Some lovely Pollack, Ling, Coalies and Mackerel in September aboard Sweet William

September has pretty much been a write off from a weather perspective, but we've taken every opportunity to stick our nose out of the piers for a couple of hours here and there, when the conditions permitted.

We welcomed aboard a well known Toon legend for a short private charter for a couple hours, and managed to find some coalies and mackerel.

Daz and his son Hugo again came out on a short evening trip and we found plenty of mackerel, coalies, whiting, pouting and smaller codling.

Massive thanks to Paul for organising a short trip to celebrate Bobby's 14th birthday with James, Joel, Joseph and the kids. We had a brief hour's fishing and a run upriver to see the stunning Gateshead Millenium Bridge and Newcastle Quayside.

We finally had a decent day's fishing with Peter and the lads and lasses yesterday, even though the wind and sea conditions weren't great; the instruction was to find the late season mackerel if possible, which we did. Once we'd filled up all the tubs and boxes, we had a try on a few wrecks and some lovely ling and pollack came aboard. The decent stamp of cod are still elusive, with a smaller stamp of pan sized codling being the order of the day.

With all things considered, we've made the most of a difficult month; fingers crossed we get a good run over the coming weeks!
