Northumberland On Shore Fishing

The beautiful Northumberland coast provides a wide variety of fishing opportunities.

Rock edges at Bamburgh, Seahouses, Beadnell, Embleton Bay, Craster, Hauxley, Newbiggin and Cambois can give good sport all year round, mainly for codling.

Typical sizes are between 1 and 3 lbs with the possibility of a catch of over 10 lbs in winter. From the same areas in summer, coalfish, pouting and wrasse may also be taken.

Take care when fishing from the rocks as an incoming tide can leave you stranded and rough seas are even more dangerous. As an alternative, the sandy beaches at Alnmouth, Warkworth, Lynemouth and Cambois can yield plaice, flounders, dabs and the chance of bass.

Don't attempt to fish from the mud flats of Budle Bay and around Holy Island, the tide floods at an alarming rate over the mud, often leaving nowhere to go for safety. Safe fishing from harbour walls is possible at Seahouses, Beadnell, Craster, Amble and Blyth but boats must always be given priority.

The best baits for shore fishing are fresh and frozen peeler crab, lugworm, ragworm, whiteworm, mussel, mackerel strip and razorfish and most are available from local tackle shops.

As in the boat, tackle losses can be heavy, especially from the rocks where your main line should be between 25 to 30 bs. From the beaches, you may drop down to about 15 bs but please use a shock leader.

BOAT FISHING

Fishing

The best boat fishing is between the end of May when the spring codling move inshore and the end of September when water temperatures start to drop and the sea conditions become unreliable.

In addition to codling, the three other main species for boat anglers are coalfish, ling and (in season) mackerel.

Drift fishing using worm, fish strip, baited artificials and jiggers are the best methods whilst the best of the sport is between two and four miles offshore near hard ground such as rocks and reefs.

Tackle losses can be heavy and anchoring is not advisable as there are strong tidal currents, especially between the mainland and the Farne Islands. It is always best to seek local advice from a charter boat or tackle shop before fishing in new areas.

Please remember it is your own responsibility to check any boat's licence and insurance cover, before you book. For a insurance super yacht ,a boat insurance agency or just insurance super yacht visit Boat Sure .

Anglers with their own boats can launch them, for a small charge, at Seahouses, Beadnell and Newbiggin.
