Rat house or pier all night fishing

[<(Andy2009)>]

how does 6lb 2oz grab ya, caught tuesday night, nice fish as well, caught on a size 1, 2 hook flapper

Exactly mate, thered plenty fish around at the minute, maybe not in quality but in quantity.

Theres been a few decent fish around that area recently. A few years ago my good mate 'waco' lost probably the biggest cod ever seen/caught there, unfortunately I wasn't there to see it but many people did before the fish was lost, words couldn't describe how big it was, but from what i hear everyone who did see it expressed its size by stretching there arms as far apart as they could, and these where genuine anglers, including 'rod-the-cod', another member on here.

Just goes to show you should never mock a fishing mark, as one day that mark could throw up a fish of a lifetime, and you may have not been there to catch it as you think the marks dud.....

Am a right Jim mate or am a right.

'waco' and 'rod-the-cod' have both had decent fish there, but waco lost that massive fish on the rathouse pier thing itself...

Just saying there are better locations out there and not too far from where he was planning- personally am boycotting the wear, even though i abhor myself for saying it, I have had much better fishing sport / fish caught on the tyne estuary area / hebburn / jarrow / mill dam....

Andy, biggest cod i have seen was lost on the white rocks about 5 yrs ago by John Davies, took a while to bring it in and when it broke the surface its head was huge, the body came through and we could not believe it, was witnessed by at least 3 members of NESA, then a guy we were fishing with decided to grab the snood and drag it round the rocks to bring it in, snood snapped and fish stayed there for a few seconds but seemed like forever then just sank away, we all estimated it to be between late 20s and 30 lb easily, fish of a lifetime, i would have thrown the fkr in the sea if it had been my fish he lost

A wasnt there to see bob's (waco's) fish, but a guess it was probably the same size. It's probably the biggest from that area (rathouse), a dunno where white rocks are.

Aye a wouldn't like someone who a didn't know just come along and try and land a big fish on my rod ad tell em to bugger off! A would try to land the fish myself if a could get down to the water nearby, or ask a friend I trusted to help, unless that stranger miraculasly had a dropnet or gaff standing by... , now that would be extremely handy

Andy, the white rocks are a few hundred yards south of the south shelf of the wherry at whitburn mate, excellent low water mark

Well I went to peir and got not 1 bite so we went to ratty and a big bag of nout ......... Sick

[russ1610]

Was at the Ratty from 9.30am until 4.30 pm, 17/2. 4 small whiting and a flaty all day, and that was better than most very poor. funny thing is all the takes were only 20 yards out any further and i didn't even get a bite.
