Join me, a very average angler, as I fish from as many places as possible, learning as we go!
Fishing North Wales
With strong winds forecast, this week I decided to head over to North Wales in search of some surf and silver bars. Following the low water beach session, with the wind and weed, I decided to head away from the coast.
This weeks tackle of choice:

Century Nsure 1-4oz
Akios Fury FX420 4-6oz
Akios Airpower Rxp 435 4-8oz
Penn Spinfisher 5500lc & 7500lc
Loop and Pennel rigs
Baits of choice were lug worm, rag worm, and squid
Thanks for watching, take care & tight lines

A days fishing on the East Yorkshire coast
Переглядів 7 тис.14 днів тому
Bit of a change of pace for me this week. Recently, I've been racing around trying to cram as many sessions in to my trips as possible, and it's meant I haven't enjoyed my fishing as much. On this trip I decided to choose a mark and stay put for the day. Fishing with me today was Mike from Mike's rigs, you can find him on Facebook, and Steve from Sparta Fishing, who's video is linked below: ua-...
Plaice fishing in North Wales
Переглядів 8 тис.21 день тому
After a lengthy break, pun intended, I'm back out fishing. With a broken toe, I wanted simple, comfortable fishing, so my intention was to fish from the prom somewhere on the mersey. But with small tides, and settled weather, I decided instead, to head to Mostyn. A mark which has never been kind to me, including many blanks, lost gear, and slips & falls resulting in broken gear. Armed with lots...

Busy night fishing deep rock marks on Anglesey

If you watched the Northumberland series, you would have seen Tommy commit to finding me a double figure fish on Anglesey. So I'd be mad not to head over there and hold him to his word. This is the second video from that trip, and what a session we had. We decide to deviate from the plan we had, and it paid off in bounds.

