Blyth pier saturday

[fish fingers]

Fished with my two sons grant and james there was a nice sea running beetween the three of us we had a total of 13 fish Grant got one just under 5lbs and then on his next cast got another one just over 2lbs making his total catch 6 fish all together plus the 5lber personal best for him so far The majority of the fish were taken on fresh yellow tails tiped off with a bit of mussel.

nice one were you fishing the sea side or the river, with the big seas was just wondering if you were holding bottom?

Cheers, there was a alot of fish about last night on the pier, fits & starts between them, everyone that I spoke to had between 4 & 6 fish all about this size.

 

[fish fingers]

Yes we were holding bottom and we were fishing on the seaward side but picking up plenty of weed, yes we had to hand ball it up well done gundog on your fish

Well done on the fish. Is it worth fishing here on the ebb or is it a flood tide venue?

used to fish this mark a lot yrs ago then it did fish good on the ebb not suprised its fishing at the moment very good shot but popular crowded .

 

[fish fingers]

i prefer it on the ebb but it is a venue where fish can turn up at any time this is my personal opinion have had a 20lb bag off blyth in past years fish up 2 7lb and seen lots of doubles its also a good venue where u can actually beach or use a drop net successfully with good results hope this helps.

Well done.was on pier myself ended night with 3 cod." 2 of them were caught on fresh sprats.Caught 7 fish in total some colies rest cod returned most.Great night but wind a bit chilly.

what a few of us did if undecided what to do was head for newbiggen about 4o min for you.

if realy big head for blyth west pier/if not big enough there then newbiggen you have the cliff tops but care to be taking a life was lost there last winter erroding cliffs or you have newbiggen bay /if not big enough for there then it would be lynburn beach.


or another option the beach between roker pier and old north pier can be very good at times ,a high water mark but i prefer the colder months here throws up some canny fish from time to time, tend to like the area in middle to near roker pier.
