I like the home made baiting tool. Is that definitely 2.5mm stainless steel welding rod?
Hi mate, it’s actually 1.6 mm. I had a few questions about that and I must have had a rush off poo to the brain during the video.I will pin your comment to the top so most can see it. Cheers for watching again👍
What size dowel have you used for the one in the video? I’m thinking of making a few and in particular one using a section of brush handle for whole squid and big lug baits for uptiding.
@@Slow_Horse Hi mate the dowel in the vid is 12mm for my small baits, I have a few different sizes for different baits. Brush handle would be good size for big baits. For my larger baiting tools I use a few more prongs for support and the bait still slides off super easy after wrapping.
@@PiscatorUK-Fishing looking forward to making some, just had delivery of a pack of 60 steel welding rods 1.6mm, so it’ll give me something to do in this infernal lockdown!
@@Slow_Horse good mate, let me know how you get on, maybe share it on FB.
Great wee session. Well done.👍👍👍
When I have caught turbot there they have mostly come during the first two hours of the flood tide . Mostly small around a pound in weight .
Catch flounders , dabs , sea trout , bass and coalfish . Some Weaver fish get caught in the warmer months.
Enjoyable video.
Thanks John
Nice days fishing and great veiw , great video all round .
Thank you Robert much appreciated👍
brilliant stuff , just made me want to get rods out and head along to Dunbar this morning 🌄
Cheers mate, let me know how you got on Steven👍
Good scenery and fresh air. The fishing is a bonus.
Thank you Sir👍🎣
Another comment about the baiting tools. I made 3 of different diameters with stainless welding rod and I’ve been using them for a year. What a brilliant idea, I use them for baiting with absolutely everything. They are excellent for making squid/bluey wraps for ray fishing and with big crab baits for hounds. Made a set for a mate and he thinks they’re great too.
Cheers mate glad to have helped, if my videos help one person then I’ve achieved my aim. Tight lines mate and many thanks for the feedback👍
Cracking video. Excellent drone footage - spectacular.
Cheers Jim much appreciated👍
Great days fishing. Excellent video. Well done sharing the experience.
Cheers Tam, much appreciated👍
Fished this beach few times before and so far only had flounders,heard it does throw up odd turbot and bass mainly in the dark so hoping to go back next year ,good video mate
Cheers for your feedback, I’ll certainly be back the sometime
Great start mate super fishing.....
Good video, well presented. Nice to see big flounders still exist. 👍
Cheers for your feedback Andrew, much appreciated, yes nice to get a big flounder, we do get the odd one on the east coast👍
Nice way to start a session, especially on a new venue. Hope you find your measure on your trip back to the car.
Cheers, yes was chuffed to bits made the journey worth it just for that. Unfortunately didn’t find it on the way back, think I’ll get an adhesive measure for my box
Great informative video. Initially subscribed to watch your kayak fishing adventures. Enjoying the shore based too.
Cheers for the comments, I will do kayak fishing whenever I get a break in the weather, thanks again
Nice video, just subscribed.
Cheers buddy much appreciated👍
Cracking session. Thanks for sharing. Loved the drone footage, spectacular. Baiting tool was a great tip. I'm now on the lookout for some 2.5mm wire! 👍
Cheers for comments mate, sorry I made a mistake on the wire thickness, it was 1.6 mm, also if you want to make bigger baits just increase your dowel size if you want to use larger strips of fish, squid, razor clam or even fresh mussels. Thanks again and tight lines👍
@@PiscatorUK-Fishing No worries and thank you for replying. I'm out on the kayak tomorrow so fingers crossed
@@garethgrimshaw7839 no probs, I’ve been keeping an eye on the weather looks a bit more settled, hope to get out on the yak myself probably be freshwater tho
Good video mate lovely fish and nice part of the world makes yer want to get your rods out
Cracking vid. Hoping to head down that way end of April to hopefully target plaice. Got a few spots up by me that produce turbot.
Cheers Joe much appreciated, where are you about?
I'm up in Elgin. Travel all over. The club I run are doing a Scottish species hunt this year so lots of travelling.
@@qazwsxedcrfvtgb89999 cheers Joe, good luck with the species hunt, tight lines mate👍🎣
Nice one John, great session, funnily enough Iv just boust some small circles to try for the flatties sick of deep hooking and too many not making it back so great to see they work well. I might of missed it but would be good to see you actually lashing them on Iv struggled in the past using circles with bait elastic, something for ur next video!!! Cheers bud.
