alright billy , following the advice from the lads on the nesa forum (cheers lads) my first trips were down the tyne and with ragworm i caught codling coalfish whiting and flatty's all along the newcastle quayside 2hrs up to and over high tide . hope this helps you out, and good luck to you

If size doesn't matter, daft as it may sound (if it's allowed in the hunt) try the rockpools at lowtide down Seaton Sluice or between w/bay and tynemouth with some tiny hooks! Should be plenty of little blennies, gobies, butterfish, grannyfish etc.

Watch out for any weavers http://www.jerseyspearfishing.com/images/Weaver fish - St Ouens Aug 03.jpg

take a cloth with you to handle any suspicous looking fish.

What out for any weavers

One of Rick Steins prog's he was in France I think, was commenting on how weavers are just chucked by us and yet over there they're a popular food fish.

I heard the french eat peeler crabs too

danes eat weavers aswell, BBQ grill them with the skin still on. never tried it myself, and never caught one
