Welcome to NESA mate

Where you planning on fishing from?

Any of the piers at this time of year will be showing mackerel, South Shields is showing nice Pollack...not heard too much from the Mackems so can't comment

I'd get yourself a few float kits it you fancy a change mate, set it up with a small hook on the bottom and 1 rag worm, lob it close in to the sides or rocks for Wrasse or a bit futer out for Pollock and coaly. i find it much more productive than spinning.

cheers for that i give it a go
all hints and help welcome

thank you

I've got to say that float fishing has to be my favourite as far as shore or pier fishing goes ,what a buzz when that float goes under .

as for places to fish any rock really, we were floating at Dunstinbrough castle last weekend (see catch reports), Beadnell is canny, never tried yet myself but have heard some of the marks round whitburn will produce wrasse, i want to try the blocks on the pier for a few pollock but will robs need a drop net for that
