Shields pier this morning

[Pete from shields]

Ha ha you just can't win mate This week I'm going to fish the river instead lol.

Think I might need to up my hook sizes mate, sick of losing sized fish.

[kopite2k06]

cheers mate is that just so they get a bit closer inshore like? gave it a shot the other week looks very fishy but blanked, wrong conditions in all fairness though

yeah just to let em get a bit closer in.Its not unusual to get the odd bass, pollock and wrasse there either. Very good cod mark in the winter too but in the right conditions

[broon shoe]

the thick low life **** should be locked up and his kids taken off him it just boils me **** to see all the mess

[Darnc]

Some people just don't know how to go on but at least it didn't spoil your day even if it got off to a bad start

[rocketman]

Their just a bunch of tramps dossers..hate to see their houses .old cars up on bricks in gatden ..motor bike engine on kitchen table..****ty nappy behind settee with mould on

Dole card used to skin joints up on.
Catalogue lying on coffee table ready to rip off in someone elses name.
Scum

i still say the way forward is to put a day ticket charge on the piers or a yearly fee that way it will keep the tramps off the piers they do it all over the rest of the country and proper anglers would not mind paying a little fee . Rant over !

Good idea that mate. Fished Eastbourne pier last year £2 for a day pass, immaculate and run by volunteers from the local angling club.

What a first class gonk! Camping on a pier yourself is mental but with your daughter as well

But then we are dealing with people who have never had a job, never had to engage their brain in any way except to learn how to roll weed and crack open a can of Stella. Shame their kids will turn out the same.

I will stick to the beach, i can only imagine what the Heugh will be like this weekend...hard hats on

[Davey-m]

Every year same nutters come out when the mackerel are in. "Take your daughter to the slaughter"! Anything could have happened camping a mile out to sea on the end of a pier!.

Wey last night a lad was threatening to throw himself off shields pier. There was 4 police officers the coastguard on his bike the lifeboat was on standby. All for this one nutcase.

Oh and the mackerel were actually jumping out the water 1yard off the small wall. Plenty of them aswell. Not many other anglers about last night plenty space

[lumpsucker]

Were the chasing something or being chased? I saw double figure pollock tailwalking last year after full size macky above the blocks

Chasing the sprats and sandeels all the mackerel were spewing loads if them out when they had been caught

[Wreckingball76]

Woke up at 3.30am and couldn't get back to sleep, so did what most would do and went to grab a few mackerel while it was quiet, or so I thought lol. I got onto pier at 5am thought I had put my bag in a puddle as my arse was soaked, then realised my bloody juice bottle was open and had flooded my bag, great start ffs.

Got to end of pier and could see what I thought was a rod, then closer I got to end realised it was a rod rest, no ones about though so must of been left I thought. As I got even closer noticed loads of rubbish, empty beer cans, a bag with a couple of mackerel in and then noticed a rod on the ground, and further again I got and there was another rod, and then a tent.

To say the POT guy was pi$$ed off about the mess and the life belt would be an understatement.










Anyway I got myself 3 mackerel and 2 sandeels, was another fella with a few mackerel and another few fellas came and went with the odd mackerel and sandeel, no great numbers just yet though.

Think that was me who you spoke too for a minute. I was fishing the blocks for an hour. The place was a right state on the end like.

aye pete the pier was virtually spotless lats night and even cleaner after pier man came down, the plonkers in question brought 2 cases of ale down with them maybe 3 as they had that many bags with them, the one with the broken rod seemed on something when he arrived as he not have time to get drunk whilst i was there and was glad to get away when it was time for me to go home, they came down when rain was at its worst and never even had any dececnt clothing just relied on the tent but was good fun watichin put the tent up in that wind

Bloody typical summers day on the pier then, reminds me of that time some guy who was drunk beyond belief start on you for absolutely no reason bud, pathetic behaviour.
