Weekly report by Andy rutherford...26/1/20

Flat seas and clear water made it hard going last week for local anglers. Having said that, some good sized whiting along with a few codling were taken. Even a few pollock have started to show. The best pollock weighing just over 4lb was taken at The Blocks on the bottom of Seaham South Pier by Lee Burton.
Seaham North Pier has seen a few good size whiting along with the odd coalfish and flounders.
The cliff marks at Ryhope have still produced the odd codling, with the best over 3lb.
Roker Pier has not produced as many whiting as the water has cleared up. The odd codling up to 2lb has been taken out of the bay. Ian Elliott took a pollock of 3lb 13oz when fishing from the pier in the South Shields club comp.
Marsden and Whitburn's rock marks have produced the odd codling, with the best around 3lb.
South Shields Pier and The Groyne at the mouth of the Tyne have seen codling up to 2lb along with coalfish that are just undersized.
The River Tyne is full of undersized codling taking all types of bait, but frozen crab has picked out the odd better one up to 3lb. Further up river there are still plenty of flounders at the British Airways Car Park.
Anglers traveling to the west coast of Scotland have had great sport with thornback rays - some anglers have taken 12 fish a session with the best over 12lb.
