Report on-board Sweet William
Huge thanks to Duncan, Archie, Niall, Amelia and of course Willow for coming aboard for a very late notice run out today.
We headed out to flat seas, zero wind and we were also blessed with the most incredible sunrise.
The first stop off for bait proved fantastic sport, with pollock, mackerel, coalies, whiting and pouting, but not a single cod coming aboard.
We thought we'd have a try on a few wrecks seeing as we were already a decent way out. It was pretty painful to say the least. A long spell over the course of almost a couple of hours with only Niall managing to find a nice cod, his new PB, at just over 3lb.
We kept persevering, and Archie found a nice pollock and a lovely cod for his new PB at just over 6lb.
Once we finally hit slack water and the drifts slowed, we put on the big wrecking rigs, and headed off to a favourite Ling spot...Duncan almost immediately hauled up a beautiful 18'11 Ling!
At this point the tide was starting to flood hard, and conditions again became very difficult. We called time and headed off on the long steam home, happy after yet another incredibly challenging but very rewarding day! View Boats Page

We had a short run out today, just the two of us, to celebrate the First Mate's 13th birthday.
We headed out late, to avoid the early slack water, and arrived at our chosen anchorage just as the tide began to ebb. It was great sport at first as we were plagued by smaller codling, but unfortunately nothing noteworthy came aboard.
We waited on anchor as long as we could, without wasting too much bait, until we approached the next slack water.
We headed offshore for a little winter wrecking session and struggled until the tide completely stopped running. We knew we were in a great spot, and as soon as we just sat pretty much motionless above the wreck, so we could drop right in amongst it without dragging and snagging, we could both instantly feel smaller fish pecking away, so knew the wreck was healthy.
We both reeled up, and changed to homemade two hook wrecking rigs with 10/0 meat hooks, 10" muppets and whipped on some monster cocktails!
We knew we literally had time for one more drop before the conditions changed, so I re-positioned the boat, charged up Henry's muppet with the UV torch, and sent him straight back down while I sorted my own gear out. He knocked into a lovely birthday PB cod for our efforts on the very last drop of the day. As we often joke, it's not over until we say it is!
We headed straight back to watch the sunset whilst drifting behind the Tyne's south pier, whilst enjoying a steaming hot stew. As they say, the harder you work the luckier you get!
Even though it was hard going, you're only 13 once, and it turned out to be a challenging but lovely run out. View Boats Page

We made it out for the first time in while yesterday, expecting a decent day.
We were met with with an iced up boat, lightly iced marina, wind gusting way higher than forecast and an uncomfortable little south easterly swell with 4 second intervals.
After the big northerlies recently, we had a feeling the fish may be full to bursting, and threw the ropes early in the hope of finding some decent dawn codling on the inner grounds.
By the time the sun had risen, and it started to get lighter, nothing noteworthy had made an appearance so it was fairly clear they weren't feeding.
We tried everything to find them , hauling, moving and re-setting the anchor at least 6 or 7 times, headed north, south, exploring the normally productive grounds inside, checked some underwater skeers, looked slightly further off, and even had a run a good way out to see if they'd pushed off. Once we had wind against tide, we even tried a few inshore wrecks, hovering above them perfectly, with little more than the obligatory pouting and some small codling to show for the efforts. I'd say we took no more than a dozen fish all day.
We broke out a hot beef stew with tiger bread, washed down with tea and coffee to boost the morale just after midday, with the craic and banter being top tier thanks to Mark, Barry, Amelia, Archie, Nile, Craig and the lads.
Other than the fishing being slow, it was a great run out for this time of year, hopefully we get another couple of decent days soon once they're back on the feed. View Boats Page

Huge thanks to the lads for a run out today, with only 12 hours notice!
The weather this morning was calm, with a light breeze, incredible sunrise and flat seas. We were surrounded immediately by fins passing by on the way south, and then again as they headed back north shortly afterwards.
The fishing was slow but steady, with some nice codling coming aboard intermittently throughout the morning, and plenty of pan-sized whiting and big fat pouting for sport.
The wind began to pick up late morning, and by the time we reached slack water everything tailed off as expected.
We hauled anchor after a cracking day out to mark the first session this year, and headed for home shortly after lunch.
The First Mate bagged himself a nice brace of codling for his tea tonight, so he was pretty pleased with himself!
The bait of choice today were cocktails comprising monster cart wings from Billy's Fishing Tackle, squid and mackerel fillets.
We have availability this coming weekend 7th and 8th January 2023 (weather permitting); feel free to give us a call, or message, on 07740 706007 if you fancy a run out. View Boats Page
