Вставка
- Опубліковано 27 сер 2024
- I take a trip down to Brighton Marinas West arm for the First time in 30 Years.
This is not a sponsored video , we use the garmin Striker that i got sent to trial and return , It works pretty well but as always i will be honest about anything we test
Theres better fishing for sure Here and i will be back to get a few more fish next time !
Feel free to email me at matt@saltwaterangler.uk with suggestions or just to let me know how you're getting on with your fishing.
You can always join us with the saltwater Angler email list here

6:14 fish all over the place.
Yes it looks like there was - good spot have pinned this post . This was also when my friend was lure fishing. Thanks for pointing this out
Goodness how refreshing there are others out there like me, go out full of enthusiasm and slowly get depressed as time goes by. Like you I put videos up showing the good and bad reality of fishing loved it 👍👍👍
I feel our pain ! I also enjoy your videos ua-cam.com/users/SeaFishingWithPaul
@@SaltwaterAngler Thanks for the kind supportive words much much appreciated cheers Paul 👍👍🐠
Yes it's very frustrating for me to look back and see the quality of fishing now. Knowing how good it could be if the seas were able to recover. I suppose it was inevitable that once technology could see the fish they could easily be wiped out by stupidity.
.
@@kerryfoster1 Deeply depressing in the extreme the stupidity and greed of humankind which we see ably demonstrated every day in our newspapers and particularly politics so greed and selfish ambitions. Makes me sad that our beautiful bounteous world is being plundered and will inevitably lead to a dark conclusion for future generations and it would seem our leaders are good at talking but have lost their moral compass.
@@SeaFishingWithPaul Yes 50 years of seeing our seas fish stocks diminish does not give me much hope. Considering 95% of my fish went back again.😦😦
Thanks for the mention!! Made me super happy, such a pleasure meeting you, we will need to meet for a session soon :)
Any time! The next day i was in to some lure caught bass !
Every fisherman has felt that frustration before, probably many times!. I like the fact you show the good and bad days, many other channels show a false sense of reality. Good to see the honest side of fishing!.. at least it was sunny as you said.. no worse thing in fishing getting drenched and blanking.
Great video matt! The marina can definitely produce great fish at times, maybe next time!
Love fishing in Brighton marina !!
Always good to watch Matt, I think the fun in fishing you never know when you set put what's gonna happen! Gadgets could make you lazy if you know what I mean, you have the skills that's for sure !!
Thanks Neville, I’ve had it before in the kayak where you see the fish and then get frustrated blanking !
Thanks for the vid. We once spent 6hrs on East arm without a bite, and we weren't the only ones. It's the taking part that counts!!!
Ha yea better than shopping at least eh
Here's a tip when fishing busy piers during the summer ... when holiday makers are chucking small pout or whiting back, which are stunned or dead during the "return" =
Freeline a dead pout down the wall, make it float with a hypodermic syringe of air if you fancy??
I've seen big bass who have got savvy, take the pout bait like a trout taking a dry fly 😉 ❤
Oh yes have used this to good effect ! Great tip
I've seen & used the floating dead pout bait to huge effect off piers for bass, where holiday makers were chucking small pout back, that got knackered/stunned 😊.... I take no credit. I just observed & copied 😉 ... 11lbs 10oz was my best, but I saw many better by others
Good tip mate .. it makes sense.
Your not cheating the trawlers are, so fish all you can lad,good luck 👍👍👍👍
A good honest video, we all have days like this some more than others, if nothing the weather for November looked fantastic sometime that can be as good as catching, living up in the northeast of Scotland I am envious of day like this as they are very few and far between.
Cheers Brian
Good effort Mat, if the fish aren't there then you cant catch any. We have all had those days that start with hope and promise, only to be left frustrated and disappointed . As an old git I try to eliminate them but they still crop up. It makes the good days even better. keep up the good work.
Thanks again mate
During the constant winds of Winter 22 the beach next to the West arm was covered in mussel shells. This HAS to be a good bait there!
Ahh i didnt know that interesting
Beautiful day you had Matt, pity the fish didn’t turn up but that’s fishing. Admit to being jealous watching you on such a lovely day.
