Just thought i'd see what pier Fellow Anglers thinks is the best pier in the North East and why???
Mines Roker Pier Because its convinient for me and easy fishing,with the chance off some canny fish when conditions are right... big hug

I also like roker pier there has been some lunkers caught off there in the last couple of years also seaham pier is a cracking pier the only thing is you need a key and you have to join seaham sea angling club to get one. there has been some cracking fish took off that pier.

Hi Eddiet, you can fish the pier when its rough, ive fished it with 5ft swells or more, if its storm conditions it would be closed off and you would see the waves breaking over the wall.
