River Tyne South Shields Brighams 27/09/2011

I decided to blow the cobwebs off my bait rod and give Brighams a shot last night fishing from the Spirit of South Shields 9pm to 12.30am. A nice clear night with no wind and flat calm water. Lot's of small knocks from the off and after about half an hour landed a small whiting - just under size so chucked back. The knocks continued and I pulled in half a dozen crabs before coming to the conclusion that it was the crabs doing the knocking No more fish were caught but the crabs kept me on my toes and stopped me getting bored. I saw a shooting star too - it went directly over head then burnt out in a shower of red sparks towards the north. So no fish to take home but I did catch some old gear from the bottom and scored for a sinker and a few beads. A pleasant evening all the same.

Don't spoil it for him you can't make a wish on a shooting meteor it just doesnt sound right. I wish to catch a big fish..I wish to catch a big fish (is that how it went after you saw it)lol

A meteor! Cool ! Wonder where it fell. If anyone on here lives in Northumberland and has a new hole in their roof ....

 

[big dave]

I find the spirit a bit hit and miss tbh it's a funny spot, at least ya didn't blank and had a bit entertainment watching the stars.

Well done buddy, sounds a decent night, i noticed alot of shooting stars when a was fishing the pier on monday night, didn't bring me much luck like but saved me a blank anyhow, plenty small and sized whiting .


P.S. matey, the mark u where on is called the angel, brighams, or as i know it 'cogers comer', is the next point that sticks out further doon.

It's called The Spirit of South Shields mate, and the 2 screws at the base are where the town hall has been knicked lol.

Ano its called that mate, but I and many, many other people just call it the angel as its shorter, and it kinda looks like one too.

 

[Thunderpants]

Aye I have heard it called both but went for the official ST council option this time

Yeah Pete I have had mixed results there too - lots of blanks but also some good sessions 15+ fish so it's always worth a shot and a nice place to chill out.

Good you saw meteors too Andy , maybe there is one of those meteor shower things going on.
Codgers Corner LOL.

Do all angels have there nips oot.

Aye it's a lovely spot whatever we choose to call it, even better when you don't want to loose any gear, barring the odd hook in a greedy flounders belly that you need to lose.
