Cod & Pollack on Lures | Small Tackle Change Brings Big Results
Вставка
- Опубліковано 9 жов 2021
- The time I fished this mark I fished it tide down and it was great with a couple of pollack and some nice cod on lures using HRF tackle. This time round I fished it tide up and had the same results, confirming to me that it's quite a good mark, despite the sketchy descent. The powerful ground swells made it a bit tricky but great to get back to doing some HRF fishing after all of the bass fishing I've been doing lately

brilliant as always thanks. every time you hear the slippy limpets owl call you know somethings going down. hoo hoo 🦉😃👍🏻
Haha. Not sure where the owl call came from but have had another word with my self to stop it😂
@@SlippyLimpets haha, divent be daft - owls are very wise hoo hoo 🦉
Fair point! It's probably worse because I hear the same clip numerous times... Think I could use that on a T-shirt design." Fish wisely, Hoo Hoo"
I can’t really get out fishing myself, so watching you fishing trips is they next best thing 😉
Hope you can get out soon mate. 🤞
tight lines to you asap! Greets from germany
Hello Germany! thanks for watching and tight lines 👍🎣
Hi you fished of budle pier a few month back where's the best place to park up
Hi Mark, you can either park at the golf course in Bamburgh, or there are a couple of lay-bys on the main road into Bamburgh when heading traveling from Warren Mill. The lay-by is a bit closer than the golf course. Hope this helps
You have some great scenic shots on this video. I'm so awed by the geology I almost forget about the fishing.
Good to here that my plan is working😂 I'm lucky enough to fish in some amazing areas so I like to share the experience. Thanks for the comment
I can learn from this, I often continue to do things that aren't working, need to change it up a bit
It's an easy trap to fall into and and the changes don't need to be massive- sticking a bigger hook on was the key for me on this day.
Looks like fun and a great place to spend the day!
That's fishing right there, much appreciated and fabulous to watch, keep them coming.
Glad you liked it and thanks for taking the time to comment. Tight lines!
Top quality vids as usual 👍. Watching your vids has taught me so much about lure fishing, thank you 😀.
Happy they're useful!!
Really enjoying your vids. Only recently got back onto fishing and super keen on lure fishing. Had a great trip recently on the south east coast with bass and mackerel. Now looking for a proper lure rod. Keep em coming!
Just doing the same thing. ( gearing up for some spinning sessions) I haven't had " chuck " for nearly 10yrs 🤦♂️🤦♂️. Tight Lines mate 😉 👍
That's a proper kelp cod with them colours, absolutely beautiful 😍 ❤
Love catching those locals!
Don’t think my knees would put up with that anymore. 😂😂
Mine are feeling it these days
Quality as usual thanks.👍👍👍🎣🎣🎣
Thanks Glen!!
fantastic session, well done.
Thanks matey 👍 🎣
Great video mate always enjoyable👍🐟
Thanks 👍
Slippy the Mountain goat !
Where?!😂
@@SlippyLimpets Gallivanting down that Cliff , Drone shot ...mint footage .
Ah, I get you 🤣
Cracking video there! And definitely some big swells there too 🌊
They were proper ground swells, not that big but plenty of power behind them. Thanks and glad you liked it!👍🎣
Hi, I know that mark but no way I'd ever get to it.
I'd also like to thank you for inspiring me to return to sea fishing and especially lure fishing. Got my first ever pollack today at North Berwick, under 2lb but great sport, safely returned.
Thanks for all the videos.
That's awesome!! Glad you found the fish and really happy I can inspire with my footage- makes the effort worthwhile. Long may it continue and tight lines!!👍🎣
Where did you get the pollock in north Berwick?
Hi mate, there`s a bit of rock over the wall east of the harbour along from the Seabird Centre cafe, Easy to get onto. The water isn`t too deep but the fish are there.I was casting kinda parallel to the beach.
Probably mackerel as well right now. Good luck.@@bibcay2622
Great footage with the drone 👍🏻
yet again another cracking video mate , the fish were stunning plus the drone footage was brilliant, stay safe
Lush mate, glad you liked it. Always appreciate your comments!