Sometimes I wonder why I stopped shore fishing, now I've watched this I remember.
🤣🤣 don't let my poor track record put you off mate
@theawfulangler Not at all, I'm in the process of getting back to it after a 25 year break. If you don't have bad days you can't have good days.😁
@DavidGillon-yy8th exactly that mate. It would be boring if you were constantly catching, that's what I tell myself anyways
Evening Alex. In case you’re interested I saw with my own four eyes a lovely bass of about 45 cm being caught at low water at “Cod Corner”, Woodside, Birkenhead this afternoon, and the guy had already caught one before I was there. Bass in the Mersey. Get in.
Thanks for that mate, made choosing a venue for today even harder now 😂😂
You need to to do same camera work plenty of sky
I'll take a look cheers
Need help lads, I’m working in Liverpool for the next theee months, looking for a nice close spot for mackerel spinning and spinning in general, if you could tell me a few spots that would be appreciated! Tight lines fellas!
I don't know of any spots for lures, really, until you get around to anglesey, if I'm honest, mate. It's always worth having a crack on the beaches, but Liverpool is more a ray/hound spot through summer.
@@theawfulangler haven’t got much experience with that kind of fishing so I’ll save myself the heartache 😂 thanks for the response tho mate!
No bother mate. It's not hard to get set up, and gives you another option depending where you ate
Sandeel works a treat at Conwy 👍🏻
Good to know mate thanks
Gotta love a Ray.
And the rays seem to love me
Nice result at the end of a bit an arduous session.
Took a bit of effort but managed to winkle one out in the end 👌🏽
Nice one Alex 👍
Cheers Daz
Sent that way and the hounds are being caught off the cob in Holyhead now, it's that time.e of year again. You fish off the old cob, where you drive through valley to get there.
Yeah they're on their way. Just need to find a good supply of peelers
@@theawfulangler they also take prawns, in fact a lot of anglers down south Wales prefer to use the ammo/riot prawns, and a hound is a hound, crusty eaters 😉 in fact they are already there, watch Anglesey tight lines last video bud. That's where he was.
They're there for sure, but only the pups, the big girls are yet to move in. I've never done any good on prawn, but there's tome to change that
Nice one Alex bud! think Tommy's giving you the run around lol!
Yeah be sticking with my gut from now on 😉
You've opened the door now mate, it'll be madness nextime🤞🤞
Here's hoping mate 🤞🏼
Nice Ray you deserved that for never giving up, TIGHT LINES.
Never know what the next cast might bring
Canny ray 🎣🎣
Thanks mate
Not much fish 🤷♂, but video is awesome👍! Loved it, keep them coming🤩💯! Watching you all the way from Kazakhstan 😉🖐
Thanks very much. Kazakhstan is a new country to tick off the list, pretty sure you're the first person. How is the fishing where you are?
@@theawfulangler There will be more of us for sure 😉💯😁, just keep on doing greight fishing videos 🤩! Fishing here in Kazakhstan is awesome as well 👍, the only difference is that we are not surrounded by any ocean! It is our awesome lakes and beautiful rivers😍, and ice fishing lasts here almost 6 months in a year 🤦♂🤣😂🤣
Well done on your Ray fella. You deserved that for the effort you put into your fishing and filming. Thanks for sharing
Thanks Richie, appreciate it 🎣
Mostyn completed 😊👍
No, no, no! I still need a monster plaice, I'm far from done 😅
@theawfulangler oh i am sorry, another visit soon Then Al?
@andybowyer3602 absolutely mate. Weather, depending, could be an all-day session this week. This wind just needs to make it's mind up what it wants to do
@theawfulangler yeah I'm on the wirral almost opposite Mostyn an I can tell you that wind has a chill to it!
It was bitter on this evening too. Soon as the sun went down the temp went with it. Still 50/50 holderness or mostyn/mersey, so watch this space
Thanks Alex. Had the same problems on the estuary. ( caught in exactly the same spot a few years ago) but it's hard work with the fast tide. Well done Mostyn, never fished it. 😢. Take care and god bless to you and your crew 🙏
Thanks Greg. Conwy estuary is a lovely spot. But I think it would be better with lures as the tide runs, and then baits maybe an hour either side.
@@theawfulangler yep it's fast and weedy. Fished off the pontoon last time. 👍
If at first you don't succeed or 2nd.....anyway well in need to try Mostyn still haven't been
Or in my case with mostyn, 29th times a charm 😂
Lovely scenery, what a lucky lad nice day for fishing 🎉🎉
Thanks mate, about time the weather started to pick up
Congrats on the Ray!
Thanks Mark 👍🏼
Whey hey! No more Mostyn Blues. Well done Alex. Perseverance pays. Onwards and upwards. Till the next one, tight lines.
Cheers Ray, you never know, I might be learning a thing or 2
So now you can say, with complete confidence and utmost honesty that, by definition, you are not insane! 🤣 Nice one👍
I'll say it with some confidence, not quite utmost 😂😂
Great vlog m8.. keep them coming
Thanks Mumtaz 👍🏼
Cracking job m8
Cheers Steve 👍🏼
Nice one Alex. Determination finaly paid off. I'm offDown to Dover on Weds, Smoothouds to 10lb and Thornbacks to the same have been recorded this past week, so I know i'll get 14 doggies and a couple of little Pouting. But this time I am going to try for a conger as well.
Very best of luck Kevin. I would love to see a report on the awful anglers Facebook group if you're in there.
@@theawfulangler Thanks I will give it a go.
Hi Alex, great videos as usual. I’m going down West Wales St David’s next week fishing and to chill out. I’ve had a bad 6 months. What the hell just go for it as they say.
Well in that case Colin mate, all the very best of luck mate, you deserve a few specimens 🎣👌🏽
Be careful as one ray doesn't make a summer lol,although I hope the floodgates open for you now,keep doing what your doing, top class
