Another great video with so much action. Darren is right to caution about fishing on rocks. Only in calm seas for me nowadays. In the boom days of Stillwater trout fishing there was an addiction by many anglers to cast to the horizon using fast action rods and an aggressive double hauling technique. Whereas in reality the fish were often in the margins where there were more fry and aquatic insects. In rock structures many bait fish seek shelter close to the rocks, and no doubt the l predatory fish know this. But with modern tackle superb spinning rods and reels loaded with fine braid I find myself often striving for distance in the rivers when game fishing or when spinning in the sea. Like Darren have to remind myself to vary the casting depths and distances. Sage advice indeed. What a back drop fishing next to Dunstanburgh Castle. As a former History teacher I was always fascinated by the history of the Northumberland Castles. Now living in the North West the sea around Beaumaris Castle in Anglesey offers me some good bass fishing from boats. But it is shore fishing that I must now try having been inspired by videos like this. The sheer variation in the types of fishing locations is another big pull for this site. Thanks so much for that. Mick
Thank you, Mick. Yes , every day is a day of learning while fishing. I guess my game fishing side makes me think more about how my lure is fishing rather than a "chuck and chance" approach. Northumberland is stunning, though, isn't it ?. We are blessed. 🙂
A very quiet year for mackeral, with sheilds pier closed (unless ya hop the wall) and roker pier. Seaham pier is doing ok at dusk but still a strange year. All the best marra
Another nice video. At a mark near me, if the Mackerel 'disappear' it's often because the seal is between you and the shoal. The shoal moves out of range. It really mucks up the fishing.
Hi Phil, Thank you. I find at dustanbrugh the shoals are intermittent. Sammy didn't seem to bother the shoal. He just waited for an easy meal off my lure!! 🤣🤣 intelligent creatures, and I did not begrudge him one fish 😀. It was still a great day . Thank you for watching once again, my friend .
Another awesome vid mate ...dunstanbrugh is a great venue (the walk tho hahah)...best place for filling the freezer for flats bait ...some great fish there man 😎👍
Thank you my Chum. Yeah, it's a beautiful place to be regardless of catching. A nice walk and always lots to see. Thank you so much for watching and dropping a comment. Much appreciated 👏
I will have a look into sharing a map my friend. You will never find any secrets with me , we are all anglers together ❤️. This video was Dustanburgh castle, a very well-known mark.
Briliant!! Loves rhe vid...again ... Love Northumberland coast myself, looked a stunner of a morning,Darren? Keep em coming buddy! Might get up to fish with tou at some point? After this cast off ofcourse!
nice one bud what a beautiful mark you had some cracking fish great sport i think the seal had as much enjoyment as you buddy , i read were they can stay below for up too 45 mins thats grey seals , cheers bud stay safe
@@northeastangling all.good matey Out in Cyprus so been down the coast alot not much on shore fishing here been told by local lads. Tiddlers they all use carp poles and bread mix 😆😆😆
Good session there featuring ''Sammy'' Maybe could sync in some those metal chugging chord progressions as Sammy closes in for a Mac Attack 😈Coalies brings back memories of real clunkers drifting over WWII wrecks in the English Channel.They are in another league when it comes to pulling over the once ubiquitous pollack and cod...before the wreck netters perfected their art.🤬
Hi Darren first time watcher good video im a course angler that fancies a bit of mackerel spinning that looks a hell of a hike are there any deep water rock marks i could fish without the long hike as im not too mobile thank you
Hi William, welcome to the channel. Thank you for watching. Unfortunately, in the North East we are not blessed with many deep water marks that are not off the beaten path. However, you can spin for Mackerel in the mouth of the Tyne and River Blyth and park very close to your car. It's just a case of them actually turning up in numbers .
Hi Darren didn't go to blyth but went to roker instead loads of herring being caught with just the odd mackerel amongst them people taking hundreds of herring? I caught quite a few but put a lot back kept a dozen for the pan thanks for the advice and keep posting those videos they are very enjoyable 😊
No good putting Mackerel back after you have handled them. The loss of scales is actually fatal, in a short time they succomb to all sorts of ills caused by the loss of scales.
It's a Myth Graham, Experiments by marine fisheries scientists have involved handling mackerel to tag them and these fish have been successfully recaptured many miles from where they were originally caught, proving that mackerel which have been handled can continue to live and hunt. This being said, it is still good practice to try and shake them off, if the mark allows. Thank you for watching, much appreciated 👏
Hi Robert. I park at The steads near the golf club. It's free. It's debatable if the walk is tougher than coming from Craster as you have to climb the steep side. I have never parked at Craster, but I do believe there are only a couple of free spaces if you're early enough. All the best, my chum.

Thanks for watching my friend. Agree. Very quiet year in respect of previous years. As long as your out and fishing, all is good 👍. Tight lines

Excellent watch Darren can’t wait to try a bit lure fishing 🎣
Thanks for watching my friend 🧡
Absolutely fantastic video, I’m new to fishing and learned so much
That's great to hear, Corey! It makes it all worth the effort. Tight lines my chum.

Good to see you catching some nice fish.
Be nice to see a map with a mark to show where your fishing

You're welcome to fish with me anytime, my chum. You take care. Get well soon.
Great video as usual, yes they are dredging the Tyne at various marks. I’m the guy who had a conversation with you on Shields pier.
Hi Alan. Thanks for watching. It was nice having a chat with you 😀. All the best.
nice one bud what a beautiful mark you had some cracking fish great sport i think the seal had as much enjoyment as you buddy , i read were they can stay below for up too 45 mins thats grey seals , cheers bud stay safe
To be fair, I didn't mind him at all. I played him 3 times 🤣🤣🤣, cracking sport. We are the intruders, not the seals. 😀
Very nice and great catch 👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you for watching. All the very best 👍
Great work and production 😅 class 👏
Cheers Kev. I hope you're well 👍
@@northeastangling all.good matey Out in Cyprus so been down the coast alot not much on shore fishing here been told by local lads. Tiddlers they all use carp poles and bread mix 😆😆😆
Another cracking video mate
Cheers John. Nice to have a quick chat today. Take care .
Awesome truly awesome 👍
Thank you for watching Adam and commenting. I genuinely appreciate it. All the best.
Excellent chum
🤣 love it.
Good session there featuring ''Sammy'' Maybe could sync in some those metal chugging chord progressions as Sammy closes in for a Mac Attack 😈Coalies brings back memories of real clunkers drifting over WWII wrecks in the English Channel.They are in another league when it comes to pulling over the once ubiquitous pollack and cod...before the wreck netters perfected their art.🤬
Yes, pound for pound those Coalies fight. Sammy and I created a friendship on that day 🤣. Fair play to him. Thank you for watching.
Hi, what bag are you using there? Looking for a new one and that looks ideal, cheers
Hi David. My bag is the Vass dry rucksack. A little heavy if I am honest but comfortable to carry.

Hi William, glad that you got amongst the fish. Unfortunately, some people keep everything.
What rod and reel combo are you using
Great video again
Thanks Graham. I was using a 4 piece Akios Travel spin and my Diawa Ninja 3000.
Hi Darren, where do you park your car for Dunstanburgh castle, went the on Sunday try to park at caster car park but was Busy
Hi Tommy , The steads at the golf club. If you're not there early, it gets busy .

Cheers Johnny lad, hope you're good my mucka 👍

Do you park in Craster or is there a better way to get there? How much is it to park in Craster these days?

@@northeastangling thank you, I'm sure it was over £5 to park in Craster last time I visited and no spaces anyway!
