Walkway 5/8/10

[Wreckingball76]

Just fished the Walkway for the first time. Nice Mark. Easy access, not too far to walk and plenty of fish too!

Me and my Pal went down from 6.30pm - 9.30pm fished the middle of the walkway. Plenty of undersize Codling and Coalies for sport and the odd flatty. There were a few size Codling taken too, from 1lb to 2lb.

I had one 38cm which was just over size, which I gave to the guy next to me, who looked like he had two fish each cast on a 2 hook flapper.

There were about 20 Rods down tonight, everyone seemed to be catching.

We fished with Ragworm and Crab and every Cast was either a fish or missed fish and empty hook.

An enjoyable evenings Fishing, will definately Fish there again.

Not surprised Gary, it is the only place any reports are coming from at the moment. Add to that the 10lber caught the other week and every angler and his dog will be heading there. That's the problem with small venues like the walkway - it only takes a few report chasers and the place gets packed out.

yeah i seen the 10lber in the sea angler yesterday thats why i thought it was packed aswell, good little place to fish especially on the small tides but i wont fish there on the big tides normally lose a weight a cast. might head down again today or the pier

I'm surprised you haven't fished the Shields area more Mick, fairly easy to get to from Consett and with the pier and the walkway some good easy marks to fish. As good as Steetly and the Heugh in many ways anyway. Though I guess you tend to go to 'pool as your old man is there.
