Hi leroy i fished at lobster wells which is the next set of skeers south of church point. i fished there in the whitley bay open, i had a cod 2 1/2lb first cast i then had one on about 5 lb to my feet i could actually see the fish and it came of, the best bait to use in that area is crab mussel and lug all bound onto the hook in a ball.
good luck BIGMAN.
