What a stunning video. I lost count of the number of fish that you caught. Seeing those dolphins must have been magical. Stay safe and tight lines. Mike.
Thanks very much, it was a fab day. I had cut a few fish out as well as the vid was gonna be way too long! I love the dolphins, I’ll never ever get sick of seeing them 👍
I subscribe to a few fishing channels , where lures are used , and this one is by far the most entertaining. Thanks again for another great adventure. 👍
I'm the same every fish is like my first ever 🤣 im out for fun there are a lot of serious faces over hear in the Isle of man but a awesome place for fishing 😁
Cheers Steve, glad you enjoyed and thanks for the sub! Tight lines for 2022 and there’s an initial set up vid of the fx on the channel if you get stuck 👍
Proper Pollock fest, brilliant. Liked it when you were going to repair the lure, I could see your rod going as I said, your getting a bite lol. Well, Whitley paid back what it owed you. Keep 'em coming Chris.
Hi mate, I’m wearing a Typhoon PS330 Extreme Drysuit and the boots are just cheap water shoes from Tesco. I have just bought some palm gradient boots but I haven’t used them yet, they look and feel spot on though. Cheers 👍🎣
Nice videos ! I just wonder how rough sea is too rough? I would love kayak, but in North of Scotland I have never seen anyone fishing on kayak, and I hardly ever seen sea so calm like in your videos😀 My worry is if I get kayak, I will never get a good day to go out on it😀
Ha ha, if you check out the outro of my most recent St Abbs trip that’s too rough! 🤣 I’m glad you’re enjoying the content. There are kayak anglers everywhere now, I bet you’d find some round your way on Facebook 👍🎣
Another fantastic video Chris. Your enthusiasm is fantastic. What i do like is unlike alot of others channels that you release the fish ASAP. Good stuff. Regards Chris
@@onthedropfishing Definitely, would love to catch some of those Pollock wow great stuff. Live in East Coast of Scotland went out off a harbour arm yesterday got a lovely 2lb coddie. On light tackle too. Great sport and fun. Many thanks Chris
Thanks for some good / interesting videos. In this one you mentioned (3.33) about seeing the fish on the sounder and when it hit the lure. Wondered if you can give me any details of which sound you have and why you went for that make / model as I am thinking of changing mine but they all claim to be brilliant, or can you do a quick video overview including screen footage would be brill. Many thanks and look forward to the next video. Cheers
So it’s a Lowrance Hook Reveal 5 that I use. It’s not a live scope so you can’t watch a fish swimming live but you can see the point at which the fish hit the lure if you know what you’re looking at. I really like it and I’ll maybe stick a bit in another vid about how to read it etc. Tight lines 👍🎣
@@onthedropfishing Thanks for your reply and info. I was impressed when you said you could see a fish hit your lure. I have seen other video where they show the lure below the boat but have never been able to get that detail on my FF so thinking it's time to upgrade. Would be really useful if you can somehow include some footage of what to look for and if possible the lure going down and include any special settings to allow this view. Many thanks and tight lines
Hi John, we don’t get many bass on this stretch of the North East Coast, I’ll certainly be trolling for them when I head over to the border next week though 👍
Great video mate. Do you prefer the sturgeon or the wildcat ? I am looking at getting a kayak this year and going out from whitleybay myself. Could you make a video of your setut including battery placment for your motor and fishfinder. Thanks
Hi mate, I like them both but the Sturgeon is getting more use as I have the motor for it. There isn’t a motor for the wildcat as of yet. I’ll stick something about the battery in a future vid but basically it’s just in the box behind my seat. Hope that helps 👍🎣
Hi mate, thanks very much I’m glad you’re enjoying the content. Clear water is certainly preferable but I’ve caught plenty of fish in really dirty water on lures. Fishing on the drift and using light braid are major factors as well 👍🎣
great footage again fella thankyou for sharing. Whats a great days fishing you had there very jealous. i must get back out on the water soon... love the sounder. dont worry about the sun its not an issue mate. Have you got any set shedule for up and comming trips? i live down in teesside. cheers Yaka
Glad you enjoyed it, I’m paranoid about the sun but it’s not that bad with this camera. I don’t have a schedule for trips. With work/life/weather it tends to be a last minute decision. Sometime I wake up at 3:30, check the weather and I’m on my way by 4:30! 😂
Hi Chris, thoroughly enjoyed the video. Is that the Briardene car park? I've been trying to find info on the parking there but some sites say it's free and some say there's a charge after so long? Hope you can help? Many thanks
Hi mate, no it’s the car park at the pitch and putt. It’s about £3 for the day I think. You won’t get launched there at the mo though as the sand has gone from the boathouse ramp but it’ll be back soon enough with some settled weather 👍🎣
Yeah Whitley has been a bit patchy this year but my pal was out today (I’m isolating 🙄) and he had a canny session as well so it looks like it might be back on form 👍
Funny isn't it, I'd give my hind teeth for a Codling right now but could guarantee 30-40 Pollack per rod an hour up to 7-8lb no bother, we get bored catching them. Just different parts of the country I guess, great video.
