Thanks Alex always appreciate your comments mate, that last one in the video mate!! Cracking fight! Let’s hope this is a sign of bigger fish to come from now on 😂😀
Well done bud that last sea trout you got was the daddy man lol..your videos are superb and it's good u like to contribute your style and tactic to help others out there so better of listing to a man that knows an shows you how it's done..Well done again
Thanks Scott, always appreciate your comments, I thought I may as well just share what is working for me at the moment, I know it’s not complex or very in depth but it’s a good starting point for anyone who wants to get into this area of fishing 😁 Thanks again mate let me know if you fancy coming down this way for a fish 🎣
@The Angling Front no worries atall mate. A was away to st abbs last Sunday for a session but only manages 2 coalies it's a longway from Rutherglen for 2 coalies god but yeah would be up for a bit if sea trout action..just get some of they spinners from the angling centre and head down your way cool will keep that in mind mate cheers
Brilliant video, and plenty of top tips too. I will try those super shads soon, its so easy to stick to my usual lures, and more often than not on that mark I'm using 7g tobies if conditions allow. Well done and thanks for sharing.
I used to attach a snap swivel but I think my catch rate has improved since I switched to tying the lures direct to the mainline. Of course it could just be a coincidence! Do you have any views?
Great stuff 👍 My biggest problem is keeping them on the hook, I know mono would be better than braid but I mostly fish fast tides and kelp where large bass and pollack are a regular by catch not to mention heavy snags so not really an option. I'm going to try long 20lb flouro leader to the reel if the wind ever turns from the east.

Great video, good to see people sharing info too. Was wondering if this video was taken recently? Thinking of giving the sea trout a go soon, unsure how good it’ll be in the warmer months. Do you normally still get a good amount of sea trout in summer? Cheers!
Hi b1 this was filmed last weekend and thanks for the feedback it’s much appreciated, the sea trout seem to really active in the summer months, and I’ve been catching them all year round
Love the PAYG attitude with the gear. Im the same anything a step up from Chinese seems to catch decent fish for me. Seeker's are the boys! Zerlings are also effective 👌
Used to catch a lot of sea trout on a 12g Abu krill or bridun lance lure. Would lose more than landed as they throw hook so easy . This changed the i day added 2nd split ring at business end and hardly ever lost a fish from then on . Best tip I can add .
That’s awesome, I started adding a hook clip with a swivel, literally so I could change from lures to soft plastics and even then I can notice a difference in hooking, really appreciate your advice Kevin
@theanglingfront I think it's same principle as when we used to add extra swivel on Abu tobys when salmon fishing . Because of shape of the toby it can have a crowbar effect ripping hook out with the leverage . Sea trout are soft in the mouth and extra ring just doesn't give then the leverage when thrashing about .
@articledimension-im6ij Hi mate, yeah I’ve had them on everything, anything with a bit of bling on it seems to work well, they are sometimes crafty especially when they are making appearances but no hits, can be frustrating but it’s always a good sign when I see them!! I’d suggest just sticking at it and keeping the lure on the surface, fast retrieves 😁🎣
Thank you Saul, really appreciate that, some people say I have a mixture of Scottish and English in my accent apparently 😂 thanks for commenting mate 🤘🏻🎣
Thanks for this I’m going to the stone field hotel on loch fyne in a couples of weeks for a few days l will buy a few of these lures to try never caught a sea trout fished loch fyne loads only ever caught mackerel pollock coal fish wrasse and dog fish maybe the lures where to big 30g Abu Toby’s and mackerel bait thanks
Thanks Grant, appreciate it, and 12 Gram lures I feel are a lot more versatile, they emulate the real bait fish accurately, I have caught quite a few Sea Trout up Loch Fyne, however with the mackerel coming closer to shore at this time of year, targeting sea trout will be a tad bit harder as you may get plagued with Mackies 🤣 but it’s always worth a shot grant, Good luck and tightlines mate
Great vid as are a lot of your other stuff!! Im mainly a bass lure angler, fishing Anglesea, north and midd wales. I see alot of sea trout and am planning to really have a go for them next season. In your opinion is it worth trying for them early season? My bass fishing tends to start late April, wondering if i should spend the month before targeting sea trout??
Hi Dunc, really appreciate your comment, means a lot mate, and for me personally, last year targeting Sea Trout from February and March was extremely successful, they were really active during the earlier part of the season here on the west of Scotland, so I reckon it’s defiantly worth it Dunc!!
