South Sheilds pier yesterday

[Mad as a fish]

After 30 years of not fishing i managed to get a sesh on the end of South Shields Pier yesterday with my son who caught 1 tommy i got nowt but enjoyed the day out, and the chance to see that i could still cast a lead and bait. just like swimming once you learn you don't forget.
There were a few small Tommie's and coalies reeled in by other anglers.
