SIB Fishing UK At Its Best + Catch & Cook
The waters off Lands End offer some of the best fishing in the UK, the reefs are filled with life and a proper variety of species. The tricky part is getting there. In this video I undertake the 15 mile journey from Hayle, this is no small feat on an inflatable and the tide, weather and daylight hours have to be considered.
The fishing did not disappoint and once I got through the dense shoals of pollock I was able to catch one of my favourite UK species the Couches bream. I’ve really enjoyed the pursuit of this fish on lure and in my opinion they really are king of the reef.

SIB Fishing Set Up 2024 How To Transport and Improve Performance
Переглядів 8 тис.2 місяці тому
I’ve owned several inflatable boats that have been used for fishing, over the years I’ve had to experiment and find out what makes a good SIB and what equipment is needed for a comfortable day afloat. The past six months I have used the 380 aluminium deck boat from Maelstrom products. I have settled on this boat for its ability to withstand heavy conditions and constant use. I want to share my ...
Catching Huge Squid Inflatable Boat Fishing UK
Переглядів 7 тис.3 місяці тому
I’ve been waiting for the opportunity to fish some new ground offshore and a spell of decent weather meant I had to get out and see what could be found on lures. After a 10 mile cruise @ 12 knots I was surprised to find better conditions than forecast, a real rarity for me. The usual suspects were quick to the Crazy Paddle tails and Black minnows and once the tide slackened I had the chance to ...
Isle of Skye Fishing Expedition
Переглядів 12 тис.4 місяці тому
I’ve wanted to visit Skye for quite some time, the idea of getting a boat on the water and taking in the unique scenery whilst wetting a line really appealed to me. I loaded my VW Transporter with a 3.4m SeaPro and enough lures to last a lifetime and set off on a 1500 mile trip. The weather was always going to be an unpredictable factor, strong winds and heavy rain did make life challenging but...
This is my FAVOURITE SPECIES to catch on Lure - Inflatable Boat Fishing Cornwall
Переглядів 11 тис.5 місяців тому
I’ve been wanting to fish this area on the new Maelstrom 380 HD ever since getting the boat. It’s one of those places where you feel a lot more comfortable in a big SIB and you can really get stuck into the fishing. I really wanted to fish big soft plastics on this session, not only does allow you to fish directly with the lure in fairly deep water, it also grabs the attention of the bigger fis...
Inflatable Boat Fishing In MASSIVE Feeding Frenzy Cornwall
Переглядів 7 тис.5 місяців тому
As the waters around Cornwall rise in temperature rapidly the vast amount of baitfish that moves inshore really switches on the bass fishing. The best way to locate these feeding frenzies is to spot the birds taking advantage of the carnage beneath the surface. A fast approach is needed to chase the action and minimal disturbance so a SIB really is the best solution for this type of situation. ...
AMAZING Encounter 9 Miles From Land On New Inflatable Boat
Переглядів 16 тис.6 місяців тому
Maelstrom Products have kindly provided me with a new SIB to use, a 3.8 metre aluminium deck. This boat gives me the ability to take on grander adventures and reach previously inaccessible fishing grounds. I took advantage of the perfect sea conditions to steam 9 miles out to a favourite local reef of mine that I haven’t visited in some years. After a 40 minute ride cruising @ 18 knots I was st...
Headland Bass Fishing Cornwall
Переглядів 9 тис.7 місяців тому
Headlands can be a great place to focus efforts with lures as the tide often has a more pronounced effect on them which bass love! Trolling can be an incredibly effective way of covering ground whilst catching fish and finding where shoals are held up. SIBs really are ideal for this type of situation where strong tides would make a kayak uncomfortable and bigger boats will spook wary fish in th...
SIB Fishing The Manacles - Cornwall
Переглядів 4,7 тис.7 місяців тому
Small inflatable boats such as the one I’m using in this video are really affected by wind, fortunately in Cornwall I have the choice of North and South coast launch venues which give me the chance to get out even when it’s blowing. The manacles reef is somewhere I’ve always been aware of and I finally decided to take my chances with moderate offshore winds. As soon as I got amongst the pinnacl...
Ultra Light SIB Fishing Deep Water
Переглядів 6 тис.7 місяців тому
Fishing on a small inflatable boat certainly has its pros and cons and in this trip I experience many of them! Dodgy weather forecasts didn’t get in the way of us finding some prime fish on the reefs to both soft plastics and jigs fished in depths of 10m-60m ! At times the wind got the better of this 3.5m flat hulled SIB so we took shelter and drifted freshly caught mackerel baits on the clean ...

