And as soon as Friday evening comes around WHOOSH
It looks like we will be having another week end on the trail of the Flat variety of the North East`s Species......;)
I`m not complaining as it is fast becoming one of my favourite past times when the weather dont let you go far.
And if by any chance the weather changes then we will be after them boring big ling and big cod :D
So Yabba Dabba Doo in the right Plaice at the right time and the jobs a goodun :p
 
Bert,
About five years ago I went out of royal quays nearly as often as you do on a firnds boat.

In all honesty we went out in any conditions...if we could get out of the harbour we fished.

This lead to us being out when it was far too rough for comfortable fishing so we often went immediate left or right and sheltered behind the piers and got some cracking flattie bags, and boy do they taste nice. I would point out that the boat we were on was an ocean going sports cruiser with 400+hp so capable of getting out in conditions that our stomachs could not cope with in retrospect.

We also fished a massive wreck just 1/2 due south of the piers which I can not remember the name and had some good fish when going any further was no an option.

I live by the policy that my worst days fishing is better than my best day at work...so if I can get out I will fish anywhere cos its better than watching Eastenders.

Cheers
Dave
 
Its bugging me now what the name of the wreck was.

Since its peeing down again I am not going out to the boat to get the name from me GPS.

It was a large liner beached at south shields after a mine hit in the war. It was too dangerous to tow it up the tyne so they beached her on sshields beach with a view to repairs . another ship ran into her on the beach and t boned her and they both sank.

Their loss...our gain.

Cheers
Dave

you missed out the crystal (the bairns' current favourite ;) ) snowdrop, jolly girls, the ethel, hekla, greenwood, hortense, rio colarado and the Oslofjord as well (plus a few I'm still working on naming!)
 
Its quite probably the Oslofjord and the Chandriss as they lye across each other.

I've dived it a few times and got some cuttlery and pom pom shells from them, bloody unnerving when they explode on you as your coming up.

Beautiful chequered tiled floor still on one of them.
 
Oslofjord...Thats the one.

Makes quite an intresting google for information on how it actually ended up there.

Cheers
Dave

didnt go that far afield

Dave got quite a few named e mail me GPS co ordinates of the ones you want and i will see if i can fill in some spaces for you
 
a lot war wrecks, mainly boats but some are planes and submarines, some are fishing boats, yachts etc that have gone down, one the Briar is one that i used to go out on fishing. Some are quite big cargo ships but others are small fishing cobles
 
some are huge, or rather were huge when they went down, the oslo was an 18000 ton liner, hit a mine in 1940, the Eugenia Chandris was 5317 tons and ran into the wreck of the oslo and went down on top of her. the rio colarado was 3500 tons, the crystal 2600tons. most of em were were war casualties, german mines or torpedoes, there's still a few german submarines lying around, one still has live torpedoes in it and is sat right beteen the piers in sunderland!

more wrecks off this bit of the coast than anywhere else in the uk, according to UKHO there's an average of 44 wrecks per mile of coast between hartlepool and the tyne
 
many might be suprised to know that a sonic survey in 2001 found 41 wrecks, within the Tyne estauary many of the ancient wrecks are supposed to be full of treasure and well burried and there is no way they could be dug up because of their location.
 
"you missed out the crystal, snowdrop, jolly girls, the ethel, hekla, greenwood, rio colarado ......................!!!!!

These are producing very well at the moment :D all within a mile of the piers .....location "X":p
Fresh crab bait is a killer this time of the year if you can get it !
The coddling fight like Bull dogs in such shallow water :thumbup:
but that would be telling:cool:
