I've just been sat at my fly tying desk for the last 40 minutes, making up a few squirmy wormies, flciked on youtube for a Chatton video to watch while I tied, some bloke catching Rainbows on pink apps, sounded just like you. And then I realised..................It is you ! Tight lines for 2023 all the best. Ivan
Ha ha! Yes, the first three vids I ever made were Thrunton, Higham and Chatton! I don’t really film my fly fishing these days as the reception is mixed shall we say…the sea anglers don’t watch them and the fly fishermen get a bit hot under the collar when you use the apps/bung! 🤣. Tight lines to yourself as well mate and here’s to a fish filled 2023🎣👍
Many thanks for positing another lovely video. Certainly have some amazing coastline and scenery in your neck of the woods. Really enjoyed seeing the bend in the rod with that super cod! Look forward to watching your next 'feel good' video. They are very enjoyable! Best wishes, Kev
Thanks very much Kevin, I’m glad you enjoyed it mate. There are some lovely spots within an hour or two of Newcastle. I feel very lucky to live in this neck of the woods. I can’t believe how warm it was! Tight lines 👍🎣
Hi mate great video as always, I see you got the new drop in motor how do you rate it, if you get time on the days you cant get on the water will you please make a short vid on it I am thinking of getting one and would like your honest opinion. Kind Regards .
Hi Harry, I'm not sure if the motor is available yet as I'm just field testing this one for Galaxy- the motor has performed really well so far.I'm very pleased with it. I'll do an update on it on my next trip. 👍🎣
The motor has been great Peter, it’s got a lot of poke for a 24lb, I’ve really enjoyed using it and I’m getting two or three trips from one charge. Tight lines mate 👍🎣
Yeah or sometimes the divers pitch up. It was nice to get a few drifts over it before the tide and wind knocked the drift off. St Abbs is a beautiful spot 👍🎣
great video,👍👍 i didnt know of krill spray, does that really make a huge difference? i might try it, would it be be beneficial on soft lures like skerries eels on wreck?
Thanks very much I’m glad you enjoyed it. I don’t think it makes a huge difference to be honest but it certainly can’t be doing any harm. I use it in soft plastics/metals etc but not all of the time 👍🎣
Hello, Really like your videos. Could you please send me some links about rods and reels you usind and fish finder. Your kayak is galaxy supernova FX? Are you happy with the kayak? Thank you Ernest
Hi Ernest, in this vid I’m using my Galaxy Sturgeon FX with a slot in motor, the motors are not available yet I’m just field testing this one. Rod is a Rovex Integra Gold and the reel is a penn spin fisher 2500. I like both the Suoernova and the Sturgeon but tend to use the Sturgeon more. Fish finder is a Lowrance hook reveal 5 👍🎣
Hi mate thanks for the sub I really appreciate it! The motor was sent to me by Galaxy Kayaks to do some field testing. I believe you’ll be able to buy them soon. Slot in the same as the pedal drive. Tight lines and thanks again for the sub 👍🎣
Surreal, Christmas tree up, you out on the kayak over a wreck, 12deg, on a calm December sunny day on the north sea catching fish. Well done Chris, you certainly put the time in. Excellent watch.👏👏👏👏👏👏
Nice size Cod there bud and always good to see a ling, always a bonus when they can be returned without blowing. Great session in a stunning location. All the best Chris.
I’ve had a few ling close in this year. Always nice to get them in shallower water as you say. It’s a stunning location and nice to get on that wreck as it’s usually swarming with divers 👍🎣
Who would have thought conditions could be that nice in December Chris, and some fish along the way! Lets hope sea conditions carry on so all of us viewers can enjoy more of your great vids over the festive period. All the best for Christmas and heres to a great New Year.
Thanks very much Andy, I'm hoping to get over west again if the weather settles a little more. It was an absolutely gorgeous day.....it's snowing here now though! Tight lines mate 👍🎣
Nice vid Chris, that cod was a beauty. I wouldn't worry about bigger boats leaving the area. I've fished charter boats for years, been out and had very little, then watched one of your videos where you're fishing basically the same area, and you've had loads. I don't know if it's engine noise, wave slap on the hull or what, but you seem to be more consistent on the fish. I'm getting some of that Krill spray, seems a killer.
Thanks William I’m glad you enjoyed it. I do think the engine noise makes a difference, like yourself I’ve been on a few charters in my time and think inshore it definitely makes a difference in the shallower water. Tight lines mate 👍🎣
Nice to see you out again. I really enjoyed watching
I’m glad you liked it, cheers mate 👍🎣
Very cool and very interesting, as usual. Cheers!
Thanks Jarrett matey, hope you had a great Christmas and here’s to a cracking New Year 🎉👍🎣
Spot on fishing 👍🎣👀 and Tight Lines.

