Kayak Fishing for Pollack with Jigs & Lures
Вставка
- Опубліковано 3 бер 2021
- Days with this weather don't come round very often in the UK, especially in February, so loaded the kayak on the car and headed to my local beach. At 6c the water is still a bit cold for lure fishing but I know I can catch fish off the rocks with lures in winter, so why not kayak fishing?

im flyfishing off the beach at the minute, bass & Sea trout. Northumberland. the best thing is being in the water with waders on avoids the questions and dogs pissing on my bait bucket. A kayak is the next step up .....
Nice!! Those dog are a pain, owners are worse when they say "it'll wash off".
Crackin video as always mate - was good to see what we missed when the livestream took a dive (gutted!) - at least a few fish were landed for your efforts! I’d be interested in seeing a more in-depth depth view of the fish finder and how you read it to find shoals and marks in a future vid if you could. Dabbled in yak fishing briefly a decade ago but picked one up cheap in lockdown and wouldn’t mind doing some technology to it to maximise my limited time out there.
Liking the new logo and the add in pointers to the tackle you’re using in the vid too - great points of reference !
Keep em coming please - tight lines as always dude!
Cheers for the feed back dude! People say you don't need the tech but I'm a big believer in it, it doesn't catch you fish but it certainly helps take some of the guess work out finding them. I'll see if I can make a video on how and when to use is. Tight Lines🎣👍
Good stuff! On the lookout for a similar set up myself and also waiting for a video of your kayak set up. I'm sure it would interesting to your subs👍
I think you're right, a setup video is something I get asked for a fair bit. I'll get one sorted in the next couple of weeks 👍
Nice to see you out again, some nice fish too.
😎🎣👍🏼
Cheers dude, hope you can get out soon🎣👍
Nice little session.... Great camera work ... Nice Pollack ... Great fun thank you for putting this content together for us.... Lots of hints and tips 👍👍
My pleasure and thank you for watching!!
Very high quality production.
A tonic to see something at this time of year.
It is tough around this time. Glad you liked the video👍🎣
Like ya say just good to get out 1or 2 fish can't be bad can't wait to get out myself tight lines
Only a few more weeks to go mate, as long as Sturgeon opens the boarder for us
When you opened that little hatch in the car, I thought you were going to poke your head through Slippy!!!
I see you have taken your videos to the "next level".....and I like it.
Glad to see you got a couple of fish.....the last couple of trips.... I've blanked!!🎣
Haha like in The shining 'Here's Slippy!'... glad you liked the vid and hopefully you get amongst the fish on your next trip out!! Tight Lines👍🎣
@@SlippyLimpets 🤣
Good day fishing no blank good to watch tight lines stay safe till the next one
Cheers Liz, glad you liked it and tight lines👍🎣
Great day out. Thanks for sharing really enjoyed 👍🍺🎣
Glad you enjoyed it! 👍🎣
A few fish in February is a good result!
Looking on the webcam, it looked a glorious day to be out. Roll on summer!
It was, and nice to be out fishing in the day light too. Can't wait for the summer!
Based on Anglesey here... Went out to the same results as you.. very quite. Tide were huge and the swell my end was unreal... Ended up throwing up over the side of the kayak lol. That's only happened twice... Coming back though was 2 meter plus waves
That sounds pretty rough! Glad you made it back ok👍🎣
Nice one Nathan! Love how those pollock dig down
Aye, they put up a good scrap, even the little ones.
Another canny video canny video bud with a few fish to stop the blank. That track is steeper than it looks, spent many a day carrying my mates outboard motor up there as he had a boat in the yard at the bottom 🤣🤣. Look forward to your next video, all the best mate as always and tight lines Charlie 🎣🎣 ps, enjoyed the intro 👍👍
Rather you than me there mate, those outboards weigh a ton!!! 😂
@@SlippyLimpets was worth it to get out and wet a line and catch a few cod around the yellow can 🤣🤣👍👍
Great to see you out there, luv the intro. Keep it up
Thanks Steve!!
aw i love pollock 😊and coalies
the sea looks stunning
I knew from the forecast it was going to be calm but wasn't expecting it to be so glass like!