Cheers Nigel, my name is Douglas lol, yes can certainly include baiting up using the circle hooks in my next shore fishing video. I could have probably gotten away with using a 2/O circle hook, maybe try that too, thanks again👍
@@PiscatorUK-Fishing haha of course it's Doug as soon as pressed send I knew it was too late😁. Been watching fish locker b4 ur vid😂😂. Can't wait to try the circles tho👍
That’s a complement getting me and the fish locker mixed up. No probs buddy stay safe👍
cracking drone footage.
Cheers mate, hopefully much more to come
I used to fish mackerel strip on that beach into the dusk and get bass and flounder when I lived in the area. about 10 yeas ago. two rods as well the wee one just chucked out into the breakers (caught the bass) and the big rod cast out further - dabbs flounder and once a not very big turbot.
Cheers for the feedback, I was quite impressed with the flounder and for my session on the beach there. looking forward to trying different times of the year
@@PiscatorUK-Fishing I have to say my sessions were mid summer evenings and nights - that's when the bass came on .
@@dodmac1 cheers mate
Hi buddy. Some lovely flounder mate.Absolutly stunning scenery on the drone shots, looks amazing. I also made a 6 prong bait tool from a ballon whisk from Asda which I showed in my latest video ( golden balls fishes Hythe). I also use 1.6mm stainless welding rods to make some of my other baiting needle/ bait holders and bait clips too. Great videos, keep them coming, they are great my friend. Tight lines Steve
Thanks for the awesome feedback mate much appreciated. I think I said on the video that the stainless welding rod was 2.5 but I made a mistake it’s only 1.6mm too, I’ll check your vid out mate must have missed that one need to check the notifications on your channel. Thanks again
really enjoy your videos mate , your my fav fishing youtuber now, keep up the gd work
Much appreciated J, amazing feedback. Thanks for your support 👍
Thanks for the amazing comments check this video out. ua-cam.com/video/6Z3VR8i_Yno/v-deo.html
Just stumbled across your channel . I fish Seafield in Edinburgh regularly behind the treatment plant on the curved sea wall. Really good sport there. Fish not massive but decent amount of Dabs and Flounders and I've had codling and coalies out of there recently. Was there today and had another good session..Very underrated and overlooked venue and only a short walk where you can park your car from. There's a small beach down below also . Bluey is king for bait there but I've also caught on mackerel , black lug and whiting on squid rings from the supermarket. Would love to try Dunbar one day. Keep up the beach vids 👌
Cheers for watching mate, I used to fish seafield as a kid as I’m from and grew up in Edinburgh. I didn’t know that side of the pipe was any good,. I use to dig for lug and rag on that side. Cheers for the heads up on the venue I will certainly give I a go sometime. What tide states work best?
@@PiscatorUK-Fishing cheers for the reply. Yeah right behind the treatment plant on the walled walk. The best spot is where the graffiti says "end of acid". I've never blanked there. I used to fish behind the cat and dog home at Seafield but never had luck so moved down to the wall and it's produced really well for me. Today I chanced an earlier tide and it worked but I normally try and aim for a 4 or 5pm high tide in winter. I get there around half 1/2 then fish till about 6. People really turn their nose up at Seafield and I haven't a clue why. If you want just sport and don't mind what you catch then it's a really good mark
As for tide states I'd say a spring tide always best
@@gerbiljaws1377 cheers buddy much appreciated again, be good to get a variety of species on a session I’ve not caught any whiting on the east coast. Definitely give it a go👍
Dont think I have ever had flounder envy ,I have now😁 ,lovely clean fish ,,,subscribed 👍👍
Many thanks for the sub mate, much appreciated and thanks for watching 👍🏴
hi mate,
i was so wanting you to catch a turbot so much as i recommended the venue, maybe the pesky seal scared them away?lol
you seemed to be fishing exactly how i do apart from the squid. Sometimes a gripper is definitely required but at least you managed to get a few flatties. And your right the walk aint the best but it is worth it to fish such a lovely beach,
i fished there about 3 weeks ago and caught a couple of wee turbot, but mainly i fish it from april to october so maybe the turbot have gone further out..who knows?
another brilliant video ..keep up the good work..there is always next time..at least no blank lol...tight lines mate
Cheers Euan, I really enjoyed it mate, really appreciated the info, hope you didn’t mind me sharing. It would have been good to get a turbot but was really happy with the fishing, I will defo be back again tho. Maybe right about the time of year👍
Class video Turbot fishing from your Kayak would be class not at that time of year.
