I think the fish you caught at 17.00 thereabouts is a Shanny (Lipophrys pholis) which is a member of the Blenny family. There has been some speculation about it in the comments. Some people think it a wolf fish but you would have noticed the teeth in that instance! Another claimed it was an eel pout (otherwise known as a Viviparous Blenny) but the head shape is clearly wrong and it isn't anything like elongated enough. I'll stick with Shanny. Michaela x
First non wrasse species was a rock goby i think. Can usually tell from the fin. The second is not a wolf fish lol. Its a common blenny or Shanny as some call it. Glad to see a video like this. I have been trsching my young lad the joys of mini species fishing with lrf gear. When they are on the feed like that it is worth twitching lures instead. Makes it more of a challenge
In this weeks episode Graeme Pullen & Wayne Comben go Pier Fishing for Mini-Species! Awesome fun! Have you guys tried pier fishing before? If not get out there and give it a go! #pier #fishing #fish #awesome #variety #species #fun #video #youtube #hooked #lrf
I went pier fishing and I got 3 dogies and a few dozen under size coalfish. Ive been at my local harbour and while targeting flaties I only got coalfish. is there any way u can prevent the coalfish from taking the bait. also can u make a vid on how to catch sandeels without digging or using a net to catch them?
I'm not even joking about a year ago I was fishing of a pier when I caught one of those goby's you were talking about the thing was though it was just less than a foot! I had no idea what it was until this video thanks Graeme :-)
Always enjoy your videos (particular the ones where you crack open a tin for dinner but anyway....). It would be great to see a follow up video to this one with genuine LRF tackle and lures.
Hi guys. The fish species which you caught at 17 mins into the video is a Shanny. Member of the Blennie family and identified buy the red eyes. This is quite a big example of this species. Usually find them whilst looking for peeler crab.
You will catch more with small hooks.Try freshwater sizes down to size 8/10 and even 12,using a tiny piece of bait.Often if you use a larger hook the mini species clean it off and you miss the bite.In summer check the bait as you will also have crabs to contend with.
Hey TA. Great new video. As informative as the tackle shop segments are, definitely prefer these learn on the go videos because standing listening to an interview in a closed room for 20 mins out of a 35 min video was pretty boring. Keep on with the up & up :)
Graeme pls make an epsiode in a simular place with a waggler and maggots.Its a very good method and it is commonly used in eastern europe you ll be suprised with what you ll catch
I have no good spots to fish localy as there is no depth in water at all. But we always have wonderfull fun with kids oon low tide under rocks . Least time we got around 30 of them and 70 brown crabs
Would those fish work for bait off the same pier only where the current is? I enjoyed the different fish you caught. Nice day on the water. You don't always have to catch giants to have a good day fishing. I really enjoy your videos.
Sorry I wouldn't waist my time on the little things. Thats y I spend my time on the bow river around calgary. Those little ones squirm to much. Keep up the good work guys.
Hey tafishing, I was recently in a tackle shop, where they were selling fishing rods for about 20 euro's that were... 4 ft long, in total. What type of fishing would you use such a small rod for and would you use it off a pier?
To be honest, I am thinking about giving fishing up ! It used to be fun and relaxing but now it has turned into something nasty ! You have all these public waterway being controlled by fishing clubs and they only serve to make money. I have no problem with fisheries on private land, I respect that but crooked people are encroaching on public land and doing underhanded deals with the CRT and the local authorities ! Never thought it would come to this but it has. Greed and power corrupts !
Two points. One great video and I always like learning more about sea fishing. When hunting for small fish be careful of the weever fish nasty little thing. Lastly many years ago on the Isle of Wight pier fish hooked a fish called a smelt a old lady told me how to use it for live bait. Next thing I knew a huge thump on the rod it was a massive Bass it snap my line but what a bend in the rod. Never forget it. Don’t know if the Bass can be still seen around the pier use to be a lot once over. Good holiday
guys excuse my ignorance but the corkwing that was caught I actually thought it was a cuckoo wrasse. seems to be to colourful for a corkwing but ill probably be wrong
Its not ignorant, they are commonly confused with each other. The Cuckoo has a longer body, the Corkwing is wider and has a spot on the tail. The fish on this video was definitely a Corkwing, I have caught them with beautiful vibrant colours, they look tropical!
Shame i cant atach pics here those gobies and blenies we cach with kids undr rocks with girls. Also smaler brown crabs. My girls absolutly loves it. We have pick of one of those hanging on glowe :D good fun
can you fish in this area again that is where i fish i catch pollock, bass and all sorts down there please fish there again please go back to the first pier with the flags please !! :)

I love a bit of tiddler bashing on a light LRF rod, hours of fun! Almost guaranteed catching and good fights on light gear

Brilliant again enjoying each episode more and more, Keep em coming chaps!

