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. .

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.

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 😉 ❤

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 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.

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!

@ianlaccohee7180 2 жыл бұрын

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.

@jedfra9172 2 жыл бұрын

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.

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!

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 👍👍👍

@mikecurtis9617 2 жыл бұрын

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.
