[bribones]

hi new to the forum,ive just took up shore fishing again after a few years off,my problem is the chap i go fishing with cant walk very far due to a disability,so im looking for decent spots to fish from,we tried cambios wall and a few spots up the tyne but no luck,somewhere with fish would be nice ,any suggestions ?

Sandsend Car Park near whitby can provide very good sport 2 hours either side of high tide - and you could fish from the car.

Might be too far south for you though.

sorry should have said sort of looking around south shields maybe up as far north as amble

Roker Pier, The Rat House, Opposite the Glass Centre on the Wear, Golden Lion, Catchy rock on the Wear, Fish Quay North Shields, I think the Seaham piers have good access if you\'re a SAC member. Seaham Hall beach, watch out for the Bizzies. I\'ll try to think of a few more, pm me or keep posting for details. There\'s a good few out there bri.

At least a couple of lads have been on the board in the past with similar requests for friends or themselves. Foxy rings a bell I don\'t know if anyone\'s still in touch with him? He may be able to help. I\'m sure the local clubs would give you info as well. Give Billy Brown from Billy\'s Tackle N. Shields a shout, I\'m sure he could put you onto some good info.

Hi bribones,

Have you tried the Mill Dam area at South Shields?
Litterally can be fished \"from the car\" and is quite a popular mark, especially for whiting, coalies, flounder and eels.

[mark]

you could of mention hendon wall as well Ell. Fishing form the car is compulsory there if you actually want to drive home afterwards...


actually its not that bad there really, just divvent wear a toon shirt, and make sure you ask for cheeesy chips in the chippy.

How Sparky, I can lob a Calor Gas bottle through yer ****ing Mainsail from here, watch yersell. Mark is your new ride the one with the Landrover sticker on the side?

Try marks around the Copthorne Hotel, newcastle or the proms along the business parks at Scotswood. All usually give up flounders etc as well as codling when conditions are right. Comfortable fishing with little walking.

Hi bri. just got to agree with Mark. Try Hendon wall it can ba a fantastic spot. High water only mind. Don\"t leave your keys in the ignition though as it might be gone lol.