Great video as usual! 👍
Thanks again Gary!
Great video mate.
Glad you liked it 👍
Mountain goat comes to mind 🤔😁 Fantastic content as usual. Photography amazing 👍🐟🐟🐟
As always, thanks for the comment and glad you liked it!!!
Superb well done 🐟
Thank you👍🎣
Loved the vid and the stunnin drone footage, a nice mixed bag of fish too. Interesting to hear your tackle theories as well am deffo gonna try some next time. . . Ta tight lines 🎣
Always helps to change up if what you're doing isn't working. Got nothing to lose really. Tight lines mate👍🎣
@@SlippyLimpets cheers yeah you're right especially bout the drop time with the lighter cheb's n hook size, makes sense ! ! Tight lines mate 🎣
Awesome video mate, amazing scenery , watching from 🇮🇪
Hello 🇮🇪. Thanks mate, glad you liked it
An honest days fishing-perseverance pays off-good to see you with a net nowadays.
My stubbornness paid off in the end. Can't believe it's taken me this long to have finally got one, don't leave home without it now
@@SlippyLimpets Looks a good net,safer for you and the fish!👍
Another fantastic video pal 👍👏👌😀🙌❤
Glad you enjoyed it🙌🙌👍🎣
Loved the video! You sure cover some tricky and dangerous ground to get too Marks and give us some enjoyable fishing content. Great scenery and some beautiful colouration on the fish. Thankyou from Northern Ireland. Tight Lines 👍
N.B. loved your Orkney adventure
Thanks Peter!! My thinking is that the harder the mark is to get to then the less pressure it has had and the greater the chance of catching is. Obviously there's a limit but 20 years of climbing/mountaineering experience is helping alot. Gladnyou liked the vids and thanks for taking the time to comment. Tight Lines👍🎣
20yrs of climbing and mountaineering gives you the confidence to go down those tricky ledges and that adds to the content of your videos and targeting bigger fish I guess. I was a keen hillwalker in my earlier days but never went off the beaten track intentionally. Again well done and I'll stick to the sandy beaches we have here due to my disability.
Keep the videos coming stay safe and tight lines 👍
one minute in and I'm going, "wow, now here's a guy that really loves to fish".
You got that right, I really do. Thanks for watching and your comment👍🎣
I was diving at St Abbs with gannets passing me at 20m. Great video, thanks.
Opening shots from the drone.........superb, my wife had to leave the room, couldn't watch😣. Some nice fish won and lost, and when it's time to move.......one more cast lol. Great to watch and enjoy, even though your lures took a hammering, it's all part of the game. Already looking forward to the next round.
Weirdly, mine was the same when I showed her the footage!! Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment, really appreciate it!!
Some smart fishing there mate, good choices once you switched on. Your photography I getting better and better with the drone use, and the colours on those Cod mate, I holy moly...
Cheers mate. Always find it strange when I fall into the 'that'll do' mentality when I know the setup that normally works🤔
good man love the vids
Thanks, glad you like them 😊
That was a crackin’ video.
"Sketchy" descent, That's an understatement! Heart in the mouth stuff watching you tackle those cliff faces. Your drone operator deserves a mention, stunning work again.
I think you’ll find he’s also flying the drone. I’m sure he’ll let us know 👍
@@123boat I did wonder, so tackled a steep cliff descent with fishing gear and operating a drone at the same time! 😳
@@JW-wp1qt The drone you can set to follow yourself without using the controls, very clever. Makes me feel cold when I watch him climb up or down some of those cliffs 🥶🐟👍
@@123boat that is clever,, with stunning results as in a previous video with the bass attacking a top water lure, that was epic.
@@JW-wp1qt Yes it was a cracking video. Never tire of watching his videos 👍🐟
oi oi slippy .. hell of a climb for fishing . but i do love the colour on the cod up your way ... take it easy dude tight lines and have fun
Aye John, those local kelpy's cod are a mint colour. Shame they don't taste as good as a fresh run one. Tight lines dude 👍🎣
glad you had a word wi yersel mate
Aye, it definitely did the trick!!
