Sun and Moon Times

The sun will be at it's highest point at . Today we have 17:10 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 -8 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 Newcastle upon Tyne

Newcastle upon Tyne fishing revolves around the River Tyne and its tidal reaches, backed up by a network of stillwaters and easy access to the North Sea. The lower Tyne through Newcastle, Gateshead and out towards Tynemouth is a mixed fishery holding flounder, codling, coalfish and whiting, while upstream beats and tributaries carry brown trout, grayling and coarse species. Shore and boat anglers can also tap into North Sea cod, ling and summer mackerel within a short drive of the city.

Seasonal patterns on the Tyne are pronounced. Through late autumn and winter, codling, coalfish and whiting dominate the lower river and estuary. After heavy seas, coloured water pushes fish upriver, making quaysides and deep bends around Dunston, Elswick and Walker good targets with ragworm, lugworm or frozen crab. Spring sees more school bass, flounder and eels, with a steady build of coarse fish numbers upstream. Summer brings dense shoals of flounder right into the city, along with occasional mullet and roaming bass. On the North Sea side, mackerel show off Tynemouth and the piers from roughly June to September, with the better cod and pollack catches moving slightly deeper offshore over wrecks and rough ground.

Habitat types range from deep, man‑made quay walls and bridge stanchions to shallower mudflats and gravel runs. In the tidal Tyne, focus on deep eddies, bends, drop-offs and structure such as mooring posts and pilings. Flounder particularly favour soft mud and sand edges where side streams enter, while codling sit on broken ground, rubble and any rough patches close to the shipping channel. Further west, the Tyne transitions to a mixed game and coarse fishery, with faster runs and deeper pools holding grayling and trout, and steadier glides and backwaters providing pike, perch and roach habitat.

Techniques for the lower Tyne around Newcastle are dominated by bait fishing. Standard beachcasters and 12–15 lb mono or 30–40 lb braid cover most quayside work. Use two‑ or three‑hook flapper rigs baited with ragworm, lugworm, mackerel strip or crab for flounder, whiting and codling. Size 1–2/0 hooks are ideal for mixed bags; step up to 3/0–4/0 when specifically targeting better cod. In snaggy stretches, switch to a pulley rig with a grip lead and keep end gear streamlined to minimise tackle losses.

For urban flounder fishing, lighter approaches excel. A 9–10 ft estuary rod with 10–15 lb braid, running ledger rigs and small size 2 hooks allows long, accurate casts across channels. Cast uptide, gently tightening as the lead holds bottom, and watch the rod tip for small knocks that often develop into slow, dragging bites. In calmer conditions, drifting a small spoon or jig along the bottom can pick up bonus flounder and school bass.

Upstream coarse and game fishing responds well to float, feeder and lure tactics. For roach, perch and mixed silver fish, pole or waggler tactics with maggot, caster or worm fished over small, regular groundbait feeds are effective. On deeper glides, cage feeders with groundbait and a short hooklength pick out better bream and chub. Spinning with small soft plastics, spinners or crankbaits works for perch and pike; concentrate on marinas, slack margins and any drowned structure. For trout and grayling, fly anglers do well with nymphs, spiders and small dries in clearer, faster water, especially during spring and early autumn hatches.

Boat anglers launching out of the Tyne or nearby marinas can target offshore wrecks and reefs for cod, ling and pollack. Use 20–30 lb class gear with pirks, shads or baited muppets worked vertically over wrecks, paying attention to drift speed and depth changes. On calmer summer days, lighter spin gear and small metal jigs will find mackerel and pollack closer to the surface, often beneath diving seabirds.

Across the Newcastle area, the most consistent results come from matching tactics closely to the river state and clarity. After rain and fresh water, target deeper holes and slower inside bends; in clear, low conditions, downsize hooks and line, and fish more subtly, especially for flounder, roach and grayling. Always carry a mix of baits and a couple of alternative rigs so you can quickly adjust to the Tyne’s changing tides and flows.

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 - 13.67956397564km , Jakey's Beach - 13.72430240919km , Whitley Bay - 14.04419184707km , Frenchman's Bay - 14.31348995177km , Marsden Bay - 15.20149409738km , Whitburn Bay - 17.0416609059km , Cambois Bay - 22.20225526458km

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 - 11.93956399116km, Cullercoats Harbour - 13.59962399839km, Sunderland Harbour - 17.05385938284km, Outer Harbour - 23.94675781889km