For sure it’s defo on my list mate
Great clonking flounder as you say great little dab and more flounder. A loverly days weather. How do you find time to fish film and fly the drone I struggle to film and catch fish😂😂😂. Very flat beach do you have deep beaches or is it at the rocks for deep water. Big bag of fish we’ll done.
Cheers Vernon, yeah one of my better sessions and really happy as it was a new venue for me. Most beaches are quite flat and shallow that I know of. Some do get deep but only at the high tide mark on a spring tide. That was my first time flying my new toy, as always cheers for the comments mate, stay safe fella👍🎣 Check this video out. ua-cam.com/video/6Z3VR8i_Yno/v-deo.html
Thanks for the upload, subscribed. What are your thoughts on fishing this beach/area at this time of year (end of feb/early march)? Will there be any fish?
Thanks for the Sub mate, definitely be fish there, got the chance of sea bass, turbot, flounder and dabs. I think you would get the odd codling after a storm at the south end of the beach. Where do you normally fish?
@@PiscatorUK-Fishing Thanks for the reply mate, will give it a go...just to clarify you are saying that there is the chance of fish at this time of the year? I've fished Burntisland most recently (although havn't been able to fish that much due to restrictions ofc) been three times and most success I had was two mystery fish that got bumped off by rocks just at the shoreline...In summer I fish the west coast, around Oban and Colonsay, and also a bit at Fife Ness and the Tay Estury...
@@masterblob7196 definitely worth trying at the very least there will be flounder and dabs
@@PiscatorUK-Fishing Will give it a go cheers
I've fished off Dunbar beach and St Abbs
Hi
Enjoyed the Dunbar session. I recently took up fishing again after a 20 year break, kids eh. Anyhow.. During September/October caught good size Sea Bass and Sea Trout from Seafield beach in Kirkcaldy. 5 of them around the 4.5lb mark. Worth a try in the future. Good tip you gave about the round hooks for Flatfish, started doing that recently too.
Cheers
Stevie
Cheers Stevie, much appreciated for the info, I will certainly be doing more travelling about next year trying different venues
Would you show me some cod moving water fishing near rocks soon regards
What do you mean, cod moving water,?confused mate
Really like your boom rig where you can take off the snoods. Can you give some dimensions?, as I want to build one.
Thanks
Hi mate, I think the booms are just light wire booms only about 10cm long, main rig body was 60-70lb but you would get away with 50lb. Booms 2 feet apart, you can have them closer together but you will need to fish short snood lengths. Snood length can vary from 10inch to 18 inch. It’s up to you really, just try different lengths to find what works for you. I prefer the longer snoods as I find them better for unhooking the flatties especially if you use attractor beads. Hope this helps?
@@PiscatorUK-Fishing Thank you very much
I prefer rods high just over the first breakers bite indication alot better
Cheers for the feedback Tom👍
Hi I live locally and have fished there many times some days caught nothing but Turbot
What rigs and bait do you use?
Two hook flapper or if it's really calm single hook running ledger with herring or mackerel fished really close in
@@malcolmmckimmie4370 cheers mate
which drone are you using, thanks
DJI Mavic Pro, cheers
Is this high or low tide
Fished low tide up to high tide
You should try Pirates Beach just b4 St Fergus if you’re after turbot the Scottish record was caught there and there’s usually plenty about
Cheers for the info, that’s a bit of a trek maybe try that one in the summer
@@PiscatorUK-Fishing it’s actually best the month of November when they are nice and fat and ready for spawning if there’s the slightest bit of weed, just pack up and go somewhere else cause you’ll catch nothing
Further back and low me :
Just subscribed to your channel, fantastic session you had there, shame you didn't get your target species. I am doing similar fishing on the other side in fife. Maybe you can have a look at my channel, thanks.
Cheers for the sub mate much appreciated, will certainly check your channel out buddy👍
Cracking video mate! If you get a chance check out my latest cod fishing video, I would really appreciate it! Tight lines buddy!
