South Shields Pier

Does anyone know if the pots are still sitting off the right hand side of the pier?


Thanks in advance.

Yes they are, I was there first thing Monday morning and the little boat was going along the side of the pier dropping pots. He started just off the blocks then layed them until about 100 yards past the end into open sea. The first pot is marked with a bouy with a flag on it. I wouldn't worry about them though. I fished over the top of them for a few hours and only snagged up a couple of times.

a can`t understand why they do this, they pay for there licience, so yes, they can drop there pots wherever they want. but, surely they know that it is a well fished area. unless they`re trying to collect as much tackle as they can. !

The pots will be there throughout the summer and autumn. You've just got to try and find a gap somewhere or like said chuck well over them and reel in like the clappers to try and avoid getting caught up. All part of the game I suppose.

was just saying, the lobster`s don`t just stick to the pier`s, it`s a bit bad crack putting there pots so close. a can`t reach the pots of tynemouth pier (casting), and there`s none anywhere near blyth pier. just think you lads who fish there are in for some tackle buying.

Hi m8t yes pots are still there and me i would/nt waste my time fishing over pots as too much gear is lost but its your funeral so if i were you i would take heed and avoid that area okay

[Pete from shields]

Did you go to pier Dave,? how did you get on mate owt or nowt, guessing the latter with no reports up. Well plrnty of reports but there from months ago haha.

[the leadman]

There layed there for the grown . Lobsters like rocks and kelp. Amd crabs like sand. I know its a pain but fineding a place to put your pots in the first place with out upseting outher boats is no mean feet. Most of the seas round are coast are clained by a few boats. The lad has to make his money and put food on the table. Dont think he collecting tackel

I did go out mate but blanked. I was only spinning on my light gear to see if i could get a bit sport off the coleys or maybe a pollock. The nets were not a problem tbh as i never hooked them once but i do understand the lad who puts them out has a living to make.
I will probably put my spinning gear away for a couple of weeks then head up to Eyemouth & St Abbs once the seas settle down & the water clears up
