Greetings

Guest

Thought I would introduce myself. I live in South Shields and often fish at Roker in Sunderland. I have been using this site for ages but have not yet joined the forum. I was wondering if anyone had any good spots to fish from in the North East as I usually have quite a good night's fishing from Roker but only seem to ever catch Whities, flaties and coalies. I am still yet to catch a cod this winter although there has been a few caught. There doesn't seem to be many from the North East on this site yet but there are very good tips and spots going around other areas. Maybe this is because there isn't a North-East link??? Hope to hear some good news. Also my nickname is mogthemackem as there already seems to be someone using my name (Mog). Is there an imposter in the house?

Mog back again. Went fishing at my regular spot again on Friday night about 2 1/2 hours before and after high tide. Suprisingly I got more whities and coalies. I used squid, lug, rag and muscle in every combination possible and still no cod. The night was quite calm though and at least I did do quite well numerically. Someone did catch the cod I wanted and I would have swapped my whole night's catch for the one cod. It seems the whities and coalies know I am not going to keep them so they just pass word around and feast on my bait cocktails.

Thanks for your welcomes Mal and Mrix and I promise I will end up in your members catch pictures by the end of the winter.

HI MOG,I live in Gateshead,i`ve fished roker for a while now and although there have been a few decent codling caught i havent caught one myself.If you want COD and have transport,try going to CRASTER or LYNNMOUTH.Fished these places loads of times and never came back empty handed,but i must say CRASTER,off the rocks produces some lovely red codling Average size4lb 6oz.hope this helps
