Sun and Moon Times

The sun will be at it's highest point at . Today we have 17:9 hours of daylight. For shallow water fishing the twilight periods are often the most productive fishing times, especially on days when a major or minor time will coincide with twilight. In low light conditions predators have better cover for their ambush and often hunt in shallow water.

We can compare the current moon distance to it's minimum and maximum distance from earth and express that as proximity. A high proximity means the moon is closer to earth. At 50% it would be at it's mean distance. A high proximity causes big tides, currents and has a direct effect on increased bite times. A proximity greater than 90% indicates a super moon.

Green and yellow areas indicate the best fishing times (major and minor). Blue areas indicate high and low tides. The center shows the current moon phase which is a Waning Gibbous at 86% lumination. According to the Solunar Theory, today is a average day for fishing, but you need to cross check this with the current weather forecast for a final decision. Today some bite times coincide with sunrise or sunset. Those will be particularly good times for fishing and are indicated by sun icons. Currently we have a minor fishing time. The next best fishing time ( ) starts in -8 hour and -12 minute. The gray time indicator displays the current local time.

For fishing, stronger tides are often favourable as they cause stronger currents and more motion on the sea bed. The above tidal coefficients give us an indication of how strong the tides are compared to their average. A value over 90 indicates very strong tides, known as spring tides. A low value indicates weak tides, known as neap tides. The tidal coefficient can range from 20 to 120 with a mean value of 70. A higher number usually indicates better fishing.

7 Day Fishing Weather

The weather plays an important role in fishing. Wind strenght and direction often determine where you can fish and where fish might be holding. Although high pressure is usually good for fishing, steep pressure changes often trigger feeding frenzies and are great times for fishing. Of course temperature has also a strong effect on fishing and comfort on the water. So make sure to cross check the weather forecast with the solunar fishing times to determine the best times to go fishing.

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.

Interactive Fishing Map for the greater Gateshead area

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
