Hendon prom even 
Aye I've fished it a couple of times, best fished hour or two up and hour or two down. most of the lads head straight for the end what's generally referred to as 'The Falls' near where the ramp goes down onto beach. been a few canny fish pulled in along there.
1st, 2nd and 3rd bays are also a worth while shot at times I keep being told this anywhere has the possibility of producing really. just watch yourself down there a couple of lives lost down there recently. just don't take any daft risks.
I'm hardly an expert on the venue, I've just fished it a couple of times.

sunderland or the borough?
if sunderland this is bay 1
this is 2 and 3
these taken last year this time , last time i was there at low water (night one of our members was almost washed off a few weeks ago , there was much more rock exposed in 2 and 3
even the clearer bays were showing a lot of rock where its normally just sand
places to aim for are the kelp visible below low water mark ,some nice codling from there at times

yep thats "all the fun of the prom "
last winter i cast out , popped my rod in the rest and climbed into the back of my van to make coffee , wave came over and i had 7 or 8 seconds of water falling on the van , this was the south end and i was parked away from wall at back side , if i was at north bays and been outside i would have been gone

if i fish any of the bays upto the banstand and its too bad i will fish up onto the carpark bit with the stand atleast you have time to get out the way if a wave comes up but on the bottom part the wave will carry you along the prom beware where ever you fish along there on a big sea
a quiet day at hendon yesterday
just an idea of what can happen , just south of the bandstand just before high water , with a northerly it can be soooooooooo much worse that it is really dangerous
waves were braking against the back wall behind my rod stand in the pic but in
front / on the front of my van after coming over the ramp on the bandstand
+ not a fish to be seen
ps wonkey stanchion seen in first pic is the "first of the many" plastic stanchions that i think will break over the winter and they are about 4 feet high so hendon is no longer wheel chair friendly for sure