Very true, I get a lot of codling love from people around the country, it’s easy to forget not everyone has a ready supply of them on their doorstep. But anyway…do you have a lat/long for all these pollack you don’t want? I’ll come and.catch them for you 😃🎣🎣🎣🎣
I use windy myself. It's got the currents and swell etc as well. A few settled days with a light breeze from the land is normally a good starting point 🎣
Just noticed m8 that's the same rod as the 2 I bought in anticipation of kayak fishing, do you know the lure weight those rods are please, or what you use on them
Watch you vid for the first time today very interesting i fish my self mostly in the autumn and winter off the shore but ive a question does it not feel intimidating to be out that far on your own i would bricking it i did go on the sea in a kayak many years ago a was out about 400 yard with other ppl and not happy lol but i was using a paddle i dont think i could do this or aye im a shit swimmer to .also have you ever been caught out when the sea comes away ? You wanted questions hahaha
Hi Richard, no I don’t find it intimidating in all honesty but then again I spend a looong time studying the conditions before a trip. It’s really a wind from the shore that’s the biggest threat as it’s damn hard to paddle/pedal into anything over 10mph and if that combines with the tide you could be in bother. It’s a bit scary when a fog descends but I’ve got my gps on my sonar so it becomes more about not being ran over by a trawler in truth. I have a very healthy respect for the sea! It’s a great sport though, if you take the right precautions it can be a lot of fun.
@@onthedropfishing thanks for getting back to me like i said im not a great swimmer but i think I'll be staying on dry land what happens if you capsized how do you right youself?
Another great video ! , your videos and sound are crystal clear, do you mind me asking how you are rigged up with the sound etc? I've an old gopro but sound is shocking bad
Glad you’re enjoying them 👍, I use separate system audio so basically I don’t use the GoPro sound at all, I record the audio separately and sync it later. Hope that helps.
@@onthedropfishing tired it from ma mate's boat year's ago... Cannit remember where we were though but one thing I can tell you though, it was bloody fantastic and the water was almost gin clear for about 5 maybe 6 metres down. Unfortunately I've been disabled now for about 12-13 year's... Was first diagnosed with MS nearly 10 year ago, but then re-diagnosed with MND 2 years ago so ma days of salt water fly fishing are just a memory now. But still like to get out shore and boat fishing when I can... Tight line's, stay calm, carry on and fish on 🎣🎣🎣👍
@@robertnicholson8456 Yes I’m gonna dig out an old 10 foot #8 rod and give it a shot soon. I’m sorry to hear about your MND diagnosis Robert. Great that you’re still getting out on the boats and the beach mind. Take care matey 🎣👍🎣
What more could you ask for.? Fishing in Gods country, flat calm, St Mary's in the background and catching fish, Heaven ! ( mind, I think the pull up at the boat yard may cause you to get a sweat on ) 😁You mentioned that you were so close in at one point, that it may be possible to lure fish from the shore at St Mary's, do you think it's worth a shot, and what lures would you use?
Hi Kevin, yeah it was a lush day. You might be better of at Seaton Sluice around Charlie’s Garden etc as now the seal colony is well established on the island it makes it difficult, you’ll also get a bit of hassle from the folk who look after them. Heart attack hill is no fun whatsoever at the end of a loooong day on the water 😂
Another phenomenal video. Great fun. Is that the standard pedal unit for the FX or have you changed/upgraded it? I noticed the red bits on it but don't see that in the pics on their website.
Thanks I’m glad you enjoyed it 👍 I love the pedals, it’s so much easier than paddling plus you’ve got your hands free to do stuff as you move from mark to mark. The ride is also much dryer as you’re in a raised seat plus no paddles in and out of the water all the time. The difference is amazing. A stadium seat is so much more comfortable as well.
