Love the novice perspective. Looking to buy a SIB in the next six months. So much to learn!

hi Budgie ; i spent a few years going out from baiter point in the 1990s and fishing etc , in my 18 foot fletcher cruisette and rebuilt 85hp suzuki [ i still ave it parked up out the back] . under the cardinal bouy near the jetty at brownsea isl has a few fish sometimes if you troll round it but i usually got them from the side closest to the land . there is a beautifull beach to moor up and go on just round the corner to the left of the jetty about 100m away , crystal clear water and gets the sun for most of the day , they allways had a box there which you put a fiver in to anchor up and use the beach , although if you belong to national trust you can anchor up and go on beach for free . as for big mackerel , they are in the deeper water past swanage , just go past swanage and look for the "mile markers" on the cliffs , fish up and down along that bit of coastline [ durlston bay] almost to hengitsbury head , youll see the area of a long strip of big boulders running down the cliff side . i think it was around 65 feet depth there , you need to be a good couple of miles out or so ie you can see boats by cliffs but not see whose in them . silver and red shiny feathers worked for me . for flounder and dabs when tide is up we used to fish off the wall on the shore road B3369 near lilliput pier , there is a large concrete pad in the sand not too far out , to the left of the pier and sailing club , we also walked out in the water in summer and could catch the odd bass on a spinner . good luck with your trips out . ps i was rescued once by the swanage lifeboat when i lost all power after my engine seized and my donkey engine wouldnt push me against the tide , those lads on that lifeboat came hairing out around the point , jumping the waves , did all they could to assist me , great bunch of people in swanage including the fella hiring out the boats who helped me too , also i had no charge from the fellas on the slipway to pull my boat out , suffice to say i donated some funds though . great watching youre films and seeing the funny bits , very interesting indeed and also entertaining not to mention seeing the waters eye view of the places i passed over myself that you also go to . cheers ian

Another great video and fond memories made! Good times👌

Great video Budgee really enjoyed it. Taking my SIB out for fist time in a couple of weeks and am looking forward to some adventures like yours with my 2 boys.

Just a tip, give your outboard a run the day before you go out and when it’s running just pull the kill cord. The carb will be primed ready for your trip and should start 1st pull

Never seen a bigger fish in all my life haha! You pair do make me laugh tho! Good fun!

Love the bond between you 2 man its amazing good videos you 2 keep them up hopefully we can have a dodge down south in our motorhome and bring my sib and have a look out and a laugh some time mate

Hiya Budgee. Looks like you enjoyed your first trip out this year. Fish are always thin on the ground this early in the year unless you go further out. You will certainly catch on the lures in time or as in the comments try some bait. Enjoyed the video 👍👍👍👍

Mate loved this . This is what fishing with your kids is all about . Bring your sib to Eastbourne mate we’re go out.

nice vid gents

Shame no success with the fishing but nice to get out on the boat. And a lovely spot. Great video top editing. Looking forward to more

You need to post this for boat world. I could not find anything apart from a 30s clip

nice boat and landscape !

Great job master 👏 🙌 👍

I would talk to your local fishing shop, they will help you with local marks to fish. They want you succeed as it means you will be a repeat customer. 95% of the fish are in 5% of the sea. Also the parking apps are fantastic , takes 20 secs to pay once set up :)

Great lads bit early for the mackerel guys try getting some rag worm and try a running ledger rig then you can fish with out trolling

Great stuff biker budgee mite see you in june if you down there

Hi lads great video the fuel should be okay for about 8 months

Great video try worm 🪱 tip it with a little strip of squid 🐙 drop it down and wait 🎣🌊🐟😎👍🏻

I try to catch a fish and have only once caught a bass and a few crabs but I still like trying I use frozen squid from the tackle shop. Never tried lures. Harley is getting bigger you will soon need a bigger boat

Don’t beat yourself up. Fishing in the uk is hard work nowadays. Would try a small piece of frozen prawn, squid or mackerel on the feathers next time.

Put fuel stabiliser in your tank if will last a year.

When ever your down in poole next I wouldn’t mind meeting up so you can give us a few tips, as I haven’t taken my Boatworld 330 air v out yet and it arrived back in November.

Nice video-and trip👍.Have you caught Any fish after this was recorded?..

Mate just a tip on your fishing stick to the fish an chip shop,😅

Nice video mate, 1 more subscriber added :)

Where did you launch from looks like a good place wouldn't mind going from there when weather gets bit warmer

Mate you need a new impeller get a change before the engine overheats mate 👍👍👍👍

Hi there. Can you put the link for the wheels plz? trying to figure out the right name. ty adv

Great videos. Very helpful. Just started my journey with a SIB and learning lots from you. Question, the large blue sheet that you inflate the SIB on in the car park...where did you get this!

Hi biker budgee, do you mind me asking what the length of your shaft is on your 15 hp outboard as I have a 2004 8 hp and been told that it’s 18” and will be to deep in the water.

Have you tried getting out in the deep with the wheels down and then trying to do them whilst you're in the boat? Saves the lifting although was a bit of a pain on mine as the air in the wheels float up in the opposite direction so you do have to fight against that :-)

Where are you launching from here?

What size of outboard is that

Little tip put a small length of waste pipe fixed inside the boat at the corner of the transom as a rod holder works well Also buy sone cheap waders from Amazon. Also there is a lot of nonsense talked about old fuel I have some that is 4 years old in old 2 strokes and that runs them fine. As you said how are you supposed to get rid of it

Hiya Budgie where did you get the rubber Skeg protector for your outboard

What boat is that bud? I just ordered the 280 sld. This looks similar but engine size says no.

I noticed you went swimming on one video.. How do you get back in the boat?

The paddle tails are fine no need to go heavy but don't trawl them cast and retrieve but let them sink down once u cast them the slow retrieve stop let it sink then retrieve and so on or jig vertical straight down but in a sib probably better casting away from the boat your get a half decent cast off a 15g soft plastic lure just experiment with cast and retrieve iv never been a fan of trawling! Also you gotta get decent lures with a good action look for one called fish black minow or anything by savage gear the do sandeal imation soft plastics! And mackerel fathers again cast and retrieve but alternate with speed and stop start etc
