Mussell

[Jimbob]

Had some good success on fresh mussell this year.

Any ideas of a regular source of supply from the wearside are - either low water collection or purchase?

Cheers people.

Bottom of the slipway at sunderland marina is ok at very low tides...and you dont get muddy feet as they are in the holes in the concrete.

Plenty to be had in the rocks too.

if ya gonna try under the bridge i suggest ya need a good size tide the big ones are just hanging before it drops off into the river ,erm leave me some cos its been raped alot since last year i got some,if not try just from there infront of the warf the wooden jetties about 100 yards towards glassy theres loads hanging on the legs ,and be carefull

I get mine from Jackie whites market in the bridges. Cheap as chips and a really good size. Had plenty fish on them too.

Really good underated bait for cod/codling some like it fresh some like it smelly caught fish on both smelly and fresh. Go to sandpoint on a big tide or even better a spring tide because its been canny hammered over the years so the bigger mussels seem to be right at the low water line. Also wearmouth bridge can be canny for mussel, and the glass centre. Some lads swear by having it in there bait bucket, good bait and very easy to collect and not a problem to shell easy as out when you get use to it.
