Location Highlights & Access Routes

General Information

Stallingborough Wall, known locally as “Stally Wall, Humber Wall & Immingham Wall,” offers a unique sea-fishing experience on the south bank of the Humber Estuary.

 On quieter days you can spread out along the wall’s low parapet, but during the busier tides getting in early is key to bagging your favourite peg.

Be mindful that some spots are prone to snags. Don’t forget a small folding stool or ladder to make access comfortable, and always keep an eye on tide times—the Humber can sweep in faster than you’d expect.

Access

st, car park, Anthony's Bank Rd, Cleethorpes, DN35 0PL

This mark is roughly a 25 Minute drive from Squids In! SEA BAITS which is ideal if your needing last minute bait and tackle. 

With easy parking and a firm track leading you right to the top of the concrete sea wall, you’ll find long stretches of open water to cast into. This is one of a few sea fishing venues where you can literally fish out of the back of your car if you wanted, perfect for those long winter nights.

FAQ's

Frequently Asked Questions

Absolutely. You can park right on the seawall and fish straight from the back of your car if you wish. If you’d like to drop down to waterside level, a lightweight fishing ladder can help you climb safely over the wall.

Not on the main wall—most of the bank dries out at low tide. However, some spots stay fishable throughout the tide cycle.

General rule of thumb, for bigger tides head for the lower numbered bays. On smaller tides head for the higher numbered bays. 

Fish can be found anywhere from 10–20 yards out to beyond 100 yards; the trick is to vary your casting distance until you locate a good tide run.

Leave No Trace

Take Your Rubbish Home.

Please remember that every piece of litter you leave behind—from empty bait wrappers to broken line and snack wrappers—diminishes the beauty and health of our fishing spots. When you take away your rubbish, you’re not only protecting the fragile estuary ecosystem and its wildlife, but you’re also ensuring that fellow anglers can enjoy a clean, welcoming environment on your next visit. Leaving no trace means fish habitats stay unpolluted, and birds and marine creatures aren’t put at risk by discarded plastics or nylon.
