I understand & respect the need to keep it quiet, the rivers so busy these days.

i have fished newark island few times in the winter, not had anything as yet. Perhaps see you down there one day. thanks for info.

 

(just got back from a 2 hr sesh on collingham, only had 1 bite, a barbel of about 5lbs. Rivers well up at the moment and pushing through quite fast though).

 

keep at em!

Steve try the back water on a long trot, or the sandy bank swims , on the main river , they are the deepest on the island at about 14 - 17 feet in depth I use pin tatcis with a Topper Haskins floast weight well down the line to cover more water than just straight ledgering, I have had my 9 lb er from Bobs island.
