Summer in Whitley Bay

[Thunderpants]

The Himalaya is very close to the access point to Whitley Pipe so you could have a mackerel session over low water then go for a curry afterwards

That sounds like a plan!

Blyth pier nearest but be warned it'll be heaving then, right at the peak of the chav season, they'll be spinners, feathers daylights and all sorts flying everywhere, cans and bottles together with all the other ***** lying all over the place, f'n and blinding like no where else on earth. SSP best bet, doesn't get overrun with them to much and excellent macky venue plus will hoy some big plaice out to worm.

Am anti litter ask john findley or craig and a see plenty anglers on a weekly basiss yarking litter in the sea on many occasions av told a few what to do as well and the anglers who **** all over the round head on tynemouth pier so you fishing with the smell of **** and ****e take a bag or **** over the side and its not the chavs either

Thank for the ideas folks, greatly appreciated. We are definitely going to the Whitley Bay park, as you can get 11 days for £186 through the Daily Mail deals, we are Scots after all!

We have been to busy parks and we keep pretty much to ourselves, are out most of the time and don't use the onsite bars or dining, so it doesn't bother us to be honest.

We will definitely try Warkworth pier, we have been to Warkworth before but didn't realise it had a pier, so thanks for that. Also the ice cream sounds great! Perhaps we may see you on a pier or a beach when we are down?

Just give me a pm mark when nearer the time or I can pm you my number and I will gladly wet a line and drown a few worms with you ;-);-) . Forgot to mention also you can take your beachcasters on the pier as well for the chance of flounder and dab !

Good crack mate.

Anyone remember the appolo night club bar at Berwick holiday centre?

Used to be a canny park until it was overrun by "noisy ppl"

Then started going to scoutscroft but it spread there. Ha

Thanks for all your advice guys!

Scoutscroft was a popular campsite for geordies. Used to have a couple of trips a year camping there. Unfortunately they don't allow tents now-probably due to the noise and trouble that was caused. With its close proximity to St Abbs it was a popular choice for divers to stay at.

Hi Mark, Although Blyth pier does get very busy for the mackerel, most of what has been said happens on the end of the pier, so if you fish over high water, you can fish in relative "peace" as the pier is about 300mtrs long, and on an evening, mackerel are taken along it's length.
The ice cream at Deleval is the best I have ever tasted, (vanilla) and have been a customer there since the 60's.
The area's around Whitley bay to fish for summer cod, Pollock, etc, are heavy weed shots, so 40lb line straight through to a 5-6oz weight and single hook is advised with peeler crab best option.
Pleased for the good news for you both, so have a good season and best of luck.
