Reminds me of back in 70's and 80's fishing the deep lochs in west Scotland for big cod from the shore. You would cast a good distance, the the line from the rod tip was pointing just below the rod a couple of yards out. Excellent session Billy, take care pall.

The video for loading your multiplier is 4 strand with an eight strand bottom shot the bottom shot is unnecessary foremost fishing. If you are power casting you need a shock leader, I've explained in how to setup your multiplier mono is no good. You need a braid leader for fishing with bread, otherwise you'll get wind nuts. If your casting technique is good the multiplier will cast much further. Does your multiplier have magnetic brakes. If it does, you should adjust them and it will help with the distance.

March to April the fisher there, and then back out to see. It's pretty hard fishing though, you will need a cast of at least 120 to 150 meters. With a big bait. Also you should know, most of the fish will die. Because of the depth of water. So they have to be taken for the table. The flash is not very good because they have just spawned, they will no feed be for spawning. If you are just there for a couple of days it is unlikely that you will catch anything, from the shore. Thanks Brother 👍😁

Hi Craig, I never fished in Oslo, and I never hear of good fishing there. But there must be some codling and Polack around off the rocks, further South. Best of luck Brother 👍😁

Hi Mitsos, yes. The outer Islands are the best place to fish mostly. With surf rods and jigs, accept in the spring when the cod come into the centre of Ålesund. Out on the lslannds there are flatfish, cod and rays. Hope this helps out, see you on the beach 👍😁

Nice cod man! My weekend fishing was a disaster. Strong winds and 4m-5m waves crashing onto the beach. Not funny :-( Maybe go looking for some zander in the damn today. Question Billy... Not into offset circle hooks? Why?

@Billyfishing_watch 2 жыл бұрын

Thanks brother. The offset hooks, my reason for using circle hooks is purely conservation and offset circle is more indiscriminate then a inline circle and defeats the purpose of using circle hooks. Best of luck with the zander. Fish on👍😁

@akwamarsunzal 2 жыл бұрын

@@Billyfishing_watch Nice one Billy. I could not get inline circle hooks at my locak tackle shop. The ones I picked up have a very slight offset, still waiting to try them 😞 Ha, if I don´t get any zander maybe I should be able to get enough signal crayfish for dinner 🙂

I understand and respect your decision to cease fishing beyond a certain point to avoid harming fish, but it's an approach inconsistent with using a fish to provide 1 or 2 baits. If you care about not hurting sentient creatures, but you love fishing, you have to use flys or artificial lures. Here in North Devon I don't catch much in the sea using those methods, probably because I can't be bothered to go further than Come Martin harbour and I'm shit, which has led me to pretty much giving up fishing. That's a great shame because I love fishing but I can't get past the fact that I don't want to kill just for my pleasure. A real dilemma for anglers.

@Billyfishing_watch 6 ай бұрын

Hi brother. I feel the same way as you in actual fact. But sometimes the circumstances get the better of you! Originally I intended to keep the fish and eat them, but not having caught a post spawn cod before I did not realize that their flesh was not really good. And that was the last video I shot in that area! Thanks Brother 😁👌
