Dredging the Tyne

[Pete from shields]

We have all seen the dredger out about close to the piers the last few days, now they are making the Tyne deeper for bigger ships, my question is and I am probably going to answer it myself lol but will this make the Tyne unfishable until the water settles.

I will have to head down to the marine park for a boat lol, yeah I thought with the water being dirty and everything hoovered up the fish will move out. Wasn't so sure but guess I may give the Tyne a miss for a bit.

the dredger is taking everything up bill hope it stops soon as for the water its usually better when its brown usually alot more crab in the tyres but as the dredger is hoovering the lot up only a few are getting thru there getting doggers in the pots which has never happened b4 m8

was talking to a lad last week about the dredger and he was saying when they dredged the wear a couple of years back it took months for it to return to fish as it had been before

I guess this explains why I have had so many blanks fishing the Tyne the last couple of weeks lol

[BestNest]

Ive fished the Tyne twice in the last fortnight and drew blanks both times...on the Groyne aswell...

it would be diffrent if the dredger was in over the winter the fishing would be poor but when you get a fresh run of cod off the seas this probs wont efect the cod because the dredger would of been and gone

[paulgalon]

the dredger couldnt work in the winter m8 have u seen the swell coming thru the piers in the winter?thats why they leave it until the summer it wouldnt even work in the summer when theres a sea on
