Thanks for the kind comments and for taking the time to post them, glad you enjoyed the video - I must admit I did have fun filming it! Certainly put a different spin on catching 'pin' whiting! :-) Tight lines, cheers Chris.
Definitely a lot more interesting than using a big thick beach caster to catch tiny flat fish. If you didn't have all the snags and tide to contend with than a standard carp rod loaded with 12 lbs line would be quite adequate for most forms of shore fishing. After all, carp anglers catch much larger fish than sea anglers most of the time and their gear is a quarter of the weight
Thanks for the kind comments Penn and for taking the time to post them, glad you enjoyed the video. You're 100% correct with what you say!!! I'm definitely going to try a few different things with lighter tackle!
Cheers Steve, I thoroughly enjoyed the session too - made catching small Whiting alot more fun and interesting! :-D Hope your fishing is going well and that you manage a few fish on your carp rods. :-) Tight lines, cheers Chris.
I went sea fishing in corsica with my 4.5m whip. It was a right lark, catching these big scad and showing the locals how it should be done. Ended up feeding half the village!
Love this video , i had excactly the same mindset with the dogfish on my local beach a couple of years ago , they was in plague proportions and i was reguarly taking 50 plus in a few hours but pn a standard set up it was pretty boring , luckily my beach is snag free and in the summer on a short tide i managed to get as low as 5lb bs and a 1oz weight on a freshwater rod and every doggie then put up a real scrap to be landed
That's interesting Rick! It's definitely something I'm going to try again. I'm thinking I might try it again for some flatfish and use a rolling lead! :-)
I Liked the Carp lake to Roach lake analogy for using lighter rods and tackle. I don't mind catching whiting, for me its better than a blank fishing trip. I also like catching codling on heavier gear, but you can only catch what is in front of you on any particular tide, and if its only small stuff, then sometimes a lighter balance of tackle will help with bite detection and more fish hooked.
Use a couple of old Shimano 2.75tc carp rods as standard now. Needed replacing so sprayed up the rings to help keep that salt out, they are perfect for the peir or beach on milder days, find with 10lb braid a 2-3oz grip holds bottom in some pretty rough days, better than leaving them to gather dust in the shed. Can give em a good whack out too.
Excellent vid as usual. Great seeing light rods. I've only got 2-4 oz bass rods but I'm only fishing Essex estuary so it's not to rough all year round. Plus we've had some decent weather this year. Whiting are always welcome for me. As I'm an all rounder I do coarse fishing as well I'm looking forward to more vids from the best fishing FTWE on youtube
Thanks for the kind comments Barry and for taking the time to post them! Glad you enjoyed the video. Fishing light like that has definitely got me thinking... am already planning my next session! Haha. Hope your fishing is going well, tight lines, cheers Chris.
Nice vid fella I only had one rod when I was young in the 70's A feeder for the review Seven Chub. And used this set up when on beach too ? Had some good size fish too all GOOD FUN.
For beach fishing, it is the weather, tide ,sea state and the need to often cast far that limit scaling down(depends what your after though) Carp rods are perfect for estuarys until they start running fast in big tides, I never need above 3oz of lead in my local (loughor) Greats vids, really enjoying them tbh, these vids have inspired me to get out more. cheers. PS Chris Collins seems like a lovely chap and very knowledgeable.
Thanks for the kind comments Lee, glad your enjoying the video's. You're 100% right... most of the time (especially in the winter) it's just not possible to use light rods, reels and line. I'd love to do it more and actually think Whiting would be lots more fun on 10lb line, 1oz leads and light rods! Thanks again and hopefully we'll have another sea video out soon. Be lucky, cheers Chris.
Great video .I don't have sea fishing tackle as only get to sea fish when on holiday for 1 or 2 days a year. But have lots of fresh water rods so this video is a good idea of what to take .Thanks 👍
Thanks for the kind comments mate and for taking the time to post them, glad you enjoyed the video. It's definitely something that I'll be doing again!!! Rolling lead and light rod for flatfish after Xmas I reckon! :-) Cheers Chris.
what a great video, very interesting indeed as i dont have sea fishing tackle but i do have carp rods with 3lb test i will give this a go down at Deal, Kent in June 2019.
