Spring run

[Cod,cod,cod!]

It's all down to sea reclaiming the cliffs and the erosion that's happening all the way along the Holderness coast,I was down last spring and went to Hilston to fish and was shocked by the amount of erosion their,most of the coastal roadway has fallen into the sea.
But agree its all down to the colour of the water thats the attractor for the fish.
At Hornsea and Withensea they have increased the sea defences but that only increases erosion further down the coast.
You just got to read and look at the great Spurn point to see the change in sea v land battle it's an ongoing movement between land and sea.
But I have a question...why has the winter shore fishing down the Holdeness coast been poor as against other winters and now seems to be picking up for the spring run.
I believe there is a answer to this.

Because the sea was runing constantly from the east for about 2-3months over xmas. Weed followed and made places unfishable.

why ar,nt our colliery beaches fishing now or thro out winter when its flat. yorkshire beaches fished realy well last winter when we had prolonged periods of s/westerley winds.

interesting thread, why do you think the cod/codling prefer coloured water.

is it - the sun hurts the eyes.

they think its nightime and food ie crabs are crawling about not like daytime when they are holed up.

or are they just confused .

Probably because there's less fish and if a venue is difficult there's less fishing it and conditions will dictate depending on season and cycles. Few years since I fished Hornsea but the match was cracking in daylight with heavily coloured water and results were close til the end.
