Thanks for all the comments....you will be glad to know the fish went back alive and is still out there for someone else to catch, this was my first attempt this year to catch one from the beach, just lucky this time I suppose!
What a fright I had when it popped out of the water, they look like something from the age of the dinosaurs, here's hoping more are caught soon and next time I will be trying for a Smoothound or even a great white, lol

Great Whites in the North Sea

Just because no great whites have been caught yet does not mean they are not there. Has anybody been out and specifically fished for them. lol

Great White.
Great White.
A number of sharks frequent the North East waters. The main ones are Tope and Porbeagle. Also with a very good chance of being there are Threshers, Makos, Six Gilled, Greenland and the strong possibility of the Northern Great White which is a cold water cousin of "Jaws". Rays are also members of the shark family.
The water temperature is thought to be too cold to hold Blue Shark, although somewhere in the house I have a photograph of a Blue that was found still alive in a rock pool at Newbiggin about 20 or so years ago. The fish was found by the son of John Laidler owner of Sports and Leisure at Blyth, if I can find it I'll try and put it on the site for you all.
Basking shark are often seen off our coastline but are plankton feeders, so are no danger to man nor fish.
We used to catch plenty of ray from the Durham beaches and from the boats about 40, 50 years ago. One of the "hotspots" used to be on the Blast Beach around the Hawthorn area. Tight Lines, Sam.
