Walkway 12/2/11

[g.ordon]

Fished the walkway today from 11:00 till 16:00. Would have gone on the pier but the gate was shut and me mate would have a bit difficulty climbing around. Virtually a fish a chuck small codling, canny coalies and this feller



Weighed in at about 3lb so having it for tea.


All in all a nice day, when we packed up at 4 it was starting to turn into chav city, sword fights with fishing rods etc. anyway left them with some canny bait.

I still hate the F*****g walkway though as a venue.

Just finshed it mate, absolutely delicious. Nowt like a fresh runner. Some guy on here not do long ago posted a youyube attachment on how to fillet fish properly, I took note and it worked a treat so a big thanks to him. Downside was I rang wor lass who was at the town and asked her to buy me a proper filliting knife, she did, but I didn't mean a £26 one

Chuck after that fiish I had a massive knock but thought it was mate over me so didn't react. When I realised it wasn't, to late, took to ground.

The measure wasn't mine, I'd never use one of them, It was one of the 4 guys fishing next to us who brought it over, not at my request like. They reckoned 3 1/2lb and so did I but anyway when weighed it on the scales at home it was only 3lb. I think the measure goes to 50cm, when has a cod of that length weighed 1 10?

Walkway's Ok if ya wana look at the ar*e end of north shields fish quay all day like.

South Shields mate, just around the corner from the little haven hotel. Bait used today was crab and cast into the middle of the river or further. mate used rag at shorter range and got a canny few fish also. You can park right next to the place next to the boat yard. Good luck.

Nice fish mate. A think it's a case of the heart ruling the mind. I'll fish the pier any day rather than walkway or even better some rockmark up the coast, but walkway did it again for me today. I still hate the place though.
