Hi Iain, that day I tried catching up with you and the lad after the catch unfortunately I couldn’t find you guys, I really want to thank you and the boy for helping me release the fish, really appreciate that, and yes that weather turned drastically! I walked back to my car absolutely soaking 😂 it was an absolute pleasure to meet you guys, hopefully I see you around the foreshore again, tightlines

We were having a cast in the bit with no fish, just before getting drenched:)

Hi David, totally agree with you, my friend Logan is always stressing this point to me

​​@@theanglingfrontwhen a fish runs the wet line held under your finger jerks, I've lost some good fish like that....

Well done! Lovely seatrout ,just need to hold that pressure on and get that slack line reeled up ,to easy to get taggled and broke . 👏👏

Thanks for the advice Jim, will do this next time 🤘🏻🎣

Thank you mate, not the biggest but definitely a PB for me on the fly, was absolutely over the moon 😁

@@theanglingfront it's such a different experience isn't it... stating the obvious but... casting into salt water with tidal movement, etc as compared to a river!

Hi Peter, really appreciate that mate thanks 🤘🏻🎣

Thanks Tom, really appreciate that mate

Thanks Mikey, really appreciate that! And what a buzz you get when you catch 😁

Thank you Dougie, really appreciate this 🤘🏻🎣

Thanks Stio, always appreciate your comments mate, it may not be the biggest but I am personally over the moon as that is my personal best sea trout on the fly, absolutely estatic!! Thanks for watching sir 🤘🏻🎣

Thanks Gordon, really appreciate this 🤘🏻🎣

Thank you Paul, really appreciate this comment mate the feeling was absolutely amazing, 😁

@@theanglingfront I'll bet it was! Good on ya 🎣

Thank you Doug, really appreciate this, and it gave my 7wt a good test 😂 and I agree tickers trout flies are absolutely mega, thanks for watching as always mate, hopefully fishing has been good for you mate now the winds are gently dying down

Thank you mate, really appreciate this 🤘🏻🎣

Thanks Mike, appreciate the advice too, as you said before, get it on the reel!! A bit advice said by many which I will incorporate into the next fish I catch by fly, 🤘🏻🎣

Thanks Nic, really appreciate it, and yeah hopefully get the boat out soon again

Thanks Iain, really appreciate that mate 🤘🏻🎣

Hi mate the feeling is surreal! As quite a few others mentioned it’s not the biggest sized sea trout but it was big enough to put a smile on my face that’s for sure and the fight on the fly rod was brilliant, really appreciate your comment 🎣

Thanks Mikey 🤘🏻

Thanks James really appreciate that 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🎣

Thanks Alex, really appreciate that! And yeah I really like his trout flies, there top class!!

Thank you Tony, really appreciate your comment, i would love a brownie of the calibre you had, that would amazing,

Thank you rob, appreciate that mate

Thank you mate, really appreciate that 🤘🏻🎣

Thank you Robert, really appreciated, the only thing I’d change is getting it on the reel but yeah I reckon it wasn’t far away from 4 pound, thanks for the kind comment 🤘🏻🎣

Thanks mate, really appreciate it, funny story with the line, when I walked the distance to the shoreline my car is parked maybe a mile away? And low and behold I didn’t have my 8 Pound Diawa sensor with me, instead it was 4 Pound kamasan, something that I could have regretted, thankfully it just stayed on, but your Totally right, 8 pound minimum and also agree with you getting it on the reel ASAP my friend Logan is always advising me to do this! Thanks for the advice mate, really appreciated

Thanks Ed, really appreciate that! And the run around was insane, best fight I’ve had on the fly rod in years 😁

Thank you Josh, really appreciated mate 🤘🏻🎣

Thank you very much mate, really appreciated, and best fight I have had on that fly rod so far, hoping for a few others like this 😁

Thanks mate, really appreciate that, hopefully you get a few this year, tightlines 🎣🤘🏻

Thanks Nico, really appreciate that, hopefully get to see you down the shore sometime this season,

@@theanglingfront That's the only downside of filming catches, all the winder inners will be heading that way and it will get busier.

Thanks Thomas, really appreciate it 🤘🏻🎣

Thanks for the tip Andrew, and thanks for the comment, really appreciate this 🎣🤘🏻

What an inspiring video, and well done on landing, and releasing that cracking fish. Now subscribed. Looking forward to more!

