- I returned to fish my beloved Southbourne after a long time away! Some good fun fishing with various tactics.

Superb Tom. I love that beach when there is hardly anyone around and a damp day on there in autumn can be amazing fishing
Well done Tom a nice little session with a nice mixed bag, just a shame you couldn't get that bass to top it off 😊
Our own fishing UA-cam legend (should that be leg..end ? ) 😂
Great video again Tom , you seemed to be talking 1st half at 100mph !! Heightened anticipation I'm thinkin 🤔.
The Turbot tale is extraordinary,, ...when are you doing the 1 of you walking across the run then fishin Messiah 😂.
As always great watch all the way through...no "fillers" well done mate 👍
🤣🤣 love it, Pete. Many thanks.
Loved the video Tom, particularly the turbo story. Never caught one, itching to, top of my species list. Lure fishing on a ledge in East Yorkshire, the tide flicked up a small wrasse, which I gladly picked up, otherwise the session would have been a blank. 😂
Great film, you do make it look so easy.... I will keep trying. I really appreciate all the tips and insights.
The key to fishing is to keep trying! As the famous quote goes... The more I practice, the luckier I get!
A few years back I was fishing Hove beaches nothing was happening until my rod nearly jumped into the surf, brimming with excitement heart pounding I reeled in the " fish of a lifetime"...
Perfectly ready filleted 68cm salmon...
Obviously a spearfisher was having a laugh
🤣🤣 that's hilarious! Thanks for sharing.
Hi from Lincoln,Great to catch up with your vids Tom and trust your keeping well, Brilliant content as usual,
Hi Nigel. Thanks for watching. We're all keeping well down here, thank you. I hope you're managing to wet a line?
You’ve got to be the luckiest guy alive Tom, only you could catch a turbot that way 😂😂. Great video as always 👍🐟🎣
I was certainly riding my luck that day!
Hi turbot man, great video, be glad when I can get on the rods again , keep the vids coming very good viewing.🎣
Cheers Bri. Nice to see you this morning. Best of luck if you do manage to get out tomorrow evening.
Excellent variety of fish love the Toms story time 😂 great video !!
Thanks dude 😁
Great video as always again mate 🎣👍
Thank you mate 😁
Tom. You’ve inspired me to try Southbourne Beach. Could you tell me which car park gives easiest access to the beach. Would like to do an overnight one day next week.
Well done, sir. Really nice to see such variety at Southbourne. My son and I were either up the beach or down from you, I can't tell precisely where you are, and managed a small undulate ray. Really useful to know that the pop-ups are worth a try even when it's rough, so long as the water is clear. My son really loves the gurnards, so he was very excited to see how many you had. Thanks, as always, for the great video.
Fantastic! I love undulates. Stunning fish. Hopefully things will settle down nicely this week and we can get some good pop up fishing done! It's lots of fun.
Great stuff as always thank you for sharing
Thanks for watching 😁
Hi Tom, great vidio, thanks. I tried using your mackerel pop up rig design on millford shingle bank last week & twitching it back in I caught a nice gurnard too. Btw - it appears to work very well for black bream as well, caught loads of those using it too. Thanks for sharing your designs & wisdom :-)
That's great, mate. Well done. Yes, bream respond brilliantly to the pop up rig, they love a bit of movement. Glad you had a good session.
Went fishing there on Friday caught 7 sole and a couple bass and a place
7 sole! That's a cracking session! Well done mate.
Where else would you recommend to fish near Southbourne for flatfish and rays I’m from Portsmouth enjoying the fishing near there at the moment thanks
How could anyone not like your videos?
Can't please them all, I guess. I try and be as positive, helpful, and kind as I can, but some people still like to throw abuse. 😪
@@christchurchanglingcentre5428 i got a message saying i should be banned from youtube for making such crap videos, i only make them for my kids and grandkids to watch in the future, but i do love a troll, the more i can pi55 them off the better, my grandad always said when a troll is picking on you he is leaving someone else alone, id take that i got thick skin
@mat_allthegearfishing it's a sad world we live in hey. Thankfully, it's very much the minority. Keep doing your thing, your way. Don't ever let people bully you into changing.
