  • Spoil ground

    I noticed on my plotter the spoil ground between the Tyne and Wear is highlighted on the map. I seem to recall that this was an area of the North Sea where colliery waste was dumped (plus other stuff I would think!! ) many years ago when we still had pits. Can anyone remember that far back ?

    My question is has the dumping of the waste created an area which holds any fish? Perhaps by creating artificial reefs?

    I like a bit rough ground fishing (ooh, er) but as a newbie don't have any marks as yet.

    Secret locations by pm please

    Ta!
    A bad day's fishing is better than a good day at work

    The spoil ground is where the dredgers dump the silt they dredge out of the river mouths, I've fished there once at anchor and managed a flounder