@@peternicholas4323 Thank you Peter, really appreciated mate, 🤘🏻🎣

Thanks Dave, really appreciate that, in hindsight I will get it on the reel next time! 🤘🏻🎣

and it has inspired me to get one caught in the salt. Once the wind stops, obviously.

@@davecosgrove8787 Thats awesome, and yeah I don’t mind fishing in the rain but the wind is absolutely horrendous, tightlines

Thanks Col, appreciate you

Thanks mate, really appreciate it mate

Yeah mark, was a great fight, might not be the biggest, but a PB for me on the fly, so was pretty happy 😁

Thanks rob, yeah I agree with you, definitely need to get into the habit of getting it on the reel, and I wil have a look at those nets, really appreciate the advice rob, thanks for commenting 🤘🏻🎣

Thank you very much Shaun, really appreciated, and I was astonished when I forgot to bring my 8 pound tippet with me that day! 4 pound is a bit sketchy, for salt water use 😂, thanks for commenting and hopefully the fishings has been good on your end 🤘🏻🎣

That’s awesome, thank you for the r comment, really appreciated, are you doing much fishing in Cali just now?

@@theanglingfront There is a huge lake about a mile from me called Chabot that holds large mouth bass , golden & rainbow trout, catfish and carp. Fished it in the past a little bit Michael but never landed anything they all got off. I will be doing some sea fishing though very shortly and hope to catch Leopard sharks, Stripper, and maybe Bat rays etc ! Keep you posted buddy. Just before I left for here, back home a huge Sea Bass followed my savage gear inline seeker right to my feet. Roughly in latitude I’m the same across the Irish Sea from you and it’s good to know they are moving up our coastline. Tight lines

@@gonefishingni that’s awesome, hopefully you get the fish the lakes mate, please let me know how you get on, tightlines

Awesome stuff, and thank you mate, was a great tester on the 7Wt fly rod 😁🤘🏻🎣

Thanks Paul, totally agree with you mate!! It’s a bad habit that I’ve picked up many years ago!

@@theanglingfront no worries, it must be a trout fishers thing as I used to do it as well until a ghillie on The Dee while I was playing a salmon gave me a right bollocking as I had line all round my waders with the bloody fish screaming up and down the pool!! I did somehow land it but he wasn’t impressed!!😂

Thanks Callum, really appreciate that

Thanks as always matey, really appreciate it, and it may not be the biggest Sea Trout but it’s a personal best for me, so pretty happy at that 😁🎣

@@theanglingfront it would be a PB for me too mate, absolute specimen of a sea trout

Thanks mate, really appreciate that, and I totally agree with you!

Thank you mate, really appreciate that, it was stunning to see the dorsal thin when I first managed to get eyes on it when bringing it in 😁

Thanks Pete, and I agree, the only thing I like about the net is that is small and light enough to carry when I’m moving across the shoreline, but yeah maybe a investment would be worth to get a longer handle, thanks for watching Peter

@@theanglingfront Hi Michael, just a suggestion, they do a similar net with a longer handle that you can still fix to the back of your coat with a magnet, cheers Peter.

@@peterlocke5204 Thanks for the advice Peter, I will have a look, much appreciated

@@theanglingfront Tight lines!!

Thanks Scott, really appreciate that, and yeah, what I thought may be a waste time turned out into being totally worth it 😃

@@theanglingfront happy days mate can't wait for more action from you..videos are cracking.. should see so.e good fishing soon once the weather picks up and heats up aswell

@@scottmckean4611 Really appreciate your feedback mate, and yeah, fingers crossed we don’t see those horrible winds again

Hi Ewan it is indeed mate 🤘🏻🎣

Hi James, this is a greys lance 7wt

Thanks Alistair really appreciate it mate

Hi Hugh, couldn’t agree anymore, hindsight is a wonderful asset! Definitely a learning curve, thanks for the compliment on the fish and advice 🤘🏻🎣

Hi mate this is a Greys Lance 7WT rod mate, this fight definitely tested it for sure 😁

