- Surrounded by Dolphins! A great day on the water fishing out of Whitley Bay on the North East Coast of England. After a slow start I found the fish and had some cracking sport.
To top it all off I was surrounded by a huge pod of dolphins on the way back in! A really special moment.
Good stuff Chris, the ending was the cherry on the cake. Beautiful to see.
Cheers Mark. Absolutely beautiful creatures!
Wow great vid and the Dolphins at the end pure brilliant 👏👍

Those dolphins!! Breathtaking!

Enjoyed watching this mate, brilliant !
Thanks John, glad you enjoyed it. There’s loads over on the channel if you haven’t looked and a new upload this weekend 👍
@@onthedropfishing I will do mate
Another great vid, i just subscribed, can i request you do a video of your kayak and how it is setup and also of the gear your wearing, I just bought myself a kayak and hoping to get out this year and do some sea fishing so interested in the clothing I need to stay warm and dry and also getting ideas of how to setup my kayak, cheers Paul
Thanks very much Paul, yes a setup vid is very much on my list of things to do. Thanks for reminding me and I’m glad you’re enjoying the content. 👍
Great Videos pal Keep it up
Thanks very much Simon, couple of weather windows coming up so hopefully I’ll have a few trips to upload this time next week 🎣
Hi Chris, really good to see back on the game again with such good content. I wonder if you would know and be able to impart any knowledge about boat slipping in the north east. I’m Glasgow based and usually fish for salmon all over the uk, in the last couple of years a friend and I have invested in a strikeliner to use in the sea. This boat only has had a few trips on the Clyde estuary which was fun for the mackerel. I’ve tried so hard to get information on boat slips but keep getting nowhere on information.
I would be looking at Dunbar to Sea horses as an example if you have any information.
I’ve also looked at the kayak situation where I’m confident but my friends don’t share my confidence and would rather be a little safer in a boat.
Any help is welcome and all fish will like you be returned.
Best Angus
Hi Angus, glad you’re enjoying the channel. I know there is access to launch a boat a Beadnell from the beach, and there are several slips at amble, one at Blyth and one at Seaton Sluice (that will put you right next to St Mary’s/Whitley Bay). I don’t have the details for them I’m afraid but there’s a Facebook group called UK Slipway Launch Advice - they’ll be able to point you in the right direction. Alternatively just get a kayak and launch anywhere! Get your mates persuaded! 👍🎣
hey mate im new to this style of fishing. what am i looking to be fishing? drop offs? i done alot of cod from the shore and on lures. so i assume more of the same but alot of big empty areas i am north east coast scotland. any tips appreciated. love the content
Hi Ben, for me it’s the “underwater islands” that fish best, basically a spot of shallower water with deeper water on three or ideally four sides. If I can’t find those then I try to drift the length of the drop off but that can be tricky depending on tide and wind. Hope that helps 👍🎣
Magical
The dolphins are amazing, they are here all year round now.
Great video
Thanks Lee 👍
Hi chris, could you tell me what the rod rest fitting is your using when unhooking the fish, many thanks
On that kayak it was a Railblaza rod rest on a railblaza mount 👍👍
@@onthedropfishing Thankyou i'll try to find one, love the video's by the way helped me decide on getting a sturgeon as my first kayak 👍
Enjoyed the video there mate
Thanks Barry, so glad the season is up and running again! 👍
This is my first season with a kayak here in plymouth leaning the ropes lol
@@barrylang7362 You’re gonna love it. It’s a fantastic sport. Here’s to a cracking season 👍
Hear Hear mate stay safe 😊
Great stuff!
Thanks very much Bob 👍
@@onthedropfishing I'm seriously considering getting a yak myself, a video with some hints and tips would be great! I'm just down the road from you, Teesside!
I'd probably be beach launching at Redcar, Runswick bay, Sandsend.
@@arkaywat11 it’s a great sport, you wouldn’t regret it. I’m gonna do a set up vid soon so keep your eyes peeled for that Bob. There’s loads of info in the other vids on my channel as well 👍
@@onthedropfishing 👍
Dose your back not give you jip sitting like that for hours as for moving about sod that i would end up capsizeing ive never fished out of a kayak before but i have been in the sea on one i was very nervous incase i went in and it was may so it would of been flipping freezing .any way nice vid
Cheers Richard, Luckily my back seems to be okay! Kayak is more stable than it looks it’s 14 long and pretty wide so if you go with flow you’re alright. I always where a full drysuit just in case. Even in August. 👍
Hi Chris how long do you reckon it would take us from hartlepool to get to bednal its Chris Ohara from hartlepool because they is nothing down here
e
I imagine it would take a canny while in your boat Chris, I couldn’t say how long like to be honest. It’s 50 kilometres roughly to Whitley from Hartlepool on the water and about 100 to beadnell as the crow flies. Hope that’s of some use?
You dangle your feet in the water a lot, does the water not go up your legs and in your boots or are you wearing something that keeps you waterproof?
That red and black get up I’m wearing is a drysuit, even if I fully submerged myself in the sea only my face and hands would get wet. It’s completely sealed with built in waterproof socks. An essential bit of safety kit for the North Sea.
@@onthedropfishing Figured there was something.
I’ve priced up wetsuits, never looked at them closely though. Good to know!
