Me and basswrasse2 (Sheldon) were going to fish roker pier
untill coddy said it was shut. so we decided to fish the cat and
dog steps there was a few lads on when we got down all they
had was a couple of coalys and a rockling. we fished from 6.30
till 10.00 i managed a coaly 34 cm and that was it bait used lug,
crab,razor,mussle and macky.
well i am back out tomorrow with the bairns down the glassy to
use the rest of the bait up.

roker shut out

went down their today to have alook and see if it was open. no, the bugger was shut, what for, the sea was flat as a f#rt. i looked at the shipping forecast on bbc's website and it reckons no more than the sea will be slight, which means as you all know, flat as a mill pond.
who is in control of this friday night ruining shambles.

i also looked down before heading to another mark just incase they opened it and it was closed at 5pm but nevermind i managed a codling at 2lb .15 so a start to the new year

i cant say ive ever seen owt caught between the piers but what else can you do. i would imagine the topic of closing roker pier is old ground well covered.

nice to hear mate, nice to hear.
what type of end rig had you been using at the cat and dogs, is it rotten bottom stuff and are you looking for a big cast to try and clear the rocks or is it just a lob.

 

[eddie t]

did'nt lose any gear all night. its hit and miss with the rocks there is sand patchers around the rocks. if you have not fished there before go down at low water and youwill see where the rocks are and where the sandy patchers are it changers all the time with the tide some days i can lose gear and some i dont.

cat and dogs = bit of a waste of time now over high water i'm affraid...live 100 yards away...can throw up the odd bass, but mainly coalies
