where to shore fish in the north of england?

I fish at Merseyside and Maryport. Heysham is good,but anywhere from Liverpool up to Maryport on the west coast will get you fishing spots.

there is loads of cracking fishing up north,i normally fish,st.bees,whitehaven,workington,maryport,sillot h, dubmill-point 4 bass and all the way down the solway estuary to port carlisle, bowness-on-solway but there is some good fishing to be had further south of cumbria....the blocks at haverigg and more places round there,Mickylad tells me silecroft just above haverigg can produce good fish.........anyway good hunting..............leded.......................

i agree thats not to bad atall getting my rod out next weekend and i will give it a try p.s is there still ragworm to be dug at newbrighton

[keith n]

not sure about digging ?? but peelers are THE bait at the moment
anything else and you reel bare hooks in after 5 minutes - very frustrating

true
this morning we went through 80 worms from 8.30 till 1.30 picked clean a good number of times
good job my fishing buddy is an animal on the bait pump lol

Hope I've done this right , am also looking for good venues in the North West and Merseyside, if you have any advice, would be much appreciated.

Many thanks

Ken

There`s no rag at New Brighton these days....the groynes which where put in have meant that the sand has built up,covering the areas where the rag used to be.
For up to the minute info on North West marks,check out the interactive map....
