Roker pier is the same, Not seen or heard of many caught. A few mackerel on the end on some tides and inshore on the float. Very inconsistent and not seen much feed about inshore. About half way along is getting far enough for me to walk these days. It's me bleedin' back innit. :eek:

Aye It's ok alan.. Chance for you to get your own blog up and running. Shore reports the lot. Sod The Sunday Sun mate ...... Check the HELP button below. :D

Proper beach session there Geordie, much more exiting that fishing for fower hours on the boring Blocks ..... Yawn. :)

Nice one George. Anybody can catch 'em on the blocks. ;)
