another good shot at hartley is called the broken leg , by some , cos if your not careful you will get a broken leg on the way to it , you can fish this mark all the way through a very small high tide , for to get to it , go down the big steps and go straight north with the clifff edges on your left side , you will go around another cliff overhang and the mark is about 30 yds north of here , the best way i can describe this mark is its like fishing in a big rock pool but really deep in the middle,great care must be taken when getting there , if you havent been there before go in daylight for to get used to the mark and how to get there , i have seen doubles dragged out of there and know it fishes well. be carufull of the rocks as they are very slippy, a word of caution though if you do fish this mark please make sure that it is a small tide as you will get cut off with no means of escape.

Thanks for your knowledge.
I used to get some good peeler eater crab out of this pool over low water in the summer, before it was banned, never considered fishing it though as always concerned about getting cut off. Will have to give it a go. How safe is it in big northerly seas......

Do you fancy trying the Chapmans mark in a large northerly, to see how you get on........Only joking, you will probably end up on blyth beach

Great to share marks and info ,but just a word to the wise for the less experienced among us , take care when moving at all ,feel with ya feet and travel light if you can.Always best to fish a new spot with someone who knows the craic...normally found on here .

On the topic of safety. If your fishing from Hartley Island, you can wade on depending on tides and conditions and fish the ebb for longer than you can on the flood. In other words if your on the island for 2 hours before low water, don\'t expect to get 2 hours of the flood on the island......

hi lads, im new 2 this site but here it goes-
brocken leg can b fished on a big northerly but it pays u 2 chuck from the back of hartley skeer rather than walking around under the cliffs. i have lost a few good fish here & have had a few.
the bocken leg has even fished when it has been flat calm, 1 m8 of mine had 2_ 7lber\'s out of there the same night when it was flat. another m8t of mine had 1- 12.5 lb on a big N/WLY. i had 1- 8lb-1oz in the summer gone. its a cracking mark when u hit it right.
