Marsden today

[magpies]

Thinking about fishing the flood up to darkness today at Marsden to get out of the wind. Any chance ?

Do I just park at the Grotto and walk down the steps ? Or would I be better fishing from the cliffs ?

Also is it rough ground ?

Any advice much appreciated.

you can fish the cliffs mixed to rough ground but if ya want to get out the wind try fishing the first aid hut mixed ground there park just past the roundabout and walk down the bank it costs you to park in the grotto car park before 7pm mate
plus it save a walk up them steps.

Thanks Eddie, is that the roundabout north of the grotto ? towards shields ? Sorry if its a daft question mate I don't know the marks along there very well.

Yes it is, The little mini roundabout with the minchellas ice cream hut at the side, Park on the side of the road (the leas) its free parking

Many thanks Mate, will give it a go.

Thanks again Eddie, nice mark and seems to be a decent depth ? Didn't get the hoped for Codling (or Bass even) but a coley before dark and a few whiteys (decent size) after kept me busy. Missed one proper pull down and slack liner on Kart just before dark. Tip jagged down and just dropped back nodding. You know that feeling when you just expect to pick the rod up and it's on. Nowt there and the bait was shredded. Met a nice lad from Shields club who gave me some more info on the area too. Good craic. The tide pushed me up onto the steps in the end !

Nice to here you pulled a few fish out shame they weren't cod but there's always
next time mate did you lose much gear. ??

 

[magpies]

Just one snood mate, I could feel my gear bouncing through rocks and stuff on the retrieve but managed to get it back every time. Got better for the retrieve as the bay filled up.

Nice to meet you too mate and thanks for your help and advice. Just after you left some decent whiting started to show. One of them wolfed a giant chunk of Cart down, I thought it had to be a codling but no dice. Just nice to be there 'though.
