Malc Posted October 20, 2023 Share Posted October 20, 2023 Lots of people dusting off their big rods in anticipation of fish moving inshore due to the easterlies and I might be able to join them, but first I have to shake off this cold. Sunday or Monday might be good as the swells subside. Andy135, Hoop and daio web 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy135 Posted October 20, 2023 Share Posted October 20, 2023 Received wisdom suggests that the day after a big storm is good for cod. Fingers crossed for you and look out for residual swell! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the local beach between the two Tyne piers, its called Little Haven 😀 Unfortunately a poor picture due to sand and sea spray constantly hitting the windscreen but the dome on top of the south lighthouse is missing and I know that they build them with keyed stones but we could lose some more of it.

Malc Posted October 20, 2023 Author Share Posted October 20, 2023 Apparently the pier structure (wall possibly) has also been damaged so not good for those who regularly fish there or those who can't access beaches and rock ledges.

A local youtuber (local marks fishing) fishes beach and harbour / Solent in a Sib at night, filming live streams as he does so, have been catching more Conger than anything else. Good luck shaking off the cold, if not.. stick another jumper on! Malc 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malc Posted October 22, 2023 Author Share Posted October 22, 2023 (edited) Cod whiting coalfish and haddock. The latter has been getting more common over the past few years. EDIT- Missed off pollock somehow 😕 Edited October 22, 2023 by Malc daio web 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Haddock were a viable option this way, I'd probably not fish for anything else! thejollysinker and daio web 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malc Posted October 23, 2023 Author Share Posted October 23, 2023 Haddock are in the 1-2lb range so I have only taken one which was bleeding from the gills. They are an irregular catch but even getting caught from the shore, when the weather calms we might get a few as we change the bait fishing during the winter.

Malc Posted October 24, 2023 Author Share Posted October 24, 2023 So the plan was to go fishing yesterday with 2 plans in mind, one a LW mark and the other a HW. I decided on the HW and got the tides wrong! About to go out and check the tide and it says the next low tide is 3 hours time...not good for a HW mark and I couldn't get to the LW mark at the right time as its further away. However we aren’t required for grandparenting today so I am off out to the HW mark, which by reports is fishing OK. Andy135 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
