There's some big tides on the way too which should help get to the little-dug spots.

Drive into Blyth industrial estate the second entrance just past kfc where the car valeting place is , straight down past aps (on the left) and park along the verge near the river just around the bend at the bottom of the road , i dig along the edges as theres bigger rag to get but is very hard going as its full of rocks and rubble but theres some monsters there , for the smaller rag walk along the edge towards Bedlington way you,ll see a pipe with a post at the end , to the right of here theres mud flats which is easy digging ( the areas littered with cockle shells ), would recommend you go with some one if your digging the mud as it can be sticky , usually get enough for a days fishing in an hour when im by my self

i dig a few marks in blyth river i just live 2 minutes away. would'nt take ya kids down on the mud m8 as has been said above very dangerous as u can sink in the sleck in some places i've seen quite a few wellies & thigh waders left stuck in the sleck. keep inamong the rocks as also said heavy work but big rag & alot safer.
yh it is dangerous i nearly lost me wellies in scotland digging for worm, had to jump out wellies just in socks pulling them out and just managed to not get stuck in with me socks on