@theanglingfront2555 unfortunately the freshwater season applies to saltwater here in Wales, pretty its similar in the rest of the UK. Scotland might be slightly different. Anyway I can't legally target them until April 1st. I suppose I could target an unlikely Feb/march bass with ummm say small metals like tobys and super sprats 😜 any sea trout "accidentally" caught would be returned anyway. I'd imagine they'd be really out of condition so wouldn't make great eating
Thanks Stiofain, appreciate it that mate, and the smaller Sea trout were caught using a 12 gram super sprat however the biggest sea trout in the film was caught using the seeker, which I am currently really enjoying using as you said plenty of movement 😁
Love your videos mate. Just returned from my first ever sea trout fishing holiday with my dad in Durness. Do you recommend anywhere local to Ayrshire/Glasgow for some good sea trout fishing for a beginner? Cheers bud
Thanks Craig, really appreciate that mate, how did you get on? And Local to Glasgow I would suggest the Clyde Estuary mate! However you will need to purchase a permit, as for Ayrshire I am not completely clued up on that area unfortunately, Hope your fishing holiday was good Craig 🤘🏻🎣
Another good one Michael. The fish don't know how much we spend on gear it's more about what works for us as individuals. Another lure to look at is the Fisheagle Hunt. Very similar lure but half the price. Ps is that a new rod? I've always liked Abu gear always find it to be value for money. I might give you a shout next time I get a chance to head up.
Thanks Red appreciate that mate, and yeah Abu Garcia Devil, I think it’s a great bit of kit for the price! Really liking my new reel also, it’s Fox Rage 2500 smooth as hell, again all relatively cheap 😁
Great video very informative never fished the west before going to try this year was thinking Helensburgh area is it any good also where do you get permit thanks
Thanks Derick, appreciate that, yeah Helensburgh and surrounding areas are excellent with regards to sea trout fishing, as for the permit, Tickers Tackle in Helensburgh supplies them mate, hope this helps, tightlines
New to this style of fishing and i live on a big harbour. What kind of water an i looking for to target these? Deep? Shallow? Gullies ? Etc. Do they basically swim in the same spots as bass?
Hi taz, my ideal starting point for Sea Trout is Sandy shingle shallow water, any place that has a freshwater river in it normally holds sea trout, I have also caught a few bass when targeting them also 😀
Hi Jack, really appreciate the feedback, and to be honest I’ve used different gauges of line from 4 - 8 pound mono and they are all personal preference, I personally like 8 pound as I fish over Rocky outcrops and the 8 pound still casts very well too 😃
Thank you mate, really appreciate that, with regards to speed, I prefer constant and fast, I feel the more erratic your lure moves along the waters surface the more attention it seems to gather, but this is just personal preference 😁
Hi Stacey, I’ve always fished for sea trout using lures or Fly fishing, I have never used bait personally, however my friend does and he always recommended using either small strips of mackerel or Sandeel on a float, sorry I couldn’t be of much help for bait fishing for them
Would I be alright using 12lb diawa sensor with a 6lb fluro hook length? I’m going to get lighter mainline for sea trout soon but will it work in the meantime? Had a few small sea trout on the worm with 3lb hook length to start the year off, it’s my first ever proper season targeting trout. Tight lines 🎣
Hi mate, I reckon that would be decent, I personally use 6 Pound mono straight through, haven’t had any issues yet, also had a very nice sea trout a couple of weeks ago using 4 pound mono. Thats awesome you managed a few sea trout on the worm! Let me know how you get on this season mate, tightlines 🤘🏻🎣
@@1xtremeaudio Hi man, Appreciate it thanks and you need a permit regardless, the season starts from the 11th of February till 31st of October, that’s the only time you are allowed to fish for them. I buy the Clyde Estuary permit which covers a lot of water to be able to fish for them legally, Hope this helps mate 😁🤘🏻
@@theanglingfront Thanks for getting back to me. Are you able to buy a day ticket or is it seasonal and can you buy them online? I caught my first sea trout this year and I’m now hooked!
@@1xtremeaudio Well done on the sea trout man, many more to come I hope for you, and I usually buy my permit from a tackle shop in Helensburgh Called Tickers Tackle, I always buy the seasonal permit but I’m fairly certain there is a day or weekend ticket you can purchase
Hi mate, yeah they can be very mysterious sea trout, it’s strange they sometimes can be very picky at what they eat but other times they could just be constantly hitting your lure, I suppose that’s the fun of trying to catch them 😁
Were is it you are fishing. Live in Eastkilbride. And looking to fish the coast more. Usual fish freshwater on the fly. But fancy the fly on the sea also. Heading to uist soon.
Hi! I am here for fight not for food fir sure. Usud to catch barbel in England. Moved to Stirlingshire following my job needs I wish to catch some fish here. Tell me please where ti start for sea trout please . Regards and respect tou You!
