Hi
I've got 4 or 5 days work coming off in Hull soon, as I will be staying in B&B accommodation I thought it might be a good opportunity to get in some evening fishing. I wondered if anyone in the Hull area could recommend some fishing spots for me and perhaps advice me on preferred tackle and bait also what fish are about at the moment. I expect to be down week commencing 20th Sept and look forward to meeting some fellow anglers. I vaguely recall reading somewhere about a spot near Macro's, but that's all I can remember, perhaps someone could point me in the right direction. I'd appreciate any advice or suggestions, so thanks in advance. Cheers, Marty. |

I'd appreciate any advice or suggestions, so thanks in advance. Cheers, Marty. Hi, I live near Hull but have never fished so far up the river. Yes, people do fish along from Makro, but I believe that vehicular access has been blocked off now. I have seen people accessing the river behind the docks, but this will difficult to find unless you know exactly where you are going. A better bet in my opinion would be to try the village of Paull to the south of the docks in Hull. At the far end of the village (just going out the far side by a big radio mast, & just before Fort Paull) is a car-park right on the river side. This is a very popular angling spot, with the deep water channel fairly close in at this point. Most catches at this time of year seem to be flatties from here, with the majority of people using lug. The bottom is soft mud, with rocks right up underneath the car-park edge. A good bet for bait & more detailed advice is Hedon Angling Centre in the next village along from Paull (Hedon). If you feel like more of a drive to the coast itself, then try Withernsea, Holmpton (bit of a clamber down the cliffs), Kilnsea or Spurn Point. According to the reports http://www.netmorefish.co.uk/sea.html, cod, bass & flounder are all being caught, with the odd whiting & dogfish. Flatties are somewhat rarer unless fishing off Spurn.
