50 years ago I came down that ladder to fish. Didn't catch owt, almost got cut off by the tide, great memory's 😊

Ayup Pal.Shame you blanked The brigg usualy throws something up,nice vid tho very 'down to earth' comentary :) . A wee safety tip for ya tho,,when accending or decending any ladders DO NOT hold the sides,if you lose your footing you will have no way of holding on , you will just slide down and rip your hands up ,,ALWAYS grab the rungs and you will be able to hold on in the event of any probs ..Take care buddy and tight lines.

Nice vid, reminds me of when I fished it only once ever 12 years back on hols. Amazing looking place, couldn't fail on lures. Bit more lively sea but not much more then a 3ft sea trout jumped in casting range after hrs of nothing. Same result as you after that moment of excitement. That green slippery death weed grows where fresh water outlets hit it, many times on my arse with tackle box emptied across the rocks as a kid ;-) thanks for posting!

I feel your pain! Every rung of that ladder!! Good on you for both sharing your fear and confronting it. .... I feel sick 🤢

Well done Alex. I know how much it took for you to use the Ladders.proud of you Dad. x

Good honest video. We all have days like these, it is what fishing is all about

Great vid,and great commentary keep them coming.

Really enjoyed that video. Fascinating scenery, even if the fishing was a bucket of crap. That's the kind of place I'd check out myself. Try it again on a cooler overcast day.

I enjoyed that! Especially the commentary on the ladder. I have hooked a seagull on a lure before, it dived and took it as i cast, was fun playing it and unhooking it.

Shame that mate. Looks like it would of been an unreal spot back in the day. Blanking in a place like that shows you how knackered our coastline is

At last . A KZfaq video showing blanks like most of my trips round uk shores .

Your a braver man than me climbing down that ladder. I had to fast forward the video!!!

Well done Mate with the Ladders. Be Proud.

Ha Ha, Yes Yes Yes! As I mentioned in another comment I am a climbing instructor. I've worked with military, in film, with SEN, one time dignitry; and even Royalty. What you did was; to experience, feel an understanding of risk (assess).... Accept and move on. Look back and recalibrate. Let it calm, take an alternate perspective. Challenge your previous acceptance... and try again. Self Talk is another pre-frontal cortex signal, it helps calm the reptilian 'Back Brain' from holding us in a Full Body Handcuff' (the wobbly knees etc), so well done on that. Respect mate. You did it. If ever you're near The Reach Climbing Wall, Woolwich... feel free to look me up. I'll set you up with a freebe, help you gain even more 'self confidence'. Some Thames fishing too; if you fancy... (and gotta admit, only caught an eel, my 'Bug Out' set up is light and seldom). Just a little bit further. m out

looks amazing at filey might give it a go myself

cracking video you got some balls m8 lovely place well done

I'm 68 year old woman and have been up and down ladder a few times and it scared the life out of me so won't be doing it again - but I said that the last time and the time before that and it's definitely better than the wobbly boulders!!

My local fishing area , the ladders are ok just take it easy fish slightly left of the ladders green rock good place

All the best adventures start with 'ahhh fuck it' 😂

Great to see your vid and confirmation that the ladder is still there, I think there used to be 2 next to each other, one dodgy, one less so. Was last there about 25 years ago and we caught mackerel on feathers and pollock, coalfish and wrasse on lugworm. Would love to return, such a great spot!

Looks a good mark for it, sure you'll get one next time stay safe

Subbed cause ya smashed that ladder in lad💪

Another fab video shame you blanked, I'm like yourself not keen on heights and I would be bricking it on the ladder. Myself and my m8 want to bait fish the Brigg but I would take the long walk round which for me is safer, only way I would go down the ladder is wearing an harness with a carabiner on it then I know I couldn't fall may sound daft but I like my feet on firm ground 👍

love your video's amigo, we do the same thing! keep up the amazing work!

I've never really suffered badly from heights.. but then I got tinnitus.. and now I get vertical and I was recently walking on saltburn pier in nearly had to crawl off it. Salt lamp peers not even high but if you have suffered from tinnitus and vertigo then you know how distressing it can be. My point being, I know exactly how you felt walking down those ladders.. the only way you conquer your fear of heights is to just defeat it. It takes a lot of courage to do something your body is telling you not to do... Only just subscribe to the channel and I'm enjoy it.. I will be staying around. This is my normal KZfaq but I also have a fishing KZfaq that I've just started myself.. I won't plug it. I used to fish a lot when I was a teenager now I'm nearly 50 and just got back into lure and spinner fishing and I absolutely go mad for it but I have forgotten more than I ever knew about fishing.. yes, that is possible😂 fishing is relaxing it's why I do it even if I blank out on fishing.... I'm still out there with nature and that's all that matters. I do a lot of sea fishing and a lot of river fishing in Yorkshire North Yorkshire and the lake District . Keep up the good work and I am sure your channel will grow. I will be sticking around.

