[codseeker]

fished roker pier lastnight till this morning very dissapointing for most folk anyway i blanked goodstyle but there was a strange visitor joined us on the roundhead where it came from we do not know im guessing the last steps and made its way up on top .it went walkies to avoid us and back down the roundhead steps and back up lol never seen anything like it in my time fishing so the roker otter i named it

worth the trip just to see the otter, if you can get in touch with the otter society, they might like to know.

i have seen and herd funny things on that pier few years back was at the bunker you could see nothing fog like soup but you could hear this strange crying coming from the sea, made your hair stand on end .. the bloke down from me said he seen something floating in the sea any way he phone the police ,, police drove up the pier you could still hear this crying noise ..
police phone the coast guard ,,ten minites later ,coast guard, helicopters, the works after a full search the crying was a seal and the life boat towed a bath back ot port

Any good fishing shots in Wallsend? Gormless or what.

Sad that it takes a topic about a rare species in our rivers for our black and white cousins to try and have a dig about football

Shouldn't we be excited that we have confirmed sightings of these magnificent creatures in the Wear? I've seen them in captivity in a place in SW scotland, and they really touch your heart.

If you want to have a dig black and whites, start another thread eh.

[codseeker]

yeah i logged on and couldnt believe the replys and off topic it was about a sighting of sommit i havent seen anywhere nevermind the rivers but was well chuffed to have witnessed it if you want to swing your handbags about use the chat section sure theres a lot of footy carry on in there

[tonynufc]

sorry about the football crap lads i couldn't resist...... yes it is great to see a creature like that, i love any kind of wildlife so i wish i'd seen it or if someone could get a pic of it that would be great. i was on tynemouth one night and there was a seal on the end (sea's were very rough) and i got a small whiting and me being me i tried to feed this whiting to the seal and nearly lost my hand.
