thornies have been caught more and more frequently over the past few years down at Seaham and the colliery beaches, search jarrow vikings threads and you will find a couple from past 2 years i think. -
Only ever heard rumours from other lads along Horden/Easington but nothing sure. Iv'e always tried after the light fades down Horden but nothing yet,one will come my way and al have it?Comment

Theres a few taken every year from Seaham north pier in the autumn.
Flat sea and a small to medium tide being the best time.
Bait,sandeel with a squid wrap.
Most people target them on big tides when small to medium ones are better,especialy on the beaches...Comment

I targeted them a few years ago but never got one, fished Seaham pier. There were reports of fish showing every week along with doggies, mate got few dogs but no rays. Probs best to go with the 2 rods approach cos you may wait a while. I do believe that if they were there then they will still be around.Comment

both my mates have had them from horden beach around this time last year when its dark and the sea is calm, 1 was around the 8lb mark and the other was 10lbComment