I would recommend a drysuit rather than a wetsuit. Wetsuit might be okay in the late summer when the water is at its warmest though. Another advantage a drysuit has over a wetsuit is when you finish you are already dressed and dry underneath it. Just take it off and jump in the car 🚗
@@onthedropfishing whoops! I meant drysuit 😅
Yeah, that makes sense cheers Chris
What a cracking day bud, u gotta love a Geordie:-). Couple of questions, is that the railblaza 600 camera boom up front and what fish finder u got cheers. Keep them vids coming better than Tv for a Sunday avo"!!!
Hi Nigel, yes thats the railblaza boom, its great but you will need to do your audio separately if you use one as they conduct a lot of noise. The fish finder is a Garmin Striker 4 Plus. Glad you enjoyed the vid
Never seen such a big pod of dolphins off our coast before. You should’ve stuck your camera underwater for a Jacques Cousteau moment!!
Yeah I know! I was too caught up in the moment to think
Dolphins very cool , shame you didn't keep a fish for them , lol
The dolphins were magic 😍
Are you using mono? that may be why you miss some hook-ups. Too stretchy.
No I only use 8 strand braid, just one of those days I think. I hope you’re enjoying the channel, there’s a load of vids from this year as well (this was last year)
Tight lines 🎣👍
@@onthedropfishing good stuff, i just click on whatever youtube puts on the right side. I'll get to all of them eventually :)
Another enjoyable vid.. great footage with the dolphins that must have been some moment.. have to mention your reel always sounds like its full of sand! Any fly fishing trips planned
Hi Allan, yes that reel is pretty spannered now, it’s been dropped in the sea a few two many times! I’ve got some new ones now. I was at Thrunton yesterday and had a canny session on the dries in the morning then on the lures in the afternoon. I’ll be editing that soon. There’ll be more fly fishing now the summer season is finished 👍
@@onthedropfishing sounds like you had a better day than me, I was also at Thrunton yesterday, hooked two one on a black apps one on a pink apps but both came off , landed a great rainbow on a small black gnatt pattern , look forward to seeing your session
It was canny, I finished on 12 and missed/dropped a load. Emergers, yellow owl being top, in the morning and Apps on the inter in the afternoon 👍
Looking to buy a kayak for fishing any recommendations? What kayak are you using? Thanks
Hi John, it needs to be around 12-14ft long for the sea. The kayak I’m using in this video is a Galaxy Sturgeon MKII, a great, stable and relatively affordable kayak. If you go to my channel and look at my last two uploads I’m using a Sturgeon FX which is basically the pedal version of the same kayak. Remember you’ll need nearly half your budget for safety gear and other equipment 👍
@@onthedropfishing thanks for the quick reply and good advice. Much appreciated
Good
Thanks 👍
What camera and mic do you use if you don't mind me asking?
Hi Cody, on this particular vid I'm using a Hero 6 and for the sound I'm using separate system audio which consists of an H1n Digital recorder with a lav mic. I sync the sound up later in Premiere/FCPX depending which I'm using. I've just switched to a Hero 9 as the main cam now though and it's much much better. I hope that helps 👍
Not had the pleasure of Dolphins... Yet! 👍
There’s been loads of them around these last few years! I’m sure you’ll get up close soon 👍
what type of kayak do you use?
I have a MK2 Galaxy Sturgeon. It’s a lot of bang for your buck 👍
@@onthedropfishing Thank you
When was this actually recorded?
About three or four weeks ago David 👍
Have you came across any dolphins while out there ?
Yes Paul, check out the last five minutes of this vid 👍
@@onthedropfishing That footage is excellent.
I go out on the JFK2 from the Royal Quays Marina through a company called Northern Experience Wildlife Tours for dolphin trips and see them a lot between Tynemouth and Creswell.
I also go out on a RHIB called the Ocean Explorer through Billy Shiels from Seahouses to the Farne Deeps to spot them.
Amazing to see !
Have a look on Facebook for the group"North East Cetacean Project" there are daily posts for any recent sightings up and down the coast in that group.
beltaaaa Yes I know both those boats well. Used to fish the wrecks of the JFK when I was a young lad. 👍
@@onthedropfishing The Ocean Explorer is good fun as well.
Small world.
I know Allan and Mark who own the JFK2 used to have an old RNLI lifeboat called the Sarah JFK but the only one I have been out on is the catamaran, the JFK2 which they have at the moment.
Have a look at my channels Paulc1st and Paulc1st Instant Vlogs and there are two playlists"Northern Experience Wildlife Tours" and "Ocean Explorer" with my pelagic trip tours.
Hi big fan of your show. Where can I buy one of those waterproof outfits thanks.
Hi Gerti, thanks very much, I’m glad you like the channel. My drysuit is a Typhoon PS330 Extreme Drysuit. They’re not cheap but it could one day save your life so very much worth it in my opinion, a quick google of drysuit will throw up loads of different options and sellers. I’d say Typhoon are the best in my opinion 👍
Nice video 👍 I shall watch some of the others. Feel free to check mine out
Thanks, I’ll check your channel out 👍
What kind of yak is that is it a galaxy
Yes it’s a MKII Sturgeon. I’ve really enjoyed using it, You get a lot of kayak for your money.
@@onthedropfishing be my next purchase had the 9ft galaxy but was too small, you might see me out 1 day up craster, ill just AREEEET haha. Keep the videos coming mate 👍
I’ll keep an eye out for you. You’ll love the Sturgeon 👍
Are you alone fishing
