Great video Mick brings back memories of fishing Hastings and Stleonards beaches and old Hastings pier in my teens never did have much luck fishing the stad always did well fishing warrior square and other marks never caught a dog fish in all the years fishing there. Happy catching from Australia Nick
You fished worm mostly, I believe, which is why you weren’t immediately into the Doggies, they will eat virtually anything of course, but fish baits are best for them. Mackerel will get them on the beach quickly and continuously to the exclusion of all else at times, so I just stopped fishing Mackerel hoping to not catch Doggies, Sand eels are a better fish bait, I feel, they’ll catch Smooth hounds, and Rays , with flatfish falling to worms. Frozen black lug, are a good bait too. Catching some really nice Dover Sole on the South Wales coast during the summer months and Cod during winter, all such good eating. Fresh Peelers for the Bass! The prolific Dogfish numbers are spoiling the fishing though, as fishing trips, take some planning, and they aren’t cheap either, just to catch them damned Doggies!!! Is it really worth it? Thanks for the vid, that wind noise was a nuisance.
Yes - I agree about baits for dogfish: which is why I avoided using fish baits as much as possible, since I didn't want to catch them, unless there's nothing else present!
Shame about the fish that you lost Michael, both the flatties & the bigger one. Plenty of variety though & you were kept busy on both sessions. Nice to see the smoothound pups. Thanks for the content as always 🐟
Great watch Michael, was gutted for you on that decent bite ,it definitely had plentiful species , what a cracking mark , appreciate your efforts Paul 👍🏼
Good question. I usually use small baits, so often split my ragworm in two. I don't find it makes much difference, but I prefer to use the tail end for soles - need to get my first one of the year soon!

Thanks Nick - Warrior Square is on my to do list, which is pretty long at the moment!

Thanks - at least you get plenty of bites there 👍
Great video. I watch Saltwater Angler and he fishes lures off of the rocks at Warrior Square for Bass.
That's interesting to know - that mark is on my to do list.
@@rodsangleuk6283 Thanks mate. I live down here and he really knows his stuff on lure fishing for bass. Very exciting too.
Sorry you lost those fish due to operating the camera but it is appreciated, keep bringing those entertaining videos, thank you.
Thanks Loz - it happens (quite a bit!).
Was fishing Rock an Ore 5.30 Sunday morning. Zero fish and couldn't believe the tide pull from East to West !
That's a shame Simon, hope you catch next time. Yes the tidal pull has been pretty severe in a number of Sussex and Kent venues recently.
good spot , ive swam between the 2 concrete points 100 yards offshore , but its where my sea fishing began at rock a nore
aged 10 , now 54 rod
Nice one
Strange you didn't get any spider crabs.
Arrived a few weeks later - had to abandon a session at St.Leonards due to spider crabs!
Hi Rod? When you use ragworm what part would you say is the best.Head middle or tail.
Good question. I usually use small baits, so often split my ragworm in two. I don't find it makes much difference, but I prefer to use the tail end for soles - need to get my first one of the year soon!
@rodsangleuk6283 yeah I do much the same when sole fishing but most of the time I get schoolies and flounder witch is OK its better than blanking.
Unlucky there . Come back to Essex .
Haha - I will fish our local beaches sometime; but I'm on the move quite a bit recently, so am fishing further afield.
