got there at 2pm fished the tide up just for a few hours with me dad. was really poor :-( 1 ting n a tiny flatty just down the side on me spinning rod. tide was roaring like rapids. 5oz gripper leads swung round into the bank within seconds. nevermind... got a chance to try my slosh 20 n shaky salt beach mx properly that I got off big g the other week, bloody hell it flies like! Im new to multis n it was landing just short of the boats on the other side with just a little overhead lob :-O. cant wait to see how far a can get it with a hard chuck. chuffed iv got a good piece of kit and for 70 quid for the rod+reel cant go wrong with that! ozzy

Yes agreed mate tyne fishes betta on small are middle tides not big tides that's what au think any ways

[mickbrennan]

If its a big tide fishing it out doesn't matter how far to the right you cast always pulls you into the wall even using a 6oz gripper

[ozzy37]

At least you got to try your new rod and multi mate and yeah the river is hard to fish on big tides I've fished lots of spots on the river and the only one I find not as bad on a big tide is the wide part at jarrow shell terminal

does the river fish ok when chocolate coloured

If you look on Google maps arial photo and if the scale is accurate (50ft is 24mm on my pc screen) then the distance from the edge to the boats is 97 yards.

At least you didn't blank Ozzy, nothing worse than a blanker.

I've caught plenty of whiting and flatties when the water has looked like oxtail soup mate.
