Some quantity of rain has fallen this week and high winds Friday Saturday, but fishing is good with most species through spawning , fish are hungry so some excellent catches are being recorded by pleasure anglers and match anglers.
Aiden Curry from Durham and his father from Cornwall spent a great day on Bowes and caught 32 carp between them as well as perch, tench, bream and orfe, they mainly used mussel but also tried Pellet covered in paste.
Gateshead’s Councils going for gold on Sunday did very well and was fully booked up, with new anglers learning and catching fish everyone caught with 15 in one hour being the most and a common carp of 4lb 2oz being the largest caught on Bassetts and everyone enjoyed the experience of fishing.
Lookout had Dave Turner from Gateshead fishing peg 15 and estimated he had over 200lb in a 13 hour session, he ended up coming down to have some hot food just to give himself a break, he caught carp first and last thing and silvers through the middle of the day with a ghost carp of 15lb 2oz as his biggest carp and a tench of 7lb 9oz also a 4lb 2oz bream as his best silvers.
