I've seen more haddock caught this year than I have in probably 40 years, really good to see.Well done for fishing in those conditions..... I've done it, but too soft and old now. Keep it up!
@@UntouchedFishing if you do buy a life jacket get one with a EPERB it’s a location device that shows up on the radars of vessels if you end up in the drink it will more than likely save your life. Also where abouts are you from? 😊
Always wonted a haddock there’s been a few showing them selfts where I live but it’s like a needle in a haystack some nice cod been getting caught tho my mate and his dad had 2 doubles last night one just over 11 pound and one was bang on 10 pound so I’ll be out on the cliffs tomorrow night some nice size fish for you mate can’t wait for the next one keep it up
Oh my god guy's we've got a fish haha you've gotta love your commentary, enthusiasm and a decent fisherman to boot,didn't you know haddock are like buses lol,keep up the good work pal
Great video mate, I live in Arbroath and have seen some good cod here, but never caught a haddock! Well worth trying the cages on the harbour wall in stormy conditions or Auchmithie at the other end of the cliffs for cod.
Just found your channel. Man top quality videos and great drone footage. I live in Arbroath and hooked into a skate on the cliffs. It made the paper. There is a video floating about the internet somewhere of the catch.
Great result on the new species definitely a turn out for the books! Like others have said please be careful on the rocks especially at night and on your own. Studded boots and an inflatable life vest are a must . Happy to find your channel dropping you a sub and a like mate 👍🏼
Hey buddy nice effort it's like that up there very moody but when it's good it's really good,, I had a session few miles north of where you fished last night and managed to get a few decent ones out but had to do e fair bit of moving around to find some fish ,, btw its not that often you get haddock in that area ,, stay safe on the marks ,, cheers 👍
Great to hear, thanks for the feedback. well done on last nights session. im thinking of taking advantage of this 40mph offshore to get some hopefully nice casts later tonight 👍
Thanks for the video. Have never encountered a Navionics device before. What is yours called and what can it do apart from indicate water depth around the coast which sounds great.
@@acomment2242 thanks for the comment. I would highly recommend the app, I got the subscription last year and honestly imagine I’ll be paying it for the rest of my life now ahah. Look up navionics boating app and you should be able to find it without much hassle. The relief maps had me sold but it’s excellent while boating if you do do any fishing off shore. Also measures distances which can be handy. I think they do a 7 day free trial which you could use. Make sure to try the different map overlays if you do.

With regards to the fishing in the Arbroath area, there are some excellent anglers out there getting big bags of fish and some decent specimens too, with the demise of the Shore Angler forum, most of the lads went onto private facebook sites, so their catches are no longer reported in the public domain. With some swell and some colour in the water you can get Cod from Aberdeen down to Dundee, best to fish most of the marks with a mate, never turn your back on the water, sadly we have lost anglers from these marks, never take the sea for granted. You will need some rough ground gear, no place for beach rods, I use 80 or 100lb braid straight through with a couple of metres for a rubbing strip of 100lb nylon, 2/0 or 4/0 pennel pulley rigs and cocktail baits after the crabs have moved away from the shore. Don't cast too far, drop one rod in close around 20/30 metres out, I have never done any good when there's a bright moon shining and travel light, you may have to move about. So arrive in the daylight and sus out the marks before it gets dark, if you fish a tide up, make sure of the ground behind you, don't go wandering out onto the skerries without watching your back.
yeah that shop is my second home ahah. I have never fished granton specifically. I had a session the next pier east from there a few weeks back and have fished Queensferry once. didn't get much luck at either. lots of crabs up at Queensferry. im hoping for this wind to die down as im hoping to do a urban fishing video fishing all the Edinburgh pier marks. have you had much luck fishing it? I imagine it will be a long shot to get on the cod but there's got to be a chance hasn't there?
