Newbiggin on Thursday....

Hey,

I'm planning making my return to fishing on Thursday as the high tide seems decent timing for after I finish work.

Not fished in over ten years so not expecting much, but planned on Newbiggin bay down the steps from beach terrace as its a nice and easy spot and saw a lad last week pull a decent codling from there in the afternoon.

Any tips for bait, rigs etc for that spot?

Cheers.

Fantastic forum by the way!
 
The person just asked for advice, not for a secret mark or a secret bait or a secret tactic, just pure advice. The fact that it's a few days before an open shouldn't make any difference whatsoever. There are people who will be willing to offer good advice on this forum, not all anglers are defensive about marks.

You can fish basically anywhere along the beach. most productive spots are between the right steps at beach terrace along to the steps down from where Windsor school used to be. any further to the right and you will be chucking onto the west end rocks
not sure if there wuill be enough movement on as it does fish better with a decent biit sea running.
northerly or south eastery will do the trick.
the beach is steep so no need for fancy rigs or distance, bait wise you cant go worng with fresh lug, mussel and crab. they arent usually that fussy.

just for the record I will be fishing the comp but as the lad is asking about high water cant see why it will make any difference for the open:confused:
 
wellcome.

wellcome.

.give davidhayely 1945,g-force,or broonshoe,a pm,im sure there will give you good advice.ps,wellcome to site.:)
 
Thanks for the advice Richie....as Kelpykid said I'm just wanting general advice and to get back into it. I'll be jobless at the end of the month so want to start fishing again instead of being in the house all day!

I'll make sure I leave a few in for Phil ;)

And if anyone needs a gardener let me know!
 
there's a comp on most months / weekends from now onwards, think some of you are a bit too suspicious lol

Cracking beach in the right conditions - had my best sessions there the last couple of years.

As already said, come down onto the south end of the prom. It fishes anywhere between the skeers on the south side up to a good hundred of metres along. I like it just to the right of where the beach shallows out, about 100 yards or so left of the ramp down onto the prom.

I've caught fish close in and blasted out there - best I've had have been on blueys late in the season but so far this season on crab and worm cocktails. Sea needs to be running though and you can get some problems with weed. Its the only place I've had to cut line as I couldn't move the weed monster.
 
Ended up not going last night so just been this evening for a few hours....started near to the rocks opposite the steps and lost 2 rigs after each other with the weed!

Moved up the beach a bit and was clearer and didn't lose any more gear. Just got a little flattie and returned it but was great to be back fishing again. Was a canny few lads out and don't think they had anything either, apart from another undersized flattie.

Ran out of bait or I would have still been there now. Forgot how much I've missed it!

Cheers for all the advice, I'll definitely be back there again.
 
Wow this is one of the reasons I have been a member of here for years but don't post very often, a few tools on here giving smarmy replies to lads asking for help...one thing that I do notice is the lads that are top rods and do catch regularly normaly dish out plenty advice...should we all not be trying to help each other to catch fish and have fun?:confused:
