I left the house 230am Friday and picked my pal up, made good going on motor way was dead. Not much to report on, went all that way hoping for thornie with no joy, I fished west beach first 2hours of the flood. Got a few knocks but think was just crabs, then we head up the prom. Was 6 people fishing a guy from Durham and his m8 from Blyth and 2 blokes from Carlisle. Was only 4 fish landed between use to small dabs and I got nice flounder. So we had Bluey ,mackerel some dispoint Rag worm from byker and sand-eels. We decided to fly down to Whitehaven pier but that was just as bad, at least I never blanked like my m8 first time over the west for him.

Dont know how you do it George but 2-30 is not in my comfort zone it takes special dedication for that hour & travel. Well done on day m8 as always good report & pics

Well got to put the blank reports and bad days on as well that’s why it’s called fishing, atleast next time I can order my bait in maryport. The worm my m8 got from byker was really poor, but it was still agood day out. Be traveling down Blackpool soon so hoping to meet up with some of the he west coast guys. Afew bass been turning up st Duridge bay so might head up there at the weekend.

Contemplating whether or not to try Silloth for a ray or try and find the flat rock at Balcary this weekend, has anyone fished Balcary flat rock lately..?

Funny old walk to balcary when you can park at the end of prom at silloth seen sandman Paul got nice double the other week. Kid who’s got the shop in Mary port says the groins to the right are better than west beach.
