Ali-Cat Hartlepool 20th July 2014

Well I could have smashed that alarm at 3.30am   but got to get up or not go Pete picked me up at 4.30 & we set off for Hartlepool marina met up with the rest of the lads boarded Ali-Cat & away to catch mackerel first then fish the wrecks & ground.The mackerel were beauties proper big fat ones   & we had enough in no time so steamed out to our first mark first drop & there were fish coming up for everyone all around the boat except for me we had several moves & each mark produced a few fish but not for me   oh no I was thinking not the dreaded blank.Same lures same bait no bites then I had a mad half hour  where I had I good few whiting & ling  boy was I relieved at the end of the day we had filled three big fish boxes with ling cod & whiting which we gutted & filleted & shared out on the way in.Biggest fish of the day was an 11lb 2oz ling which netted batey £5 off each of us cod went to 5 1/2lb we had loads of big whiting & mackeral too with a few pout & gurnards in the mix so not a bad day in the end
