3 times my m8 and I have fished seaham pier with two bites in total but have seen 3 porpoise at 300yds all3 times . Is it possible they could be frightening the fish away. Baits blacks yellowtails squid Mackie and fresh lug. Tried short and mid distance plus long shots from peg 32 to 48 and nothing so is anybody catching anything anywhere else.

Fished it Thursday night 4.30 till 10. Porpoises about no bites. When it got dark whiting came on 2 a cast got about 15 or more was, nt counting. My 2 mates also got their share and 3 dogfish. Also a seal came up the steps and lay on the pier for at least 4 hrs. While it, s on the pier it can, t catch fish
So I guess you must have been fishing in daylight as plenty of fish on the pegs you used.So get back down in the dark. Ps only used frozen blacks and mackerel
