    Sometimes I think we forget how a bit of simple fishing off a dockside can actually be a bit of a giggle and just as enjoyable as reeling in a stunning halibut!! So nice to see it glide back off to the deeps. lovely job buddy, appreciate your efforts 🎣👍🏼

      Hi Paul, and thank you so much! There's nothing like catching the bait, and then your target fish 😁👌 glad you liked it brother, see you on the beach 👍😁

      On Spain's eastern coast, the Mediterranean, that's almost impossible to do. You have no idea how good your fishing is in Norway, I went there once and in 10 minutes on a rod that was 50 years old and a reel that hadn't had a line change in over a decade I caught two huge cods only 30m off the shore, that was literally my best fishing experience ever and I've fished for many years in Spain where we have tuna fish and mahi mahi - we just don't have a lot. If I lived in Norway I would eat fish 6 days a week, and catch it all myself.

      Hi bud. Yes I do know how good the fishing is in Norway. A fish in the Mediterranean and lots of other places around Europe and the world. Norway is a cold version of Florida! Yes! Times are hard around the mediterranean right now, but still it is possible to catch some fantastic fish. Thanks Brother, see you on the beach 👍😁👌

    “You could entertain yourself like this as a kid”. That’s exactly what my brother and I did. We each got a set of green fiberglass fishing rods for Christmas when I was about 7 years old and boy did we fish! Our special place was a low bridge. We fished enough miniature Coleys to fill a plastic shopping bag at a minimum, sometimes more. When we got home, mom used to say “Wow, you did good. I’ll clean them up later”. Getting older I started to think about this. I could not remember eating a lot of Coleys, and after bedtime my brother and I heard a lot of seagulls quarreling nearby. Hmmmm…. I wonder where the fish went? But at least she didn’t take away the joy and excitement we got from fishing 🎣 ❤ Keep on fishing and making these fantastic videos brother 👍

      Good times Bjorg😁👌 Oh, to be a boy again. I had a similar experience once. It was my first fish, a mackerel of course. Being too young to understand death and life, I held him close to my body all day as my new pet. Returned home from a long days fishing. lay pet beside me on my bed, I went to sleep. In the morning, I asked about my new pet. And my mother told me it has swam away. Now shut up and eat your breakfast, be too young to understand life and death, I ate my breakfast, mackerel 🤣👌 Thanks Brother, see you on the beach 👍😁👌

    I live in Maine, we also catch harbor pollock, and use them for bait. Unfortunately, we have to take them to use a boat to then catch most other species of fish. Norway has placed its culture and its people before industry. You’ve done a perfect job managing your fishery.

    • @Billyfishing_watch
      @Billyfishing_watch  5 місяців тому +7

      Hi Scott. The Norwegians do take good care of their fisheries, but that's not the real reason why the fishing is so good. It is all down to the continental shelf and plankton density - and Norways proximity to it. Either way, the fishing is amazing. Thanks brother 😁👌

    High quality content, and well described. As a norwegian heavily invested into halibut fishing, its cool to see different ways of catching this beautiful fish. I usually go around by boat, but always wanted to try bait-fishing from shore. If you ever get the chance to travel to Frøya in Sør-Trøndelag, this area has a great halibut population worth checking out.

    Brilliant video Billy, I've always been very sensitive to how fish are treated wether they are taken or released, Your videos are a statement to other you-tubers on how fish should be treated, I have always killed fish immediately if I was taken them, however I used to knock them on the head, since I began to watch your videos you have shown me a much better and humane way of dispatching fish via the spiking method which I use every time I keep a fish. I have seen videos where fish are allowed to slowly die while the moron that caught it grins stupidly into the camera. Thanks for the great videos Billy and thank you for helping me become a more ethical angler. Stay safe out there fella. Regards Steve

I love fishing metal lipped swimmers for surface strikes, nothing like seeing a big bass smash through the surface to take a piece of painted wood, LOL 😝 . I can’t believe how close to shore you’re able to fish for halibut and cod. The old timers who fished back in the 50’s and 60’s out at Montauk, NY told stories of catching cod and pollack off the beach in December and January with lures. If we want cod now it’s strictly boat fishing waaay offshore and honestly the fishery for the most part has collapsed 😢. Again thanks for the videos, keep it going!

    • @Billyfishing_watch
      @Billyfishing_watch  5 місяців тому +1

      Hi John. I'm really glad you like the video and your comment is much appreciated. As you can probably tell the rig is a very simple affair. The design is the same as a bog standard paternoster rig, where the hook snood is longer than the rig body. Then swap them around, the rig body becomes the hook snood and vice versa. Then the hook hangs on the bait clip, picking up the rig body and leaving plenty of slack for the bait. That's it, simple and effective. Thanks brother, see you on the beach 😁👌

      Yes! Nice and smooth, is always best. And if you cast with a big bait, use 7-8oz sinker. it will slow your cast, but the inertia is what is needed to send the bait!

    Billy, you are a gentleman and a fine fisher-man scholar. I had your channel recommended to me and it’s strange how the world works. But I was immediately Hooked to your Channel. I watched six more videos and went ahead and subscribed and thumbs up all! I don’t have time unfortunately to fish like I used to. But if I could take you to Northern Maine around the Lakes of North Twin Dam in Norcross, Maine. You would find 5 Lakes that span 28 or so miles & one of them 100 foot or more Deep. And winter the Ice Fishin’ some Northern Pickerel and White Perch biggest you have ever seen. Miss my childhood lol Peace be with you. Be looking forward to you pulling in some more Gladiators!

    Ya gotta love when I plan comes together. And yes...I've been laughed at more fish than I've been able to laugh at. This is the sixth year I haven't been able to chase tuna this fall/winter. But it's looking like all my surgeries are done & finished. I promised the Baker Lady one "large" fish. I'm thinking a Bluefin at-around 75 inches should do the trick. (catch & release) So next year it is. Thanx for posting Bud. It was a good watch.

    Hi there Billy. A merry Christmas to you.
    I've just stumbled across your channel and it's fantastic.
    When I was younger I'd go fishing every August with my uncle in Galway for mackerel. I think that's where I caught the fishing bug. I did some pike and carp fishing when back home in the UK.
    For a little while I lived in Thailand and got to caught big and powerful fish out there. I was spoiled for the fish I could catch. A few years later I did some shark fishing in Florida a couple of times. Catching shark up to 11 feet off the beach. On one trip I think my bait was picked up by a hammerhead. The reel started spinning like it was attached to a bus. Even with the full 40lbs of drag it didn't slow down. Unfortunately the 150lb line broke.
    It's great to see someone like yourself fishing for big fish in a place like Norway. Some of the powerful reels I hot for Thai fish and sharks are popular with the Halibut anglers. Its something I'd like to try some day but I'm not a fan of cold weather. I'd rather fish somewhere hot. I now have my daughter Jessica and I hope to show her some of the Thai and Florida fishing in the future.
    Anyway, looking forward to seeing more of your content. Best of luck to you and your channel. See you on the beach!