Good effort, got to be in it to win it don't forget,that box of soft plastics tho,looked more like sweets than lures,need to go with more natural colours,sandeely, with a few white and candy ones mixed in,also silver spools and minnows good luck,tight lines

Hi mate, the plastics looks spot on, you have a nice range of colours. Bright days bright colours, dull days dull colours. I know that sounds backwards but it’s true. Once you’ve casted let the lure hit the bottom and work it as close to the bottom as possible, snags are few and far between of that hook is nicked into the back of the lure. But I’d strongly recommend letting it hit the bottom first before starting to reel. All the best for next time mate. And well done on those ladders, I feel your pain, I’m the same 🤣

55 years since I fished the brigg and climbed the ladder that was there at the time. Keep the swearing in it showed how frightened of heights you were makes it authentic

A small, diving Rapala is as good as owt' - I've done Mexico, Jamaica, Fuerteventura & a few more & caught quite a few on these.

Good on ya for doing the ladder! There is not a cat in hells chance of me doing that, not no way, no how!

good lad.......well done on the ladder

Yep I've looked at similar to those ladders and the corrosion 30 years ago and said NO

😂😂fuck me that ladder part made me chuckle! I’d be exactly the same

Ever tried Anglesey, or Holyhead.Get Gulf Streaming.Tried to get my buddy into it as he is local, but he's reluctant.. Got a gammy leg. They've got some beasties. And they're Welsh! Best regards.

Invest in some fiiish black minnows, megabass spindleworms, evo bass sabre, top water lures like patchinko, chappy 100 and loads of others like sub surface shallow divers. The fiiish black minnows have a wonderfull wobble motion that makes it irresistible for bass 👍

Always hold the rungs when on savladder,if you slip it’s easier to hold the rungs as opposed to the sides 👍👍🎣🎣

That ladder!

I might have a go there myself don’t fancy that ladder much though 👀😭

Looks like the famous Black Hole mate unless I'm mistaken. Problem with lure fishing is that the pollack and mackerel are either there or not. I always had a float rod on the go, as well as the lures, with mussels as bait for the wrasse. Had some big ones. 4 or 5lb. And little pollack. But never blanked....except with the lure rod or when I used mackerel strip. I was broken by something huge once. Maybe a conger.

Just stick with the soft plastics, try smaller lures , I've caught big Pollock on small lures , I make my own plastic lures so I can size them smaller and to suit smaller hooks , try half a plastic worm on a smaller hook or jig head , but it always helps to have a few spinners 😂

Omg mate honestly about 15 year ago i got caught out by the tide and couldn't walk back round and the only way back up was the ladder i was shaking like a shitting dog going up that ladder i was only 10 or something i was with my dad and his friend

Great video lots of interesting points for a new y lure fisherman. Can I ask how do you look after your lutes . After use I keep mine out of the storage box until fully dry but still the hooks rust badly ! What am I doing wrong . Cheers

Great video! I’m heading down here for a holiday tomorrow- any advice??

Lovely spot!!!do you fishing with lure from long time?because you're little rusty!!Good job!!

Chuck them metals out and let them sink and then slowly retrieve it works for me and you will catch on the drop also even before you start to reel in..my fav weight is 30g silver lure on a bright day...tight lines

Take a rope lower bag/fishing gear down.then decend ladder same again when you leave...keeps your hands free ...😉

Pmsl . Just been up that ladder an hour ago , the wind and rain thrashing at my back 😳 arse was twitching a bit 🤣.

I fished filey brigg a few weeks ago diddnt catch owt stood looking up the ladder for 10 mins but couldnt bring myself to go up it 🤣

I like the locations on your videos but do you ever catch any fish 😂

Used to be 40lb cod come off their

Well, seems that I am as good as you.... A box full of soft plastics that never catch anything LOL Think I would have been tempted to try a sandeel type lure as there were so many around that mark but then, well, I still would have blanked LOL

I'm not trying to be funny but if it's bright enough to wear sunglasses it's too bright for Bass.