Believe you were well into the bass short time later, well done. Can’t have it all the time can we. Take care thanks for sharing, even the bad days lol
No worries Stephen thanks for that. I had a run of six blanks a couple of years ago 😂😂
The joys of fishing , we all have frustrating sessions where the fish don't want to play .
Better luck next time .
Thanks incidently ive just landed 14 Good Bass today ! its funny how it goes
What a fine day! I visit this arm regularly when visiting the Marina - but to observe, not fish. Never see much being caught, but you can fish at night when it may be better. The west arm can be very snaggy but the east arm is mostly clear (I've been told).
Wonder what a shoal of mackerel would look like on the fish finder?
When the mackerel turned up in September the arm was packed, but it's mostly fairly quiet. Great video mate!
Hi Kerry, thanks as always
Went to the same spot yesterday. 2 hours before and 2hours after the tide, no fish no bite for the whole pier. Probably fish not active on Sunday in Brighton. Prefer to rest. No eating.
Yea can be hit or miss- mostly miss for me there recently.
Just came across your channel, subbed of course! I'm up in Anglesey, but fished that spot one Christmas, loads of good sized codling to about 5 pounds, on black lug and squid combo only about 40 yards out!
Nice one welcome to the channel, my fishing started around me the llyn so nearer to you - wow would love some codling for sure !
Another great video. I have a deeper chirp, that I hardly use. It would be great for Stillwater so you could map the whole area that you fish, to find holes & ledges etc. Not much use from a beach as the waves would obvious give false readings, & it only takes one storm to change the bottom features anyway. However, this unit can be cast up to 300ft & still maintain a signal to your phone or tablet. Great technology, but limiting to more calm water.
Recreational fishing as opposed to commercial fishing should be free from too much tech.
This is my opinion and I know others may disagree.
If your livelihood does not depend on it fishing is supposed to be a hobby, a recreational activity that everyone can enjoy.
Fishing should be for all, regardless of financial ability to buy the latest kit.
Nobody should have to endure watching rich folk with all the latest gear smashing it while they are made to feel inferior because of financial status.
Genuine knowledge and experience is different as it is earned and (mostly) freely available, not bought.
@@jedfra9172 Fishing is for all. If you don’t like watching rich people with all their expensive tackle, the answer is simple. Don’t watch them. Concentrate on being the best you can be, & don’t worry about what other people are doing.
Many years ago maybe 20? i had an Hummingbird fish finder which worked brilliantly. I have recently bought the Deeper start which seems great although only used it once. They both process the data and have varying size fish icons on the image instead of displaying it raw like the screen you showed. It's not cheating, it is increasing your chance of catching! Just like bait on your hook does!
Interesting thanks
Never ever, bent rod is what counts, more ways to catch the better. Nice one 👍
Cheers John
I think the fishfinder gadget things are better suited to kayaks, boats and lakes. Never tried one but seen some videos. Nice video, nice to see some of my old haunts. 🙂
Good point thanks
I always take a small rod as well as the big guns and put out rig with small hooks. Usually I get the most fish on that one. Also can bang feathers lure float out. Call it a reaction rod. I have caught 3 lb bass on tiny sabuki this year which has changed the way I fish. I rate mackerel bait over squid any day. I have even out fished guys using fresh lug w all the trimmings on Mac 👍👍👍
Nice one , yep will always have a lure rod ready now
Excellent video matt. Was the rod snagged up towards the end there? You seem to be walking up and down the pier as if it is caught up. Though there was no catch this time, its still nice to be out there trying.
It was both ! I could feel the thud of a conger but the weight or it’s tail was snagged ! Very frustrating!
Mat I don't want to here lures only work in clear water please. I live in Hastings near Brighton and I've caught bass on the low tide not even passed 2ft of water deep. Dirty coloured water and I hit the bass more so in these conditions.
Maybe you should visit.
Your channel is worth a subscription.. keep at it mate .
Thanks very much , I agree I think people tend to only fish clear conditions . Although they do sometimes mis- hit the lures - thanks for subscribing - That Hastings sounds good 👍
@@SaltwaterAngler get down there . I fish the low tide . Wade out and walk it out there. Live fresh lug on a single patonostor.
Let me know and I will join you!
