River Tyne

[lee2010]

Fished the river tyne last night next to royal quays, caught two cod the 1st about two pound and the 2nd around the 3lb mark, got a massive slack liner off the 3lber then pumped it in thinking it was gone be a decent fish but turned out to be foul hooked in the belly we had bites every cast but jyst couldnt seem to hit them but it still turned out to be a great nights fishing.
Bait used rag,blacks,crab,mussell and squid which i got the 3lber on

sounds like a good sesh mate. Frustrating when you cant connect with the bites. A 2 and a 3lb is good going so well done.

Tyne

Cheers lads, al defo be goin back soon, its the 1st time i have fished that part of the Tyne, normally head to the riverside park, seems like a better chance for bigger fish at the royal quays and seemed a bit deeper, nt sure if im right or not like

[jlhooker]

at least ye got fish

If the riverside is where the British Airways is it is to far upstream for Cod. Ideal for Flounders though.

Well done, that's a good catch. The RQ area can be shallow if you fish out of the main river.

Do you know if there are pics like this for rest of river?

[Thunderpants]

That's a really useful map, thanks for that. How do the numbers relate to depth? If its a big 6 and a small 4 next to it does that mean 6 to 4 metres depending on the tide???

[Kev1n]

The bigger number is meters and the smaller is tenths of meters so big 6 little four means 6.4 metres. That’s the minimum depth at low water on the biggest spring tide. Dredging will change some of the readings but it gives an idea of the profile.

BestNest, the chart is from Memory Map Marine it doesn't go much further up river and down river is pretty much one dredged channel. Where did you have in mind?
