Walkway 5/4/2011

yeah, he did seem very close, with no attempt to move even slightly towards the middle of the river, and still caught my line dispite putting my rod tip down and into the water (yes it reached... 16ft rod haha) but still caught my line... might have been a different story if it was help up high, as if i didnt attempt to avoid getting my line caught.

I had to keep an eye out there after and was cautious with when i was casting... if he is trying to deture people fishing there, or fishing at distance? why? isn't possibly to be a asshole is it?
otherwise he'll find people lineing up with 10 leads and 10 shockleaders waiting for him to pass soon!

[Mad as a fish]

maybe he lives near by and has a problem with anglers fishing beside his back fence

Remote possibility mate, but logical.

Had a few chucks on the walkway today and a few lads doing there nuts over boats going over there lines, every so often you hear a scream "ya f***ing w***er" lol. Same further down the tyne near the south shields ferry landing, could hear lads over north shields screaming at the boats.

Shore Angling Issues....?

Sometimes it just can't be helped!
Take last Sunday as we were heading up river to Royal Quays, one of the Nissan car transporter vessels was leaving. We had to make way and come closer to the North side. To those fishing Smiths Dock and up river towards Royal Quays, apologies for hitting any lines but it was'nt intentional.

We had a problem yesterday where a small craft from royal quays (i think) came very close when we wre fishing brighams (Codgers corner). He or whoever only done this to avoid the tyne ferry coming in but he could of veared off to port and gone around it instead of making us **** ourselves as we didnt see hime coming...

Just noticed this is me 600th post... woohoo!!!

Blyth,s the same in the last 3 weeks ive seen the pilot take out 4 peoples lines , one lad lost an expesive rod and one lad fishing with his granbairns nearly lost his on sunday , the lad on the boat was shouting "how much of the river do you need" ive fished blyth for a few years now and he,s never come in that close untill the last month or so , so now i spend more time looking left and right than watching my rod for bites
