Advice on marks required - NE England/ SE Scotland

Cheers redtop I will pop in.

I am not sure about Berwick pier Thunderpants. See people fish off it for mackerel in summer but there are, in my experience anyway, very few shore people shore fishing around here. Read another thread about it on here a while back, mixed opinions all in all as I remember.

Does having a big river like the Tweed flowing fresh water into the sea have a detrimental effect on fishing? Salt/ fresh ratio put fish off for example. Don’t know what its like around Tyne so any thoughts appreciated

Typo - very few people shore fishing around here

I wouldn't think the fresh water would have that much effect as the fresh water lies on top of the salt water. I've never notice it have any effect on Roker at all, and sometimes you can see the set from the fresh water over half a mile out.

Thanks Davy, I wasn't sure what if any effect the fresh water had so thanks for that

Unfortuneatley Seahouses south pier is now shut to all members of the public with a fixed fence at the base near the old powder house. The sign has some waffle about dangerous tides?! You can still climb onto it though but the harbour master will probably say something. The rocks behind are a good shot on a midling tide. find the first half of the flood in darkness best. obviously a northerly or easterly swell helps. Thinking of giving some shots a go up Berwick way this weekend and the start of next week as I am staying up at seahouses. Always fancied Berwick pier end casting North so determined to try it. like you said you said ive never seen an angler north of seahouses and always had places to myself!!

[berwick]

If you do see one Holl its probably me! Can you let me know how you get on. Yeah I think North will be best bet off the pier end. Thanks for info on Seahouses

This is Berwick pier at low tide. Few worm to be had so no reason for no fish.

I haven't spent much time behind the pier if im honest Dave as I live the other side of the Tweed but thank you for that. Had a PM from another member saying he is digging for worm behing the pier today so must be a few about. When I was young there used to be loads on Spittal beach plus Razor etc. All seem to have disappeared from that area now.

I will be giving the pier a shot one night next week. Nice and easy for a night time lone outing

To be honest berwick pier isnt a gd mark had odd fish when the conditions have been perfect but waste of time fishing it really

[berwick]

Thanks for that fillet. I was thinking about fishing it off the back (North) side and with the wind blowing like it is its going to be a big swell. Have you fished it much?

Do you know of any good marks around here?

I will try the rocks as Dave suggested and maybe a few trips to Scremeston beach in coming week