I’ll never shy away from the chance to try out a new boat! Maelstrom products have kindly provided me with an Aquamarina 350 to put through its paces and with a brief gap in the weather I was straight out on my local grounds. Fishing inshore can be tough this time of year and to add to the challenge a single box of soft plastics was what I put my faith in. Keeping the rod and line light allows ...
Winter Lure Fishing From a Tiny SIB

Firstly I apologise for the patchy audio quality in this video, it’s always hard to film in these sort of conditions. It’s rare for me to get out on the open coast with the SIB during winter but a very brief weather window presented itself and I wanted to see what could be had on lures. Sticking close to shore and fishing exceptionally shallow water allowed me to drift along the reef at just th...
This Inflatable Boat Is Perfect For Nearshore Fishing - Kaboat
Переглядів 13 тис.Рік тому
The inflatable boat has become a surprisingly versatile fishing platform, one of its main appeals being how relatively straight forward they are to set up and launch. The Kaboat from Maelstrom products really plays on the simplicity of transportation and set up. It has many characteristics of a traditional SIB but is better suited to nearshore tasks. It would surprise a lot of people how good t...

It’s good practice to put in the time discovering new marks, it can be a lengthy process that requires patience over different tides and times of day/night but this time I got lucky!

    Hi, Oban! Silviu here, a fishing rodbuilder from Romania. I like your detailed style of vlogging 👍 We have some common things.. fishing passion, having a T5 (mine is a 4motion, single cab on a chassis, converting in a camper), a Leatherman Wave, dry bags.. 😊 I look to buy my first ICE outboard, a new 20 hp 4stroke for my Sib (Quicksilver 320 airdeck) and will get a Tohatsu or Mercury, depending wich one I find it cheaper. I will store it on a side between my chassis beams, in a custom box, in the location of the spare wheel (replaced by a repair kit). My questions: Is it ok to transport it horizontally on its left side? Can the handle be quick removed so the box to be more compact? Tilting it upwards is not helping.. Will look to your other videos, anyway, to see what else I can learn. Thanks!

    Hey man really enjoyed the video! I bought one of those Lomo carry boxes from Amazon - what a great little thing - super grippy, and importantly it's watertight so keep everything dry if there's water sloshing around in the boat... Wanted to ask -what size or 'Ah' (amp-hour) battery do you use for a day's fishing? I have a 7.0Ah ands it's quite big for a box... also which box did you get for your battery? Many thanks

    make sure to put those wheels on first before the motor, but i think you figured that out after lol, becomes way too heavy to lift the boat up and attach the wheels lol much easier putting motor on when the stern is lifted off ground! just a tip from a sib owner to sib owner

      @ thanks for that, what did you think of the stability in rougher conditions? I live by Loch Sunart just south of Skye and wondered how suitable it would be for our conditions I have previously had an Orkney Longliner 16ft as I lived on a small island but am looking for something that is less trouble as I’m now 75 but miss getting out on the water now I no longer have the Orkney

    • @obanonthewater7796
      @obanonthewater7796 Місяць тому

      It’s not a boat to take it out in rough conditions as it sits low to the water. If you’re out on a nice day and wind picks up you’d most likely get back to the slipway dry but I wouldn’t take it out on a day with less than favourable weather

  • @jamespugh9214
    @jamespugh9214 Місяць тому

    Why reel up so fast when your in deep water ? Your killing the fish with barotrauma. Eyes bulging, swim bladder expanding out their mouth. Why don't you use a descender to drop them back to depth ? This isn't the first video I saw you leave them to die
