Fished my favourite mark on a very wet and windy Roker yesterday for the whole of the flood using 2 rods and lug/fr crab cocktails for the grand total of 6 whiting
Never had a sniff from a codling. Bang goes another season me thinks, although looking through my records, I've had some good bags in the middle of April, so you never know.

I always blast straight onto the end, just habit I suppose. Is the barrier where you can fish into the back of the breakers?

It is Charlie. On a moderate tide the barrier is a good low water mark. On a big tide you'll have to move up a little as even the barrier can empty. You'll see when it does how good a mark it is. It's littered with kelpy ros, gulleys and sand. A good mixed ground for all sorts of fish but some big cod have been caught there. Personally I never really do well on the pier - prefer Whitburn rocks myself.
