Salmon!

[The Deeps]

Any lads or lasses on here go salmon and sea trout fishing?
Thats my main game,I fish on the Tyne and South Tyne during the season.When the close seasons on my club has comps on the sea and thats how I ended up on here
Its got to be said mind,sea anglers are even madder than the salmon lads,its all very well stood up to yer tits in a river in february but fishing off the rock marks in 60mph gales when its -8 really is nuts
I'm starting to like it

Hi Deeps. I fish for salmon and sea trout on the lower sections of the north and south Tyne. I’ll also chase the occasional trout there too. There’s always conflict for time with the river and boat season, then when they finish, the shore fishing is picking up and the cycle starts all over again.

How did you get on on the Coquet dazzer?I didn't get up last season but definately going next year.
I've been in the Fed since I was an eggThe Tyne beats had a good back end but then again,the whole river did,there were some monster fish came in from august onwards,saw a few of them caught aswell!

I had the worst season I've ever had.
Lost count on how many I hooked but lost the hookhold.
Only managed to land one fish, an 11lb sea trout.

aye like a salmon meselfits mainley stanhope weardale for me

I know what Dazzer is on about I lost loads of fish and only managed to bank my first seatrout on the 3rd of October, then that was followed by my first Salmon a fourteen and a half pounder the same day. I tend to fish the Wear but I hope to visit a few different rivers next season. Fishermen mad? never

I would rather be out freezing on a beach than watching the crap on the telly.

[The Deeps]

Loads of fish seemed to come off last season,maybe due to the fact that they were running straight from the sea for the most part.Their mouths are really soft until they've been in fresh water for a while and the hooks just dont get a good hold.Theres nowt worse than a good salmon coming off,who hoys their rod in when they do?I'm guilty
I probably lost twice as many as I landed last season but still ended up in double figures.Which is nice

[dazzer]

Funny that SteveG, my Birthday is 3rd Oct, my sea trout was caught on the 5th Oct.
On the 5th Oct 09 I landed a nice 13lb cock salmon.

2010 season 1 sea trout 11lb
2009 season 9 salmon (biggest 15lb)
2008 season 15 salmon, 4 sea trout (biggest salmon 11lb) (biggest sea trout 13lb)
2007 season 8 salmon, 2 sea trout (biggest salmon 9lb) (biggest sea trout 8lb)

Love that back end cock fish dazzer,they look amazing in the tartan coat
Did it gan much?
My birthday is oct 25th so took the day off work(as you do)and had a lovely 10 poond cock from just below Hexham.Probably the best fight I had all year,it went mental!You would think they'd be knackered by that time of year but as I said before,the fish were running the tide and they colour up in the estuary.Soon as they smell that back end autumn water,they get the horn and nature takes its course.Awesome

Aye it went like a steam train, took it on a prawn.
I had seen the fish move next to a fallen in tree, went straight to the spot and had a take first time through but it spat the thing out.
Second cast it meant it and went ballistic once it knew it was hooked, I could see it shaking its head with the prawn in the top of its mouth, I think I was shaking as much as the fish lol.
Took about ten mins to get it to the net.
If you look at the photo, behind me is a tree on an angle coming out of the bank, the tree just to the left that is lying in the water is the one I took the fish from.

[The Deeps]

Lots of people dont like the use of the prawn,but I'm not one of them!
If your faced with a low clear river and the fish are lying deep its probably the best(only?)method of getting among them.
I've had a bit of success using 1" floating devons also in these conditions,fished very slow with a 10g drilled bullet on a paternoster type rig
