While the sea is flat fish into rough ground, i would suggest fishing st Mary's lighthouse, you can fish it low or high water. If you fish high water, you'll have to wait a while to get off when the tide goes back a bit. You can catch cod, wrasse, Pollock, coalie, mackerel, etc;

Call in at Lewis's tackle, you'll get advice there and they're just up from the promenade. Opp the Rex hotel or on the pipe seem most popular, no somewhere I fish though.

At the moment, there isn't much to be had night fishing round Whitley Bay - it's much more of a winter thing, usually best around october/november. At this time virtually any mark can throw up fish and a general rule of thumb would be the bigger the sea, the further north up the beach you can fish.

At the moment, as Canman has said, probably the best mark would be St. Mary's island - in another month or so there'd be a good chance of codling out of the kelp, with the possibility of pollack & wrasse as well. Probably best fished when the sea is fairly flat & the water clear.

Rigs-wise, I always fish from the boat-station at the north end to the pipe at the south (during the winter) with a two-hook flapper - it's by far the most popular setup here allowing you to offer a choice of baits, usually lug & crab (& maybe a bit of mussel).

If you're fishing around St. Mary's the ground is mostly a lot heavier & you may prefer just a simple one-hook rig. Fresh crab is the vital here in the summer, with ragworm if you fancy trying for the wrasse. As suggested, if you're in the area pop into Lewis Tackle in Ocean View, W/bay & they'll be able to tell you what's been had recently & help point you in the right direction.

Good luck,

Cheers, Gary
