Today i had a drive to sandy bay, i have never fished any areas north of the tyne but fancy hiring a caravan for a week and fishing the beaches up beside sandy bay.

Tide was well out and nobody was fishing, i did not go up today to fish only to have a look.

any advice on where is the best place to fish and where is the nearest tackle shop where i can get some fresh bait.

Anyone got a caravan up there who hires it out.

Thanks
 
There are tackle shops in both Blyth and Newbiggin Danny, neither are too far from Sandy Bay as long as you have a car mate.

danny you not tryed lynnemouth beach its near there,next to sandy bay .i have not fished but you get cod bass flaties also. theres loads of places you can try like becons behind golf course for cod flatties coalies etc.look for woodhorn on your map:cool:
 
Sandy Bay - mouth you'll hit the odd school bass and flatties, bay itself you'll find flatties, lots of crabs and blennies/eels. It's a lovely quiet spot to fish, best on a morning or dusk tide, about 1.5 hrs each side depending on the tidal height. I fish the south side next to the boat huts with 2 rods - one out to the middle of the bay and one parallel, uptide, to the harbour wall.
Rag and fish strip, usually mackeral, produce. You can fish the bay with just light gear, I use spinning rods with 2oz sinkers and 2 hooks per rod, but be very aware that the narrow tidal path in/out has a VERY strong current, it's also littered with rocks so snaggy.
