A beautiful day on the coast. Marsden Bay 27th June 2015

The weather today was beautiful.  Since nothing much was happening with regards to fishing locally I made the most of the opportunity to head to the beach with my family.

We love the beach at South Shields as it is newly redeveloped and is now by far the best beach in the region.  I decided to head down to Marsden Bay to look around as I had not yet been there myself.

Turns out that this place is just as awesome as South Shields big beach.  An absolutely stunning stretch of beach that doesnt seem to get too packed when the sun comes out.  Perfect for a relaxing few hours with the kids and the camera!

This stretch also looks good for a few fishing sessions later on in the season.

Scouting some new marks to fish

I got out this afternoon with the family and headed to South Shields for a walk along towards Souter Lighthouse.

I have never ventured south of the Tyne for some reason and I was curious as to what fishing marks I could find along that stretch of coastline.

Lots was the answer.......

I need to do some homework over the coming months but I think that several of the marks I have identified will be "visited" this year.  Most look like they would fish both in the winter for Cod and during the summer for Pollock and Wrasse perhaps.

As always I took plenty of great photos.  My favourite being the one looking north up the beach just as the Golden Hour started.  All photos are "as shot" and I have done nothing with them save some image stitching on the Panoramas.
