I too fished blyth pier from approx 12.30 pm until 3.00pm. conditions perfect ( but with the build up only about a day old) with everybody I spoke to saying there was nothing happening, I had intended staying longer to fish bottom water, but the cold beat me ( I just couldnt even face baiting up again my fingers were in so much pain..it must be an age thing...lol.) and just as I was packing up a lad caught a two and a half pounder on the bend, so it may of just started fishing??...I didnt hang about to find out.... then got back to the car park and felt as warm as toast.
