Great vid mate and thanks for all your help today
You're welcome mate, was good to see you. Let me know how you get on with it.
Great video...keep them coming please...
Excellent.. it reminds me of when I used to fish the Harbour 40+ years ago, using a punt from Chub Keynes(RIP)
The Harbour always offered some of the best fishing, from Small Lipped Mullet on suitabley modified Mepps or the 'Mullet' spoons with ribbed silver blades and red beads sold at Davies Tackle, to thick Lipped on bread among the boats and of course the Sea Trout at Clay Pool. 100's of hours spent in total angling enjoyment.
I hope its still as good today?
We're very very lucky to have the harbour on our doorsteps, as you say it's a wonderful fishery.
Nice little session tom. Wait for the one on pop ups after the gars and scad. 👌
Thanks mate. Yes love fishing for the GG's especially on the pop ups.
What a great set-up for mullet i was trying to catch a few on the fly rod but kept lifting too early but hopefully next time I will get a few thanks for sharing big like from me bud tight line's and catch you on the next video 🤝
I've still not had a go on the fly for them! I keep chickening out! lol
Try fishing down from clay pool , with a Mepps no 2 spinner with treble tipped with 1inch off ragworm , red maggots work if you cannot get rag . Low water always was best as fish were pushed into the channel! Had a few sea trout and bass up to 8lb !! When using just the spinner only ever caught checker bass ! And be aware off bailiffs! If you get a sea trout they leave shiny scales all over you ! Bailiffs shine torch on you to see if you have caught one ! So no point lying ..
Nice Catch!!!
Thank you. Looking forward to doing this again this year.
You Welcome!!!
Keep It Up!!!
Lovely vid. I watched the one you did a few years ago too. When I posted my vid at that location I got told to take it down as it's apparently a secret mark! So...I made another one lol. I don't get why mullet fishing isn't more popular. Such good fun.
It's so secret they sell day tickets and yearly memberships! 🤣🤣
No I don't know why it's not more popular either, it's so simple and more often than not you get rewarded!
Glad you liked my video anyway.
Blessings.
Really enjoyed that!! Been holidaying in Mudeford for years and always had a couple of days on the Avon, but think i may give the harbour a go now for Bass and Mullet. Can i ask what time/tide do you think is best for catching?
My favourite time, especially on hot summer's days is in the evening as the light starts to fade. Tides are less crucial, I've caught them on most states, but if I had to pick I'd go with an ebbing tide.
Excellent, great session thank you for sharing 👍I had a walk round there at the weekend but it was pretty busy. I bought some mepps from the shop at the weekend & followed your video on how to make the mullet spinners, they turned out well.
Couple of questions: how much would the rod & reel set up cost?
Is it only ragworm that can used as some of my trips are impromptu which means I don't have ragworm, also what is the best way to keep the worms lasting longer when I've got some? & what about Isome worms, are they any good or would thin slithers of mackerel work?
Glad you enjoyed the video.
It does get quite busy at the weekends unfortunately.
You can get a nice rod and reel set up for about £60 that would be perfect for this, we have more expensive kit too of course.
Isome worms are probably the best alternative, but you can't beat live rag really.
Rag are very temperature sensitive, so in the summer months try and just buy what you need for each session. They don't do well in the hot sun sadly. Equally most domestic fridges are too cold and will kill them too!
I use to fish there as a kid & the mullet were the size of crocodiles back then , but come to think of it I had smaller hands then 🤔 many thanks for the reply tight lines 🎣
😎😎
Just found your videos which I am really enjoying. I am interested in trying out that method when I can get to Christchurch. Could you tell me what the clip is you attach the Mepps to and whether you have a swivel on the line anywhere. Thanks.
Hi Colin. Glad you like the videos. The clip I use is one of these in a size 1:
christchurchanglingcentre.co.uk/components/clips/match-rig-clips-10-pack/
I do not use a swivel for any of my lure fishing. They are very much unnecessary.
Thanks, Tom. Just wishing I lived a bit closer than landlocked Oxfordshire!
@@colinludford4137 you'll have to treat yourself to a weekend away down here!
