    Another great film and a great presenter, keep up the great uploads , and get yourself a large baitmate, Veals mail order , but rub down the edges with a bit of wet & dry cause they catch the elastic when you pull the bait off.

I've got some drone footage, that I'm going to stick on Instagram of a major tourist honey pot, little do the they know that they're standing on a undercut ledge 50m from the sea that looks like it could collapse at any moment.

    • @SlippyLimpets
      @SlippyLimpets  3 роки тому

      Thank you, as always, and glad you liked the footage. Just to add some context to what we do, because I know it can look a bit reckless on video. I'm a qualified rock climbing instructor and we're lucky enough to have rock climbed all over Europe (in our younger days) so the approaches seem safe enough and within our comfort zone compared to past experiences. A life jacket is a good idea but Lucie is a trained beach lifeguard and I've surfed for 20 years, so feel confident around the water. We also carry a floating VHF because phone signal is often rubbish

    @happyguy5414 3 роки тому +1

    Word of advice for novice lure fishermen watching this. When fishing a new mark, always try and get there over low water so that you can see what’s down there to hold the Pollock. The time to fish is on the flooding tide about an hour before high water and fish it until about 2 hours on the ebb. Other times of the tide are pretty much a waste of time. You will always lose more lures than it’s worth over low tide.
    If you don’t get a chance to see your chosen mark over low water, test the depth by either removing the treble hooks or cover it with a hook protector. Cast out and count down until the line slackens and memorise it. Cast around in a fan shape around you and see if there are any drop offs or rises in the seabed as these will be the places that hold the fish. The pollock will be down in the kelp or just above it and you will need to get your lure right down to them on 9 out of 10 occasions. If the sea is as clear as gin, they will come up to the surface after your lure, but will stay deep if the water clarity is not quite so good. If there’s no clarity in the water, then go home as you won’t catch pollock.
    As mentioned you will need to get your lure right down to the kelp, so you will need to count down and stop the lure just before it hits the kelp, that way you’ll save your lures and you’ll catch fish.
    It’s served me very well for 50 odd years on the Llyn Peninsula where I live and fish.
    Worth mentioning is my worry regarding the lack of mackerel in our waters this year, apparently they’re scarce country wide!
    Sizeable Pollock and Cole fish are also scarce, but the sea is absolutely full of pin sized pollock like never before. Thankfully there’s been plenty of nice Bass around since April, especially as the sea has been flat calm pretty much all summer meaning lure fishing has been easy.

    • @SlippyLimpets
      @SlippyLimpets  3 роки тому +1

      Sound advice and pretty much what I do. One difference though is I swap trebles for singles means you don't have to take them off and risk missing a bite while fanning casts and plumbing the depths.
      It's a good point about this year's mackerel numbers, I've only caught 2 for the whole season and normally I can't get through them

    • @happyguy5414
      @happyguy5414 3 роки тому

      @@SlippyLimpets very good point re the hooks👍🏻
      Worth mentioning is a sure fire way of catching pollock when all else fails is to use a 75mm - 100mm redgill or similar make and fit a half or three quarters ounce barrel lead approximately the rod length from the lure kept in place by a small swivel and bead. Cast out to where you think the pollock are and let it sink to the bottom and then wind it back in as slowly as you dare without it becoming snagged. Use a sink & draw retrieve if nothing happens after a couple of casts.
      If this fails to catch, then the fish are either not there or just not feeding.
      I often find this method will take fish every cast when all other methods have failed to produce solid takes. I only use it as a last resort as it can be a little awkward to cast out when I’m fishing from the rocks.

    • @SlippyLimpets
      @SlippyLimpets  3 роки тому +1

      Cheers mate! You've got a point about the chess, I think they can snag up easily if fishing in boulders, the shape lends itself to rolling between boulders and hard to pull out. The ground I normally fish with them is pretty compact so I tend to be able to pull up and over snags OK. Saying this, I'm not sure if fishing with a cone weight would be any better given it's ability to jam the pointed tip into cracks. Sorry I haven't got a solution for you, it's just the way it is with fishing in the deck.