The arcs off the bottom could be fish on your display
Yea thanks, there were conger perhaps
Nice try Matt! Shame the Fishy critters weren't playing ball! Not sure about that Garmin device - I don't think it's cheating, boats use them all the time, but I'd be worried about getting it snagged & lost. Stay safe & well. 👍👍
Good points as usual Dave thank you 😊
Matt still enjoyed the video mate better luck next time
By the way the cod are showing in the Bristol channel , give it a go.
Cheers , one day I’ll go fish it
Nice one Matt
I've never blanked off Brighton marina. Just letting you know. 🤣🤣
Noooo ! Don’t say that 😂😂😂
No self respecting boat angler would go to sea without a sonar so why not use one from the shore in certain circumstances? I would suggest that a harbour wall would be perfect to use the Garmin to find structure where a conger might be hiding. I’ve dived along the harbour wall years ago and there were many holes and rocks with a conger poking out. The Garmin would help find those features without getting wet. Having said that the regulars know where they are because fish have caught there before.
Great watch as usual.
Interesting Mike thank you
fished there for years.mostly at night,lots of bass caught on live bait on the inside wall..where you were more likely to get snagged up..good luck for next time..
Thanks Stuart , yes I’ll be back for sure !
better on the beach there for bass or by old pier
Great video 👍👍🎣🎣
Thanks for watching
I want 1.
For my creek fishing
wouldn’t have happened in the 70’ plenty of fish inshore!
I wonder how tom swayer managed, 🤣🤣🤣
I like the idea of the Garmin and would like one but they are a fair amount of money for a bit of a gimmick
👍
May I ask the gear you are using? A guide for a bigener like me. Thanks
Sure, there is a beginners guide to gear here on the channel but I’m increasingly encouraging new anglers to go for a continental style rod , perhaps second hand with a fixed spool like a surfblaster. A lot of anglers go for too stiff rods.
Fished there last month.worst place we ever went to on a weekend. Too overcrowded people fighting just because of lines crossing.
Think I benefited on going midweek. Less crowded
@@SaltwaterAngler yes that was exactly what my mates said about that place.better midweek a no go on the weekends.😁😁😁😁
@@SaltwaterAngler We did the same a few days ago down here Matt - had planned our usual Friday evening session but realised there were fireworks around the harbour on the friday, so went Thursday instead. Only 6 other anglers out on the pier, nice but cold session, I blanked. Still good to be out!
What are the prices for fishing the marina and how do you pay?
For up to date info call the tackle box tel:01273 696477 they also have their own email updates on the website
That has to be the worst fish finder in modern history.
Oh the west arm or tackle graveyard. You weren't in my bay but I've seen some cracking bass caught on lure/float but you'll need to send choccy for more info 🐸💖🤗🤗🤗🤗
Thanks for the tips! ill ready the thorntons
@@SaltwaterAngler oooo, getting spoilt 😋😋😋
Did you find it realky snaggy here ??
Yes
Looking forward to listen to you and natural sound around,!!
But some clown was playing bloody music, didn’t watch every more.
Thanks Tony - did you mean the sound from the radio next door to us ?
Where is best to park and get fishing there
Hi Craig the car park in the marina is free -
Have you heard of a dingle dangle?
Sounds exotic
As you said you dont normally fish that area in other words stick to where you know.
No, Always learn something fishing somewhere different and its enjoyable getting out and about on our wonderful coastline.
Ah its a day out it happens
Cheers mate 👍
There are no fish to be caught the French where there earlier 🇬🇧
😂😂
I think that was called a snag mate…
Yea I didn’t really explain that section - it was both a hooked fish thudding away and snagged so frustrating. Either the lead of the pulley rig stuck and still got a direct line to the fish or a conger with its tail wrapped round something ?
How much do you have to pay to fish there?
With the shades on you look like Suggs who co-incidentally was strolling through Whitstable this morning. Cheating?......complete madness.
I should have a prize for best comment ! very good as usual JW i look forward to the next one...
Like
Cheating No practicable Yes
Nah, you weren't cheating Matt. .... I cheat though, with my cemtex artificial lugworms 😨😨
You need a Bluetooth mic
Ones just come through the post ! Finally should be able to sort out the sound. Thanks Nick
I’ve watched two videos now and you’ve caught nothing 😂
There’s a few more blanks out there too!
This is why its called fishing amd not catching lol.
Very true
There's no need for the crazy music, spoils video.
Good input thank you.
It might help if you don`t talk so much
