fishing from the car ?

[kensr27sz]

hendon prom dan do well esspecially ifa bit of swell is running. the wife has caught some good bass there.second bay from left good, bandstand and next bay good very good at times, right hand side good but cant realy be fished by car.seaham prom near the hall is good at times but go evenings so no one reports you for being on prom.or join seaham club may be able to get disabled badge prom pass which allows you to park on prom. no t a definate as limited supply..as the other lads have said glass centre under bridge on the other side or down by the fish quay,rathouse corner but you have to be lucky to park near by as it is a popular mark.

ill keep adding to this post for the benefit of others as were looking round the marks anyway

cambios wall is easy access both for the river and the sea but tends to be rough on the seaward side with heavy tackle losses

black middens or near enough at the sea end of the fish quay looked a good spot near the wave catcher thing we didnt try it as the tide was way out but will do at high tide

saint marys isnt bad either you can park near the causeway and fish either side once again a bit rocky unless you cast into the inlet on the left first carpark is ok as well on a high tide

ill keep em coming as i find em ,off to amble tommorow i think

hi bribones, dont know whats it likew now but the car park at the black middens next to fish quay used to fish realy well for plaice up to 2lbs 1up 1down hook rig 1/0 vikings using ragworm have a look at low water and see where the rocks are and cast as close to rocks as you can at high water,you need settled weatherno problems getting car nicked the only thing i,ve heard negative the lads have been putting tyres in for crab, never fishjed it for a while now interested myself in what it is like,used to be realy good, if you fish hendon prom take two big dogs with you which hav,nt been fed for a week if you get my meaning regards john

[bribones]

thats the place i mentioned above next to the wooden posts running out into the tyne ,seen a few tyres as it happens the place we parked youd be able to keep an eye on the car as thered be 2 of us fishing,i think ill give hendon a miss until i can afford the dogs either that or ill take wor lass and let her sit in the car all night

i think we found the right place tony behind the restaraunt ,it was well sign posted cheers for the map anyway

spilers is ok not many snags but pottery bank you can lose tackle every cast, bloke fishing did say therd been some 5lb plus cod up there

mill dam is ok for parking but reccomend no wind,it was blowing a gale there yesterday

We have 2 very large dogs that love going for rides in cars but won\'t let anyone get within 20ft of the car before they\'re trying to get out and rip them to shreds

Anyone want to borrow them for fishing at Hendon are quite welcome might take us a while to get them down to you though

Did a bit of security work at Hendon a few years back. Warned a few of the local yobs about throwing bricks at the building I was watching and when I went to my car after finishing my shift it was minus both number plates, both door mirrors, all wheeltrims and my ariel. The place makes Baghdad look like Darras Hall !. Take my advice and keep well away from it.
