naaa.................

i fish all year round from the shore and have done for over 30 years.

if all your interested in is cod then yes the season is nearly over if it really got going.

but i dont just go .. cod .. fishing.

i like to go fishing.... for what ever is there.

if your prepared to move around you can also get cod all year around.

some believe through summer theres only mackerel, when they arive.

your so wrong. our summer fishing is for.

bass
mullet
dabs
flounder
plaice
coalies
whiting
mackerel
eels
cod


scale down change tactics and venues and theres plenty of fish about to catch.

stick a 4/0 and fish middleton all year around and yes its going to be desperate

 

I agree with Bill now the warmer weather is here i will be out fishing much more for anything that swims

i dont go fishing for COD i just go fishing

 

Ok, OK,

Kid yourselves if you must. BUT, in your heart-of-hearts, you KNOW what the score is.

I've used every technique: light tackle, float, spinning etc. over the decades
and It's simply not worth the effort for the scant reurn expected.

Don't forget, the title of the thread specifies the "North East". If you wish to go further afield or offshore, you will catch many and varied species but NOT at home!

Suggest you use your light spinning rod or float rod and venture up to many of the local lakes in our area for an excellent days "Trouting" starting at £10 for a good day's sport with a real chance of putting a couple of fish in the bag.

If any of the lads from the site want advice on trout tackle, venues and costs I'll be only too happy to oblige.

Cheors,

No ones kidding anyone. Loads of fish about long after the Cod have gone and using lighter tackle the sport is still there. Love just being close to the Sea regardless of time of year.Always lots going on around you as opposed to sitting alone by a pond.

£10 for a day to get 2 fish out of a puddle.

i,ll fish for nothing on the northeast coast all summer without blanking

if any of the lads want advice on how to sea fish right through the summer for a variety of species were here for advice.


seriously though. i,m not out to get at you and if thats how you feel your quite entitled to it. i know lots of sea anglers who turn to trout or carp through the summer. most are cod fishermen and not interested in anything else, so come the spring and summer there gear goes away until next winter.

Wotfettle Bob,

You make trout angling sound like a solitary occupation and the term "pond" suggests a "muddy hole in the ground". You couln't be further from reality.

Some of the venues which I have in mind are the bonniest in our area and the company , whilst not shoulder-to-shoulder is always canny.

I suggest you give it a go and I gaurantee you will be impressed by the surroundings, company and, if you are lucky, the quality of fish.

You can even use your light sea tackle on some lakes.

Gan-on, give it a go.

Cheers,

Well ive only fished a year and i gotta say i think there is far more sport in the summer. Just heading to the north of craster and beyond on nearly every rock mark there are fish waiting to be plucked from right under your rod tip and i would say that a 2lb wrasse/pollack etc give 100% more sport than your 2lb codling. Plus there aint all the waiting involved. Thats why it baffles me that some anglers turn to carp fishing in the summer guess they just must like waiting lol. As they so though horses to courses

 

you could always buy a day licence few£ then spend is it £18 for derwent ??


and catch **** all

i know i used to fish it and since don coe took over its gone down hill


6 years ago the fishing there was great now its pants :schmoll:

 

oh your so wrong mate theres great fishing all year round from our shores

 

Surely there has got to be some good rock fishing up your way on the kelp marks for the red cod under settled weather? I love getting out on the rocks on a nice hot day with a bucket of fresh peeler, pack the telescopic spinning rod too and have a pop at a few mackerel and pollack too. On the holderness beaches the best of the seasons fishing was in april last year with cod bass doggies and skate all coming out in the same sessions. Then in may,june and july some of the rock marks were throwing up 3-6 codling a session up to 4lb. Dont pack your gear away too early!!

 

Are there any conger to be had from the rocks of Yorkshire and the NE in the summer months?

 

Hi 4D, started Sea fishing at 13 and at 16 started Coarse & Trout fishing. Loved it but remember it as very quiet & peacefull. Stopped altogether a few years later and only came back to Sea Fishing about five years ago regretting every lost year.Might give the Fly a go again when i pack in work in a few Months time though. A mate of mine in London comes up now and again and is well into it.

Cheers. Bob.

If "cost" is the main objection, then let's not forget that for a day's or night's Winter Sea fishing, I usually buy a six or seven bags of rag or lug plus ancilliary bits and pieces. Whereas you can get a days fishing at a beautiful picturesque natural lake for £10.
Pus a middle of the range "trout outfit" is around half the cost of a similar sea version.

Please don't quote The Derwent as most anglers whoI know wouldn't patroniise the place.

I like to think that I have a diverse outlook towards angling and I am not "blinkered" towards other peoples views.

I still love my sea fishing and catch more than my share, but it' a pleasant change
to spread your wings a bit.

All I'm saying is "give it a try"

Cheers,

4D

Wocheor Again, Bob,

I fish the fly almost all the time unless I've got my Grandson with me, then we use worming tackle (he tends to catch mair than me)

If you are serious aboot having a go when your mate from London comes up, I can recommend one or two venues which will not break the bank and which offer good fishing in beautiful surroundings.

I'm reluctant to give names over the open site as the venues could become over patronised.
However, if you P.M. me nearer the time , I'll let you know.

Cheers,

Cheers mate. Will bear that in mind.

Bob.

I aint even getting into this debate, lol,But i will say this,Bill is 100% correct

ditto mate...all i can say is you cant beat a bit of macky bashing

 

How can you say that its over, for me its just starting. I used to fish all summer and pack my gear away for the winter and not fish till april time again. Now i fish all year round and enjoy every second of it wether i catch a fish or not it dosent make a differance to me. Every winter i cant wait for the summer months, and every summer i think itll come round again soon enough and there is always chance of a big cod. If i only catch a small whiting i couldnt care less a fish is a fish to me.

I look at it this way, all the fish in the ocean all around the world and i caught that little fish, now that makes me feel proud wether it be a cod in the winter or a mackeral in the summer, a fish is a fish no matter what size it is or what time of year.

Well, I suppose that's one point of View (among many)
BUT thirty years of diary keeping suggest, very strongly, that catching worthwhile fish, locally, from the shore in Summer is statistically, not likely to happen!

However, I hope your optimism pays off.

When you say worthwhile fish what do you mean???

 

When you say worthwhile fish what do you mean???

Don't YOU know?

 

Every fish is worthwhile to me, im asking you what you think a worthwhile fish is???

And dont patronise me....

Well, what started off as a good and reasonable discussion has just degenerated into a third-form wrangle. What's the next stage "Kindergarten"?

 

What are you talking about?????

I simply asked a question, In your opinion what is a worthwhile fish?

Let me guess, a big fat monster cod. You dont need to answer i allready know.
But what is the differance between a big fat monster a cod and any other fish??
