New to area

[codlip]

Just moved to the North East as a keen fisherman i was keen to check out the local tackle shops, checked out the one in Dean road South Shields but was'nt made very welcome by the unhelpful man in the shop I felt unless i was in their to spend money then go away and stop wasting my time. Whilst fishing on shields pier i was told to try A Line baits at Horsley Hill so i paid it a visit what a difference, very friendly helpful man called Joe he gave me a few tips on good shots and his bait was superb one of the shots he told me about I caught a 2 & 1/2 pound Bass, that boy seems to know his stuff ! I am considering joining the shields angling club and would welcome any other advice on the area .

try and fish regular and you will soon get to know the lads and the marks, there is a lot of good lads lads out there omly to willing to help
the pier is the ideal place to get to know what you need to know, also the walk way ( best fished on the smaller tide s
