dont we have enough laws as it is , y shot might hurt his 20 foot boat what *******s

 

I won one of our club matches from there! some good sport to be had in there when there's nowhere else to fish. I know there's a security guard on there now who aparently doesn't let ya fish, suppose it's just pot luck if he comes over!

 

Ask him under what laws or authority he has to stop you and where the signs are informing you its not allowed and them tell him to get lost or you will call the police.

Its like those ' No Ball Games Allowed ' signs totally unenforceable under the law that local authorities like to put up to make you think you are breaking some law..

 

The only issue you'd have off Jacksons Landing is that its private property. So in theory if they dont like you fishing off there, they can boot you off.

 

when we were kids we used to tell them to go and get the police they never ever came .if you fish away from the boats you wont get bothered
once seen a kid about 6 year old pull a cod easy 11 lbs in from down the side using cooked mussle had a few cod over the years also wrasse dogfish flatties crabs lobsters you never no in there

 

hi there
i know quite a few boat owners, who have no problems with kids fishing in the marina, was there myself for over 10 years.
there is also quite a few older anglers like myself who fish it, me myself off the old tub.
what we do not like is them casting 6 ounce leads into the marina at full force, i and many boat owners have found many a lead on the boats, and some have had damage (fact)
there was a lad who has now moved from the marina, for having a quite word with a couple of kids, only to be told to f$$k off, or they would smash all his windows, he only told them not to cast there leads nexr his boat, the spot near the wingfield castle, and around there are perfect, so why near boats.
its alright saying just dropping a line over the side, but these would be world casting champions, think other wise.
a 6 ounce lead at full tilt, can make quite a dent in a very expensive boat, or person as many people live on there pride and joy.
regards

 

Have been told there has been some decent fish took out of there, 9 lb cod was the heaviest. Fished it once with my nephew down near Jacksons Wharf and then around by the Old West Quay. Didn't get a bite but the lager was nice. I know the divers use the area a lot, was drinking outside the Old West Quay August 06, a lad diving brought up a lobster about six and a half pound. Might give it another shot with some light tackle.

 

hi
seen some cracking fish off the walk way do not forget the trawlers, and pleasure boats gut, and clean the fish and disgard the filleted bodies of fish in the marina.
plenty for the fish to thrive, and the lobsters and crabs are well fed, they also have eel traps and again some cracking eels.

 

most of the fish we ever caught in there were down the side of the walls plenty of wrasse in there

 

quite understand possible damage to boats, but wasnt actually boat owner that complained. was guy that run the walk on water balls.he has a very serious attitude problem, we were at least 50 feet from him and probably ,further from any boats

 

ya better off round near the travel lodge you wont realy get bothered there

 

hi there were abouts is jacksons bay?

 

Basically its the Marina at Hartlepool. Jacksons Landing is the empty shopping complex in the middle of it. It has a footpath all the way around it which would allow fishing staright into the marina. I have often wondered if any fish are in the marina and I might be tempted to have a bash now.