From The Waters Edge TV. Great vid I used to use my feeder rod on the beach until it snapped then I brought a telescopic beach rod with quiver tips and it's great fun for float fishing the shore or spinning for mackerel had a lot of successful days on the beach in mundesley north Norfolk and saves carrying the rest of my kit about
Good to see you back lads, who cares if you don't even catch with weather conditions like that, still good little experiment and mission complete, you should try all four rods at the same time next time :)
Cheers Scott, glad you enjoyed it. Haha... I know, it would have been fun! Unfortunately there's hardly been any Codling caught on our coastline this year.
Hiya. I've got an 8ft rod that best casts an ounce. The beaches around me are super shallow surf beaches. I tried ledgering before and the lead just got tossed up onto the sand and I couldn't tell a bite from the tide or waves. Do you have any tips?
Very mild winter is what preventing the fish from venturing inwards. No rough seas, and lack of food getting smashed up and getting more food from further out. That could be the reason. Well I'm not gone this year too smooth the water and warm and getting nothing apart from a crab.
Hi Sie, yeah I certainly think that has something to do with it! I think we're meant to have a storm coming in at the moment, so fingers crossed after thats passed and into the new year we might see a few turn up! :-)
Great Video :) I have caught a lot of whiting this year might be my personal best. In my fishing competitions 99% of the fish weighed in are whiting and maybe a dab here and there. shame the cod situation is like it is but high hopes for next year!
Have you ever used a bass rod before the one I'm thinking off getting the daiwa sandstorm bass its rated up to 84g I've heard people use them for light bait work my only worries is what lead to use as I domt really wanna push the rod to the limet and I'm not 100 percent sure what is the ideal and lightest lead that can be used for sea fishing at maybe a shorter range May say stupide but what rig setups are bass rods actually designed for I know they can be used for abit off spinning what is kinda why I'm buying it but would be nice to have that versatility if I wanted to do bait work and maybe have that better bite detection
You make it look so easy, I’ve just started, been out three times and blanked each time, but I have taken a lot of advice from your great videos so am hoping my luck will change soon.
Thanks for the kind comments Patrick and for taking the time to post them, glad you enjoyed it! Me too, it's got me thinking of all the different things I can try now... watch this space! Haha. Tight lines, cheers Chris.
Yes that's an interesting way to catch miniscule whiting but catching those is not my idea of beach fishing! I love catching mackerel, pollack, bass or even gurnard on light gear in the Summer. Beach fishing in the Winter is a different 'kettle of fish'. My summer and Winter gear are two totally different sets of tackle! I gave up beach fishing early 2000s for the lack of rod benders ! Luckily the dogfish, rays and conger have moved in since and they can definitely BEND A ROD!😆😆😆
Thanks Shaun, glad you enjoyed it! We'll see what we can do, I've not fished that area for years now, but Dad used to take me that way when I was young.
From The Waters Edge TV it's a great bit of the coast and a nice depth of water not far out. it throws out some good surprises now and again. well worth a go mate
Hi Chris, another great video. A quick question if you don't mind, whats your general set up when fishing for codling, smooth hound, bass etc. I know you said you tend to use the pulley rig a lot, but what about line and shock leader? Is mono or braid better for a mainline? Cheers Drew.
Hi Drew, thanks for the kind comments mate, glad you enjoyed it. I like to use a decent 15lb mono and then a 50lb shock leader, I might step it up to 18lb and then 60lb depending on where I'm fishing. Hope that helps. Tight lines, cheers Chris.
Hi mate, there'd be a good chance of some Smoothound if the conditions were right, using Peeler crab. I'm sure there'd be a chance of some Flounder and Bass too.
Thanks for the kind comments mate, glad you enjoyed the video. Haha... I did indeed, it made it so much more fun! I'm defo going to try it again on the next session (weather permitting!) Flatfish and a rolling lead I reckon. :-) Hope your fishing is going well. Cheers Chris.
