Fishing the Humber

[Mally]

Hi Everyone,

 

I've done a little bit of sea fishing in the past when I lived in Scotland for two years but now I'm back home and this summer/winter I would like to getting out and do a bit, I live very close to the Humber but upstream (if thats the right term) of Barton, Can anyone recommend anywhere in this area to fish? I understand that under the Humber Bridge is quite a good spot, If so what would I be catching and how would you fish it and on what tides? I'm not to bothered about what I catch but a chance of somthing to take home and eat at the end of the day would be nice!

try the humber bank wall mally

 

flatties, eels, odd bass up towards grimsby

odd sole,

winter sees cod, whiting

i have always found the river fishes best on a biggish tide say a 5.8 (bridlington scale)

Thanks for the reply Macky, Where abouts on the Humber wall though as there is pretty much a wall along most of its length, are you talking about down at Stallinbrough? WOUld you use a rig with the lead tied to the bottom and two hooklenghts coming off the mainline furthere up using somthing like ragworm for bait?

any were along there mally

 

use 2 hook clipped down rig with rag, lug ,peeler crab.

 

fish the flooding tide and a few hours after top

 

i dont fish that side much as i am from hull

but i tend to head for the beaches across there as there is a run of smouthound due real soon
