Another go
- Thread starter brash1
- Start date
Cheers Ian
Gonna have another bash tonight after this mornings disaster on Roker, If anyone passing stop and say hello, i will be fishing with an old mk1 greys appollo and a lil spining rod, you never know i might actually catch something!!!!!
Good luck fella, I was going to head over myself tonight - but decided to leave it until 8ish on Thursday - so how did you get on?
Aye, that's why I am heading out in the morning rather than tomorrow night, I reckon that it should be quieter. I have stuck a days holiday in at work and figure going on a morning during the week it should be fairly quiet (not sure if I am going to do Roker or Shields yet - might even give both a try!)

That's what I thought the other week mate, when I got on end of pier they had a tent up and were camping out.

Its shocking isnt it, my 9 year old son is dying to go but there is no way i would take him down there with 6 ounce sinkers getting flung about with streams of daylights, Would love to find somewhere to take him spinning that isnt chokka and has a good chance of mackerel, i took a drive to frenchmans point the other day hoping that would be empty, but even that had a good few people on it!!!!

How crazy is that!!!
What time does shields pier open on a morning then? I was going to head down to Roker as I was under the impression they locked shields overnight?

The mornings aren't any better mate on the piers.... I was down yesterday ay 06:30am and there were 12/15 lads fishing already. SSP has been fishing well right the way along though... most lads are going straight to the end but I have seen fish from the brigade hut (start of pier) right through too the end.... worth a shot still.

Shields pier is locked overnight but easy to climb around the gates on the big beach side mate... if your fit and able its a doddle
I take it Roker will be just the same on a morning then? Might give Roker a try first, then head back up to Shields on the way home. Knowing my luck I will end up in the water as I try to get round the gate!

Try taking him just past the brigade hut on ssp , there is a fairly safe ledge to stand on and not over crowded with plonkers
Cheers James will give it a bash next week when he off school.
Is that casting into the harbour thing or into the sea then?

try getting down for first light.... 4am
you will find not many down, most start to wander along the piers around 6.30.
