Hi Bud , I really enjoyed this video , some good tips .. Im from Scotland but now live in the North East of England and enjoyed all my days fishing in fresh water lochs fishing for Brown rainbow and brook trout both bait fishing and later fly fishing within Scotland ..Now been here a couple of yrs and learning as i go about sea fishing as i never really got into sea fishing when in Scotland and wish i had . Anyhow have caught some different species from piers here , but yet to catch a decent Cod or a Pollack in which id like to catch and no doubt shall in time but ye interesting video , with some good tips added which is always good to learn from . Thanks again 👍
Fantastic I've been of help to yourself...yes that cod and pollack will come...there are some nice cod around when the sea has been rough at the moment 😀
@peterhodgson7687 thanks peter I really should make a new one as I've found lures and just about everything have moved up another notch and have improved so much.... .the video will give you the basics for sure though...I hope you catch a big one...tightlines mate
Thanks mate just made my move to Donegal permanent and less than 3k to most beautiful shoreline, although a trout and salmon angler that keeps me busy in these parts always wanted to shore fish, just found your channel a few weeks ago and your video today will help me tackle up cheers again and your Geordie accent is great
Loved the video, great tips on tackle and technique for a newbie to lure fishing like myself. Off to buy some cheaper drilled bullets instead of chebs lol.
haha geeat stuff all i use are the drilled bullets ive not tried chebs so not certain if worth the extra dosh....glad the vid has helped hope you catch loads fish!
@@jarrowvikingsinsaneangling9785 yes thanks been going to Skye last couple years. Sadly not fishing. Until I been watching your videos. Got the fishing bug back. Hence buying new gear. I was camping same site kinlock. And up to niest point. . Thanks again.
Great videos JV professional, interesting and great tips, love the drone shots. Been fishing myself for a long time but always more to learn. You have helped me catch more fish and sparked my interest in new methods and marks. Recommended you to friends. Keep up the good work bud, tight lines.
Amazing comment Michael really makes all the effort behind the scenes worth while. Over the moon you enjoyed them and Ive helped you in anyway...heres to more insane videos cheers mate
Thanks for that. I do very occasional Pollack fishing in the Hebrides on holiday. Can be very frustrating, I came to the decision that it was 99% a question of whether the fish were there or not. I remember once catching a nice 4 pounder on my first cast. Then I decided to stop to clean and scale it before continuing. Stupid stupid stupid! Next cast I hooked and lost a big one in the kelp. That was that, they were gone. Still kicking myself, I'll never do that again. Hope I hit a shoal of takers like that again some day. Like I say, I believe it's mainly a question of being in the right place at the right time. I bet you've got that sussed. Will take your tips on board though, particularly the hook-in-the-lead one, brilliant.
yes pretty sure you're correct one moment they are there the next they can be off somewhere else following the tide and food. You found out the hard way how hard the big ones are to land you need to be on the ball and get them up and out of the snags as quick as possible...over the moon you gained something from the video
@@jarrowvikingsinsaneangling9785 Yes, over the years I hooked two or three must have been double figures. Couldn't get them up. They seem to tangle in the kelp and then throw the hook somehow. I always used about 14lb nylon. Might take your advice and scale up.
@@callumclark3358 yes ive watched them tangle they spin sideways and wrap it around the body...very clever you can wait until they think all is clear and just as they release themselves pull on them quickly...doesn't always work but if you are patient worth a try and heavier line will help you
@@backwinder thanks mate glad you like the videos...still been fishing mainly in summer with lures....do have the odd crack in winter but not so keen these days.. I do hope to go to Norway next winter to make a video so look out for that
Good informative video especially for those starting out . Can I ask what rucksack you use or is it a case of any will do . Thanks for the upload and keep them coming please 👍
its actually a karimor rucksack from sports direct...tbh i had huge doubts about but its been a great buy had it quite a few years now and it takes a load of weight without problems 😀
Tackle tarts are the bane of fishing... I've never been one of those who has to have the latest gear.. I use a scarborough reel for fishing and get people either taking the P.. or are amazed ....
awesome i used to see a guy on south shields pier with an alvey reel he could get a good distance with it and catch plenty of fish.. i quickly lose interest when talk of the newest 700nquid rod or reel comes out.. seems bass lure anglers are the worst
Hi Viking, Been watching your vids for years and finally heading up to Skye a week on Monday, travelling from the north east. Was hoping to do some spinning and some bait fishing. The tides are huge the week we are there any advice on marks to consider or totally ignore due to the size of the tides. We are staying in the north of the island east of Dunvegan so we have decent access to both the west and the east side of Skye. Thanks for your vids and we’ve totally took your advice on tackle etc just can’t wait to get there and hopefully the weather is kind and catch loads of fish. Thanks Gav
Thanks for watching Gav glad you like the vids. .dont worry too much about big tides in my videos the tides were huge too....you can fish neist point on the flood the tide isnt as strong but give the ebb a miss though its impossible to fish properly... elgol isnt really affected by tide no worries there and loch dunvegan has little tide too.. rubbha hunish is worth a go on the ebb but give flood a miss its crazy lol.....yes use your head and pick your times you'll be fine...Im away tomorrow to Skye should have vid and more info next weekend
hi salmo i like either a 2/0 or 3/0 mustad saltwater baitholder hook they keep your jellyworms on the hook...normal hooks will see the jellyworm slip down the hook....hope this helps mate
id alwsys but a shimano reel but you dont need to spend big bucks...get a 3000 or 4000 size spinning reel under 40 quid no probs and a 9ft ...20 to 40g rod will be ideal...
Hi mate, really nice video, so I am learning a lot with you, I am in Scotland so I can't find the video what you put pins on boots for hiking can you help with the link where you got? Tia
ill upload the video for you..its not really a fishing video so i keep it in the locker for those who wish to view..it will be available on my channel when u read this..ill leave it up for a week or two..
Sounds good mate be may or june before i get out lure fishing again do hope to pop to port carlisle in April if allowed out for my next video....flounder fishing is spectacular there
Hello mate iam new to this fishing and fancy trying a bit of spinning soon and i notice you have used the ABU devil so my question is what weigh lure you found worked the best with that rod.cheers
Hi mate you can buy the abu devil in various casting weights but mine was rated to cast a lure up to 60 grams....tbh 60g is my preferred weight for a lure the reason is I can cast them a good distance even when windy and they sink pretty fast to the bottom lighter lures i find are hard to control but everyone has different opinions
Great video thanks for sharing your wealth of experience with the rest of us 👍 You mentioned that the paddletails will catch cod at night, is that only in the warmer months or can it be done in winter as well?
Yes Im fine Robert thanks for the thoughts Ill be back making vids as soon as boris lets us out lol...ive not been fishing since December did have a couple of good cod catches in the craster area but never took the video gear due to poor weather....looking to.march or April to begin again look out the vids got lots of great plans coming up Skye Scotland and Norway over the next year
Hi JV, when you said you tie braid straight to the lure for strength do you include a swivel. I use a swivel and clip to swap lures but will take your tip on board if I`m adding weak spots. Haven`t been out yet with metals but ready to go. Keep up the good work.
Hi mate thanks for the great advice, could ibpossibly get an email address for you so as i can askbyou some more questions, im hoping in the summer to head up scotland not sure whether to go west coast or east coast
Hello Jarrow, a quick question: is the fact that you put the hook in the sinker to cast really effective? And by dint of throwing, transplanting elsewhere? And do you have a tip for the buldo? Otherwise, well done for your videos!
Hi Gary yes its a great method if you need to cast a redgill lure a long distance...need to fish deep water or fish into strong tides. I would recommend using a minimum of 25lb monofiliment line around 5 or 6ft in length as lighter lines tangle.. but yes its very effective with a fairly slow retrieve at the same pace
Great for the info! On the other hand, for my part, with rubber eels, I have to reel rather quickly. And I'm using the same leader as you approximately. Thank you so much! And continue your videos!

