I'd have thought if anything it'll stir up all the yummy things the fish like to eat... I know it never seemed to affect the fishing in Blyth harbour when I was a kid when the dredger was back and forth.

if dredged regular no nastys are allowed to accumilate, when not dredged for a long time lots of nastys .it will prob not fishing on the head for quite awhile.

Years ago when they used to dredge the Wear with the chain buckets it was always a god send for anglers as it used to churn up the bottom. However earlier this year the Wear was dredged with one of the new suction types as on the Tyne & it killed off fishing for months.

This is one big eff off bucket, who knows what it will do? Maybe there's been studies done on previous, similar operations? "Small" scale natural disturbance of the sea bed is obviously good for fishing, this is not natural and as previously said could stir up more than a whole can of worms. I do know the slippery greedheads went back on a promise not to start dredging before precious and increasingly rare Salmon and Seatrout had got well past and on the way to their spawning beds. I hope there's plenty of beardy types out there monitoring the impact, hopefully it's ...... business as usual, possibly ...... get in there, maybe .........WTF! The whole projects designed to shunt more cars around slightly less slower so we can travel further and longer, to cacky jobs to be told we haven't got one anymore until the fatheeds have got there bank balances heaving again

On a mish

Just remembered - they held up works for a while on the tunnel because a seagull was nesting - I bet a pund that was down to the RSPB, it shows how ****poor the protection of fish is (and angling). No one gets to see fish and although beautiful, and described by PETA as "Sea Kittens" you can't cudddle them for too long. If anglers, riparian owners etc. .had the same representation (and money, wads and wads) as the RSPB things would be a whole lot different. And all because we like our creatures to be vaguely like us and be nice and not bother us too much and be readily seen - hence birds, cats, dogs, monkeys etc. fish, spiders, reptiles and rodents can get on their bikes and go ........
