Those little codling are very tasty. I used to catch (1980's) several in an hour session right next to North Shields Fish Quay. Literally not casting, just dropping the bait straight down and up one turn from the bottom. Size 10 coarse fishing hooks with small slivers of squid bait or white bait cat treat. Don't know if they are still sold. A couple of those little codling, fried in butter with some potato fritters, make a nice lunch.
Well done on getting out again buddy, no wonder you were feeling rough with what was approaching for you, the dreaded manflu!! Thanks for sharing, i genuinely love watching and listening to your presentations! Hope youre feeling well now Darren... Looking forward meeting up somewhere in the new year!
Cheers Dave. I managed another 2 vids before it took hold 😅. It's a kind of illness progression diary 🤣. We shall meet up some point in this year when I pop down my chum. All the best 👍
Cheers Anthony. I am recovering well thank you. It's lovely to get out isn't it. Fish , no fish, small fish, the wrong fish! , is all irrelevant when your out having fun 😁.
@ glad to hear that mate. You’re not wrong there mind. I seem to be the first one no fish… haha but it’s about clearing in the mind and blown them cobwebs away.
aye i remember fishing the rubber compeny in northshields never had anything big off there but had a few bag fulls talking about northshields did you ever fish off lloyds hayling station after the top was taken off or did you have more sense lol colefish pollock and macky in the summer codling in the winter i even went night fishing off there .i know mad 1983 i fell off there in 1989 i hung on and climbed back up and never went back on hance im still here haha
Hi Richard. I did indeed fish Lyodds jetty. My pb Coalfish to this day was caught there in daylight. Mackerel strip. Came in at a whopping 5lb 3oz! Had to lift it with an old Milbro glass fibre rod!
@@northeastangling wow thats a big colefish when i started going on there i was 17 in the june borrowed my m8s gear could only fish down the side load of colefish of couse i was hooked at that point and could not wait to try lloyds in the winter but it had to be dry i caught a 2.8lbs codling and a 3lb colefsh but something down in the depths under lloyds something big grabbed my line we could not pull it up it smashed my m8s spinning reel so we had to handball it up it was like a diver yanking the line then the line snapped 25lb test i was gutted i reckon it was a big conger it was going nuts .i know it soungs like a fishermans tale but im telling you its the truth
@richardsales6996 when that pipe was working there were some big fish mate. The Tyne was the same, when it was dirtier the cod fishing was fantastic! Thanks for sharing your memories 😊
Hello mate right on my doorstep that mark fished it for a lot of years , new tackle for Xmas penn tidal xt long cast cracking reel a great spot on the river is the copthone hotel on the qeuyside
Great video today happy new year to you is well . Hope you had amazing Christmas. Just a quick question do you no when spring tides start because I was hoping to fish low tide next weekend at cresswell
Google , Tide Times Cresswell. Then chose your day based on the tides your after. To be honest. I prefer a small to medium tide for flatfish and the larger springs combined with a rolling sea for Cod and Bass. All the best 👍
My missus walked by you last week when you were fishing Hebburn (next vid?), i was fishing shields pier at the time and she text saying “I think that fella you watch on UA-cam is fishing down the river”, told her to say hello, but she didn’t want to interfere with your vid. All the best for the new year mate
Nice one, I fish there quite alot. I'm partly disabled so it's ideal is there any chance you could put the postcodes of the other easy access marks you fish, many thanks ALAN
Enjoyed that mate. Shame you didn't get among the target species, but at least you had some fishy attention. Guess this was the start of your illness dude. Get well soon fella. 🎣

Hope you’re feeling better. Had some decent flounders and whiting on the 23rd.
Getting there now thanks Phil 👍. You must of caught them all ! 🤣🤣.
All the best. Catch up soon.
Didn't you notice the jetty by the marina? A much better spot especially at low tide when you can cast into deep water near the middle of the river.
Once again a great video never disappoint me with the Content hope you catch some quality fish this new year mate 😎🎣
Thank you so much . All the best to you too for the New Year.

Thank you for watching. I will look into adding the info to the vids for you 😉. Tight lines my friend.
streaming can give a lone fisher person a sense of security in case of emergency.
Hi Anthony, indeed. Although the only emergency of that day was me getting home to tuck into the Christmas hamper! 🤣🤣
Enjoyed that mate. Shame you didn't get among the target species, but at least you had some fishy attention. Guess this was the start of your illness dude. Get well soon fella. 🎣
Hi bud. Didn't realise it at the time. Another two vids before I finally sucumb to the "dreaded Man Lurgey! " 🤣🤣
@northeastangling hahaha well I look forward to them buddy