What a true Geordie, shorts and T shirt the end of September, must have gone below zero when you put the jacket on lol ? I'll send you a Gansey for next February, you look in grand fettle lad, enjoying every minute, as am I with your awesome videos - thank you.
Nathan usually rolls his sleeves down when it goes below freezing so he's going soft. He's got a candle at home instead of a gas boiler and when it gets really cold he lights it. :-)
P.S. He nicked the candle off a birthday cake. And he's had it for three years.
Thanks so much David, thanks for the offer of a Gannsey but I might overheat wearing one haha!! Really glad your enjoying the vids!!
@@davedawson9851 reminds me of way back in the 70's I bought a hand warmer for winter cod fishing. In those days it was lighter fluid not gas, you soaked it set it alight and it glowed giving off warmth. One night about 0200 I thought 'By that hand warmers working well' I looked down and smoke was coming out of my Barbour jackets pocket, it was working too well.
Eyup Nathan. I feel like I've been fishing again - booming water, diving birds and the lovely bend in the rod. I love being reminded what a lot of daft monkeys we are compared to a Gannet on a mission. Just imagine her moment before she hits the water. Now that's fishing. I'll sithi after, Dave.
Alreet Dave, they are spectacular birds! I've watched the footage of her hitting the water frame by frame and it's amazing how far they tuck their wings back right at the moment of impact. They certainly put our fishing into perspective!
Good to see you got some fuel, I had to run to tescos so I could go fishing. Lol. Another great video mate. I love it when nature goes on around us, the fish are a plus.
I knew I had enough fuel to get there, just not back home. It was craziness! I know what you mean, seeing all that going on around is just brilliant and one of the reasons I don't fish piers or urban areas, if can help it
Oh well I've eventually got round to watching this one 🤦♂️ Another belter as always.Amazing the things you picked up on your GoPro, and a couple of cracking cod 🎣🐟
Glad you got round to watching it. I keep the gopro recording constantly, end up with a load of footage but sometimes capture some gems
You certainly did this time ! The best one I've seen was a peregrine falcon swoop right up to one 💪🐟
That would be awesome to see.
Slippy Limpets I'll see if I can find it for you 🤞💪
Gannets are pretty amazing. Nov. 8th, 2014 in Rockaway, MILES of them diving about a mile offshore, with a massive morning bluefish blitz right on the open beach. The end was not visible in either direction. Smaller bait was outside the bar, and adult bunker were beaching themselves. Would something like Korkers make your fishing any easier? I dry jetty jumped for years with only regulars shoes or sneakers, but some jetties are death traps without metal spikes on your soles. The natural rocks out East are not the algae covered messes here. I put pan head screws into the bottoms of Timberlands and did Montauk no sweat. It looks like that rock is so much more porous so as to be grippier. Also, a strap system to put the rods on your person and leave hands free is potentially useful for the hard spots to get to. Great to see the light tackle fun.
They are fantastic birds, sadly on the decline over here in the UK. The rock there has a good bit of friction and my shoes actually have climbing shoe rubber soles, so loads of grip. I've tried some studs ( I have them in my wading shoes) but find they can slip without any warning on the dry rock whereas the rubber tends to stick well. It's different story in the rain, though, and they definitely come in handy. Thanks for the tip and watching. Tight Lines👍🎣
another great vid Nath, dreading the weather putting an end to the lure fishing this year :(
On the plus side it means we can get the big bait gear out! Saying that, the pollack are available to shore angling as long as the water is clear and deep enough. I've fished every month of the year with lures and had pollack and my biggest in February. March is the worst month as they move off shore to breed (I think?). Glad you liked the vid!!
Nice day out!,i know goats that would not go down that cliff 😂👍🏼 look forward to next vid cheers
😂 cheers Trevor, glad you liked it
Real nice man. Wherever you are fishing is absolutely beautiful. On those heavy rock situations, I like to slide my shad/minnow bodies on a football jig head. Comes through those rocks better.
Cheers buddy I'll give them a go! BTW, I was fishing in South East Scotland.👍🎣
At 16:51, it's not a seal... its a Great White Shark swimming past, 🤣🤣🤣. 22:53 Gannets hitting the water, are always amazing, I think that seal got a big shock. Colour of the Cod, are also amazing. Another excellent vidio, brilliant drone footage, stay safe.
