tackle for open ground simple two hook rig with rag, lug mussel baits. If water clear a set of hokkais will not go wrong.
For wrecking for cod s simple jigger with a single muppet above will do.

If you go to Blyth bait can be ordered from Sports and Leisure01670 365980, he is not far from the docks.
