I used to get loads back in early 1990's before the kids were born travelled all over the country even down to dungeness & around sw Scotland then about 1995 it seemed to go quiet until 2000 I gave up & started freshwater fishing
Still was gobsmacked with the occasional pollock on the fly rod!
& always fancied a return to sea fishing tried it 5 years ago & couldn't believe how poor it was. Started again in January & to be honest done very well for the times I've been! But the way I look at it now is.......this is my hobby & what I want to do in my spare time if I get a fish that's a bonus.
& when it drops off in the n.east there's some beautiful scenery all over the west coast with some species to catch that make you realise it's not all about catching fish

Originally posted by paulthespark View Postgave 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,
Have you caught smoothhound or tope from the shore? My first & last hound was a long while ago but the memories are still fresh as ever & if I had the choice of 1 decent double figure smoothie or tope vs a winters cod season with plenty of fish, I'd say bye to the cod!
Get yourself to different places & target different species it's unreal, even 3hours drive to Eyemouth, or 3hours to kirkudbright
If better still a week down in Devon / Cornwall

Originally posted by john/r View Posti 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.
never go the chance to try my self as the following year a bigger and more secure fence ws put up that stopped the fishin because of the mess anglers left behind
ps this is not an excuse to start a mess war just to let people why people not fish ferry landing any more
