Pier Fishing in the summer

[Geodark]

Anyone know what time the piers start to fill up with the maki being in now? Fancy taking the bairn out for a session this weekend on roker pier - notice high tide is around 5:30ish, so wondered if it would still be quiet if I got there around about then? Don't fancy fishing shoulder to shoulder on the piers.

Probably be shoulder to shoulder with everyone drinking cans of lager lol

Early morning is usually the best shout to avoid the busy period matey.

getting their in darkness just as light breaks is the best time. fishing can be hectic if they are in and start to die off around 6.30am. afternoons are the worst time everywhere as they camp out for the day.

Cheers Phil, was meaning 5:30am - so you reckon it should still be ok then? Can't see the boy getting up any earlier than that!

if fact shes now 22 and wants me to take her and her boyfriend early one morning.

05:30 should be fine mate... That's when I tend to go down. Get a good couple of hours before the majority of 'anglers' turn up for the day. Best of luck

Aye, that's what I was thinking - catch a few fish and still get home in time for bacon sarnies for breakfast

With the current forecast for saturday morning being possible thunder storms again I guess I might give it a miss - don't fancy waving a 13 foot wet carbon rod in the air while the lightening is around - don't might just be me
