Thou shall have a fishy...

[Malc]

...on a little dishy, when the boat comes in! As the song goes 

After a couple of trips to get the elusive herring I went out to a short pier that I couldn't fish in front of from the kayak as its the main shipping channel of the Tyne, where I saw some good fish arches on Thursday. Mid tide was strong but very low and I lost some sabikis from my rig to the weedy rocks, as it moderated two hours before high I got a big feisty mackerel and half a dozen casts later I put a hookless metal jig on and got my first herring on the drop, I thought it was a big launce so cranked it in! Half an hour later and I get a rattle and knew it was a herring and took it easy getting it in. Happy days and off home. In the sea 3 hours ago, but now in my tum. Patatas bravas, home grown runners and lots of seasoning and lemon, splash of vino to wash down. 

The other one was resting in tin foil as I was sharp set as they say.

Top fishing! And good work with the patatas bravas. Very fitting with this hot weather we're having!
