[jordy]

That`s a great fish for the river,come to think of it thats a good fish for anywhere.Wonder how many rods will be at hebburn over the next few days lol.

i,ve had fish to 6 1/2 off hebburn marina & seen them up to 7 bit i must agree it seems to be a bit of a jackonory.

I know of one over 8lb at gateshead under the redhugh bridge. He might have been scratching with small hooks and had a drop net just incase he hooked a decent one. I have to admit I sometimes use size 4s in the river when coaching and take a drop net but suppose there's not many others will do that. I reckon most people who didn't have a camera and caught such a fish would have taken it home, unless they've caught hundreds of doubles???

fished hebburn 4 times in december only seen small codling hooked

[Tompa]

Wasn't there a 10lber caught under the tyne bridge, last year or the year before??? Must admit i don't take a camera with me and some people actually do carry drop nets just in case :-)