You just cannot beat it, lovely weather flat calm conditions, is nice, while it lasts, but sometimes we need a bit of chop to get the fish feeding,... one of us, as also got fish finder and gps on there's,...suppose if it helps them catch, lol a bit of a rib, as they will read this,....it's an on going joke,...between us lol, when we go out it looks like a kayaking club as turned up.,, When it's all just family, lol and before the lock down the women took the cup 👍👍 we have comps between us for fun, great video look forward to the next tight line's buddy, 🎣🐟🐟✊👍✊👍
My missus always out fishes me too, I've stopped taking her 😂 tight lines👍🎣
Thanks for taking me out with you. S'funny, my hands and feet stayed toasty warm😂
Not problem, glad you stayed warm too!
It goes to show even with today’s technology if the fish aren’t biting you can’t catch, but no blank, tight lines
Too true, all the tech in world can't make a fish bite. Tight Lines👍
Don’t know how you get thumbs down 👎 you videos are spot onto me well done
Cheers Carlo, appreciate that. Haters are always going to hate, as they say. Tight lines👍🎣
Very good Video. Next level
Cheers mate!
Great video nice pollock mate
Not the biggest pollack but a welcome blank saver
Eyup Nathan. I'm glad to see you're having it good up there fella 'cos if I don't wet a line this April I'll be on the news. Sithi after, Dave.
Stick with it Dave! There's only a few more weeks to go until the travel restriction ease
nice fish and great video, keep 'em up
Thanks, will do!
The suns a right pain in the a*** at this time of year, low, bright and blinding.
It is but it was nice to be fishing in the daylight for a change!
@@SlippyLimpets lol. True
Nice video as always. I liked the start it is similar to TA Fishing a winning combo. Keep up the good work and tight lines fella
Thanks for the feedback and glad you liked it. Tight lines 👍🎣
Cracking Nathan, hard going at the moment but you done ok 👍
It seems that way, there were plenty of others out but not much landed, even on bait. Hopefully it improves as the sea warms up. Thanks again Peter and tight Lines👍🎣
Iwent out in the kayak probably on the same day. Spent 6 hours on the water..not a bite!
Sorry to hear that, hopefully next time 🤞
All things considered, you did canny. At least you had a good day out. Nice one,
I wasn't expecting much but like you said, it was just nice to be out👍
Enjoyed the extra info you put in. Jig size ect 👍.
Thanks Greg, I'll make sure I do it more often👍👍
Nice one again ! Enjoyed that and as you say February on non-bait fishing is always going to be a tough one. I thought showing the phone and contours made for good viewing. Also that was a smooth landing at the end,good work.
Cheers Matt, glad you liked it, and appreciate the feedback. Tight Lines
Just bought a fishing kayak for the first time so these videos help a lot. I like the edits on what lures your using ect cheers for the help
Thanks for the feedback, I'll stick more of this info in next time round👍🎣
You were going down as I was leaving, it was a cracking day out there. Good to see you got a couple.
Where you the guy I met in the car park?
@@SlippyLimpets yes mate
Entertaining vid nice weather and some crackin Pollack, what more can ya wish for. . . Being out there myself! ! ! 😎 tight lines stay safe 🎣🎣👍
Only a few more weeks to wait now mate!
@@SlippyLimpets woo hoo ! ! ! Better start sorting me stuff out 👍👍🎣🎣😄 tight lines!
Another good watch , I'm hoping lockdown eases so I can head over west , you would have some fun on the kayak over there 👍
Been over a few times last year, great fishing, I'm planning on heading over just as soon as the border open and we can travel again
I look forward to the footage 👍
Great vid ..
Cheers!!
Excellent stuff. Thanks for this. Next time the sea flattens off, show us some bait fishing off St Marys!!
No problem at all. Do you mean bait fish from the shore or yak?
@@SlippyLimpets Hi mate. I meant from the Yak. I've been Yakking off Whitley for the past few years and have found that baiting my rigs means consistent codlings and pouting. I can't be arsed going out in the cold so I love watching you putting in the effort - - living vicariously! Tight lines.
Really enjoy all your content mate, but especially the kayak stuff. The profish 400 looks a nice yak.
It's a cracking boat mate, cockpit can be a bit damp in the chop compared to my old OK Prowler because the bow digs in, but I can easily live with that
@@SlippyLimpets I was looking at the 400 as an upgrade, but I've stumped up for a reload instead. I figured I deserved a treat. Be nice to see you hitting some bass on the yak this year, covid allowing. Tight lines bro.
oi oi slippy nice to see you out doing a session may not be the biggest bag of fish but its better than watching the tv .. and was it camera angle or was that last bit of pulling the kayak a mother of a hill it looked well steep ...take care mate stay safe and have fun
Yeah mate, that hill is as bad as it looked, it gets called heart attack Hill for obvious reasons😂 Glad you liked the vid.👍🎣
A tip I've been given with heart attack hill.... Let your kayak go down in front of you. It's so much easier than trying to control it from being in front of it.
