Fishing The Walkway on the River Tyne - Shore fishing UK 

Thanks, yeah its a bit of a shame that we are going to be stuck in for a while but it will make it all the more enjoyable when we can get out again. Frozen bait always comes in handy let's hope there's still some cod about when we can get back out.

Same here, just come back to UK after ages away, freezer has some nice bait in and we get locked down. Looking forward to getting down to my nearest marks around Seaham as soon as we can. Thank god we have excellent videos like Gary’s to keep us going. Iv just rebuilt a tiny little kids rod for my youngest, which is spot on for dropping a line over the side like this. Stay safe and healthy everyone.

Thanks mate, all the best.

Thanks Scott.

Hi Chris, I'm ok thanks. You too mate take care.

Thanks Steve, yeah will be looking forward to getting back out as soon as this is over... bring on the mackerel haha

Thanks Phil appreciate it 👍

Thanks mate 👍

Thanks liz, I bought it off amazon.

Thanks mate. Yeah will do soon as we are allowed out to fish again 👍

@@fishingintheukgarywood okay mate good luck !

Thanks 👍 they were size 4.

Thanks David. I'm not sure what will be around your local area but you could check you local fishing forums and that should give you an idea of whats getting caught local to you. I'm looking forward to mackerel fishing again this year they don't usually show up around here until June so its just a waiting game. Good luck with your fishing in the spring 👍

@@fishingintheukgarywood Thank you very much Gary ill take a look at fish forums. 👍

Thanks, if you have a local tackle shop they would be better to advise you on what rod and reel would be best for your budget. I just use the same old rod and reels that I've had for years.

Thanks Craig, usually fish roundabout the middle of the beach next to the green skeers.

Thanks mate, usually about 20ft.

Hi, yeah its fine to use a snap swivel. I just use the rig clips because they fit through the tip eye on my rod better. The Gemini genie link clips make it slightly quicker to change rigs.

Fishing in the UK thanks for this Was confused as on several pages lots of people use certain rigs etc ....and these gemini rigs seem to be popular.... any how keep up the videos as these helpful .

Hi Alex, I'm not sure of anywhere around port Carlisle but just up the road from there is Silloth and Maryport where you can park where you fish. Ive seen a couple of reports of rays being caught from Silloth over the last couple of weeks along with flattys and dogfish.

Hello mate, yeah Hebburn Riverside is good from the corner fishing into the middle of the river and if you follow the road just up from there is the second carpark and just past there is the grass bank all canny marks to try and close together.

@@fishingintheukgarywood cheers mate appreciate it

Hi Kyle, yes its worth a shot there should be some flounder in the river this time of year.

No mate not this weekend.

Usually around the end of May depending on weather and sea conditions.

Yeah theres always a few that spoil it for the rest of us. Its a shame because it was good place for night fishing.

You can park on river drive, next to South Shields sailing club, which is right next to here or the carpark next to the little haven hotel but its a bit further to walk from there.

@@fishingintheukgarywood Thank you very much, it gives me a couple of options to start with. I intend to fish the tidal water to learn my craft and maybe head to the piers and walkways as I get experience. I've fished the rivers for 55 years, so it's a case of transfering my knowledge to the saly water. Thank you. Alan.

My mate got it from Rutherfords it was left over from a previous trip.

It's river drive, south shields, NE33 1LH.

Yes I'm ok thanks Phil. Just been getting everything ready for when this lockdown is over.

@@fishingintheukgarywood you know you are allowed to fish as long as it’s local don’t you? We’re still busy selling bait and terminal kit to local anglers.

Yes I know I can go local but I usually find February to be the poorest month for fishing around here so thought might aswell get everything sorted for March. I'll be doing kayak fishing as well as shore fishing this year when I get all the bits together for that. Can people just turn up for bait from the shop or is it click/call and collect?

@@fishingintheukgarywood they can just turn up. We are fully open. We only have frozen unfortunately as it’s primarily a newsagents. Where are you thinking of going with the kayak. Someone had a sail fish a few years ago drifting for sea trout down past the leaze

Probably stay local in the kayak until we are allowed to travel again then Scotland and Wales.

Its a bit plastic tubing cut in half with two nails through it.

@@fishingintheukgarywood thanks will try and get me hands on some

Yeah its a handy thing to keep in your fishing box.

I thought we were on lock down

Check the angling trust website they have changed their mind about not being allowed to fish.

You don't need a license to fish the tidal stretch of the tyne from the mouth of the tyne up to about the Scotswood Bridge for normal sea fishing but you do need a license if you plan on fishing for sea trout and salmon.

@@fishingintheukgarywood cheers will probably be near north shields or tynemouth pier
