South Shields & District SAC Open 2013

Cheers lads, I was thinking it was tickets and you got allocated an area to fish, lol.

So I guess its a mad rush to get to the "favoured" spots before start times?

[jamiebrennan]

Usually the best marks are busy from at least a couple of hours before start time. Its not uncommon for people to camp out overnight to get the best spots. I have been known to be on a mark from 7am with an 11am comp start time...and didnt weigh in!

[garyp]

Thanks, I'm just getting me head round how it all works.

Im guessing only one rod is allowed per angler?

[jamiebrennan]

Just the one rod mate, you can take more but must not have a line running through the rings, this is worded as "a running line" in rule books. No more than 2 hooks usually on rigs too.

[Brashy]

Been 3 year since iv fished it il be doing it this year though. Looking forward to it

[waco]

Not having fished a comp before, just a question, but can you just fish wherever within the boundaries?
so first come first served etc?

be careful in the river there is a few mark you not allowed to fish i belive they have to be public accesible groyne ,walkway, call centre, brigamms, mill dam, jarrow prk ,police launch,hebburn, church bank and hebburn marina are the only marks i believe places like middle dockoiljetty and the likes are not allowed think i have it right if not i am sure some else will clarify

The original post has been edited Bob. The allowed locations on the Tyne have been added.

What time do port of Tyne open the pier

[jamiebrennan]

not sure mate but the sea has lifted so it might not be open at all, it was coming over at the blocks at 3pm.

[chrome21]

good luck and stay safe to all thats fishing it

[garyp]

Good luck those braving this wind today.

Can't see it being comfortable in many spots unless it dies down a bit.

Marsden bay should give some shelter behind the cliffs
