Another decent session at Hebburn

[Dogrunner]

I'm no expert mate and people might have better methods but this is how I fish the Tyne.
2 rods. 13ft rod casted just short of the middle with a 2/0 or 3/0 hook on a pulley rig.
2nd rod 11ft and casted out about 10-20 yards with a two hook flapper, size 1 hooks and a lighter sinker.
Seems like one day the longer rod catches and next day the shorter one, best to cover both eventualities.
Crab is the best bait but lug is doing the trick at the minute.
Hope this helps and good luck.

Thanks for the reply Mark, useful information and very similar to how I fish.

I also end up catching on one but rarely the other, weird. Never quite have the guts to pull one back if I'm catching shorter mind you, I'm always worried that the bigger fish may be at distance though im not sure that's the case.

See you out there some time
