Seahouses and Beadnell

[robbo1530]

Going to take a few days off work next week and thinking if trying a couple of shots around here instead of heading all the way up to Eyemouth area.

I've been looking at the Seahouses map and been trying to work out the best marks for kelpies. Is it best to get on and fish off the breakwater or best to head to the skeer off Harbour Road and fish towards the south pier on what looks like very sheltered water. Or neither and head to the skeers in front of the caravan park to the south of the breakwater.

Any general pointers much appreciated.

oops sorry x2.

[robbo1530]

Cheers mate, appreciate it. Have plenty of frozen crab although sadly no fresh. Still, looking forward to getting out on marks I've not really fished before.

Do you know Seahouses as well mate?

[regpude]

as said robbo,mix some MUSSLE with your frozen crab,cant go wrong.rotten bottoms also on your rigs.

On the big tides, a lot of the gullies behind the golf course (at the North Sunderland point end) will empty out a bit too much, so I'd stick to the right hand side of the harbour. You can walk along the big skeer with the brick hut on it (just follow the old concrete pipe) and fish into the gully on the left, or go along to the end and fish either to the left or the right.

Just across the gully on the left are some rocks at what I call the corner of the harbour that you can get on about 2 & 1/2 hours before bottom water where you can again chuck short into the same gully as the tide goes back, moving along to your left as the tide drops back till you get on the corner. (There's a deep gut here which you'll have to go around the back of to get to the corner). A good chuck here puts you out over the reef to more mixed ground - come around to your left and fish along towards the breakwater and it's very heavy kelp all the way in, but the chance of a good fish. Otherwise very heavy ground - be prepared to lose some gear and keep it simple with a 3/0 or 4/0 single hook, crab bait & rotten bottom. Codling and wrasse mainly, with a the chance of coalies as well.

Yup Reg, needs to be nice and flat with clear water - and you're right, a bag or two of mussel won't go amiss either

Gary

[robbo1530]

Both, appreciate the advice and the time taken. Fingers crossed for some flat seas - should be ok from the forecast, apart from the rain.

Cheers

would of liked to know how you got on at Seahouse

[robbo1530]

Blanked at Seahouses and lost a shed load of gear mate.

Did better at Beadnell first time there with a couple of nice kelpies on peeler but blanked a couple of times after.

Canny places to fish though, with at least the anticipation of getting something decent.

Personally I don't believe in shape shifting water spirits!
