River Tyne South Shields (Call Center) 7th June 2012

I headed down to the Tyne for an evening session last night fishing over high water. It was overcast as I left the house but the forcast said rain later so I put on my waterproofs. When I arrived it was busy and all the best marks were taken (bloody school holidays :D ) so I set up on the corner between the two call center buildings. I pulled in a flounder first cast 27cm. I thought this could be a good start to a canny session but it wasn't to be and I had nowt for the next three hours. The heavens opened the wind got up and the rain came down persistently for the rest of the session. Just as I was thinking of packing up I caught another flounder slightly larger than the last one at 29cm then a short while later a third but very small one. I fished for another hour but with nothing biting and the rain pounding off my hood I decided to call it a day. So the final score was three flounders. All caught on rag.

well done for sticking it out mate, outs better than nowt! :) We water proofed up yesterday & had a go at Claxheugh rock which is normally a great little spot not for us we blanked but our mate pulled 4 in(all flounders)
 
nice session mate ,had a sneaky session the other afternoon along deptford the river wear had 4 size flounders out in a couple hours ;)
 
Canny session mate, on a horrible night. If I'm not mistaken it was me that set up opposite you on the Spirit of the Tyne. I fished till 12.30 and blanked. My 4 mates had 9, 8, 4 and 3 between them. I was using fresh crab, rag and mussel baits, the same as they were. Funny old sport this fishing lark!