When snorkeling few yrs back, I saw some really good size Pollock at the entrance to Starney Bay. Plus, a bloody big Conger near Pettico wick.
A conger is a handful on a kayak! 🤣🎣

Well if I went home with my fingers smelling of Crill, my wife would think I'd been playing away lol.
🤣
Amazing vid again!
When's the motor out for the Sturgeon?
Thanks very much Jezz I’m glad you enjoyed it. I’m not sure when the motor is out but I think it’s gonna be in the next month or so 👍🎣

It's normally the Boats that steam in, when we're catching on a Yak. Good to see you turning the tables on them, Chris. Nice day out, mate. 😎
Yeah or sometimes the divers pitch up. It was nice to get a few drifts over it before the tide and wind knocked the drift off. St Abbs is a beautiful spot 👍🎣

Chris we are heading to St Abbs on Friday , what’s the car parking like at the harbour
If you get there early you’ll be fine, you can park right next to the harbour 👍🎣
Another good one Chris from a beautiful part of the country, last time i fished there i had a prowler 13 and that was 2009
It’s a lush place isn’t it Peter. Great to park the van in the harbour for the night as well. Happy days 👍🎣
St abbs one of my best fishing venues..that cod you got was a cracker well done thanks for sharing tight lines
Thanks Scott, I love the place- I wouldn’t say I’d worked it out just yet but it’s such a beautiful spot I enjoy every trip out there 🎣
Yeah sure is ..as soon as spring comes am down there it's a good drive from glasgow but we'll worth it in the end.bigger miles means bigger fish lol
Subscribed. Is it DIY (shortened leg) electric motor? How did you fitted it in to the place?
Hi mate thanks for the sub I really appreciate it! The motor was sent to me by Galaxy Kayaks to do some field testing. I believe you’ll be able to buy them soon. Slot in the same as the pedal drive. Tight lines and thanks again for the sub 👍🎣
Well, everything looked small after that jumbo cod Chris, great video as always mate.👍👍👍🎣🎣🎣
That wreck saved the day didn’t it! Shame about the long but all in all a canny trip. Glad you enjoyed it mate 👍
As always a tip notch video Chris 👍🎣 good to see you got a decent cod 🎣🎣
Thanks very much mate, it was a beautiful day 👍🎣
Cracking session mate 👍 its very cold but never to cold for fishing 🎣 🎣
Thanks very much I’m glad you enjoyed the vid. I was at Beadnell the day after and that WAS cold! 🥶🎣
Surreal, Christmas tree up, you out on the kayak over a wreck, 12deg, on a calm December sunny day on the north sea catching fish. Well done Chris, you certainly put the time in. Excellent watch.👏👏👏👏👏👏
Thanks very much I'm glad you enjoyed it....it's snowing outside now and the day after at Beadnell it was minus 2 in the night! Tight lines mate 👍🎣

yes kayaks are more stealthy in shallow waters, i didnt know of krill spray, does that really make a huge difference? i might try it
@@adriancoates9832 I've got a bottle waiting for my next boat trip. Fingers crossed.
Is your dry suit a Typhoon
It is Tom, it’s a Typhoon PS330 Extreme 👍🎣
Belter somethings on instead of a load of humans kicking a lump of air about
Well that was my thinking- although I’m a footy fan I was hoping people might fancy a break from the World Cup! 👍🎣