You’ve read my mind,
Looks fun, do you need day ticket or be a club member to fish this stretch.
You can get a day ticket, a season ticket or members of RDAA can fish here too. This technique works very well in most estuaries though, anywhere you find thin lips.
@M i they should be yes!
Do you a need a Christchurch harbour permit to fish for mullet and bass at Stanpit marshes. Likewise for bass fishing at Mudeford quay tide race ?
For Stanpit and the majority of the harbour yes, but not Mudeford quay, that's classed as the sea and is free. Link for tickets here:
www.swlakestrust.org.uk/coarse-fishing-at-christchurch-harbour-lower-avon-and-stour
Do you know of any other spots apart from stanpit and Christchurch where you'll find thin lip and this method would work? Chain ferry? Rockley? Thanks
Sorry for late reply! Rockley is a good spot, but you can catch them on this method anywhere you find mullet. I do a fair bit further up the river around Tuckton, Meridians and Iford. Poole quay is worth a look too.
@@christchurchanglingcentre5428 oh wow, didn't realise they came up the river that far! Thanks
Do the Mullet hang around in the Christchurch harbour all year round?
There's the odd one caught, by coarse anglers usually, here and there in the winter, but it's just the odd rogue one. They definitely increase in numbers as the weather warms.
I’m getting so confused with mullet fishing so are they going for the spinner or the rag I’ve been told to present suttle as possible I’ve caught on bread but never spinning or fly it’s driving me crazy
So the spinning is almost entirely aimed at the thin lipped mullet, in fact I've only ever caught thins on this method. They are odd creatures as they will follow a spinner time after time, but won't take it unless it's baited. So I wonder if the spinner gets their curiosity then the worm takes their fancy once they're there?
You don't have to worry too much about subtly with this method, in fact the lighter you go on the hook length the more issues you'll have with line twist and tangles.
@@christchurchanglingcentre5428 I’ve fish spinners with a soft plastic lure on one treble for perch chub and Zander before I moved to Cornwall a became obsessed with bass and now mullet so frustrating bit I’ll figure it out all part of the fun but looks a wonderful mark have you tried on fly in the same mark ?
@@Kernow-lerf I don't fly fish for them but plenty do down there. It is a wonderful venue.
@@christchurchanglingcentre5428 looks stunning I’ll definitely make a trip up from sunny Cornwall
Can I ask what landing net your using please Tom?
This one is a simple Leeda Flip net. I have since upgraded to a Fox Rage one that has a rubberised mesh. This saves constant tangles with the hook and net.
Great video! Thanks for your help and advice the other day - Martin S. and I caught a boatful on your spinners and ragworm. Video on my page if you're interested...
Great stuff mate, will check it out :-)
Second one was a tree pounder.
🤣🤣🤣 Brilliant! I can't believe it's taken someone nearly 3 years to think of that!
سلام ایا ماهی کفال بزرگ را میشه با قلاب چرخشی صید کرد؟؟؟
Have you ever fly fished at that spot?
I haven't personally, but plenty of people do, very popular spot.
What is the best bait for mullet fishing
Bread
Does this way of fishing work for thick lip mullet ?
I've only ever had thins, but I know of a couple of anglers who say they've had thicks on them from other parts of the country. I was with Liam when he had a thick from Christchurch, but that's one fish out of hundreds over the years, so more of an exception rather than rule.
You really should tell your audience about the cost of Royalty Waters fishing permits !!
We have nothing to do with the royalty, you need to speak to Davis Tackle in Christchurch for information on that water.
@@christchurchanglingcentre5428 but you have to pay the Royalty Permit charge of £17.50 a day don't you? In order to fish at Stanpit legally. Stanpit is in the Royalty waters.
@@garycozins1325 you need to buy a harbour ticket which thankfully is half the price of the royalty ticket!
@@christchurchanglingcentre5428 Where do you get the harbour ticket from. Like the videos.

this is not Spinning.....!!
Sure is mate. Using a spinner to catch fish is the epitome of spinning. Maybe you're getting confused with lure fishing? Some lure anglers get very precious when people use bait. There's no need, it's all just fishing at the end of the day.