Thanks Iain, appreciate that, and yeah good possibility 🤘🏻🎣

😂😂 No mate, i stupidly decided to bring it in without

Thanks Simon really appreciate the comment and advice 🤘🏻🎣

Thanks Johnny, really appreciate that my man 😁😁😁 🤘🏻🎣

@@theanglingfront Thank you my Man your pleasure was mine believe me 🔱🌹

@@theanglingfront Hey Fella do you ever go Fishing at the Dams? at Darnley? where, Lord Darnley used to live Queen Mary O Scots Husband-He used to put his rod up the rear of the Soldiers

@@johnnyboyo33 😂 😂 I have never fished it mate, had a google of it when I read your comment, looks like lovely bit of water, have you fished it at all Johnny

@@theanglingfront Me 🤣either-only place I've been fishing is Drumpellier Loch-Bishop Loch-Hogganfield Loch-Brodick Bay-it was waste a waste of time hiring the boat that day-never caught anything-even though reved the engine up to go right out the bay-that was the only fun part of it

That would be a shock to me mate 😂 maybe one day I will experience a double figure sea trout, would be absolutely amazing

Hi mate, yes it’s a slob trout! It’s not long been in the salt water from the river, I really like the colours on them personally and the fight was tremendous! Thanks for commenting really appreciated 🤘🏻🎣

😂😂 Thanks Nick really appreciate that, starting to think I should just duct tape a broom handle to it 😂😂

Yes mate, we call it slob trout also, love the colours on them,

Thanks mate, and I totally agree with you, I have a bad habit of bringing fish in without the reel, thanks for the advice mate 🤘🏻🎣

Thanks mate, and yeah your right, i panicked 😂

@@theanglingfront nah you did great - a lot would have lost it - did well to land that beauty on the light gear. GRATS!

@@5RustyBin Thanks man, appreciate your kind words, if I ever get into that situation again, I will 100% get it on the reel as soon as it’s hooked 🤘🏻

Hi Dom, I didn’t actually get a weigh of it, I reckon it’s close or just under 4 Pound maybe?

@@theanglingfront still an outstanding fish brother well done 🎣🎣

@@BigDom61 Thank you Dom, really appreciated, i stuck up a brilliant fight, hopefully I can get another one like this 😁

@@theanglingfront that could be a fish of a lifetime but you never know 👍👍

Thanks for the advice mate, thankfully the fish gods were in my favour that day 😁🤘🏻🎣

Thanks Ewan, really appreciate that, thanks for the advice also, 🤘🏻🎣

Cheer mate, most of the sea trout, pollock and wrasse I catch are all on 4-6 pound mono, never had a issue yet and had my biggest pollock of 6 pounds on Berkeley 4 pound mono a few years ago

Hi Les, yes you need to purchase an Estuary permit to fish for Sea trout at this location! However if you are targeting any other species that isn’t Sea trout you do not need to buy a permit, I take it you do alot of decent fishing in Australia mate?

Fair enough Robert! It was a big enough fish to put a smile on my face, that’s all that counts for me 😁 Thanks for commenting

😂😂😂 So true red, wasn’t sure if it was the rain or the dribble that was soaking my waders 😝 thanks for watching as always, hope the fishing as been good on your end bud

@@theanglingfront Its still to take off down here mate. Very slow going just now but as the weathers improves so will the fishing. I just need to get the time off to get out. Good up the good work.👍

Cheers AC really appreciate it 🤘🏻🎣

Appreciate the advice mate, normally where I fish the sea trout are usually relatively small, occasionally you will get the odd bigger one which is why I use that calibre of net and line.

Appreciate the advice mate, I personally don’t think it died after release, I let it rest submerged in the water before it shot away with energy, but that’s just my opinion mate

@theanglingfront no worries and also seen alot of fish swim away and turn up dead

🙄

@@mackienzie71843 That’s Fair enough Mackenzie, but I did try to fulfil the best handling practice that I possibly could, the fish stayed submerged in water the entire time, I agree with the line aspect and netting that you mentioned, the netting was below the standard I must admit! But I do honestly appreciate your advice, hindsight is a wonderful thing, it will improve my angling🤘🏻🎣

No Problem, thanks Phillip really appreciate the feedback 🤘🏻🎣

That’s what I like about fishing, always learning something new everyday 🐟

I do agree with you on that, I need to get into the habit of putting it on the reel, and yes mate it is, thanks for the advice mate, really appreciate it
