Roker Pier & then Hartlepool!

[Macka]

Got to Roker 9am & was only a few people on, fished till 11.30am with only 2 coalie billets that were put back, few lads had been down since 1st light & only had 1 mackerel between them, water was muddy brown.

We gave in and headed for Hartlepool Pier, never fished it before but after stopping for fish & chips got onto the pier & tried spinning for mackerel with no luck so we set the bait rods up & fished with rag & mackerel strip for a few hours with no luck at all.

There was a fella fishing with lugworm on the top of pier casting out to sea & he pulled in a bass about 2-2 1/2lb.

Took a pic & told the fella it was going on the site so probs a new member on the way.

where you the bunch oif lads that fished the end with 2 other lads down near the steps if so i was the lad that had walked along to see if anything was happening im supprised you never had anything to be honest cos it normally is productive any time of the tide and can produc e some good fish too when the sea is away but thats only if its safe enough to go on
