Help- East coast fishing this week!!

[Deleted]

Please can anyone help? I'm planning to fish somewhere on the East coast this week- Whitby, Scarborough, Brid' area. I plan to fish four hours pre high tide and maybe an hour after if there are mackerel around. My question is where's fishing well right now and what tactics, bait etc will i require and what fish can we hope to catch?
I have carp rods and reels with 12lb mono (which will get a good lashing with the hose pipe when i get back), I plan to get a bit of gear from my tackle shop this week, weights, hooks etc, what do you suggest is best?, and maybe pick some bait up when we get to where we're going. I realy fancy Whitby buy i've never fished there before from the pier so not sure of the best approach!
any advice will be most welcome!! Thank you!!

there has nout bein much out lately but u really shunt use them rods and reels do you have shock on your reel fish with my cousin he used a carp rod on brid pier flat as out ad it was bouncing around like hell i use a daiwa tdss 12ft and a daiwa emcast evo loaded with 18lb mono and an 80lb shock leader a m8 of mine used blueys the other day and he was gettin good dogfish on it but fresh crab and squid will work as fo location think poo pipe is worth a go or withernsea if you want an easier place to fish brid pier with a 3 hook flapper with a mackerel bait is worth a go lots of flatties of there mackerel is defo the best bait i would say but if u want sea fishing this is a good forum to go on www.macky1.proboards30.com

If you go to whitby mate you'll have to fish on the bottom deck of the pier, its banned on the top during summer, the tackle you have is ok for mackerel, i'd recomend feathers or the little silver fish shaped lures
