advice on fishing at north shields fish quay

[dan1]

can anyone give me advice on fishing at north shields fish quay.

[parker]

A would fish it on smaller tides seems 2 b less snaggey with less movement and cast as far as a can

[Steve Bell]

Fish up by the Ice House you need a good chuck to clear the snags. I only ever fish the flood and take fish most times

[mickbrennan]

Take plenty of weights

[Cod,cod,cod!]

Big tides either side of low/high water.

You can fish all the way through on small tides.

Sept-oct best months for codlings.

A good chuck usually gives you a big advantage for codlings but not so necessary for coalies or whitings. It also avoids the snags.

also how deep is north shields fish quay

[g.ordon]

same as walkway, canny chuck into the middle. Best IMO couple of hours before high water, October- December and crab as bait

What he says...it's as deep as anywhere round here out in the channel especially since they dredged it last year to accommodate the bigger ships - at low tide I'd guess 35ft at least in the channel. I like it best when the tide's about 1m-1.3m or so and generally fish last hour of the ebb & first few hours of the flood. Also fishes well over high tide when the whitings are in.

Doesn't matter what colour the water is on the surface, according to one of the divers I spoke to when they were fixing it up a couple of years ago it was like bisto on the surface but he told me it was crystal clear out in the channel.

Best advice is if you see Curtis Dunn casting, choose a different mark.

Well what can a say use have heard it from danny moeskrops junior himself

[bandit]

last of the ebb & first of the flood single hook casting as far as you can with crab, baits don't have to be big either i prefer a 1/0 or 2/0 hook. Later on in the winter (dec jan) try lugworm, ragworm also fishes well when the ragworm are spawning in the river (you can see the worms swiming in the shallows and being washed up on the middens beach)
The river also fishes best during daylight the fish seem to stop feeding as it pulls in dark although it can fish well at times during darkness, a lot of freshwater/floodwater in the river also puts the fish off
