Last saturday I fished most ov the tide on its way in down harrisons old ship yard with nothing but 2 very small codling and I even foul hooked 1 ov them. Anyway off I went again friday 16th/11/12 this time I tried a favourite spot ov mine called the swinging area on the gateshead side oppisite where the spillers factory used to be,got there bang on low tide using peeler and ragworm I fished 2 rods as soon as the tide came flying in both rods were banging every cast producing small codling which after a quick photo they went back. Then after an hour ov the ebb I got a great bang on my left rod I reeled in what felt like a big fish but I was pulling against the tide but I'm happy coz I still broke my record for a codling out of the tyne 3 1/4 lb. Then it was a mad 2 hours the baits were just hitting the bottom and both rods were coming in with codling from 1lb to 1lb1/2 good sport and apart from my record breaker I managed to return them all safely. One more thing before I go, just before low tide there was 5 cormerents sitting 30foot out every dive they were coming up with fish.....!!!

Think I know the spot you fished, is it easy enough to get a line between the boat moornings? Always though it looked like you would get caught up with the tide pull...... nice fish though!

Hello aye the 4 boats are well to ya left and ya right when the tide is flying in I was getting pulled close to them,but that's where I was getting most my fish. And about getting ya motor beside the paint works you can still get it pretty close by but bollards have been put there,I've not heard of any one having any trouble leaving the motor the other side of the bollards.
