Hello, been wanting to fish these marks for a while now some i have but unsure if im in right place , does anyone who knows these marks well fancy showing me the ropes sometime?
Last time i was up cresswell the beach was swarmed with razorfish shells, im guessing the fish will feed on these so maybe a good guess taking some as bait when you go
ive fished the bondis a few times but there are probably hundreds of holes that will hold fish and i dont know any of them!
This sounds like old hat but it isnt, go down on a big tide and just walk all over and take a camera and a a4 pad and pens, its the best advise i would give anyone on any coastline. Going back to the bondis i think it would take years to find all the shots and thats fishing every day of the week!
Cresswell carrs is one of my fav shots all year round, you have the carrs itself like an islan, you can get on as soon as the pipe starts to show, this brings you onto the south side of the island, you can fidh all along thd sea side ofthe island, north is clean as your onto the arse end of the beach, the further south you get, the rougher the bottom is. I have had fish from all over it, but i prefer the heavy cabbage jungle to the south of the island. Then you have limpet rocks heading south to private beach, again this is heavy kelp, then private beach, just a small beach but can be very productive, then you have more ricks heading south to the big skeer called snab point. All of this area holds fish during the summer and also on the arse end of a running to dying sea. Baits wise, i have had fish on almost everything, the last few season i was getting a 5lber every time i went , the shots i go on seem to fish best when the tide floods hard and your getting pushed off, best to have pre baited traces made up for short timed chucks as you can loose time baiting up when its flooding hard. Tackle wise, rough ground rod, 30-35lb line, big hooks and baits, weak link and your half way there. Try not to park in the ice cream shop car park, the kid goes off it, he has clamping signs up, not sure if its a deterant or serious, i just avoid parking there lol. I have seen him box in peoples cars with his cars and van lol.
No probs, its hard to explain all the marks around the carrs just to the south, but you can see points and rock edges etc, just have a few chucks and move, the very end rock point on the north end of private beach can be a cracking shot , there are a few tricks i have picked up fishing that area, not posting them on here. The whole area to the south of the carrs is a big basin, you have some massive weeds beds out to sea level with the carrs, then it drops off into a basin. If im fishing there, i will start at ond place and move after a few chucks, you need to move and find the fish there, sometimes you dont need to move far, dont forget to try and cast at different distances, i have seen fish come out of the weed there in daylight in less than 3ft of water. Snab point to the very south of private bezch is allways worth a shot aswell, not really cresswell as such, but defo not a place you should keep driving past
thanks again. I'm just looking on bing maps now. thankfully it shows the features. I really hate it when the photo is from high tide. whats the point in that. THe photos and maps of whitley bay beach and rock marks are a joke. I am guessing 'snap point' is the snab point you talk about.
Aye snab point, i will have a look at some of the old club maps i had or had lol, been copied that many times its hard to read, i will scan and post pics up if i find them. Very popular area, can bag up if you hit it right, i have seen people do it, its yet to happen to me lol
