I caught this fish weighing a fraction short of 2Lbs on the North Pier at Ramsey, Isle of Man at about an hour after high tide on May 2nd. I had bought a new spoon (cheap) and on the second cast it broke, leaving me the swivel and a couple of beads (just so that you know that it was not my knots!) I did not want to stop so I attached an old lure, a small fish about two inches long which I had knocked all the paint off through casting over some shingle beaches. So it was just plain grey with a treble attached. I put on a small squid head minus tentacles (I eat those) but leaving the smelly innards. On about the third cast I thought that I had caught some weed but soon realised that I had not. Lifting the fish up from the sea on a small spinning rod that cost about seven pounds was not easy. I now have a much better one.

The photo is of Hazel in April at the pier end in Port Saint Mary. We fished from the pier using queenie frills. These are the cuttings from the queenies (small scallops really but actually a different animal) which the processing plant give us for free. They are a bit unpleasant, being all the bits that the processors cut off and throw away. I baited up Hazel's hook and she just used a smallish aberdeen with a weight (4oz or so) hanging about a foot beneath. She lowered the line into the harbour and I went to sort my own kit out. Within three or four minutes she shouted as she had reeled in a decent Saithe or coalfish. We unhooked and she put some more bait on and I went back to my kit. In another five minutes she had another one! I finally got going and between us caught ten saithe within about forty minutes. This was on a falling tide about an hour after high water. We released all but four largest and were not too keen on the taste, but perhaps this was because a local told us that they are called shitties because they feed at the sewerage outfalls.......

Slinky Kate has been owned and run by Norman for four years. It has a 105hp Volvo Penta Deisel with a speed of 23kts from 4500rpm drive shaft. Maybe a little fast running on red diesel but he never pushes her for long at her top speed and has no problems. She is docked at the Royal Quays Marina one and a half miles from the mouth of the river Tyne, which is easy access into the North Sea. Normans fishing adventures, on Slinky Kate, often take him and friends wreck fishing, 5 to10 mile radius of Tynmouth but if weather conditions are favourable he will venture to wrecks 22/25 miles with some trips further north to fish off the mouth of the Coquet river at Amble, Northumberland. Normans love for his boat and fishing shows with his skill at moving Slinky Kate over the North Sea wrecks so as to position for an exact drift to maximise their catch. His skills are proved with the amount of Cod, Cod, Cod and then more Cod with Haddock, Ling, Coalie, Pollack, Plaice, Wrasse, Gurnard, & Mackerel. Skipper Norman and Slinky Kate are a team to watch and wonder when passing the pier ends at Tynmouth / South Shields in search of those ever dwindling shoals of North Sea fish.
