flat calm seas and warm conditions. The first stop immediately produced a fantastic stamp of mackerel for both bait, and the pan.

We headed off on a fair steam to some less frequented wrecks, and began to pick away steadily. Andy soon mastered the technique to wreck fishing and hooked up with a great 5'7 lb cod as his PB.

Chris and Peter had some cracking fish between them, with Peter knocking into a double string of both a cod and ling together, with the cod weighing in at 8’9 lb.

Andy (part of Steve's party) quietly picked away on some lovely fish all day, with a fantastic ling coming in on the digital scales at exactly 9'0 lb. It was very clear that this wasn't Andy's first rodeo, and a pleasure watching him work.

The sun made an appearance for a good part of the afternoon, with some incredible Minke whales slowly breaching past close to the boat on a few occassions which is always amazing to witness.

The steam home was also an event in itself, with an extremely dense fog bank greeting us a few miles from the Tyne; no sooner than we arrived back at Royal Quays Marina, it was back to sun and clear skies.

Massive thanks to James, Jamie and the lads for a cracking run out today.

The wind was gusting hard offshore in the morning so we stuck close to the coastline and picked up strings of mackerel inside for bait.

When it started to calm down, we headed out to a few wrecks, but the gusts were still fairly prohibitive. When it properly dropped off, and the sun came out, we utilised the back end of the flood to full effect and hit some productive wrecks.

Even at slack water and on the ebb the fishing remained steady until the back end of the day when the wind picked up again, pretty much stopping play, so we agreed to call time and headed back home.

A good number and solid stamp of fish today, including cod, ling, coalies, whiting, scotchies, haddock and mackerel.

We welcomed aboard Kingie and the lads for his birthday celebrations yesterday; and once again headed off to clear skies, sunshine and flat seas!

We started well and picked up strings of coalies, and mackerel for bait at the first stop.

It was a fair steam to the first wreck which produced a solid 5.1 lb cod for Tucker on the first drop of the day.

We made the most of the flood tide, and steadily picked away on a series of wrecks which produced a solid stamp of ling, and cod up to 8.5 lb for Kingie to win the sweep.

Quality craic all day with the lads, incredible weather, flat seas, and some lovely fish for the pan…a few more days like that please!
