Thank you so much 😊, it was great fishing that day.

Wow, thank you! I have worked hard on my casting over the years. After being taught an over head thump by my dad, I spent much of the 80s casting in a field near my house with my mate, trying to see who could get the furthest! I still spend time practising down the beach. I used to avidly read Sea Angler articles on casting techniques and, from that, learnt OTG casting. I still haven’t definitively hit the magical 200 yards, with my best over grass being 186 yards. However on the beach I did four consecutive casts in the early 1990s where I emptied an Abu 6500 fully loaded with 0.35 line. No doubt in my mind those were the best four casts I ever did, using my Zziplex 2500m (felt the butt properly bend!) pendulum casting.

I do love catching those flatties David. Won’t be too much longer until it’s worth having a go for sole I reckon.

They should be around in numbers for a bit yet. The autumn run should be good when they’ve fattened up!

What an amazing place to have lived. Back in the days when there were more fish aboit too. I hope you have a lovely trip on 12th May.

Glad you like them! I do try to get plenty of info in there when I can, especially around why I am doing things they way I am doing them.

Glad you enjoyed it. Won’t be too long until the next one.

Thanks a ton! Plenty more to come.

Thanks for watching

Yeah it was a great day out. Thanks for watching.

Thanks 👍 Stephen. Super pleased you’re enjoying them.

Yes it was, thanks ☺️

Thanks 👍 glad you enjoyed it.

Thanks James 😃

They should still be there Nigel. Just need the right conditions for them. Makes a massive difference.

Absolutely. We all want to enjoy the beach although I think sometimes other beach users need a bit more educating about the dangers fishing can pose to them (eg swimmers who head out to sea right next to you risking getting tangled in your line). As for my casting I have worked on it lol. Even when I was 12 I’d be casting in the field over the road from where I grew up.

Welcome aboard! And thanks for watching 😃

Plenty came out, and a few good enough to take home 😃

You got that right! 😂😂

Thank you! Will do!

Thank you 😁

Thanks.

I pop them in the bucket first for two reasons. They get a bit of recovery time before I take them back out of water to get the hook out. Also, I can get my next baits out in the water more quickly, thus putting more fish on the beach. You'll see this method used in a lot of catch and release matches. I hope that helps! Also May rot is an algae bloom that occurs roughly through May each year. It sticks to the line and makes the water thick. Consequently, the tidal pull is much increased making it harder to hold bottom and heavy reeling in. Thanks for watching and the sub - most appreciated, and super pleased you enjoyed the video.

Glad you enjoyed it! Super pleased to hear you found it informative as that’s one of my goals with the videos.

Thanks for your lovely feedback. I used to lecture at Uni so I got used to explaining what I was doing it whilst I did it! Must’ve rubbed off on to my fishing lol. I try to think about want people might learn from watching my videos and get some of that across. So great to hear your kind words Buck Rogers 😍. As for the reels, the noisy one has dry ceramics in it. But to be fair they are quite well used now… 🤪😄

@@ClickBaitGem Your Videos are a joy to watch from start to end as many i skip forward on them but watched all of yours so you must be doing something right! Way too many just think about im making content rather than whats actually in it and forget about people watching want to know more "Rather than Hey i'm here(Yes we know your here!)then might show you some bits then miss the most important parts out esp like what rigs your using/tackle/rods/reels and so on plus tips. Plus say with likes of plaicing there's unhooking tricks many don't know which also saves unwanted fish kills! as they do like to scoff!. Leads you find better as often want a slow trundle in tide.placing rod rest so shows bites best.And so much more. Myself i design and make rigs along with many tripod mods inc a triple head that is remote so fixes to uses one wing nut n bolt rather than more bits and left with plain middle leg when packed away. Created my version of Bagnall bars on heavy mono with a plain swivel on main line instead of cascade so can fish heavy! and others made wishbone all tucked in streamlined.

Totally. And it’s important we as anglers try to protect the fish we have left! Down to every last whiting. After all they are food for other species at the end of the day and part of the eco system.

Thank you kindly.

That would be cool! In fact, he has recently been up here 😉. No doubt you’ll see me pop up on his channel soon.

Thank you kindly.

Thanks.

Sorry to hear that Rob. At least you’ve got plans for when you’re back in action. Plenty of KZfaq videos to watch in the meantime 😉

Yeah they’ve started biting off my hooks. The pests! 🤪🤪 🕷️🦀

Nice fish, 42cm. I do like using up and over rigs also, totally agree that they can work well! I had my best plaice down Seaford a few years back on a 1 hook up and over rig. Came in at 48cm. The last two years I have not found the plaice fishing quite so good down Seaford as it was previously.

Great stuff. Plaice are such lovely fish to catch.

Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for your lovely comment. 😃

They should be about although I’ve been told the May rot is bad today. Just remember to cast as far as you can - they are at distance.

@ClickBaitGem thanks for the response. I'll try my luck anyway casting as far out i can! Never caught one before. You've spread some inspiration 🤞🏾

Good luck. I hope you get your plaice.

There is on street parking.

Well we all like different foods 😋 and to me fish is 🤢. I wish I did like eating it. But plenty of people around me who will enjoy it 😃.

In this video I am using a Diawa 7HT mag and a Tronixpro Banzai Monomag. Both lovely reels. I've also got Penn fathom 15s that I use for heavier work.

@@ClickBaitGem yes the Penn 15 Fathoms are good l use them here in Shetland

I was surprised to see you hadn't unhooked the 2 plaice before putting them in the bucket of water.