@@christchurchanglingcentre5428 thanks mate, its all good, i was bought up in a military family, my grandad trained special forces in Mountaineering and artic warfare, i was raised to not let people bother me, i got nothing but love, i even love the trolls they have fun trolling im happy i can provide that fun, love your channel mate, popped in your shop a week ago, bought a few lures ect, but you was busy, will pop in again you have a
great shop
Great video as always. Sneaked a grey gurnard today on the very same rig.
Awesome mate 😁
We were fishing a competition on Fahan Beach, Co.Donegal. My friend, starting shouting it's taking line!!!!....
Bit of a back story on the venue - Fahan is renowned for Thornback Ray, Tub Gunard and Dogfish. It was pretty poor fishing that day for the 11 member fishing.
So back to the story, my friend shouting it taking line!!, I'm thinking Tope (they can be caught further out in the swilly). so he was playing it perfect, until it reaches the steep shelf (15 yards out - we have to fish on low water to reach the gulley for the thornback) and all hell breaks loose. I'm still baiting up at this stage, but noticing the struggle and fish going berserk in 2-3 foot of water. I had visions of the fish snapping off his light snoods and small hook. I ran over and started helping and literally as soon as i got to the fish 10 yards out in 2 foot of crystal clear water it breaks the hook.
No panic, I waited for perfect position to hand grab the 95cm Smoothhound as he was trying to steam back out to sea.
There is rumours that smoothhounds have been caught here once before but i have never seen one of fahan.
That's a great story mate, thanks for sharing. I think your mate owes you a drink after that effort!
Great video Tom, on your pop up Rig what hooks are you using on the 3ft snoods?
Good old size 6 wormer. Great hooks.
Watching you smoothly rewrap your rig onto a winder at the end. Thoughts on reusing same rig or if not what if any bits do you reuse??
Competition time? How many very useful tips can be noticed in a said video? This one is a goody 👍
Thank you, mate. That's a really lovely comment, exactly what I needed to read 😊😊
I reuse lots of my rigs, but never the hooks. New hooks every time for me (well, nearly every time 😬)
Great content as usual Tom. Any bass on lure films coming?
Still not, mate. Sorry 😞
Should be mono floor sinks like a stone
It does sink faster than mono, you are correct. However, in lighter diameters like this the difference is negligible, so I prefer to use fluoro as it tends to twist and tangle less than light monos. Having said that, I suspect either will produce similar results, so go with what you're confident using. 👍
Im going camping near the sea later and i want to catch some smoothound rays etc , never done sea fishing
I want to use my carp rods but im not sure what rigs to use
I'm thinking a "course" bolt ledger rig with a circle hook would be good
Any tips ?
Nice video
A nice simple running ledger, or an urfe rig being my preference, would be ideal, mate. Circle hooks are great, but not always the easiest to bait up with certain baits. So maybe some normal j hooks too.
@@christchurchanglingcentre5428 couldn't I just hook the bait on ?
What is the best bait?
@@christchurchanglingcentre5428 I don't want to deep hook any fish
Certain baits like crab and mackerel heads can simply be hooked on as you say, but thinks like sandeels (which are excellent for rays) are better mounted on the hook or on a dongle (hair rigged basically!)
Tom, I have exactly 23 minutes and 25 seconds. Do you have any idea of how to spend that time?
Have you tried meditation?
@@christchurchanglingcentre5428 is that like medication?
Very similar, less interesting
Enjoyable flick again pal, heading to chesil on 6th Sept and then a fortnight later, drop me a message if you're gonna be about pal 👍
Cheers, dude. Drop me a message closer to the time when you're down a fortnite after the 6th. May be free at some point.
@christchurchanglingcentre5428 will do, do you pick up fb messages now matey?
Elephant eat peanuts
That they do buddy, that they do.
