[john robson]

sounds like and would,nt mind giving it a go this place , but sounds as if good cast needed. now how do you do this with houses behind you for a few reasons i dont cast off the ground /south african or high inertia or brighten cast or whatever cast you call it, shame realy

Overhead thump,does the trick John,no need for massive distances,if you get the bait out 80 yards you can avoid the snags,stiil get fish closer in but less chance of getting it in :up22:
Well done Jim,canny report,and a canny session :up22:

From all accounts its shoulder to shoulder fishing on there at the moment , wouldnt feel safe doing or standing that close to anyone casting even overhead thumping just my oppinon though, but its lifting with small codling but they are getting hammered , over 100 codling came out one day soon adds up , these are your nuseries  for small codling and should be treated with respect

it may sound daft but when l return fish and it dont swim off it realy bothers me it pi--es me off a bit but most fish mange to swim off not like the trawlers who dump 100's or may be 1000's of tones of undersize fish thats heart breaking l like to think we as anglers dont put that much of a dent in the fish population as for casting im not the best of casters now and agian might get a good one in (overhead caster) ive fished for 44years and never had a casting lesson and manage to enjoy the sport of seafishing l would love to be able to through a lead some distance in some of the places ive fished without getting a birds nest or snap off l stick with what l know and had quite a few fish over the years only ever had one doubler 10lb 2oz loads just under 10lb never forget that night biggest buzz ever   :surf: :fish1:

Well done Jim,canny report,and a canny session :up22:

still a lot going for overhead thump.
prob i have is i like to use softer tipped rods in the tyne and this type of rod is imho not very good for overhead hit.
softer tipped rod lets the grip lead get a better grip so as you dont get pulled round as easy.

overhead thump brings back memories my old favourite rod the three piece martin james springheel by leslie moncrief.

first used this rod set u with alvey reel had some nice cod out of sea lochs with set up also used to fish seaham a lot with this also alongside dick shenton/eddie talbot/stan talbot /jim docherty etc etc

i have fished opposite side of walkway icehouse area sometimes you can fish a plain lead on a small tide so can imagine the same on the walkway .i was always taught fish wide parts of river on big tides ie mill damm types of area and narrower on smaller tides .

i just dont no why people dont like fishing the likes of the tyne ie river to me its exceptional fishing rarely failing.

first of flood always best for me.

Agree with first of the flood John,but on the bigger tides,the fish at the moment are not starting to feed until a couple of hours into the flood and the better fishing seems to be last couple of hours of the flood....no two days the same in the tyne though

definately will give the walkway a try this winter the water in the tyne and is very deep with plenty of salinity in water the fish just gets sucked in marvelous spot.

was going to try next to marine police at jarrow again last year but with dredger not to far awat thought it might spoil it. been told to fish it 3hrs on to bottom to 1 hr into flood casting north east .would of thought flood would of been best but by all accounts not.
