Walkway 12/2/11

had some canny days at the walkway through the summer geting some nice bags of codling from about 1lb-3lb plenty of them aswell, not down much for me this winter though might of had a coalie n thats about it lol think il leave that place till the crab are back in then give it a shot.

The main reason I don't like fishing there is that it's a small mark and if you get say ten rods out it becomes a nightmare. If yer in the middle of the mark and the tides going out then you've got to cast upriver and leave slack line just to consolidate your presentation. But you can't do that or it would mean casting across the guy next to you on the left who has chucked dead ahead (in a lot of cases in my experience) so you end up hoying straight out and getting swept to yer right, and then you've got the guys on yer right hoying upstream to their left and so on. If you were the only angler on the mark then, no prob.

Cheers mate. I've tried getting shot of it a few times but it just seems to return, I just cannit get rid of it. Bit of improvisation on saturday with the rest though, only used the rod holder bit at the end, that and a bit of elecy's tape to the railing and job was a goodin. You used to be able to do that on the pier until someone had the bright idea to cut the railings off.

Looks about a pound and a half I would say. You know how fisherman like to embellish. Sounds like you had a good day though.

Do you always have to put people down!

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.Gordon

Agree 100% m8t....nice fish though !

Aye mate, he's always been the same, They should have never released the guy in my opinion.
