South Shield Pier

[codplaice]

Hi all,

i will be going on holiday in august and on the 18th i will be going sea fishing from south shields pier,im only allowed to go on that one day as its a family holiday and not a fishing holiday unfortunately.

ive never been sea fishing befor and dont have the money to splash out on a new rod and reel and line so will be having to use my carp rod lol.

i will pick up 1 or 2 lures and was thinking about trying to catch some red cod.

id really appreciate if any of you fellow anglers could give me some hints,tips on what lure to get,where to go,what to fish for ect.basically anything you can tell me lol.

cheers for reading.

And on another note,i smashed my record of 14 fish at the weekend,i was fishing at kodak lakes in annersley and caught (for me) an impressive 33 fish consisting of roach,perch 1 golden orfe (i think) and 3 tiny little baby gudgin,well i think they was,they was only about 3 inch long and they was long thin slightly spotty and a weird rubber feeling belly on it. woohoo to me hahaha

yeah thats the place,my wifes grandad lives there and we are going up for the week to see him and the sunday is my fishing day lol.

ive read a few sites that have mentioned parts of fishing but i thought who else better to ask than the good folk right here.

This site is very helpful, the best In my opinion.

 

I myself don't do a lot of sea fishing as I live in Birmingham and I couldn't be any further from the sea but from that page I found on the pier your fishing looks very helpful telling you the location of the rocks and sand patches, looks good.

 

Going on holiday in a couple of weeks to the south of France and I'm hopefully going to do some then, if the family lets me!
