alan.....whitley bay pipe is a good mark and is very popular,it fishes along it\'s whole length,fishes day or night but i prefer night,obviously you can only fish the very end when the sea is flat for maybe an hour either side of low water,when the sea has a bit swell fish the bend,this is straight in front of you when you come down the steps in the middle of the prom,be carefull here as some steps are missing and it\'s very slippy,a very short lob ( even 10 yards ) is all you need most fish i have caught from here are that close in.............hope this helps
Hi Alan,the pipe is, from what I have found it, is a very hitty/missy sort of place, I fish there week in week out,I know it sounds daft, but if the fish are there you will catch them as Bob said if thers a swell on forget itthe best advice I can give is dond fish it if the low tide is above a 1.7 cos youll only get on, iff lucky for an hour or so between the tide, if its a good springer tide get on as soon as poss, If you walk from the lower prom ,,, just below the Rex hotel you will see what i mean down onto the begining of the pipe and walk along,,the bist times I have found are just as can get on for the first hour then it coes dead ,, then as the tide turns things start to liven up a bit,,, watch your backand the endof the pipe, you\'ll know when to get off. it almost tells you, loads of pout atnight time at about 20yds, Its almost sand all the way upto about 100yds I find the middle of the pipe is most productive the end is a little snaggy, agood retrieve speed is handy to get you through the kelp if your fishing the end, and above all if you are fishing in my place and i get there SHIFT ,, only messing.. first there first cast enjoy I do.. soz parking is no prob stick the car in the pubs car park the one thats shut down,, I have seen cars parked on the prom just behind the pipe but its a very steep and thin incline
Spot on, i was\'nt going to give you that little bit of info, but someone has given it,, so your best spot for me is just berore the bend ,chucking it about 65/80yds towards the lighthouse,, rag worm is the best, although lug & maccy strip come a close second,, you would think that a bait such as muscle would work ,, Itdont 4 me again squid never caught owt on it,,,
