Fishing around Seaham area

[jimlad]

I'm planning on giving this area ago over the next couple of months. I fished blast beach twice last year, and thought it was awe-inspiring...especially at night, with pounding waves echoing from the cliffs behind. Anyway, i was on my way back from Newcastle to Middlesbrough earlier and took a cheeky detour to check out chemical beach and noses point. They all look brilliant.

Can anyone give me a few hints on fishing the area - i.e. tide / wind direction / baits. There seems to be a fair depth relatively close in, so it may be that it produces on all states of tide, but your advice would be spot on. I noticed fishing blast beach that snags were a bit of an issue in places, but a quick move 20 yards or so until i found cleaner ground helped.

Was thinking of trying this weekend.

Cheers in advance

big high waters, fish from the tops

theres places where you can land big fish this way

the chems beach is a tackle grave yard ,best during or just after rough conditions , still the chance of cod or coalies but expect to lose gear .

Fished the Blast last weekend for first time , no snags and produced plenty of whities as soon as darkness came, all sizable fish for around an hour.
All took on rag tipped with macky after high tide.
