Its been poor for years I think like. But fishing is all about getting out there and trying. Its hard going most of the time with little to no reward. I personally was a winter fisherman but lost the bug due to not catching nowt and standing hours on end in frezzing temperatures. I jyst like fishing fresh water now for carp wich is great only thing is you have to let the buggers
Go insted of having them for ya supper. : )

i can remember when you could fish north shields ferry landing on a sunday morn there was always a good run of spring codling fresh or frozen crab the bait.
some would say it was the best time of the year to fish.
never bothered with ferry landing myself but used to fish ice house and rubber plant and had good bags april may certainly gone down hill.

fished ice house a few weeks back first time for a while with frozen crab not a touch.

[Cod,cod,cod!]

Ice store/fish quay hasn't fished well for the last 2/3 years...

Had a few fish up and around Newbiggin last sat.. biggest was just over 2lb to fresh crab... First time out in a month or so.

Dont know what it used to be like back in the good old days but i'm sure if there was a decent blow and dying sea there would still be a few cod knocking about If people were willing to give it a go.

To be fair people are giving it ago and coming back with nowt thats wat this post is about. Its a hobbie at the end of the day pretty dam expensive one at that. If you catch its a bouns and the way fishing is and has been over last few year it really is a bouns to catch somthing. But hey beats sitting in the house

gave up winter fishing two years ago after 40 years due to the lack of decent fish, whats the use of fishing if there are no fish worth catching,just don't see the point, plus at 59 i'm getting to old to be arsed to be honest, still will be out this summer spinning and hoping for that big bass,
