Watched this video yesterday and made my first ever rig copied from here wessex rig caught a plaice on first cast That has never ever happened before EVER I have fished loads over the last year and got a bit disheartened with only catching doggies and odd dab and blanking a lot But today I went to antrim coast and caught 15 fish Plaice pollack loads of rock fish loads of wrasse and a 2 and a half pound ballon wrasse that I was over the moon with couldn't stop smiling after that one my son was lifting fish and crabs out for fun with rag on a hook nothing else Thanks for all your tips grahme there amazing Such a good day Got hooked all over again
Lovely job Graeme. I use that rig in the harbour sometimes. Been using ledgers a bit less now, the crabs never seem to stop this year probably something to do with sea temperature. tend to be using tall rig bodies and short snoods
as always great work. I will definately be trying that method of straightening line a sea fishing freind of mine told me to get the coils out by running the lenghth of line over your knee while under tension seems to work but theres a niggling little doubt in my head that suggests i may just be putting a long arch into the line and it not being such an efficient method. 🖒
p.s i cant understand why you are not on t.v yet. You seem to be an awesome character and your attention to all round fishing rather than a specific genre alongside your knowledge mean you could contend with the likes off rex hunts classic work in my eyes.
Hey love the vids with this Wessex rig couldn't you use an upside down genie clip about half way down the rig so you can clip the ledger up when casting
Hello Mike and hello to the team... I need some help here to overcome some frustration please. What is the best set up for beach fishing with ROCKS on the ground, Every single time, my stuff get stuck as soon as I wheel in. Any help would be lovely. Thank you very much in advance ! ! Side note: I drone Fish and cast out way above 500 meter from the beach.
Nice simple rig...Thanks for that, just love these video's. Cant wait to have a go at beach fishing . just a couple of questions, whats the best time of year to catch whiting..and could you use this rig with 2 small hooks ?...Thanks..
Depends what you are after,but no reason why not.I have been using mostly 50lb this winter and its made no dropoff in catches at all,plus tangles less.
Just found this video Graeme, thanks very much for posting it, so helpful.

Nice one Graeme, I might try that in an up coming competition, but maybe have two short snoods above and the longer one below.
Great intro takes! really like the rig explanation
brilliant rig
thank you ! you're a good teacher
Brilliant as usual ! Could you tie a stop knot to stop lead flying up line during a cast?
really good tips and vidoe living them keep it up use 2 x

do you catch much when you went to selsey?
Hi Mike ,
How long should the shock leader be?
Great vid👍🏽
Length of your rod.A few turns around your reel spool and about a 3 foot drop from rod top to your rig
AWESOME !!
"Don't want to do my nails." Bwahahaha!

Can only speak for British fishing but generally October to February would be considered Whiting time.
+TAFishing OK.. thanks for replying
Hey! I've always used a size 12 hook for carp, would you recommend using a bigger size?
Only if you want to use a bigger bait. I use a size 4 most of the time.
would you be able to use a 35lb line for the trace?
Depends what you are after,but no reason why not.I have been using mostly 50lb this winter and its made no dropoff in catches at all,plus tangles less.
sorry....... me again lol, is this predominantly for use off boats or could it be easily adapted for casting.
This is really a shore fishing rig.No reason not to try it boat fishing.
I completely overlooked the fact it shows you casting from the shore at the beginning of the vid lol school boy error.