Thanks forgetting back to me mate really appreciate, good luck and look forward to seeing your new Skye vid.
Nice video mate 👍 expensive gear doesn't catch fish, it's the angler that catches them.
Never a truer word said its the expensive gear that catches the angler
best watch on youtube.
aww thanks mate means a lot great comment 👍
Morning , great vid very helpful could I asks a question about what size bait hook and make you use for jelly worms many thanks
hi salmo i like either a 2/0 or 3/0 mustad saltwater baitholder hook they keep your jellyworms on the hook...normal hooks will see the jellyworm slip down the hook....hope this helps mate
though it cant be helped sometimes but i try not to use the reel as a winch. usually use 1 shimano 2500 reel while spinning
Great video, thanks!
Glad you liked it hopefully helps others catch in future
Hi mate great video keep the good work up . What rod and reel would you recommend for mackerel fishing

as long as the sea is clear they should work in winter from rock marks they wotk really well in norway in depths of wintrr from the shore

What do you think about fishing for cod in February on St Abbs
not tried myself but angkers do get odd ones to bait and lures when its been flat calm for a while however im pretty sure it will be hard work
Hi mate what size bait holders do you use with the relax shads
3/0 is a good size for the shads Declan
Could you please tell me the name of the hitec boots and studs you recommend in one of your tackle talk videos , cheers
Yes Hi tec ravine and supertrack studs...video is back up for you Stephen thanks for watching

Hi James ill tie direct to a swivel on my metal lures but with plastics ill just tie straight to the hook no swivels
That Jarra accent was a bit hard for me to understand, being from Shields! Good video mate 👍