@@UntouchedFishing newhaving guessing ya mean, usually at hightest tide theres a ledge that goes down and a row of boulders all across the pier, then a kelp bed 4-5m wide and all across again, cast behind it will get you a few fish, heard of doggies and wee codling, but granton is 3x better , go to the curve of the breakwater cast 50 yards out, that will get u just ahead of the kelp bed and thats where the cod will be, 3 cod caught there few days ago by a mate, 6lb 3lb and 2lb, but dont have high hopes becuase thats the first time ive seen such fish caught there, pulley rig with size 2/0 top hook and 4/0 bottom and other rod 2 hook flapper or 3 with size 1 hooks, will get u on the better whiting, while able to catch flatties, and the smaller codling
@@UntouchedFishing also to add, this time of year get boots studs both rocky grounds so will be very slippy when wet, especially when dark too, had few pals fall break rods, or hurt them self
Good swell you want to be fishing Inverbervie steep shingle.. I worked Scotland and stayed in abroath many yrs and my biggest fish was Inverbervie if still there that’s best in rough seas
@@UntouchedFishing it’s a steep shingle I fished abroath rock marks on dropping tides .. I always worked north but best in rough north easterly was Inverbervie for me need strong line because rough seas rip up the stalks like tree branches lol had of to 8 lb
Get yourself up Northumberland next time there's a good sea running I'd put you on to some cracking marks, some of the best cod grounds in the country in Northumberland
Im thinking of doing exactly that. It would be brilliant if you could suggest a few marks, I had a session at dunstanburgh castle a few weeks back but didn't get on the cod. If you don't mind me asking would you suggest any marks ideally up the north end of the county? ps that's a cracking cod for your profile pic 😁👍
its all about the right time right place i guess mate, some really nice little haddock you got there as for Arbroath being the cod capital of the country though im not sure about that, im from the north east of England and the catch reports around here are pretty consistent with good fish 5-10lb but its always the people who are out all the times at silly hours in perfect seas with handed down knowledge of marks and knowing where to cast from them marks. look for the features under water etc. however in terms of youtube land consistency in size and number Chesil beach in Dorset looks to be the best fishing spot in the country to throw up good fish and the odd species too. and if you just want a giant cod/ ling /coalie or pollock you could always go to Norway or even better the Shetland islands off north Scotland p.s for the time and effort you put in the two haddocks are better than a blank but not particularly good tbh i know of three or four people whom have caught similar sized haddock at mouth of wear and tyne and blyth pier
I would love a trip down to chesil. Be a fair drive from Edinburgh but I think next summer it will happen- try for some bass too. The truth is I was not happy with this session. 18 hours of fishing for 2 small haddock was definitely not what I was looking for ( especially as it costs me about 100 quid😂). cheers for the comment and advice 👍
No bother mate I’m glad you understood I didn’t want to put you down about it. But I know the score on the travelling and time and planning involved behind the scenes and I know I myself would of wanted more out of the session 👍 either way the videos you are putting out mate are getting better and better keep up the good work
Excellent video once again! Please invest in a auto-inflate life jacket given the marks you fish alone, will only take one large freak wave to whisk you off into the darkest! Be safe good Sir!
Thanks as always Sku, I will be getting one. Ive said to my parents that if they are to get me anything for Christmas a life jacket is the thing to go for. If not I will make the investment myself. Have you managed to get out fishing recently?
Mate i have a fishing page in arbroath. Arbroath fishing and live weather updates page its specifically a winter page.gove the page a follow a will sort somethjng out with you for the forth coming winyer and hooefully get you onto some nice prime cod
Sounds good mate. I’ve been in the group for a while already, it’s a cracking group chat- my favourite out of all of them on fb. Unreal though I appreciate that Allan 🎣🎣
Well done lived here near Arbroath 20 years I still haven't had a Haddock
I've seen more haddock caught this year than I have in probably 40 years, really good to see.Well done for fishing in those conditions..... I've done it, but too soft and old now. Keep it up!
We are catching haddock on rod & line in the humber
what a cool guy you are, so enthusiastic. keep it going and stay safe 👌💪🎣
thank you Garou. hopefully have a cod or 2 for the next 🙏🎣
love finding a new channel ive not subscribed to yet, but now i have, gonna work my way through your videos mate
Well done on the haddock. Be bloody careful fishing Rock marks alone at night when you don't know them well.
appreciate that beachfisher. alot of people have suggested a lifejacket so ill likely be buying one of them soon. cheers for the comment 🙏
@@UntouchedFishing speak with someone from a local club to get advice on marks in different sea states. Good luck getting a big cod.
