LDR 29 Posted July 27, 2006 Report Share Posted July 27, 2006 I used to go out as a kid with me grandad prawning and shrimping round the rock pools and, we used to get shed loads of them....... ...... i've now moved to the north east and cant find anywhere to go for prawns in any decent numbers, also wanna find some spots for picking mussels (fresh or salt) and some razor clams, so do any of you know where i should be looking, i'm right next to whitley bay, but aint fussed about driving 50 ish miles if i'm gonna get a good result.............

hawkanddog 0 Posted July 27, 2006 Report Share Posted July 27, 2006 (edited) So, your in Gods country. Try Warkworth beach, North side of the river Coquet, runs all the way to South side of Alnmouth. Cross the the river heading North in Warkworth take first right follow signs to golf course, park at top. There was plenty of razor fish (shellfish) at low tide, bit of neat table salt down the hole, out they pop. Also was plenty of shrimp in the sand pools at this time of the year. Take a pan and a bottle of fresh water, make a fire with the drift wood and cook em on the beach, nowt better. You can catch some good flatties in summer, and decent codling in the winter. Oh I can taste them now........ May have a trip up myself Forgot to add, go a bit further North to Craster (where the kippers are from) walk along the front, towards Dunstanbourgh Castle, used to be mega mussels on the rocks and clean. Again cook em on the rocks Edited July 27, 2006 by hawkanddog Quote Link to post
