nice 1 nick mate, i was going to go fishing again tonight but left it till tomorrow now think il be on the pier tomorrow night for a few hours, is that the fish quay opposite the walkway where u were? had a few fish down the walkway last night aswell few under sized colies and few undersized codling got 1 codling to take home about 1.1/2 lb. just need to get out tomorrow to use all the left over bait up
 
Hi shaun, yeah i was using frozen crab and runnydown, ah had more fish on the crab wrapped with runnydown than with crab by its self though ;)
 
not much room left there now, was down there last night dumping fish bits, got some mackerels off Mr Skinner.

You sure like your mackeral alan, aye there's not much space now but it was a pleasant night out apart from the inevitable lost tackle, it can be quite rough infront of there lol. Any idea when the work will be finished on quay ?

yep like the odd mackerel or six, not heard a thing about how long thw works will be, by the looks it could be a long time, but there again it might just be 4-5 weeks.
 
Met a bloke down sandend car park last week who told me the fish quay was a good spot. Can you actually fish there or is it closed off I was planning going on tuesday possibly don't want a wasted trip.

Cheers

there's just a little bit of space behind the blue cosalt building, well enough for 3 or 4 people to fish comfortably but it can be snaggy on bigger tides ;)
 
Cheers mate I might be better off the the other side of the river then, on the walkway any idea hows its fishing, I cant make me mind up where to bloody go, I know its down to be pretty rough tuesday but I've got the day off and I dont want to waste it, was gonna go the lynemouth but I dont know if it will be fishable.
 
To be honest mate there's loads of fish in the river and reports on here say the walkways been fishin great. Am not sure what the weathers going to be like so ah cant really say whether lynemouth will be worth a try, crab or lugs been taken the fish in the river bud, good luck which ever you choose :)
 
alright mate just seen a post about the walk way on the catch reports sounds good, tuesday is supposed to be force 6 east to south easterlies 10ft sea, mind you weather forecasts are rarely that accurate might just drive up and see, can alway drop back on the walkway, it's a bit of a trek from darlington but I like a day out when i get the time. If I have to fish the walkway, I here it's pretty snaggy, so would rotten bottom pulley rigs be right and breakout leads, do you need a decent chuck or doesn't it matter.

Cheers for the help mate much appreciated;)
 
quite big tides on tue

Tue 7 Sep
HW LW HW LW
02:44 09:24 15:19 21:39
5.0 m 0.6 m 5.1 m 0.9 m


so if you do fish river there will be a good current pulling your line up or down river and pulling your tackle into snags...
 
Its quite snaggy close in but about 80/100yds clears them. In big tides it can be snaggier though and watch for the bouys and jettys as well in a bit of tide mate.