Hi mate, firstly you will need to check for your local permit, ofcoarse this depends where you are fishing, I fish mostly Clyde estuary so that’s the ticket I buy, but in my opinion if you are fishing the salt water/estuaries I always try find a a fresh water entrance into the water and try to fish low tide as much as I possibly can, I think if you find that fresh water entering the sea you will more than likely have a good chance of catching them I think, they are in huge numbers round the west coast and they are awesome to catch 😁 but I’m not a expert, I’m only going what I personally find promising,
Hi mate, yeah there is a law, you must purchase a permit for catching sea trout in the sea here on the west of Scotland, never fished up at all near kirkaldy, where is your go to place up there mate? And is it decent?
I can understand having to purchase a permit for river fishing, as the river/s go through estates and land owners property! But surely the sea is free too fish in! Gosh I fished for Mackerel for years when I was younger, yet there were never any talk in having to purchase a permit! @@theanglingfront
You must have permit to fish for migratory fish (salmon and sea trout). It is possible to catch sea trout when targeting other species such as pollock but, unless you have a permit, you must return them. There is a distance (which I can't remember), which if you're fishing within that distance of the mouth of a river that has migratory fish then you must obtain a permit. If a bailiff catches you taking a sea trout without a permit he has the power to seize anything that facilitated the catching of that fish, up to and including the vehicle you travelled in. On the plus side, there are no rod licences in Scotland.
@@kevinmould6979 Bollocks ..The Sea is free to all no matter what u try conjure up ..If fishing in lochs they normally are permit only ..The sea is Freedom 👍
Hi Joe, I have used strips of mackerel or Sandeel before, only ever used herring for conger fishing, but I found that the herring was very brittle, maybe I was doing it wrong?
@@robertwallace4393 I quite like Rhu for them, always see plenty of them jumping there, would love to try for them again once this abysmal weather calms down 😂
Great fishing mate 🎣 do you use the trebles on those seekers I always use single hooks after witnessing the carnage trebles can cause especially with sea trout . Tite lines
Thanks mate, and yeah I debarb the hooks but singles are definitely the way forward, going to incorporate them into my next few sessions next time I’m using the lures, 🤘🏻🎣
@@theanglingfront can miss one or 2 but with the good fishing ur having there I'd definitely use the singles not only less damage but so much easier to un hook and release The line through seekers help with hookups too as cant use the wrieght of the lure to throw the hook . I watch a lot of Scandinavian sea trout lure fishing worth a look too Tight lines🎣
Hi mate, thanks, I don’t really pay close attention with regards to conditions to be honest, as long as it’s not windy I like to try cast the fly rod, and if I’m feeling like using the metal lures that day I will cast them instead, it’s just what I feel is the most enjoyable that day 😁
Hi David, your probably right, I’m still terrible at guesstimates on weights as I’ve never actually weight a fish before, I always just go off what people who have think it could be
Excellent session. Inspiring. Thank you.
Thanks Paul, really appreciate it mate, 🤘🏻

@@robertwallace4393 I quite like Rhu for them, always see plenty of them jumping there, would love to try for them again once this abysmal weather calms down 😂
@@theanglingfrontnever seen them at Rhu… I’ve tried so many times for them too
Right then……
When we doing the collaboration??
I will defiantly be up for that Sparta 🤘🏻🎣
Where is it your fishing bud
Ok
Great fishing mate 🎣
do you use the trebles on those seekers I always use single hooks after witnessing the carnage trebles can cause especially with sea trout .
Tite lines
Thanks mate, and yeah I debarb the hooks but singles are definitely the way forward, going to incorporate them into my next few sessions next time I’m using the lures, 🤘🏻🎣
@@theanglingfront can miss one or 2 but with the good fishing ur having there I'd definitely use the singles not only less damage but so much easier to un hook and release
The line through seekers help with hookups too as cant use the wrieght of the lure to throw the hook . I watch a lot of Scandinavian sea trout lure fishing worth a look too
Tight lines🎣
@@peterjohnston4472 Yeah agreed, I will have a look, and thanks for the advice it’s much appreciated
Nice video.
What conditions make you decide to use:
- bombarda plus fly
- metal lure e.g. ISP
- Fly rod ?
Hi mate, thanks, I don’t really pay close attention with regards to conditions to be honest, as long as it’s not windy I like to try cast the fly rod, and if I’m feeling like using the metal lures that day I will cast them instead, it’s just what I feel is the most enjoyable that day 😁
Looks 1 and half
Hi David, your probably right, I’m still terrible at guesstimates on weights as I’ve never actually weight a fish before, I always just go off what people who have think it could be
Hi
Is it the line thru seeker you use?
It was the savage gear seeker Sandeel pattern and the line straight through was 8 pound Diawa sensor 🎣