Cheers Dan, glad you enjoyed it. I use longer rods from the shore but don’t like to use anything over 7 foot on the kayak. I’m using my 6 foot Rovex in this vid. Tight lines buddy 👍🎣
@@onthedropfishing canny whack it , I am a sib owner and love the initial bang for the pollack , it’s just the best feeling seeing them swim away could fish for them every day
Hi mate, another great video. Very imfomative. I'm just about to order one of these kayaks after many years using the old original sturgeon. Can I as what colour yours is? Graphite? And what trolley are you using? I've tried a few but never found one that was any good. Much appreciated, cheers.
Cheers man, yes mine is graphite. It’s a really nice colour. I use a C-Tug with Sandtrax wheels, THE best trolly in my opinion. I don’t know if you’ve watched it already but I did an unboxing and initial setup vid on the FX, here’s a link ua-cam.com/video/0cRzhWPz3zU/v-deo.html
@@onthedropfishing many thanks for the quick reply. I did watch the video and that's what made my mind up. I was looking at more expensive ones but from what I can see yours looks perfect for a bit of inshore fishing. I'll also have a look at the c-tug. Thanks for the quick reply and it's much appreciated. Regards, Baz
@@onthedropfishing only a couple inches and the small swell does go in over the sides I’m looking at getting one that lets next to no water over and just sits a bit higher out of the water
@@charlieking4498 My old sturgeon was a dry ride but the sturgeon fx is a very very dry ride, the stadium seat and the fact that you aren’t paddling makes a big difference.
Which is exactly why I got a kayak! 😂 Some days mind you still have to go a mile or two off but in the summer, quarter of a mile maybe less most days as long as your over the right marks.
I must admit I laugh more hearing your laughs to yourself, and liners like bobby dazzler that plenty other big UA-cam channels. What sounder you got now mate? You not thought about a sib instead of the kayak?
Someone complained about the laughing last week! 😂 I’m very happy with the kayak for now but I think there could well be a boat of some description on the cards at some point 👍 🎣🛥

@@onthedropfishing only a couple inches and the small swell does go in over the sides I’m looking at getting one that lets next to no water over and just sits a bit higher out of the water
@@charlieking4498 My old sturgeon was a dry ride but the sturgeon fx is a very very dry ride, the stadium seat and the fact that you aren’t paddling makes a big difference.
Another cracking video. Is there no bass there ?
Cheers Gavin, I’ve had the odd bass from the beach but they’re not here in any numbers to be honest.
Canny 😃👍👍🎣
Cheers Wayne 👍
You could stand on that beach 365 days a year, and catch fish occasionally. Paddle 300m off the beach and straight into the fish.
Which is exactly why I got a kayak! 😂 Some days mind you still have to go a mile or two off but in the summer, quarter of a mile maybe less most days as long as your over the right marks.
21.00 oh whats that hahahahababa
It wasn’t messing about was it!
@@onthedropfishing ill find out at half 4 in the morning when i get a few if the seals have left any
@@reelfishingsibandshore.851 I love the seals 🦭. Tight lines mate hope you catch 🎣👍
Non stop in the reefs north of the LH 4 pound wrasse, 5 pjs cod and doggys hammered us
@@reelfishingsibandshore.851 sounds like a canny session Paul…shame I’m working 😂
What kayak is it
Hi Chris, it’s a Galaxy Sturgeon FX- basically the flipper drive version of my old one. I’m really impressed with it 👍
@@onthedropfishing thank you 👍
I must admit I laugh more hearing your laughs to yourself, and liners like bobby dazzler that plenty other big UA-cam channels. What sounder you got now mate? You not thought about a sib instead of the kayak?
Someone complained about the laughing last week! 😂 I’m very happy with the kayak for now but I think there could well be a boat of some description on the cards at some point 👍 🎣🛥
@@onthedropfishing I'm not too far away Redcar area. I know a few lads with boats up your way, might give the bents a try myself. Keep your character showing in the videos, the smiling and the giggles. It's Uplifting, you get prats on UA-cam that don't understand the fact you can have fun alone... 🤷♂️
And for the lolz I've been telling my lass I want a Kevin and Perry hat like you wore in the last couple videos 😂
@@ENGDyna It’s a snowbee ranger and I think I look Cool AF in it 😂
Good vid but please stop the laughing
I’m making no promise like John 😂 Maybe stick the radio on?
What rod / reel set up you using...? I'm looing for another rod, but not sure whether to go for a light jigging rod, or a 'heavy' rod.....?
In this one Chris I’m using a Rovex Integra Gold 12-14 lb and a Daiwa 2500 size reel 👍
@@onthedropfishing Noted thanks...
