Another go

[Geodark]

The mornings aren't any better mate on the piers.... I was down yesterday ay 06:30am and there were 12/15 lads fishing already. SSP has been fishing well right the way along though... most lads are going straight to the end but I have seen fish from the brigade hut (start of pier) right through too the end.... worth a shot still.

I take it Roker will be just the same on a morning then? Might give Roker a try first, then head back up to Shields on the way home. Knowing my luck I will end up in the water as I try to get round the gate!

Its shocking isnt it, my 9 year old son is dying to go but there is no way i would take him down there with 6 ounce sinkers getting flung about with streams of daylights, Would love to find somewhere to take him spinning that isnt chokka and has a good chance of mackerel, i took a drive to frenchmans point the other day hoping that would be empty, but even that had a good few people on it!!!!

Try taking him just past the brigade hut on ssp , there is a fairly safe ledge to stand on and not over crowded with plonkers

Is that casting into the harbour thing or into the sea then?