I caught one and i looked it up, it us called an eel pout
+Alec Mclatchie it looks more like a very small wolf fish
That's the only thing I miss about Portsmiths when I lived there was fishing the harbour ad some great times back then and now living in Blackpool 😂😂
Always enjoy your videos (particular the ones where you crack open a tin for dinner but anyway....). It would be great to see a follow up video to this one with genuine LRF tackle and lures.
Nice video Graeme, really enjoyed it - food for thought.
Worked on the Warrior when it was being restored in the Mecca of the North, Hartlepool, you need to come fish up here Graeme
That little Guy was giving the camera the fish eye!
great video, really look forward to watching your uploads. Only problem is I have spent a small fortune in fishing gear the last few months lol.

Hi Graeme. Really good video. Your videos have gotten me into LRF fishing so I wondered what sized hooks you used. Keep up the good work!

+TAFishing Thanks I will try that!

Haha, I'm fishing off Brid pier today!

Peer fished yestday got a few flounders and rocklings
Awesome, did you get any pictures? If so send them in to our facebook or twitter

What fun!

hi can you come to the north east uk and fish off saltburn pier or whitby pier great piers to fish off ?
haha
Or a bit further up, Hartlepool, lot of good fishing up here Graeme
u can catch big fish down there I caught a 5 pound pollack and a 3 pounder
Hi Graeme loved this video.please could you tell me the pier used in the later part was it Victoria pier?
+ALAN THOMAS I don't remember the pier's name.Was it known locally as the millenium pier ?
i am a local there and we fish the harbour side with hole pout and we catch 5 pound bass
Hey tafishing, I was recently in a tackle shop, where they were selling fishing rods for about 20 euro's that were... 4 ft long, in total. What type of fishing would you use such a small rod for and would you use it off a pier?
Don't know what they would use them for.Best to ask the shop when you are in there
what reels were you using in this video
Would you be able to give me a link to a website or video to see how the rig is tied please?
What kind of spinning reels are you using at 9:27? they look interesting.
They might be the Tok 4000 or even out of production baitrunners.

I see big bass their all the time do u know a good flounder rig?
+William Archbold Look on our sea rigs playlist.3-hook flapper by Tony Kirrage of the Whackernoster.Just copy those.
The small fish with the four spins its a deep water goby
is a weaver fish what we'd call in the north east a granny fish?
I have no idea..just that if you think its a Weaver don't make a grab for it.
Are you ever going to do a mackerel vid?
What would you say you would catch from witering ??
At this time of year Whiting, small school bass and small Codling. Lugworm or Ragworm best bait, at night on a spring tide.
I'm pier fishing in France should i use the same tactics and tackle
Yes,small baits,small hooks,close in.Light weights.
TAFishing ok thanks for the advice
why do you need 15 lb line when fishing for small fish or is it for if a bass comes? TAFishing
Just don't want to throw good 15lb away to refill with 6lbs. Plus if a big bass comes along at least you have a chance of landing it.
thanks for the tips
The fish you caught which you didn't know of the species I catch them off piers and off rocks in Spain but I don't have a clue what their called
only fish I've ever caught there are wrasse, whiting, puting, think I once caught a tiny goby and saw a bloke lose a decent Pollack I think aswell
Weymouth is excellent for LRF
Can I use a live Goby as bait on a boat and if so what can I expect to catch
Probably Bass and Pollack would eat them.
It looked like a wolf fish that you caught from the pier
What peri was the second one ?
Would a rubber lure be good for portsmouth ?
I live in Portsmouth
I live there!

nice 1 thanks
11:57 - Rock Goby
13:05 - Long spined sea scorpion
And last fish is a common blenny
could you have lured fish off that pier and still caught?
Maybe on tiny rubber imitations,but bait generally better.
They save a blank
Shame i cant atach pics here those gobies and blenies we cach with kids undr rocks with girls. Also smaler brown crabs. My girls absolutly loves it. We have pick of one of those hanging on glowe :D good fun
Had a 1 3/4 pound ballan on a 6ft rod I've had since I was 6 yesterday

Right in Portsmouth harbour. I think Wayne said it is known as the millennium pier ??
15:39 that fish is a wolfish
Firsts comment woohoo