Haha yeah I see what you mean about that seal, it was massive!! Glad you liked the vid and tight line👍🎣
Not a bad session in all those codling were nice
Yeah after the slow start it ended up being a canny afternoon
Great vid as always dude, nice chunky fish! Not sure if it's any use, but for superglue on the Z-manz, I use the Loctite bottles with the plastic edges you squeeze together: really easy to apply small amounts without getting glue on the knot and the cap is designed to twist in, so it's easy to unstick and doesn't leak.
Thanks for the tip!! I'm off to the shops 🙌
Love the drone footage. Really shows what a tricky climb that is. Enough to put most off and keep it exclusive.
Shame ive never done too well there. Lost a shit ton of metal though
Aye, it's tough ground to chuck a metal into, even with single hooks on them. I tried on this trip and had no joy. Weedless soft plastics all the way!
@@SlippyLimpets I may give it a whirl at the weekend.
Awesome footage and the fish simply amazing. Love the way you take the time to talk and no baffle with too much info. What area was you fishing ?
Thanks Doug, glad you liked it. I was fishing in south east Scotland, just over the border from Berwick
great looking pollack and wrasse marks there 👍
Good session and vid mate! Just wondered what net that was? Looks like the sort of thing I've been looking for
No worries, it's a SPRO Freestyle Xtender 3.8m handle with an HTO folding net head. Don't know how I've managed for so long without something like it. Glad you liked the vid👍🎣
Much noticeable improvements in editing the videos well done ,,,of course apart from enjoying the fishing and non stop action 👌👍
Thanks for the kind comment! I've been trying really hard to improve the editing and footage so really glad you noticed a difference!!
Hi, have you looked in to using a Bombada float. They go up to 5 oz . I use the slow sinking ones so that you can fish your plastic lures what ever weight to suit your sink rate. Enjoyed your show, although I was out of puff climbing back up the cliff.
Hi Michael, I've used them a couple of times over the years but mainly for species, like bass, that are higher up in the water column than cod and pollack. Not tried them on the type of ground in this video but could be worth a shot. Glad you liked the video!
Hi mate - I’m a fellow North Eastern lad ( Roker; S’unland’ but don’t hold it against me?) but I’m living up in Scotia now; have been since 2001. I really want to say well done on your vidz - you’re a talented dude! - and ‘by, you’re a brave lad’ getting to those spots! Ex rock climber skills? Looks to be…
I bought a few spinning rods / combos on the strength of your vids a few weeks back as the last few weeks I’ve been itchin’ta get back to some form of fishing after my boyhood days on the pier at Roker or beach casting at Whitburn sands for flatties - it’s been 32 years since ive broken ‘an elbow in anger with a rod, and i thank you for inspiring me to get out again.
So - I took a drive from Edinburgh (home now) to St Abbs on Sunday with the missus and we tried a ‘mark’ that wasn’t too sketchy to get too. In a glorious 90 minutes we had no fish, lost two metal lures, but had a blast! Saw a gannet dive too!
Can I ask a few questions from a daft sounding beginner?
I’m using a 2.1m light spinning rod - 8g to 25g with 12lb mono on it.
I’ve got soft plastic eel lures and metal wedge lures ( and an ancient Toby krill) to try next Friday afternoon.
- [ ] Do I need a leader?
- [ ] Do I need a swivel? Only on a spinner, that may twist the main line? What about a soft plastic ( Sand eel , weedless type lure) ?
- [ ] Can I just go lure straight to line?
- [ ] If I need a leader; I’ve read o should use a fluorocarbon line - is it meant to be more lbs strength than the main line or less?
- [ ] Any tips for an auld ex mackie spinner? I’m trying to get my two teenage girls into this lark so I can do it more as a family gig. Hehehhh.
Sorry for the eejut approach - I’ve tried looking it all up ( I’m an English teacher up here at Dunbar, so should know better) but I got Alice’ed out my head down the rabbit hole, marra!