Thanks mate, glad you enjoyed it. You bait it the same way you would do a single hook, just you'd have to do it 2/3 times depending on how many hooks you're using. :-)
It depends what you are using as bait and how big it is. In general on a 2-3 hook flapper you'd use smaller baits, so single worms of little strips of fish and squid... you could use elastic to secure them but probably wouldn't need too.
I use to live in uk....now in oz...use to use overhead 14 foot rods for catching Nothing big like the video could only tell if fish was on By more weight .... now use 8 foot rods 4kg rating with little 2000 size reel fixed spool 6 pound braid and i catch bigger fish on this than i ever did in the uk and when i have a fish on rod bends right over and can see the fish fighting ......Uk is one of few country's that still think need overhead multipliers and 14 foot rods to catch fish from a beach. Not sure why . But more people should try to use lighter gear makes fishing more fun and you can actually feel the fish fight .
Hi Martin, in general we often need to use such heavy gear for a few reasons, mainly the weather, sea state and tide. In a strong wind, rough sea and big tide you need at least 5oz's of lead to keep your bait in position. (Especially in the winter.) In the summer if the sea is calm and if the tide isn't too fierce you can definitely get away with a lot lighter tackle.
Nice, vid, been a little while! I have had my fishing channel running for a few months now, the cod season has killed us fish wise, we are die hard cod anglers this time of year and we have really struggled. Im going to have a change of tactic for the next video. I would appreciate if you could have a look! We are going to be big!! keep them coming! Tight Lines!! Fishing Brothers.
Hello mate! Thanks for the kind comments and for taking the time to post them, glad you enjoyed it. :-) I know... the Cod fishing has been so poor here in Norfolk.. they're virtually been non-existant, even on some of the boats! No worries at all, I'll pop over and have a look - Perhaps we could do a collaboration video one day! :-) Tight lines, cheers Chris.
Yeh its such a shame on the cod front, we was really looking forward to the cod videos helping grow our channel. The last two years have been fantastic on the welsh side of the upper channel, but its been pretty much none existent this winter. Fingers crossed for a good spring run. It does seem to have picked up on the boats and a few more seem to be coming in from the shore this week, so thats a good sign! A collaboration would be fantastic, I'm sure it would help my channel no end. Norfolk is a hefty 4 hour journey from south wales. We don't mind the travelling though, its all in the name of good fishing! Tight lines!! Fishing Brothers.
Thanks for the kind comments Tom and for taking the time to post them, it's nice to hear from you! :-) Glad you enjoyed the video! Tight lines, cheers Chris.
great vid again Chris, I think this is the way most tackle dealers are going with the new lighter and thinner rods, might have a go with my flattie rod next time out, I would have loved to see you get a 20lb cod on the feeder rod 😵
Thanks for the kind comments mate and for taking the time to post them! :-) Haha.. it would have been one hell of a scrap! Yeah I think lighter tackle could be the way to go, especially on calm days when the Cod aren't there... It's got me thinking anyway!
I’m still here Nathan! Just been filming freshwater videos with Steve. We will be doing some more beach fishing videos though - I’m also working on a video I made when I went to Norway in July. 😉🎣
I was fishing off kessingland beach around the same time as you. I pulled in around 25 whiting and a dogfish. I started to think I was doing something wrong, because all I could catch was whiting. Lol.
brilliant fun! I use a 6ft spinning Rod and drop shot a size 8 trout hook small cube of mackerel half ounce weight at the bottom and bounce it from a harbour wall about 2 winds up off the bottom i catch everytime! pin whiting pouting rockling kills time while the big rods r out and stops you blanking 😂
Hi Lance, I'm a little bit out of touch with the latest rods! I've got some Greys GRX-s and I've had them years! If I was going to buy something I'd look at something from Greys, Daiwa or Sonik probably - am sure they all make some nice models.
