Places to sea fish northwest

[DP1]

Hi All

Can anyone suggest any place to try seafishing in the Northwest? I live in Wigan and never fished before so I don't want to travel too far. Am I right in thinking you don't need a licence for sea fishing? I was thinking,try sea fishing and if I like it get my licence in March or April for course fishing. I would also be glad of any help regarding what I'll need,how to set up, what to do! (Like I said I've not done it before) Basically an idiots guide to sea fishing.

Hope someone can help!

Darren

Thanks Andy It's summat I'll look into that I was wondering if there was any estuaries Southport way, hadn't thought about Liverpool!

P.s Had the tarp up a few times and I'm really chuffed with it. Thanks again! Like I said at some point when I get some cash I'd like a jacket off you if you 're still doing them!

Quite a bit done off Blackpool.

You have the choice of boat or shore angling at most locations. It's rare to have a blank session off a boat with a good skipper. SHore fishing is hit and miss though.

Yer better fishing the Mersey, I've fished it for nearly forty years, had some lovely meals from it and not once have I lit up like a Belisha Beacon.

I've had double figure cod, some lovely sized plaice, the dabs make delicious eating and I like steamed whiting, it's all there for yer for nothing, just keep the place clean as we have some idiots who leave tons of rubbish here instead of taking it home or....believe it or not...throw it in the bins.

Fish just past the Albert Dock in Mariners Wharf, dead easy fishing with yer car a couple of meters away or further along at Jaguar House, unmissable, both superb fishing areas, if you blank from September onwards, you haven't put any bait on the hook.

Pm me if yer wanna know more.
