Current Fishing Weather
Wind Speed and Direction
Wind Direction:
Wind Speed:
Wind Direction and Speed are one of the most important aspects for choosing a fishing spot. An offshore wind can help land-based anglers with longer casting distances, while an onshore wind will make kayak fishing safer. Often fish will also move to certain feeding areas depending on the wind direction. Check out the long term wind forecast at the charts below.
Fishing Barometer
Atmospheric Pressure:
Change since midnight:
Trend for next 6 hours:
Atmospheric or Barometric Pressure affects fish activity. The best fishing can be had on a rising barometer and also the time just before it is falling. A steady barometer in the higher ranges can also mean good fishing. A falling or low barometer reading without much change is usually not a very good time for fishing.
UV Effect on Fishing
As a rule of thumb, the higher the UV index, the deeper fish will move. Shallow water fishing is best done at times with a low UV index. When the UV is high, stick to early mornings, late evenings and shaded areas. The effect is less noticable in deeper water, but often a higher UV index can produce good results in the deep.

Fishing Overview Gateshead
Gateshead fishing is dominated by the River Tyne and its tributaries, backed up by productive ponds and small commercials scattered around the borough. The Tyne runs right past Metrocentre and under the famous bridges towards Newcastle, giving urban access to salmon, sea trout, coarse fish and some solid winter grayling without driving miles into the countryside.
The River Tyne around Gateshead is primarily a migratory game and mixed coarse fishery. Salmon and sea trout runs build from late spring, with July–October the prime window. After summer rain lifts the river, focus on pinch points below weirs, bridge aprons and the tails of deeper runs. Spinning with Flying Cs or 10–20 g spoons works well in coloured water, while on clearer, lower levels fly anglers do well with small doubles, shrimp patterns and micro-tubes swung across the current at first and last light.
Coarse species such as chub, dace, grayling, roach and perch provide consistent sport. Late autumn and winter are excellent for grayling and dace on the faster, gravelly sections, fishing light stick floats or bolo rigs with maggots or pinkies. In steadier water, a small block-end feeder packed with crumb and a maggot or worm hookbait will pick out perch and roach. Chub respond to bigger baits—bread flake, cheesepaste or luncheon meat—presented tight to cover: bridge pilings, overhanging trees and any rough stonework are all key holding areas.
The Tyne also carries some pike and eels, most often encountered in slower, deeper pools and dock-like margins. Deadbaiting with smelt, sardine or half mackerel, kept mobile with a drifter float in light winds, is effective in the colder months. Use robust wire traces and unhooking gear, and scale up to at least 15 lb mainline to cope with current and debris.
Tributaries like the River Derwent offer a more intimate setting for brown trout, grayling and small chub. From April to September, dry flies such as Klinkhammers and small olives pick off rising fish in the glides, while tungsten nymphs under a short leader score in pocket water. Spin anglers do well with 3–5 cm soft plastics or small inline spinners, especially in early season or after a rise in water levels.
Gateshead’s stillwaters and ponds provide reliable coarse fishing, particularly through summer. Carp, bream, roach and tench respond to method feeders with micro pellets and small wafters, or margin pole tactics with corn, pellets and worms. Pre-baiting a tight area and feeding little and often is crucial in these often pressured venues. On warm evenings, surface fishing with dog biscuits or floating pellets can tempt better carp that patrol the top few inches of water.
Throughout the year, adapt to seasonal patterns: fish shallower, faster water in spring as levels drop and fish spread out; in high summer, focus on shaded lines, early and late sessions, and oxygenated runs below riffles; in winter, slow down presentations, use smaller hooks and baits, and target the deeper, slower bends and pools where fish shoal up. By matching tactics to conditions and exploiting the mix of river and stillwater options, Gateshead offers consistent and varied fishing for visiting and local anglers alike.

Beaches and Bays are ideal places for land-based fishing. If the beach is shallow and the water is clear then twilight times are usually the best times, especially when they coincide with a major or minor fishing time. Often the points on either side of a beach are the best spots. Or if the beach is large then look for irregularities in the breaking waves, indicating sandbanks and holes. We found 7 beaches and bays in this area.
King Edward's Bay - 13.50397879872km , Frenchman's Bay - 13.75081553821km , Jakey's Beach - 13.77787486011km , Whitley Bay - 14.16189967718km , Marsden Bay - 14.54710897869km , Whitburn Bay - 16.01659904602km , Cambois Bay - 23.11841706782km
Harbours and Marinas can often times be productive fishing spots for land based fishing as their sheltered environment attracts a wide variety of bait fish. Similar to river mouths, harbour entrances are also great places to fish as lots of fish will move in and out with the rising and falling tides. There are 4 main harbours in this area.
Shields Harbour - 11.57524809377km, Cullercoats Harbour - 13.63572246365km, Sunderland Harbour - 15.88795525168km, Outer Harbour - 22.55045478824km
