Wow what a fish

[FluffChucker]

Pig

Tynemouth Pier! (still the river though!)

[greggthe1]

Don't think it was caught on Tynemouth Pier like. He was fishing a Hartlepool club match in the river somewhere.

[FluffChucker]

I know exactly what he was fishing. How many times do you see people catching fish from 'a lower tyne estury mark' because they dont want people knowing they were fishing tynemouth pier!

[greggthe1]

I could be wrong but i've had from a very good source that it was a bit further up the river than the pier. Not much further up tho

[zippie]

what does it matter about where its from ??? well done mate

[FluffChucker]

I don't see how much of a big secret it is!!!!!!! Stop people going and catching all the 27 pounders in the river?!!?! HAHAHAHA

Can't catch whats already be caught!!!!

[tonynufc]

ok lads it was caught at smiths dock, it was definately not tynemouth pier.

alan you know what its like, everytime there's a good fish caught in the tyne its always tynemouth pier/ lower tyne that gets the blame

[The Plum]

theres a place on the river tyne that has produced a lot of doubles[not long ago] and a good few big ones caught [and its well upriver from the pier],if you fish the tyne ect youd know about the mark,so you see big fish do get caught up rivers many a time folk who think youve got to be on a pier to catch fish im sorry you dont

What amazes me is .....if a report of a big fish comes in then the venue is swamped , WHY ??


I know that a known mark can more often than not throw up a good fish or two but if a mark that isn't known for it throws up a fish it gets mobbed anyway .


Are people so stupid to think that one big fish means that the mark is teaming with lunkers .


I have heard of people taking bags of quality sized fish from a mark ,all in a session , my reckoning is that a shoal has passed through or is feeding in the area for whatever reason.

It's like people chasing a storm ,if it's reported that it was there last night ....... would it have to be there the next night ??

[tonynufc]

there's a mark up the walker area that always throws out a double every year.
