redcar/saltburn

[martinw]

Im taking my spinning rods back to work with me this week, is there anything to be had with spinners off redcar or saltburn, any mackerel about up there?? Ive chosen there because its close to darlington near my workplace.

would be good to get out up there

martin , the south gare at redcar should be fishing for mackeral to spinners by now, also the pier at saltburn, dusk seems to be the best time to fish for them at the moment, there is also middleton pier or steetley pier at hartlepool which should be about the same distance as darlington to redcar, ( steetley pier is a £5 charge and you car is safe there with security )

Cheers steve, am going to try and get up there wednesday (tomorrow)afternoon/evening, any ideas what the tides are doing up that end of the world? Anyone know what the best state of tide is to fish with spinners and lures?

hi martin , high water is about 5.45 in the afternoon at hartlepool and about 6pm at saltburn, the tides are getting bigger with thurs night the biggest of the evening tides, if you are fishing of the piers last 2.5 hours up and 1.5 hours down should be ideal, the forcast is for a dry day with 10mph westerly winds and the sea is flat
