me & my m8 used 2 get sml strappy's in blyth harbour where the trawlers offload. even a sml strappy will take a macky flapper. i was speaking 2 a diver who dives the river 2 free ropes from the props ect from the trawlers when they r all snagged up & he was telling me it is unbelieveable the size of the congers & cod that r swimming around the trawlers in the river feeding on the fish, prawns & crab that gets chucked overboard.
wonder if shields fish quay would be worth a shot down the side,must be lots of food down there and plenty of cover
