Best think to do mate is put some time in, find a sand beach take 2 beachcasters vary your distance, vary your baits from crab and ragworm, then take a rod up and work some lures it's a long task but then you find your own mark and get the fish your after it's a brilliant feeling. P.s water is a little dirty still for bass but worth a try. Also fish the same mark over different stages if the tide and on different tide sizes you will be surprised what difference there is. Good luck mate

Have shot on lynemouth beach south side right in the middle part of the beach where there are a lot of breakers "throws up bass all the time
Not something people tend to disclose on open forums and for good reason. As with most marks these days, if a good catch report is posted, the place will be heaving with people chasing reports. There are bass present at loads of marks along the whole stretch of the north east coast. Putting in some hours will see you onto some fish. General bass tactics apply. Places to consider are headlands, shallow rocky areas with good weed cover and surf beaches. The internet is a useful tool for learning the tactics to apply, discovering marks comes with a great sense of achievement.

I might be wrong, but reckon that if there was such a thing as a really good bass mark in the area you mention, we'd all know about it one way or another. Nowhere is consistently better than anywhere else, really. Bass are fairly thin on the ground, but KarlM is right - get to know the right tactics and the areas where Bass (might) feed and then be patient. I've caught an occasional Bass from a few different sandy beaches in mid Northumberland but, if you hit upon a few, don't publicise it too much!

There are a few northern marks mate that produce year after year. Luckily wet few people fish them and keep it quiet. It wouldn't be the first time commercial fisherman have read the forums and then netted the mark to death.
As mentioned put some time in... Almost all sandy beaches will kick out an odd fish or two. If you put in the hours with the right tactics and your in with a good shout

aye Tynemouth nightmare lol
I was out at Teesmouth yesterday afternoon for the high tide. Parked up along the end of the Fruitarom road and took my newly acquired trolley across the dunes and beach to ease the strain. Where the path comes out on the beach head straight for the cranes on the opposite bank.
I fished right out from the narrow part of the river where there's a sweeping bit of beach and the buoys directly in front of it. It's just downstream from the Greatham Creek mouth.
I do believe this will be a good bass spot as well as doggies and rays in the summer.
The water is exceptionally clear so lure fishing will be good here and you can even go into the light surf with chest waders as the slope off isn't much close in. Best of all I know ther are fish worth catching right now.
Although I didn't get a sniff myself, a damn seal popped up around 60 yds out with a pretty large round bodied fish in its mouth, perhaps to 5 lbs.
It could have been a sea trout, salmon or maybe a bass as they all share the same sort of silhouette from that sort of distance. Whatever, it won't be the only one there to be fished for. Seals will take their toll of course but there's not much chance of them getting them all.
Best thing about this location is you will have it all to yourself.

For lures just fish the rough ground around where you live, You'll get them in Seaham. It's not worth starting yet, the sea is to cold for lures. Or just go to Torness.
For bait go to the beach, a nice little surf and 2 hook flappers or a running ledger with some lively little rag worm will work for schoolies Big bass don't get caught on worm too often. The crab will be peeling in numbers before too long so try crab over the coming weeks. Usually you don't need to cast far for a bass either.
