Talking to a lad at Sandsend last monday night he told me drive down the road between the golf course where the sign says no vehicular access
open the gate and your at the slipway
I haven't been before is the info correct and what's the fishing like
thought I might have a run down weekend after next

then its perfect for u u can sit in the car if the weather is cold or wet u can fish couple hours up and down bass flatties whiitties billet and some times odd codling can turn up most of it is clean ground but there is patches ov mixed u dont lose much gear not the best place if there is a good sea running can come right over the road

Just looked at google maps and there appears to be a post in the road at the entrance, can you get the car through ok

Easy to get the car down loads of room just have to go slow as there always seems to be people walking dogs down there and the road is a bit ruff at the top, nice place to fish have fished there loads of times, i always fish the first set of rails about 16 posts in casting a nice steady lob straight out normaly puts you in between two bits of ruff ground, watch out if you dont get there before the top of the tide as there are some of the big blocks bin broken away from the sea front and have formed one hell of a snag half way down the beach need a few more storms to bury them.(you wont be able to see them if the tide is right in) Hope this helps and tight lines

Thanks for in info Steve

I have fished there a few bit in Summer when it's usually lifting with Dabs and Flounder. Best advice I could give would be to walk it at low tide and get a feel for where the features and gulleys are. A month ago I found a gulley that was maybe 2 feet deeper than the surrounding sand. I paced it out to the wall and counted the railings as SteveG suggested.

I added a low tide picture of the beach from last year for info and a close up of one of the rough patches. Its worth knowing where they are I think.

Hope this helps.

Crackin advice from magpies that if you can get down early it realy pays off as with anywhere i suppose, if its not fishing tho its easy to move to opposite the pub a sands end another crackin easy access mark
