Off to the walkway for a few hours

[sean start]

You can still fish the walkway even on bigger tides. So long as you use a decent grip lead and cast up into the tide, let a large bow of line out and you should be fine. I very rarely lose any gear there aswell.... maybe 3-4 leads over the whole of last winter.

I wouldn't bother with Hebburn... with all the boat moorings you will struggle not to get tangled.

You can always fish the 44 mark on SSP. As it is behind the blocks the tide run doesn't effect you too badly so would be one of the better spots to try mate. Good luck wherever you go!

Ill just head down the walkway mate and use grip leads. Just hooked the mould out today so that will do nicely. Fingers crossed there is a few fish knocking about.

As Phil says, there are almost always fish there... I have never EVER blanked in maybe 75-100 trips over the years! Had some nice fish in the winter too but loads of smaller stuff this time of year. So long as you throw your lead up river / down river into the tide and let plenty spare line out the tide run should be manageable mate..... best of luck!!

Sound mate, cheers. Gonna get some rag and I may take some mackerel down as well on another rod to see how it goes.

Plenty flounder, dab, small whiting, small codling this time of year.... a few coley and the odd dogfish aswell..... even the odd guest appearance of a lobster!!

You will catch with anything mate..... loads of fish about... don't be scared to cast REALLY short or drop it down the side when the tide is in... Had a 3lb codling last winter on my spinning rod less than 5m out!!

as sea troot mentioned fish wider parts of river on big tides. personly i would try right handside of mill dam its about widest par of river,not many people fish there and its a canny shot. couple of years ago well know angler (alex harvey) was runner up in s/s open fishing that area. its also nice place to fish. ps, watch it be chocker saying as ive mentioned it on foram. tight lines.

A good couple of hours mate

I was just gonna take down some rag on the weekend. Think it may be best to get some crab and use rag and crab?

It just crab alone?

just crab mate,but you will only be able to fish 2 hours over low water and the same over high as the tide will make the rest impossible .