Keep at it you lejjj - ‘tight lines’ I hear is the salutation!
Gary W
Ps - get those low profiles off the VRs, and winter tyres on - it’ll then get up a track that would stiffen in fright a three legged donkey! ;-)
Wow, thanks for taking the time to write your comment!! If I was you I'd ditch the mono and buy some good 20lb braid, and tie 20lb+ flouro leader on to that with an FG knot. If you get good quality braid the spinner won't really twist your line too much and negate the need for a swivel. The beauty of braid is that it doesn't stretch and dramatically increases bite detection, so will improve your hook up rate. Especially since cod and pollack like to hit a lure while it's sinking through the water column.
That brings me on to the technique, most of our fish are near/on the seabed so let your lure sink until you feel the thud of it hitting the deck (again easier to tell with braid) and then start a lift and draw -a couple of lifts with the rod, followed by a couple of winds of the reel handle and then let it sink- until it gets close to your feet. You will get snagged but that means you're fishing in the right spots. Lure wise grab yourself a load of 28g Razor Claw Silver Minnows, quite literally the best lure for the price and perfect weight for the waters around St abbs etc.
Hope this helps and thanks for the tip on the tyres. Alas, old Flavia is in the scrapyard in the sky now, she served me well for 10 years and 200k miles. I miss her 😢 I'm now driving a Seat estate 🥱
Thank you so much for the response and guidance, Slippy! Brilliant! I had bought braid after a trip to a fishing shop and Seaguar fleuro too. I’ve changed the mono on the soool ( haven’t done THAT for 35 years!) and I’m ready to hit St Abbs and Eyemouth today - it’s the school hols and I’m feeling lucky! Sincere thanks for the tips mate- you’re a gent! Tight lines!
G
No worries and hope you get amongst the fish today!
Watch out for the swells too, they're at the upper end of what I'd fish in.
It was a brilliant day! Swells were big but I stayed safe and dry. Worst bit was that numpty in the motor boat coming up right close with the tourists and creating a massive wake - and scaring the fish away. Eejuts!
You're a wise lad - your tips worked a treat! I could feel the bottom, the kelp and the fish. I caught 11! Yes ; ELEVEN! 7 coalies, 3 pollock and a mackerel! A mackie in late October - weird no? Cheers so much for the tips mate - you and fishing have got a fan for life and I’m now hooked. Pun intended!
😂😂😂 bro class video a see u have found our handy work lol great spot down there keep left of the rock and u will find another rock tgat splits off just round the back of that rock is a fantastic spot that u can fish very deep alot of cod seem to sit in that channel am 14 stone 5 and the rope held me when a was climbing up and down so trust the anchor points lol. Good luck
They did seem pretty solid, just prefer to not to carry a rope 😂 Seen a pic of that nice cod you got so I'll keep an eye out for that spot your talking about
Not that you need it, but ive just subbed! Great stuff, looks like a perilous journey up and down to that mark! I wouldn't be doing that on my own!
Need all the subs I can get to keep the algorithm happy! Thanks for the sub, much appreciated 🙏 👍
@@SlippyLimpets 🤣🤣 I'll never understand why we need to give ourselves an extra boss in life! Not quite sure what I need the subs for? (soul trader57) Oh yea! That's it, get to 100 🤣 keep feeding that algorithm 🤣🤣
Me neither but seems to be a bit of a trap I've fallen in to. You got an another sub👍🎣
@@SlippyLimpets it's 100 as of yesterday, managed a lovely meaty river pike on the fly last weekend, so after a bit of editing that's hopefully out tonight, and I've got footage of sea trout running my local small river, so that should push it all on a bit! Good luck, stay safe on those slippery rocks 👍🤣
@@davidprocter1585 it'll be 101 and one now. Looks like some lovely water you've got there. Might have to add Lancashire to my Must Visit list. Tight Lines👍🎣
Great session Nathan - always intrigues me seeing you get cod on lures from the shore!
It's a shame you don't have much in the way of clear water around your way, I'd you did I'm sure you'd get into them too!
@@SlippyLimpets true - the upside is that water like hot chocolate means fishing is just as good day or night and you get awesome fish a few yards out.
