Catch Fish in the Thames Estuary: GREENHYTHE - CROSSWAYS
Вставка
- Опубліковано 27 сер 2024
- Two sessions in May (fished 15.05.21 and 20.05.21) at Crossways, Greenhythe (Kent, UK). Both were near the Ferry Jetty, with the first session fished the day after a match. The second session had more favourable weather and produced a few more fish. Both resulted in the capture of flounders and soles. Venue details, rigs and techniques are dealt with.

well it's about time I pay credit to where credit is due..
I came across your channel a few months back and I think it's one of the best..it shows fishing how it should be, no manic screams or running up and down...it calm , and informative and technically informative...the camera work is very professional and of a high quality...
Personally I feel anyone who is just beginning and does who have fished there lifetime will learn from these presentations...
I particularly enjoy your approach...
I am surprised that more people aren't showing more support...so maybe you fellas watching might show a little more appreciate, the effort in making such presentation is enormous...
So yes great viewing, thanks for keeping us entertained and hopefully many more 🎣👍
Many thanks for that Michael and those who have commented below. I does make a big difference to hear that others appreciate my efforts - Its what keeps me motivated to continue producing these videos.

Your welcome
I look forward to your next adventure, I'm just off chasing smoothounds out of ramsgate..
All the best 🎣
I think the support for Rod is excellent. Very few negative comments and many likes. As it should be for a first class film maker.
@@tonycross5801 good morning...well put, let's hope there more people who will subscribe to this great channel, which shows the sport we love and that gives so much enjoyment, the pat on the back it so deserves.
Where did you park pls?
😊Another good video Michael few fish keep them coming cheers
Thanks, will do Clive!
At risk of an accusation of being boring, another excellent, informative and interesting video. That said, I'm quite happy at being called boring when what I say just happens to be true and a fitting description. Thanks for sharing and as others have said, please keep up the good work. Luckily for us, there must be hundreds of other locations waiting for your fishing and filming expertise. Cheers. Ken
Thanks Ken - not boring at all - these are the sort of comment I like to read! Yes - many venues still to cover!
Just saw this new upload! Looking forward to watching this as the weather is miserable. Thank you Michael!
Good stuff!
Really enjoyed it Rod
Many thanks again Mark.
I now live in Cornwall but grew up around Dartford and Greenhithe we used to fish Erith pier and Long reach.
Great video buddy keep em coming 👍🎣
Thanks for that - must get round to fishing in Cornwall; particularly for gilthead bream.
Well done Rod, I'm really enjoying these vids, you're inspiring me to go to places that I thought I would never visit again, like the inner Thames estuary, which is where I cut my teeth sea fishing for flounders over thirty years ago, all I need now is the time as I'm back at work!! Also I must say that in the comments section in this video I agree with every word that Michael Hayes writes, I'm definitely a supporter of this channel & your approach to fishing/film making, all the best, tight lines!
Many thanks for that Paul. Plenty more Thames videos to come. Hope to see more of your sea sessions and good luck (+ well done) in your new job!
Excellent once again. Great getting sole on both sessions.
Thanks again Mike!
Nice vidio, have you ever thought of trying the tidal Medway around the M2 bridge? I think that there are some nice bass around there. Also how about trying to catch the numerouse mullet around Rochester Bridge
Great as always 🎣
Many thanks Alan.
Love your channel keep up the good job
Many thanks for that.
Top stuff Rods...all that hard work finaly paid off..
Good job you were fishing high up, as im pretty sure fishing off the sand you would have lost lots of rigs and fish.
Stay safe
Thanks gazellis1961. I think you are probably right 👍
A fisherman with sole!
Thanks Mike!
Fished the exact spot many of times.. and slightly past the blue bridge to your left.. had plenty of school bass. Can be very snaggy there though.. on a small tide you can fish the bit of beach to your right.
Thanks for the info and for watching Sean!
Great vid as usual. I remember thia venue when none of them structures were there at all. My gran used to live in Cotton Lane and when i used to visit weather permitting used walk across the marshes and sit on that beach to your right. I did fish there once back in the 80s and caught a solitary flounder. Incidentally where did you park your car when you fished here. Looking on google maps and it all looks just industry and i wouldn't want to park up and get a clamp. Thanks again for a very informative video and bringing back some great old memories to me.