If you're going tomorrow Ethan, watch out for the weather, I think it's going to be a windy one. I think there's plenty of small Whiting and Dabs being caught.
hi thought I'd do a little report me and my grandfather fished 2 down 1 up with flapper rigs and blowlug on the end of the pier with 2 rods each caught 10 pin y tings 3 dab and one bass believe it or not
Cheers Sean, glad you enjoyed it! We do try and make a nice mixture of video's, it's just such a shame that the sea fishing has been so pants this year!
Kin hell, remembered why I stopped sea fishing, its shite! 3oz leads and 20lb line on a broom handle 2/0 hook to catch 9oz fucking whiting lol! To get "sport" from the fish lol! I had lighter gear for my 42lb carp! Give it up lads :-) ps this guy is top, good vid, but seriously go do some proper fishing, uk shore angling these days is painful, even painful to watch! Day ticket! A tenner! Go find some pike ffs.
Haha! I understand you're frustration... sometimes! When it all goes right though (normally more often in the spring/summer now) and you manage a few Smoothound, Bass and Thornbacks you can't beat it! It such a shame this winter has been so poor for Codling!
From The Waters Edge TV yeah your right sport can. E had, but we didn't even get a hound run down my way this year (West Sussex) good few undulates which is weird as they only seem to of appeared these last couple of years, feel a bit bad catching them, they having such a hard time as it is. Might go whiting bashing with some freshwater kit, see how it goes :-) work alright as pike dead baits as well :-P
Jake Palmer damn you! (Slams fist on table) that's just ruined my day) ps just got back from Thailand, 150lb wild Mekong cat, 120lb Siamese carp!! God fresh water fishing is crap 😂 how's the whiting a rockling battling going ?
Thanks for a great video.
The smile on your face with the last fish says it all.
Thanks for the kind comments and for taking the time to post them, glad you enjoyed the video - I must admit I did have fun filming it! Certainly put a different spin on catching 'pin' whiting! :-) Tight lines, cheers Chris.

Cheers Steve, I thoroughly enjoyed the session too - made catching small Whiting alot more fun and interesting! :-D Hope your fishing is going well and that you manage a few fish on your carp rods. :-) Tight lines, cheers Chris.

In the Netherlands we fish a lot with quiver tip rods on the beach. A lot of anglers fish with even lighter rods! It is a lot of fun!
That's interesting Rick! It's definitely something I'm going to try again. I'm thinking I might try it again for some flatfish and use a rolling lead! :-)
Nice one Rick, nice video. :-)

Nicely put together vid again, if that's the only fish around why not have some sporting fun.
Thank you for your guys upload.
Thanks Richard, glad you enjoyed it! Tight lines, cheers Chris.
I watched the shore caught vid and took your tips , thank you landed a pb codling on my first catch ! awsome work.
Ahhh brilliant Calvin, thats great to hear! :-)
Nice vid fella

Smashing video really enjoyed it. Keep them coming all the best.
Thanks for the kind comments Mike and for taking the time to post them, glad you enjoyed it. :-)
Loved it, thanks. I use a carp rod fairly often when I beach fish. It's given me an idea to try other lighter rods too.
Thanks for the kind comments Patrick and for taking the time to post them, glad you enjoyed it! Me too, it's got me thinking of all the different things I can try now... watch this space! Haha. Tight lines, cheers Chris.

Luckily the dogfish, rays and conger have moved in since and they can definitely BEND A ROD!😆😆😆
Our winter fishing can be very hard work on the Norfolk coast! Our spring and summer fishing is better though, Smoothound and Bass. 😊🎣
Do u ever float fish fir sea fishing I've seen a few doing it how would floats hold up in sea
No we don't Andrew, unfortunately on our coastline there's very, very few places where it would work.
@@FromTheWatersEdgeTV u never thought about trying it I'm thinking to give it a go one day I have seen people do it before
great vid chap. miss Norfolk since I've moved to Oxfordshire. can you do a vid on Yarmouth north beach for bass and hounds?
Thanks Shaun, glad you enjoyed it! We'll see what we can do, I've not fished that area for years now, but Dad used to take me that way when I was young.
