it came in dark and it happened but we couldn't connect with them
then our Jackson managed one out the first one a whiting about 3/4inch

Weather     Warn & Clear

Anglers      Me & Julie

Bait            Rag,Macky,Mussel,Crab.


Well not as good as last week infarct i thought it would be better
with the high tide been later but i was wrong we where getting
crabbed off every chuck when it came in dark i thought the whiting
would start biting wrong again lol last cast i got a bite but it never
came back loads of crab about at the minute think it is with all
this warm weather we have had cant wait till the weather changers
and the sea start lift and the crabs move into deeper water.
There was fish took of the hall but only small whiting so there were there
just not where we were.

Nice warm night to be fishing we got back in the car about 9pm and
it was 19 degrees

Pic of the Hall beach.

South end of the beach.

This photo is looking towards Seaham north pier and the rocks you can see is
the feather bed rock its a good low water mark but it is dodge mark to fish if you
have never fished it before dont fish it you can get cut off and if there is a bit of
a swell you could get washed off there is a rock behind you so you will see when
you have to get off
The beach is a mixed there is more sand than rock but it changes every time there is
a big sea away the sand moves around.

This is photo of the north end of the beach.

the north end of the beach is the same as the south mixed ground but more sand than
rock its worth having a look at low water before you fish.

Seems to be loads of fish about.

Well reading reports from around the northeast there seems to be a load
of whiting about and codling after dark also a nice cod of 10 lb plus
and 5 lb where caught from the roker area last week so hopefully that
is a good sign for the winter season.

South shields pier and the river tyne are fishing well more so the tyne
there is whiting coaly and codling coming out of the tyne and the pier
is throwing up codling as well as coaly and dabs the odd plaice is still
getting caught as well.

Seaham pier is the same whiting and the odd doggie is also getting caught
the beaches are fishing well after dark.

I have sorted all me gear out well all most got me gear ready just got line to put on me
reels and a few more rigs to make and thats me by the time a get out the fish
will have moved on LOL.

Second week not bad at all.

Well the second week was a bit better fishing wise with a new species of me the
weather wasn't the best on the second week but we still got out fishing as ya do lol
well my new specie was a thornback ray i was hoping to get one out but the doggies
were hard to get passed but i did.

 then the conger came out to play Julie lost one and i got this fella out.

And there was more doggies to be had and small pollack as well macky were the in
numbers as well.

Not many fish came home with us this year a few macky and 2 pollack there was not
many big pollack about this year but the fishing was great any ways doggies ray and
conger where all returned to fight another day and to grow for next year.

first week not the best.

The fishing is not the best up here this year (lock melford) loads of small pollack
but nee big ones but we are still trying another week to go at yet the macky is keeping
us busy why we look for these big pollack.

Inbetween fishing we have be getting razor clams for bait for the winter had to dig
most of them like cos sometime when ya salt them they don't come out the holes.
the dog is still looking for it.

 Thenit was back to fishing took the big rod round and baited it with buely and squid
and it was doggies from the off.

Not doing very well with me pot either not many crab about but the tides are dropping
off might pick a few up fingers crossed dog got to be there as well.
