Fishing Longhoughton

[johnf]

Planning a trip up the coast this weekend and love fishing Longhoughton. I'm planning on starting on the beach at high water & moving onto the left hand skeer as the tide drops. Can anyone fish this place regularly tell me if I'm doing it right ? (Is the steel the right hand skeer?).

Many thanks

Longhouton steel are the group of rocks to the south of sugar sands. There should be a pipe running into the sea here. Anywheres worth a shot at the moment. No one can predict where the fish are going to be unless u can talk to them some how!
Just looked on that map. Its to the south of that bay, Sugar sands to the North. Hope that helps.

Cheers. I always fish the bay central to the map and head off to the left hand skeer. I'll give the real place a go on Friday.

Was down yesterday with the kids, and there was but a few gentle waves. You can fish the skeers either side of the Howdiemont (first bay). Only really fishes when there is a good sea running, but then it's prone to kelping up when that happens. **** pipe is worth a chuck as the odd fish shows up in there. Like every where these days though, it's hitty missy.

Thanks Red, forgot it was your neck of the woods. I was up last year & we saw some lights on the sugar sands skeer (i think), they looked a long way out on the skeer compared to the first bay. It's a lovelly part of the world, don't even mind blanking

one of my fav spots. not much happening up there at the mo. infact fished a hell of alot this year up there and only the odd fish to show. the rocks inbetween sugar sands and howdimen under 1 meter tides you can wade across on to a small flat island that appears and fish anywhere off here, its kelp city with some nice deep holes. ive found it fishes better after a southerly blow and crab takes the majority, fresh or frozen.

Aye it's rougher than you think, and there a re a shed load of edibles around there that like to take your bait under the rocks. It fishes best when there i s a good sea running, and depending on the size of the tide, best to be down when the tide is about a a quarter of the way out. it'll fish best until it's about 3/4 out and then it always goes quiet. Like wise during the flood, 1st quarter quiet, and then it'll pick up until about 3/4 in.
Like Mark.ttr sez tho, been poor the past few years, and when the sea is up your more likely to get a shed load of kelp than a fish.
