Middlesbrough, on the River Tees close to the North Sea, offers varied fishing from urban river stretches to productive shore marks and nearby stillwaters. Anglers target everything from Tees bream and perch to Hartlepool and Redcar cod, whiting and mackerel, making Middlesbrough a strong base for both coarse and sea fishing in North East England. read more...

Sun and Moon Times

The sun will be at it's highest point at . Today we have 17:4 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 -26 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. The graph below shows you the 3 hourly weather progression over the next 7 days. Scroll the graph left or right to see more.

Fishing Overview Middlesbrough

Fishing around Middlesbrough revolves around the River Tees, its docks, and quick access to the Yorkshire and Teesside coast. You can fish tide-influenced river stretches minutes from the town centre, then be on open beaches and rock marks near Redcar, Saltburn and Hartlepool in under half an hour. This mix gives year-round opportunity, especially for anglers who are flexible with tides and weather windows.

Seasonal patterns are clear on both river and coast. Autumn and winter are prime for sea anglers, with cod the main draw from rough ground and piers when northerly seas stir things up. Whiting and coalfish pack in on night tides, especially around December–January. Spring sees more mixed bags – flounder in the Tees, plus the first plaice and school bass from cleaner sand. Summer is about mackerel shoals off nearby piers and rock marks, along with pollack, coalfish and the occasional smoothhound or ray on crab baits. On the Tees and local stillwaters, coarse fishing is strongest from late spring through autumn, with bream, roach, perch and carp feeding well in warmer water.

Key habitats include the tidal Tees, dock walls, and nearby beaches and rock scars. The urban Tees offers deep, slow sections with bream, roach, perch and pike, especially around bends and any structure such as moorings or pilings. Downstream, the estuary edges and mudflats hold flounder on a flooding tide. Just outside Middlesbrough, surf beaches around Redcar and Marske produce cod, whiting and flatfish, while rockier ground and kelp gullies east and west of town suit rough-ground cod and pollack tactics.

Techniques and tactics should match the venue and season. On the coast, a 12–13 ft beachcaster and 5–6 oz grip leads are standard for winter cod, with pulley pennel or loop rigs baited with crab, black lug, ragworm or squid. Aim to fish into gullies, reef edges or the back of sand bars on a flooding tide after a good sea, then drop line strength slightly and use two- or three-hook flappers when targeting whiting and dabs. For summer mackerel off nearby piers, simple feather rigs or small metal lures retrieved steadily through mid-water work well, especially at dawn and dusk on big tides.

On the River Tees, feeder fishing is effective for bream and roach. Use open-end or cage feeders with groundbait and a short hooklength, presenting maggots, worms or corn on size 14–18 hooks. Perch are common around structure; small jig heads, dropshot setups and worm-tipped floats produce steady sport. Pike patrol the deeper city stretches – deadbaits such as smelt or herring fished on wire traces are the staple, with lures working when the water is clearer.

Local tips: watch the wind and swell direction when planning coastal sessions; a dying northerly sea often fishes best for cod as it drops. Tide timing is crucial – aim to be set up 1–2 hours before the flood for both estuary flounder and surf beaches. On the Tees, coloured water usually helps coarse and predator fishing, while very clear, low river conditions often demand lighter tackle, finer hooklengths and smaller baits for regular bites.

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 8 beaches and bays in this area.

Seaton Carew Beach - 9.77851152443km , Redcar Beach - 11.15390756934km , Hartlepool Bay - 12.37726118154km , Tees Bay - 12.76108205327km , Shippersea Bay - 25.421274312km , Runswick Bay - 32.09207436833km , Whitby Beach - 39.20776444634km , Whitburn Bay - 40.89924928773km

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.

Teesport - 10.02695117813km, Hartlepool Marina - 12.98068426998km, Outer Harbour - 29.47194367287km, Sunderland Harbour - 38.83674240641km