It's going back up the hill that does me in but I'll give that a go next time out. Cheers for the tip!
@@SlippyLimpets When going uphill... I found side steps work better than normal pulling. Let your kayak wheels drop into each step (rut?) at the bottom third - which I find is the worst. You're then able to find your footing with each step instead of possibly slipping. A step then pull, step then pull. Once on the cobbles it's easy.
I used those Mental Metals, on your recommendation, up in Skye in September and they were lethal.
Nice one! I love it when a recommendation works out for someone.👍🎣
most things work in Skye. YOu can topwater fish up there even in winter.
Love your fishing, just wondering what trouser and shoes do you recommend for kayak fishing?
Thank you
Glad you like it. I use a pair of Peak UK Explorer salopetts, but any dry pant will do. For my shoes, i just use a pair of old trainers with any lining removed. Hope this helps
I was interested in the " back winding " technique you were using about halfway through the video ( when you had the 60gr Fiish black Minnow on ) - is that to give you a controlled drop ? Not a method I would have thought of .
Yeah it's to control and present a more natural sink rate of heavier lures and help keep them near the bottom. It doesn't work with the lighter lures though, you end up in a tangle!
Cracking video mate. Im thinking of getting myself a kayak for my holidays in Cornwall. Do you have any advice on what kayak to get. Cheers Paul
I've had and paddled a few different yaks now and this Viking Profish 400 Lite is by far my favourite, stable, very lightweight for a mid range yak and surfs great too.
Cheers mate much appreciated I'll take a look. Cheers Paul
Awesome as always mate, just wondering hoe accurate those navionics maps are mate, I've just downloaded them onto my phone, cheers 👍👍
It's about as accurate as you can get from a boat. Generally, if it's on the map then you can find it. Tight Lines!!
@@SlippyLimpets excellent mate, thanks for the reply, keep up the great content 👍
What weighted jigs you using for catching the pollock on, whats any good for cod just plain old black minnow jellys.... Cheers mate ill see you out there 1 day no doubt 👍
Typical, the only weight I didn't put in the video was the one that caught the fish!! It was a 40g Razor Claw Silver Minnow, these are lethal for cod too, and way cheaper than the minnows.
You been on a filmmaker course?
Excellent as always
😂 Just celebrating the fact I was fishing in the daytime and could actually film an intro
I am going up the west coast of Scotland as soon as life returns to normal for some LRF action. Can you recommend and areas? Pollack and wrasse are my main focus, never caught either and never caught a sea fish on a lure after many years of beach angling around the brid area.
It's a great are a round there, When I head that way then I tend to go to the Mull of Galloway, (MOG) Port Logan or Port Patrick. Plenty of Pollack and Wrasse
@@SlippyLimpets nice one cheers for that. North or south of the ports? Or either. Going up on the bike so gonna do some touring around the coast, see what else is about. Anyone else got any suggestions?
Hi slippy,any tips for sea kayaking at this time of year,I know it's very cold and the water can be hypothermic so trying to be as safe as possible.should u wear a wetsuit or drysuit,brilliant video as always mate 👍
A dry suite is the safest and warmest thing to wear mainly because you can wear plenty of insulating layers under it. A wetsuit is good at keeping you warm in the water, but if you end getting it wet and then sit on your yak then they lose lots of heat because of the wind chill. Hope this helps👍
@@SlippyLimpets cheers 👍
I follow your videos with intense interest, can you tell us the make of your kayak please .
Yeah no problem, it's a Viking Pro Fish 400 Lite. Hope this helps
There are some exercises you can do alone to keep your jigging muscle memory....👍
🤣🤣
How do your feet not get wet when they are hanging in the water?
I'm wearing dry pants, which have built in socks to stop the water getting in
Thank you, I found the salopettes! Videos are amazing keep up the good work!
Thanks buddy, will do 👍
where are you based
Based in Northumberland
First.. Why ayeeee!
Gerrin mate!👍
@@SlippyLimpets sad bastard eh 😂
😂 not at all mate 👍
@@SlippyLimpets great vlog style start, looked great