That is a bonus. I'd we have to turn nocturnal and fish in a storm to catch them with bait.
Nice session in the end. The rock formations was stunning. What drone do you use please? Amazing footage.🎣
I'm guessing I could have doubled the fish tally if I'd made those changes earlier in the session. Drone is a DJI Mavic Air 2. Not the cheapest but a great little drone
Brilliant video again. What was the lure and jig head you used at the end there? Thanks
I was using a 14g chebarushka (Spro bottom weight), 2/0 hook and a 3 inch Slider Shad. Hope this helps and glad you liked the vid!
Thanks for the video, amazing footage and editing, and fishing was a joy to watch. Do you use an external mic or the onboard mic on the gopro?
Glad you liked it. Just use the on board mic with a wind muffler on it, then a bit of tweaking during the edit. Just ordered a sound recorder and mic so should hopefully improve the audio a bit more
@@SlippyLimpets sounds amazing, deffo the editing then. I'm new to UA-cam world myself and been learning editing and sound editing recently. Got a Gopro 7 Black myself and just ordered the Mic Mod so I can use a wireless lavilier mic. I'm learning Davinci Resolve as my editing software and it is amazing and so much potential... wish I knew this 11 months ago. Keep the vids coming your one of the best quality fishing vids I've seen and the more interesting ones too. So thanks 😊
I thought about a wireless setup but means my gopro is no longer waterproof, sound recorder means I'll have to sync the audio but I use my phone a lot too, so works across multi cameras. Davinci is awesome. It's worth watching some non fishing UA-cam channels for editing inspiration, I've learnt a fair bit from channels like casey neistat. Hope this helps out
great vid cheers. What braid to leader knot do you use please?
Used to use a Double Uni but have used an FG for the past few years and won't go back. Super strong and means you can have a longer leader
👍👍🎣🎣
Hat off to you SL - you must have gonads made off steel to cope with those descents! Nice vid' - great stuff.
Ah, so that's what that metallic clanking sound is😂
@@SlippyLimpets
:-)
Any chance of a link for the landing net you use please SL? Cheers.
Another great video! Could I ask what backpack you're using please? I'm really struggling to find something decent with a secure rod carrier system.
It's a Sea to Summit Flow 35 but it doesn't actually have rod holders. I made some using a loop of 5mm bungee cord, a bead and a cord lock. Can pretty much attach them to any Rucksack, as long they have side pockets
@@SlippyLimpets Thanks! I think I've found something closer to my usual budget that has walking pole straps that ought to be convertible the way you've done it.
Those bags with walking pole or ice axe straps are ideal!! You can slide the rod with reel into the pole axe straps and clip in with the top loops!
Amazing,wonderful fishing!Where is this beautiful place?
It's the south Eastern Scottish boarders. A place called Eyemouth
i want to see you with the Locker..you guys we're great together..kinda for us older guys...to ******* funny together..it was great stuff..but take your own setup..drop it down..a real test....i did it with 2 pd ultra light set up in the other century..a real test...
There will be another collab at some point in the future. I did have my own gear, and used my own rod, but bottled it when it came to my reel and braid. Now I know what it's like, I'll definitely be using my own setup. Not sure I'll drop down to 2lb though, I like my food too much and would hate to miss dinner 😂
@@SlippyLimpets maybe bring the kayak and get dropped off in tuna infested water..but proper tackle..and some lunch in a bag..in case your being dragged awhile..
Don't think i have see a vid, when you haven't had your shit together bud lol!! Awesome stay safe!
Haha, thanks for that. I reckon I could have had double the fish If I'd started with a 2/0
Great video slower sinking made the difference well done
It did, they were nipping at the tail with the heavier weight so maybe the bigger hook helped out too🤔
@@SlippyLimpets I think your right keep the videos coming and the tips👍
That's why I love fishing, no matter what variable you change you just never know what the fish are thinking. Thanks Stu and will do. Tight lines 🎣👍
that looks like beautiful country but really hard to fish
It is a stunning area. There are easier marks to get to but the fishing isn't so good
Do you not get many wrasse around those Rocky marks?