From The Waters Edge TV it's a great bit of the coast and a nice depth of water not far out. it throws out some good surprises now and again. well worth a go mate
That was really interesting for a beginner thank you

hi mate i need advice im looking to go sea fishing off skegness beach in the summer do i have much chance of catching fish and what should i do
Hi mate, there'd be a good chance of some Smoothound if the conditions were right, using Peeler crab. I'm sure there'd be a chance of some Flounder and Bass too.
ok mate sound im looking to catch something i can eat ill be in ingoldmells at lake side lesiure so lookinng to go to the closest beach an fish
Great vid again lads .Come on chris admit it i bet u loved using the light tackle :P
Thanks for the kind comments mate, glad you enjoyed the video. Haha... I did indeed, it made it so much more fun! I'm defo going to try it again on the next session (weather permitting!) Flatfish and a rolling lead I reckon. :-) Hope your fishing is going well. Cheers Chris.
Hi guys i have being having some some with the flatfish and whiting using a rolling lead :P have a great xmas guys
as usual a brilliant video! good one pal, can you tell me how to bait up a 2/3 hook flapper please ?
Thanks mate, glad you enjoyed it. You bait it the same way you would do a single hook, just you'd have to do it 2/3 times depending on how many hooks you're using. :-)
thanks, would you have to use any bait elastic or anything like that?
It depends what you are using as bait and how big it is. In general on a 2-3 hook flapper you'd use smaller baits, so single worms of little strips of fish and squid... you could use elastic to secure them but probably wouldn't need too.
well ive got frozen black and baby squid, so could i use it on that
also with me from the north east we dont get much but what do squid attract ? is it flat, cod, whiting ?
I use to live in uk....now in oz...use to use overhead 14 foot rods for catching Nothing big like the video could only tell if fish was on By more weight .... now use 8 foot rods 4kg rating with little 2000 size reel fixed spool 6 pound braid and i catch bigger fish on this than i ever did in the uk and when i have a fish on rod bends right over and can see the fish fighting ......Uk is one of few country's that still think need overhead multipliers and 14 foot rods to catch fish from a beach. Not sure why . But more people should try to use lighter gear makes fishing more fun and you can actually feel the fish fight .
Hi Martin, in general we often need to use such heavy gear for a few reasons, mainly the weather, sea state and tide.

maybe you should try bucktails on light gear for fluke, check out "John Skinner Fishing" videos
Nice one mate, will take a little look! :-)
let me know what you think! and definitely make a video if you try it out! subbed
good video and not one "Now" . very enjoyable thanks
Haha, thanks mate! Glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for taking the time to comment. Tight lines, cheers Chris :-)
Really enjoyable!
Glad you enjoyed it Wendy, thanks! :-)
Hi brilliant ,I look forward to the next film.from Tom age 9
Thanks for the kind comments Tom and for taking the time to post them, it's nice to hear from you! :-) Glad you enjoyed the video! Tight lines, cheers Chris.
great vid again Chris, I think this is the way most tackle dealers are going with the new lighter and thinner rods, might have a go with my flattie
rod next time out, I would have loved to see you get a 20lb cod on the feeder rod 😵
Thanks for the kind comments mate and for taking the time to post them! :-) Haha.. it would have been one hell of a scrap! Yeah I think lighter tackle could be the way to go, especially on calm days when the Cod aren't there... It's got me thinking anyway!
Where have you gone mate
I’m still here Nathan! Just been filming freshwater videos with Steve. We will be doing some more beach fishing videos though - I’m also working on a video I made when I went to Norway in July. 😉🎣
Tight lines :)
Cheers Jimmy, you too mate!
me an dad watch every one of your films they are very good we fish at wayboun in norfolk Tom
Thanks for the kind comments Tom! Hope you and your Dad are catching a few fish! :-)
So wanted you get a 9lb cod on your 8lb line
Alec Tindal I've caught a 50 pound shovel nose shark/ray on 12 pound line
It would have been a good scrap Alec! :-)
I know mate, it's amazing what sort of strain 10,8 and even 6lb line can take! Cracking fish by the way too, I bet it went mental! :-)) Cheers Chris.
