Rat house or pier all night fishing

That Ratty's never fished well for me, and when av been there only ever seen 1 decent fish pulled in..... Would rather eat the Rag in a sandwich then waste it down there.......
 
the pier hasnt fished well either last few days only whiting jumping on the hooks at the moment.... the odd codling closer in the rough stuff
 
Infact I would go more inland for some estuary action - get ya hook down to size 1 or 2s, load the rag and strap in for flattie action, wishbone, or 1 up 1 down. I have sometimes fished at quay west business park near the sherwood garage, atleast you will see ya rod nod.
 
how does 6lb 2oz grab ya, caught tuesday night, nice fish as well, caught on a size 1, 2 hook flapper

Exactly mate, thered plenty fish around at the minute, maybe not in quality but in quantity.

Theres been a few decent fish around that area recently. A few years ago my good mate 'waco' lost probably the biggest cod ever seen/caught there, unfortunately I wasn't there to see it but many people did before the fish was lost, words couldn't describe how big it was, but from what i hear everyone who did see it expressed its size by stretching there arms as far apart as they could, and these where genuine anglers, including 'rod-the-cod', another member on here.

Just goes to show you should never mock a fishing mark, as one day that mark could throw up a fish of a lifetime, and you may have not been there to catch it as you think the marks dud.....

Am a right Jim mate or am a right. :)

Just saying there are better locations out there and not too far from where he was planning- personally am boycotting the wear, even though i abhor myself for saying it, I have had much better fishing sport / fish caught on the tyne estuary area / hebburn / jarrow / mill dam....