Yes - parking is at your own risk at Quadrant Court. Thanks for watching and your input Mark.
Good video mate. I use a running ledger of arnd 8 2 10 feet with size 4 or 2 hooks. Pig to cast but works. 👍
Nice one - plenty of options available👍 I just tend to stick with what works for me!
Great video Rod. Most informative. Have you got a video explaining the functions of the various rigs?
Thanks again Tony. Still have many more rig tying tutorial segments to share; so will be a while yet before I cover enough of a range to then be able to make videos about rig choice / functions etc.
Another great video Rod, I love watching your channel, may I ask where is the best place to park the car around please?
Thanks Terry. You can park in Quadrant Close; but its at your own risk!
Myself, i'm a non-angler, but i do enjoy watching the videos on this channel. I have a question. I realise that this is the Thames estuary, so sea-fish would be in abundance. At what point on the actual River Thames does salt water get replaced by fresh water ? I guess what im really asking is how far inland would you be able to catch sea-fish like Bass & Flounder ?
I would say as far as rainham would be normal for both bass and flounder..and even further up river for the flounder...right up to London and further. I have had them at Staines..
I seen the London City angler guy catch whiting and flatties at Thamesmead. As an American tourist who can't stand being near water without a rod, I've caught a couple flatties and eels on an Argos carp rod right beside Tower Bridge. I became my own tourist attraction and forgot about all about being a sight seer.
Thanks Ryan. Bass need the water more salty than flounders, which can be caught as far upriver as Teddington Lock - you wouldn't target them there, but it wouldn't be too much of a surprise to catch one (although rare). I fished a team match (coarse) on the Gloucester Canal on Sunday and there was a flounder caught in my section.
Off subject , do you know where the vessel at 28:30 comes from and to ? I see them daily when I walk the dog in Southend . Thanks for sharing the video 🙏
Thanks for watching - sorry I can't answer your question! However I do have a good app which you may find useful for identifying vessels - Marine Tracker. This gives live tracking info with ship name and origin.
Great video mate and a local mark for me, where do you park? I park in the campenile but from where your walking from looks easier access
Thanks Dan - you can park in Quadrant Court, but its at your own risk.
Just one question I need to ask,
How far up the Thames can you go before you need to have a Fishing Rod licence ?????
Great Video's a usual, please keep them coming.
From the Thames Barrier downstream no rod licence is needed. From Runnymede downstream its free fishing, but you'll need a rod licence for coarse and game fishing. Thanks for watching John.
Great video Rod. As always. I always feel entertained and educated. Thanks. Do you find casting with braid restricting. I lost distance when i changed to braid. TIA.
Thanks Mark. No - since braid is much finer in diameter I find I can cast much further, than with mono. There are differences in braid type though.
@@rodsangleuk6283 Thanks Rod. I have arthritis quite bad so i cant get out as much i would like. Your videos are a very close second best. Forgot to say thanks mate.
what size are your booms, please?
I use a range of sizes - for close in to medium range, they tend to be about 9'' and 4''-5'' for distance work.
How far out do you cast
Distance cast probably 90yds. The soles were caught about 50-60 yds out.
Your like me fishing or shooting i liked my own company packed guns in a few yrs after kids were born
Cant fish now health is poor
Sorry to hear that, especially since fishing is so good for your health.
@@rodsangleuk6283 getting set up with cb and going to take radio ham license
Ive enough cash for good set but id sooner be on the pond trying for carp on the pole or down the field with shotgun under my arm like lord of the manner
I can tell your happy in your
World
I like your manner very calm and happy whatever you catch
Got a 15lb barracuda spinning off beach in tennerife waded in about 20 yds water just above knee height saw bait fish jumping 20yds away som ething was after them i could see big silver fish chasing i knew they were cudas i fished 15lb line 2 ft wire trace and.a cracking shiny spinner first cast just beyond bait fish nearly ripped rod out my hands but i had it fought like a monster jumping out water like a marlin i walked it back to beach i gave it to 2 spaniards to eat they were chuffed
Teeth like esther rantzen
Tight lines
Does any of family fish
Good stuff! My father used to sea fish with a club, but is really in to salmon and trout. I still go with him on the odd occasion.