Keep cracking nuts with that sledgehammer, Alec.
I had a 20lb common on 4lb line
Would you try fishing in Blackpool / Cleveleys at some point or is it to far for you pal
It's quite a trek for us Aaron, we're down in Norfolk, East Anglia.
Great video. made my day :-)
Thanks for the kind comments, glad you enjoyed the video.
another sea fishing series coming?? COD quest?
Hi Steven, yes there should be! Hopefully lots planned this winter.
I was fishing off kessingland beach around the same time as you. I pulled in around 25 whiting and a dogfish. I started to think I was doing something wrong, because all I could catch was whiting. Lol.
Nice one mate! Haha... you can only catch whats in-front of you! :-) Glad you had a few fish. Cheers Chris.
brilliant fun! I use a 6ft spinning Rod and drop shot a size 8 trout hook small cube of mackerel half ounce weight at the bottom and bounce it from a harbour wall about 2 winds up off the bottom i catch everytime! pin whiting pouting rockling kills time while the big rods r out and stops you blanking 😂
Haha, that sounds like a plan Andy! :-)
Hi mate I'm looking to buy a fishing rod I have a £130 for a beach caster what would you recommend
Hi Lance, I'm a little bit out of touch with the latest rods! I've got some Greys GRX-s and I've had them years! If I was going to buy something I'd look at something from Greys, Daiwa or Sonik probably - am sure they all make some nice models.
OK mate cheers for the advice
I'm going to gorleston pier tomorrow anyone know how it's fishing
If you're going tomorrow Ethan, watch out for the weather, I think it's going to be a windy one. I think there's plenty of small Whiting and Dabs being caught.
thanks for the heads up at least I can sit in the car attached gorleston and your videos are awsome
hi thought I'd do a little report me and my grandfather fished 2 down 1 up with flapper rigs and blowlug on the end of the pier with 2 rods each caught 10 pin y tings 3 dab and one bass believe it or not
Nice one Ethan, sounds like a nice session. Hope you and your grandfather had fun! :-D Tight lines, cheers Chris.
The Jamie Oliver of fishing :-)
Haha, really mate!? :-D
nice video!
Cheers Steven!
Good video
Yes Luke very good indeed
Mr Reaction yep
Cheers Luke, glad you enjoyed it! :-)
Cheers mate, glad you enjoyed it! :-)
epic
Cheers Toby! :-D
Nice video prefer the sea ones
Cheers Sean, glad you enjoyed it! We do try and make a nice mixture of video's, it's just such a shame that the sea fishing has been so pants this year!
I wish I cud see you
Kin hell, remembered why I stopped sea fishing, its shite! 3oz leads and 20lb line on a broom handle 2/0 hook to catch 9oz fucking whiting lol! To get "sport" from the fish lol! I had lighter gear for my 42lb carp! Give it up lads :-) ps this guy is top, good vid, but seriously go do some proper fishing, uk shore angling these days is painful, even painful to watch! Day ticket! A tenner! Go find some pike ffs.
Haha! I understand you're frustration... sometimes! When it all goes right though (normally more often in the spring/summer now) and you manage a few Smoothound, Bass and Thornbacks you can't beat it! It such a shame this winter has been so poor for Codling!
From The Waters Edge TV yeah your right sport can. E had, but we didn't even get a hound run down my way this year (West Sussex) good few undulates which is weird as they only seem to of appeared these last couple of years, feel a bit bad catching them, they having such a hard time as it is. Might go whiting bashing with some freshwater kit, see how it goes :-) work alright as pike dead baits as well :-P
Keep up the good videos
Jake Palmer damn you! (Slams fist on table) that's just ruined my day) ps just got back from Thailand, 150lb wild Mekong cat, 120lb Siamese carp!! God fresh water fishing is crap 😂 how's the whiting a rockling battling going ?
+Gone ona Mission you got to travel that far to catch a fish you should of stayed there and fishing in sunny folkestone is great
