Hey guys I'm planning on fishing middleton pier at Hartlepool tomorrow. I'm just wondering if the gates are locked to get onto the pier? Whats it been fishing like etc... and is north east tackle supplies open on a wedenesday and do they have any lugworm at the moment? sorry for the questions guys I live 30 miles away from the sea so don't want to be disappointed if I get there and cant get any bait/ cant fish the pier. any info if appreciated thanks.
