looks a lovely place to fish where abouts is it? the near cliff hasnt half changed abit over the years

 

[sless]

it is called target rock it is next to trow rock(with the gun on top)
and the rock in the far back ground is the north arm
in south shields

 

[MikeR]

Have they blown it up or did it collapse?

 

[SIXFOOTSTEVE]

Can you fish the bottom of the cliffs at low water Sless or is it just a high water mark?

 

[sless]

they used a big mechanical pick to knock it down
ive got the photo\'s somewhere
there are a few people fish on the top still
bit scary like
but the far side is where harry lincoln won the last shields open from

Start at high water Steve and when it slips it\'ll be low water without even thinking about it. Still you\'ll have a canny climb that you weren\'t expecting.

nice pics graham can almost smell the seaweed on the rocks!

 

[craigyboy]

[peter.m]

Do you have to climb over a fence to get to this rock? I had a walk up there on Wednesday and walk past trowel rocks to the next bay (saw a sign which says there might be chemical waste lying about?? Will that effect all fish around there). Is it the bay after that (I saw a fence from the end of that bay). Although I\'ve only lived around South Shields for about ALL of my life I still don\'t know the names of the places. Any help will do. Cheers folks.

Sport\'s Mixture doesn\'t taste as nice these days, it tastes a bit like them horrible sickly wine gums. Always used to take a pack fishing wth me.

 

[sless]

you cant mention contaminated waste
people have been known to be sacked for talking about it
yes there is asbestos around there
also a few other things
but they are burried so no need to panic
so our glorious council tell us

\"burried\" ??????........well......most of it is (for now) :exclam: ......lol
