Yet another beautifully filmed session. Love the gilthead bream and the sand smelt - beautiful fishes. I've been on the local canals and have started on the perch on light gear. Nice to get out there and catch something again.
Thank you 😊 glad you enjoyed it! It's nice this time of year and through winter for sure. Thanks for watching. Don't forget to sub. Plenty more to come
Thank you Scott. Means a lot. Like I said in the video. Trust the process. I spent last year trying to figure it out and soon realised the smaller you fish the more you catch. A tiny piece of gulp will out-fish a big section. Fish small. Trust the process.
Thanks Mike. Was worth the effort for sure. The 56 has just crept up over the year. I hadn't really targeted anything since April. But knowing Gilts were possible I'm now going to push to 60.
Thanks Dan, great session, I was wondering if you had tried Newtons Cove not far from where you are, lots of lovely rock marks to play on, well worth a look. Not had a session like that since I lived there.
Ohhhhh. There..... I got halfway round and headed back on Tuesday. Had a Shanny from the rockpools under the Fort. Then had to head for the inner harbour
Great video again Dan. Gutted i didnt bump into you as i fished the stone pier at 6pm onwards. But looks like you left just as i parked at the nothe fort 🙁
@@LRFandHRF i had a couple of squid; which is what i went for. It was VERY busy- as word soon gets around when they come in. Still very early for them as the water temp is still very warm
Another relaxing video with a great background town and harbour. Im actually traveling 4 hours to fish there next Mon and tues. Predicted strong wind Monday,and lesser tue but a few showers. Only done 2 sessions lrfing actually last week in Tenerife caught a Maderian rock fish apparently venemous and a cuckoo wrasse. Was 30 Deg and a struggle but loved it. Any tips to best use my time ie piers,inner harbour bit of spoon fishing off the beach. Any guidance would be appreciated!
Glad you enjoyed it. I'll be honest. I've only fished Weymouth 4 tines so not the best person to ask really. The Black Bream are right of the end of stone pier and love a very slow sinking SMALL bait on a split shot. Other than that it's just fill ya boots in the harbour with 10 million black gobies. Enjoy. Let me know how it goes
Hi Dan Had a couple of days fishing at Weymouth. The harbour water was chocolate on the first day the flood sluice gates being open,and the tackle shop guys said people had been blanking. I
Crankbait. Caught 10 species ,approx 100 fish, amazing, wrasse,gobies,smelt, Pollock,pouting,a large flounder,shanny.Fantastic place thanks for your inspiring videos.Im well hooked
I’ve looked at that braid, but have Diawa J braid x8 which is a thinner diameter, why do so many lrfers go with the dangram when it is a slightly larger diameter?
It all snags and snaps the same. I remember buying some 50 quid braid when I started. Cast no better. Same amount of snap offs. But hurt a lot more snapping off expensive braid. The amount I fish, I'm happy replacing dangan as its not the most expensive. Personal preference. Each to their own though
Another cracking session. Well done.Nothing better than watching your videos and enjoying a coffee.
Thanks. Well. There's maybe one thing better??? Catching them and enjoying a coffee
Another quality video Dan, pleasure to watch mate 🙌
Thank you very much 😊 enjoyed editing this one

Thank you 😊 The Gilthead is a special one isn't it. Good ti hear you're out and catching.
Great video never been to Weymouth, I should really it's not that far away seeing that video the place looks beautiful and the fishing is a bonus
Thank you 😊 glad you enjoyed it! It's nice this time of year and through winter for sure. Thanks for watching. Don't forget to sub. Plenty more to come
Well done Dan! Really enjoy your content and the way you make it look so easy. Can’t wait to see the next 4 species!

Another great video dan, i reckon you'll manage 61 species this year but even if you don't 56 is an amazing achievement
Cheers. Quite confident of hitting 60. Couldn't end on 61. That would mean pushing for 65 haha
Congratulations on the Gilthead bream and 56 is some achievement
Thanks Mike. Was worth the effort for sure. The 56 has just crept up over the year. I hadn't really targeted anything since April. But knowing Gilts were possible I'm now going to push to 60.
Most definitely. Good luck
Thank you. Watch this space
Thanks Dan, great session, I was wondering if you had tried Newtons Cove not far from where you are, lots of lovely rock marks to play on, well worth a look. Not had a session like that since I lived there.
You're welcome Alan. I've never fished it. I've only ever fished Swanage and Weymouth around that area. Also Chesil but won't mention that here haha
Newtons cove is only 2-300 yds from the harbour have a look on google maps@@LRFandHRF
Ohhhhh. There..... I got halfway round and headed back on Tuesday. Had a Shanny from the rockpools under the Fort. Then had to head for the inner harbour
Thanks for the info Dan , I at least have an idea where to go . Great video
Ni worries. Plenty to be had at Weymouth. Just fish small and you be hauling them in all day long
Brilliant. Love this!
Thanks. Me too.
Weymouth is some place , adore it .
It's amazing! Love it there!
Great video again Dan.

Cheers Karl. I left around 7. Almost went back to the pier but could here home calling. Did you get much off the pier?
@@LRFandHRF i had a couple of squid; which is what i went for.
It was VERY busy- as word soon gets around when they come in.
Still very early for them as the water temp is still very warm
Oh nice. Was told they were there. Glad I left when I did. Not a fan of shoulder to shoulder fishing haha

Hi Dan
Had a couple of days fishing at Weymouth.
The harbour water was chocolate on the first day the flood sluice gates being open,and the tackle shop guys said people had been blanking.
I
The next day clearer.fished the harbour ,piers and breakwater and Newton's cove.Mainly used a bb splitshot rig and gulp plus spoons and a
Crankbait.
Caught 10 species ,approx 100 fish, amazing, wrasse,gobies,smelt, Pollock,pouting,a large flounder,shanny.Fantastic place thanks for your inspiring videos.Im well hooked
Wow that's amazing. Well done. Be careful though. It's a slippery slope haha. A lot of the saltwater techniques transfer well into Freshwater too.
If you break off your leader do you keep re tying or could you just use a very small swivel? And would it be much of a difference if you did?
I just tie the leader with an albreit knot. Takes seconds to re-tie. I personally keep the rig as simple as possible. Just a hook and weight.
And what is the braided main line you use called?
I use Major Craft Dangan 6lb
I’ve looked at that braid, but have Diawa J braid x8 which is a thinner diameter, why do so many lrfers go with the dangram when it is a slightly larger diameter?
It all snags and snaps the same. I remember buying some 50 quid braid when I started. Cast no better. Same amount of snap offs. But hurt a lot more snapping off expensive braid. The amount I fish, I'm happy replacing dangan as its not the most expensive. Personal preference. Each to their own though
