End of june you can't get moved on the pier mackerel season to have peace and quiet you need to be on the end at first light. Looking forward to your next video thanks.
Being new to fishing I have to say you make it look very easy. keep the uploads coming this is my favorite fishing channel and I've learned a lot from it 👍👍👍
Fantastic video mate. Will have to head down sometime and try some fishing. Used to love pulling these in and they make killer bait later in the year. Keep up the good work Gary
Nice video thanks Gary. Surprised there were Sandeels about there back in May - as I've said in other comments tonight, pickings are unusually thin down here, not many baitfish about yet, and so no Bass or Mackerel. Love the scenery & drone footage, and jealous of the piers and some of the marks you have up there. Stay safe & well. 👍👍
Thanks 👍 they usually turn up around about May every year followed by the mackerel but the mackerel have been about a month later this year and still aren't fully in yet.
Another great vid Gary, was visiting a couple of weeks ago, unfortunately no gear with me, keep up the most excellent work dear chap. Tight lines, kind regards Keith.
dont waste your time down the pier, head up to the top (10:30 location) 23 to 30 yard cast will get Bonk Eels (launce) when the Mackeral are in same place bur cast toward North pier (as far as you are able) usually if you drop down the side you will be plaiged wirth small coalies. you can easily achive 50 + Bonk Eells per tide in the summer
Hi Gary. Great video bud. This sort of fishing, are you better to fish tide in or tide out or doesn't it matter which one you choose ? Kind Regards Chris
just bought and up to 8g lrf rod and looking to use it. ive got some straight tailed soft plastoics and the rod is 6ft. i cant cast far. where should i go lrfing in the sheilds area apart form the tyne? looking to catch flatties, pollocl/coalies and mini species. thanks
Sandhaven and little haven beach for flatties, the leas and camels rockpools for pollock and minis also the piers are good for the pollock coleys and minis.
@@fishingintheukgarywood do you think fish quay sands, the beach w the sailing boats on and around the black middens promenade is worth a shot for coalies and minis? thanks again and your videos are great, i especially like the summer beach lrf one
With the sandeels you can catch rays, huss, spurdogs, bass, pollock and flounder. From the pier in the summer you can catch sandeels, cole fish, mackerel, pollock, flounder, dab, plaice and the odd Gurnard and codling.

Hi Gary.
Great video bud.
This sort of fishing, are you better to fish tide in or tide out or doesn't it matter which one you choose ?
Kind Regards Chris
Hi Chris, thanks. I usually prefer to fish the tide in for them upto high water and an hour or so after high water.
@@fishingintheukgarywood many thanks Gary.
Here in Fife hoping to get out soon weather warming up abit .
Kind Regards Chris
Anytime Chris, good luck 👍
Is there actually any point spinning for Sandeel yet do ya think mate?
Yes mate now that the sea is settling there should be more about.
Any recommendations for getting #12 stainless steel hooks? Not seeing them anywhere and i want to make my own sabiki’s
I'm not sure. I havent heard of any maybe try using the hooks that they use for sea trout flies.
@@fishingintheukgarywood will do thanks
