to be honest this time of year and with these conditions you might be lucky to get an odd codling from around St Marys. Other than that try spinning off Whitley Bay pipe at low water for mackerel, the odd pollock and codlingAlan -
What aout feathers will they be ok around there? Can anyone suggest any other places in the area for a good days fish? I dont want to end up at roker pier or rats corner again thats all. I have even put a rest day in for a good days fish !!!!

Low water is not untill 1948 tomorrow night mate so Whitley pipe is out for during the day. If you are after Mackerel you could try Blyth pier. Shields pier has been throwing up Mackerel more consistently and Davey Adair got a couple of Pollack from the blocks and lost a goodun.

i am only a novice and dont go fishing very regular. i tried shields pier a few months back and every cast i lost gear .Is there a particular spot that is better? i understand you get snagged from time to time but this was every single cast. what would whitley pipe be like in the morn. high tide is meant to be 10:20 tommorow morning and i expect to be there before then!

High tide for the Tyne tomorrow is 13:16 mate. If you are fishing for Mackerel you shouldn\'t lose any gear. Try fishing with spinners just past the Blocks. If you fancy a go for Plaice try fishing the Rail End which is a sandy bottom.

If you lads decide to try Shields Pier, here are some other sections of the pier you might wanna try.........
Fishing the harbour side anywhere between the Brigade Hut and the gate is a doddle - sandy bottom - no snags.
Between the 1st gate and the Rubble is also pretty clean - closer you get to The Rubble, more chance of snagging.
Rail End (as Jim says), clean sandy bottom (watch out as the tide drops though, as there are quite a few rocks at the bottom of the pier wall to get snagged on).
The Post (fishing the harbour side) a good shot - BUT can be very snaggy at times (as can fishing the seaward side from here).
The \"44\" very popular shot on Shields pier with a clean, sandy bottom. Can sometimes prove problematic because of lobster pots.
The Blocks - another popular shot (see the link Willywetegg put up in the \"South Shields Pier\" topic to Daveys\' catch report.
The \"small wall\" - Seems to be THE place the macky bashers tend to go for.Comment

Nice one Tony. Forgot about that pic. Must have come in handy loads of times now mate.

Lol Aye, Jim - VERY handy.
Problem is - since I got me new PC (and lost everything I had on the previous one), I had to trawl through all the pix listed on the .CIBS server to find it

Yes mate I know how you feel. My son still has my old drive and has recovered a couple of pictures up to now. He told Yvonne they were fishing ones so will be interested to see what they are and if he can find any more. I really hope so as there were a load.
Meant to say I have just saved that one in my favs lol.
Jim.