Had a 4lb ballan the other day followed by a 3lb
Tight lines slippy 🎣
That's a fair sized ballan. They are knocking around up here but not in numbers, and for some reason I can't catch them. West or South coasts and I don't have a problem but for whatever reason I can hook them in the north sea?! Tight Lines👍🎣
Cracking session, wondering what foot wear u have thanks
Thanks Colin. I'm using a pair running shoes called the Scarpa Ribelle Run, I bought them for wading with but was impressed with the all round grip so decided to use them on the rocks. They're working well at the moment
Hi bud as a matter of interest what shoes do you wear as I fish most of these marks at st Abbs but always tricky in the wet I currently use Solomon which are terrible most vibrant soles are not great in wet
I wear Scarpa approach shoes, currently a pair of Crux, but the thing is the rock at ST Abbs is lethal when it's wet and the thing that can help out are metal studs in the sole. Even then, the rocks are still slippery when wet!
T-shirt arrived last week cheers. Happy with the sizings XXL was perfect for a fat bastard like me.
So you have someone filming for you whilst you fish bud. Always gets me... does he film himself walking down a cliff and then have to go back up and get the camera 🤣🤣🤛😘
Maybe my channel might be big enough for me to get someone to film me, but in the meantime, I have to do all of the filming my self. Tight lines👍🎣 and keep up the great vids! 🤛
Tackling some of these tricky to access, remote marks, other than a phone do you carry anything else if you do get into difficulty? where you get to shouting for help probably won’t help?
I'm old school and don't rely on a phone, so carry a floating VHF with me
Another great video thanks. Do you use legit fish minnow lures? The reason I ask is if losing a few they get pretty expensive! I started using hunt House minnows off alliexpress last season (not fished this season! )
But they are great lures and caught me loads of quality bass
They are the legit Fiiish lures, I tend not to use them a lot for Pollack and cod because they are so expensive, but I bought for this years Pembrokeshire Bass tournament (need the best you can get in a competition) so decided to use them here. Thankfully I arrived home with the same number I left with. Saying that, I've heard good things about the alie express version. Thinking I should probably buy a few to gain some confidence in them.
@@SlippyLimpets thanks for the reply. I was on the UK bass forum for a while and a significant number of the guys use them on there. Thanks again tight lines Jon
Do you try a sliding barrel lead onto your mainline then a swivel then about 4ft leader mono and put a jelly worm on a size 1 or 2 straight j , it's a method I use and I found if the fish aren't hitting a lure with a built in weight then this slightly more Tim consuming method seems to work especially get takes on the drop as the jelly flutters down a few feet behind the lead.
I used to use that all the time, think it's called a Carolina rig, but haven't used it for years. Not sure why though, it used to catch me plenty of fish
Alot of lures have the hook n weight built in I got some side winders that work brilliant got about 20g weight and size 1/0 hook so no need for additional weight, also I got a bargain 8 of them for a tenner online when they're £4.99 each it the local tackle shop.
There are, and they come in handy, I do like to be able to change the weight though, just in case the wind picks up.
💜💜💜💜👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you!! 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌👍🎣
I got ur combo . 8 to 20 gram pole. Do ya use savage gear at all?
I've had a couple of their rods when I first started out, but kept snapping them. Now, I'm partial to a Japanese rod
I was waiting to see if you went to all that expensive and trouble to release the fish. I am on the west coast of Canada and we have a different cod than you. I make lead weights with snap swivel on top that I clip onto the line when I get hung up, to slide down the line. It dislodges the hook, if not immediately, on a couple of bounces. Haven’t lost a rig in over a year. I have enough fish in the freezer to last the winter.
Your rig sounds intriguing, I've not heard of a rig that does that before. I do keep a fish every now and again but the bright orange cod live in that area permanently and if I take them, then eventually there won't be any left. Also, they don't taste as nice as the fresh run cod that come in from offshore during the winter. Tight lines 👍🎣
Those swells on those rocks if you got caught out you would be in trouble with no life jacket.
We don't normally get such big ground swells. A PFD is good but they do get in the way of climbing back out of the water.
