    Report on-board Sweet William

    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.