Oh I'm not going to take my foot off the gas now. But it is good when tweaking the tactics pays off
@@theawfulangler to true,it's good when a plan comes together, I was there last week for a night in my camper,got a thorny, 2 good plaice and a 380 mm flounder all on peeler at the near corner of the beach, but every days different as you know bud,love the channel
I do like it on that corner mate. Being midlands based and with so many traps getting smashed by storms, it's almost impossible for me to get my hands on peeler so far this year
Lovely Thornback you got there Alex. Great blank saver and at Mostyn too!
I know, if I hadn't been so tired the grin would have been from ear to ear
We have to change your name to the dog whisperer we have a lot of old dogs on the isle of wight all the best gary
Sound idilic mate. I'd love to set up a rescue shelter but I know I wouldn't be able to turn a blind eye
Don't listen to me m8t absolutely clueless 😂 talk a good talk 😂
Knew it 🤣🤣
Pleased for you with the ray that breaks the Mostyn curse. Great quality video and, especially, the audio via the mike you have somewhere on your person. Thank you and good luck.
Cheers Russell! I need to have a play with the mic settings at some point, no one needs to hear me breathe 🤣
If you’d gone another two or three hundred metres you might have had a chance But local knowledge needs listening to Local lad
Another 2 or 300 meters and I'd have been in the drink
Happy Sunday
Same to you Neil! 🎣
13.24 on under rod tip a UFO 😂😂😂
Haha not sure what you saw mate but definitely no ufo on my screen 🤣
Nice one dude
Thanks mate
Bend in that rod wow imagine the bend when you eventually get a fish on the end of it lol,joking apart love your channel and mindfullness
I honestly can't wait, going to be awesome sport
🌊🎣
Thanks pal
Fished further up the Loch a few times and caught nothing. Hope to return soon with the inflatable boat. We caught a few fish up near Bunree.
Tide rips through there though so hope you have a strong reliable motor
Could you please give me a few marks in NW , I’m a new starter, live in Wigan. Follow all your videos be much appreciated Thanks
Honestly mate when it comes to NW you can't really go wrong. So many marks to choose from. It's pretty much a case of pick a spot car park up and have a go.
Never done very well on that beach but not been there in years. Great banter, hope to see you soon 🐟🎣
I can see it becoming my new mostyn. Looks spot on, so I need to catch off there now 😂😂
Good to hear you're making a trip to Ireland, it'd be some buzz to bump into you on the beach
I can't wait, it's always been a bucket list to fish Ireland
@@theawfulangler be looking forward to that video bud. To be fair, we're spoiled for choice over here. On the south coast atleast, haven't really felt the need to venture too far from home. Bring rain gear, summer just means warmer rain over here
Never mind Alex, if it's any consolation went out trout fishing on a local pond yesterday and blanked (had one good bite and missed it). Grandson fishing right next to me caught 3 nice Rainbows using same bait and tactics and casting his gear only about 5 yards from where I was putting mine! C'est la vie!
Haha typical that is mate, I've had a few sessions like that now!
Hard lines mate. That looked like a perfect opportunity to try tapered mono. Such as Inova Taper-Tech Tapered Main-Line. 🐳👍
I'm not a fan of the tapered mainlines if I'm honest mate. One break and you're back to square one. And considering you can buy a 1/4oz spool of standard mono and a reel of shockleader or even tapered shockleader for the same price, I'm just not convinced.
Nice one Alex 👍 I think the old current bun was your biggest problem there. Be a different story after sunset.
Yeah mate, hate bright days like that unless you're on a reef/rock mark
Loved the rants Alex 😂😂, don’t go to Mostyn 🤐🐟🎣
Where you going in Ireland 🐟🎣
Sucker for punishment me 😂😂 I don't have plans yet to be honest mate, other than landing in to Larne then I want to be in Donegal for the international rally
Ah right, thought you might be going south 🐟🎣
Co Cork has been on my fishing wish list for as long as I can remember so definitely heading south, just not sure where yet
Nice 👍🐟🎣
😂funny the banter in that chat . Unlucky mate you'll get a bass next session tight lines
Thanks mate, heres hoping!
Hiya Alex, another great vid certainly calmer on the west coast, like a daft sod I did the two bus trip over to Hornsea on Saturday bloody hell that wind, no chance on the north beach and even on the south beach the wind was to strong really, couldn't cast out anywhere near far enough with the breakers so far out, gave up after a couple of hours, another blank 🤷 PS that big toe looks nasty I've thrown away better looking baits than that😆
Yeah, definitely the right coast to head to last weekend. I'm not sure i could have done much better in the time I had. Maybe do the extra miles and head to anglesey, who knows
Thanks for the vid! I had a session like that last week on a venue fishing down to low - by the time I’d cast out and put my rod back on the stand I had to move everything down the beach and cast out again! Got a bit tedious in the end. Might stick to fishing low to high and a bit back down in future… 🤦🏻
I hate fishing the tide down for that reason. I don't mind a couple hours either side but the middle 2 is a no no for me
@@theawfulangler Yeah, you never get time to take stock of how you’re actually fishing. Been told the trick is to fish it light with a single rod, minimal tackle & bait - but that’s not really my style! 😅
Great video, mate, I see your dad's new reel has the handle on the correct side. 😉
Haha I thought I'd give it a go. Felt like trying to brush my teeth left handed
Unlucky Alex bud! think Tommy's giving you the run around lol!
You're not the only one mate 🧐 just wait until he asks for a mark on the east coast 🤣🤣
@@theawfulangler 🤣