Where is this ? Near Whitley bay?
No mate, it's up at Eyemouth
great vid so passionate about it great viewing. Have you stopped kayak fishing?
Glad you liked it. I haven't stopped but I've either gone bass fishing when the weather was good or the times I wanted to get the kayak out the weather has been poor. Hopefully get one more trip in before the winter arrives
Great videos. You are a great climber too. Can you wear an auto inflate life jacket so we can keep watching.
Thank you and glad you like the vids. I'll look into getting a PFD🎣👍
I’d love to fish your marks but I’m not agile enough at my age, you make it look easy skipping over the rocks. Are there no such thing as easy access marks where you fish?
There are definitely easier marks to fish but they don't seem to hold the same quality of fish. It seems like the easy to get to marks have been fished out. They're also normally covered in litter ☹
where are you mate?
Nathan you need more training holding your fish try a harder grep as allways great video😎
Love gannets when they strike the water like that, massive f%+ing birds 😂
They are massive!! I ran that footage frame by frame whilst editing and it's amazing to see them tuck their wings back at the moment they enter.
Where abouts u fishing bro
Hi mate, Are you fishing in England? Greetings from Casablanca Morocco
Almost, just over the boarder in South East Scotland
@@SlippyLimpets Thanks mate.
No worries!
just greeat have you tread drome fishing joe east coast
I've been tempted, but then have seen too many people losing them and can't afford another
did i miss the bit about safety?
I had a radio in pocket if that's what you mean?
@@SlippyLimpets cant see the point of a radio if you're not conscious, i was thinking more about a hard hat for the rock climbing and a life vest maybe or do i watch to much saving lives at sea
You're actually the first person who has had an issues with saftey that has commented about the dangers of the approach, normally its all about the life vest, so thank you. Just to add some context, my thoughts on the topic are- assuming I'm wearimg a life vest, hit my head and fall in- how is anyone going to rescue me when I regain consciousness if I can't contact them since a mobile is useless when you have wet fingers, which is where tha radio comes in handy. Also, I tend to fish straight into deep water so the chance of hitting my head is minimal and have you ever tried climbing out of the sea with a massive inflatable vest around your neck? It's almost impossible to get your arms up past your shoulders and therefore will need rescuing, unless I take the vest off in the water. Not wise. The media has a powerful voice and we hear much about the few that have tragic accidents, but there a few million more of us that have a great time fishing without living in fear of a 'What if' scenario. Sorry for the rant and hope you understand my choices. I don't suggest this is always the right way to go for everyone and I really appreciate your concern but having grown up on the coast, surfed for 20 years, and climbed for longer, I'm well in my comfort zone here and know what to do if the shit hits the fan.
@@SlippyLimpets well thanks for that long reply, so youre a surfer and a climber, i seem to remember the worlds best surfer drowned one day and we all know of climbers that have died on what has been a simple climb for them, even if not using the safety items you could have mentioned that first timers should think of that, anyone can slip coming down the cliff or on the wet rocks, there must be some light weight head gear that you could maybe recommend and as for the life vest im not talking of ones from 60 years ago im talking of the small ones they use now, i think some has a gps location button on them, and im not talking about any media, i just wonder what the RLNI would advise , and well in your comfort zone, you soon moved when you had a litlle bit of extra swell, dont you know ships out at sea can add a bit of extra lump, and of course most of those rescued were in their comfort zone to start with
For a lot of people it is about their own choices and free will imho. Sometimes life is about risking everything for a dream no one can see but you.
What was the rod mate? Can’t understand your accent 😂
Haha, fair enough. It's called a Lamya their, by Slash. 8'6" 4-28g
One slip hes broken his neck ....

NO Need to have a word with yourself. look good to me..
Thanks Keith. I was missing a lot of good bites so needed to do something to improve hook ups
you must want to catch a fish bad
Exactly why I go fishing🤣
Im sorry, theres better and safer places to fish .....risking your life for what .....
The thing is, I don't know there are better places to fish unless I try them. Past experiences mean that I'm not taking as big a risk as it might look to some folk. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment
I sense a tragedy
