It has been a beautiful few days hasnt it. 😊👍🏻🎣

Every day is a school day mate. 😊👍🏻

Thanks Nick. 😊👍🏻

Thank you.

My pleasure

The reason is baitcaster are practically spinning gear. So I fish it like I would a fixed spool.

Nice weather for it 😊👍🏻

However works for you. 😊👍🏻🎣

That’s usually a good time to go to the shed to check the fishing gear. 😉

Mother in law song I wrote many years ago contained the line… 🎵If she’s sarcastic or bombastic rub some chilli on her knicker elastic…. 🎵 😀😀

The shed is a great panic room to escape.🤣🤣🤣🤣

Get 2 big dogs keeps mine away

@@bobhope3817 We actually didn't need the dogs, our other lil' cutie "pets" put in a surprise appearance as my misses was showing sister-in-law our lovely garden. Sister-in-law never moved so fast in her entire life and nearly took me out as she ran past in her blind panicked state! And to think, I've been putting down poison for them. Yep, sister-in-law is scared of dogs, paddling in the sea as there might be fish near her, doesn't like sand between her toes, terrified of heights, crowds, small spaces, strong wind, thunder and lightening, and all and any insects. Oh, and rats. She is absolutely, definitely, resolutely, petrified of rats. Rats who adore our dry stone wall surrounded garden and the abundant bird food which falls from our numerous bird feeders. Mind you, the misses did say the wee fellow who put in an appearance looked like a cross between a rat and a pit bull! 😆 😅 😂 🤣

It’s not hard to see why we love it is it? 😊💙

We had a blast!!!

It is our pleasure Ian. Have a good one bud. 👍🏻🎣

Thanks bud.

It really was.

Thank you.

It certainly was.

Thank you sir.

The weather is wonderful at the minute isn’t it. 😊👍🏻

Thanks mate. 👍🏻🎣

It was a beautiful fish wasnt it!!

I hope you enjoy joining us Andy.

Pollack* 😉

On a good day it’s hard to beat. 😉🎣

We all start out knowing nothing mate. Every day is a school day. 😊👍🏻

And he couldn't wish for a better person to teach him how to do it right......... ❤

I hope you all have a wonderful time.

Best wishes to you and your good lady mate.

Thanks mate. Aye he was being a real nuisance.

Thank you John.

I am glad the videos have helped you mate. 😊👍🏻

I am aware of it Jon, it is a case that I reference when I talk to people about the U.K. problem.

Just another ecological conundrum that man is ill-equipped to handle.

Unintended consequences.

A flat day and a good run like that is fun. Here we get 150ft within 1 mile here

It’s so shallow here in the gulf, but we do have a nice fishery.

We had a good day. 😊👍🏻

Cheers bud. 😊👍🏻

Cheers bud.

Very frustrating

Yeah. A lot has to be said for the angler too. 😉🤣

Thanks Henry.

Lessons were learned. 😊👍🏻

😊🎣

We all start out knowing nothing. 😉👍🏻

He’ll get the next one. 😊🎣

They do that when there isn’t sufficient food for them inshore in their usual area.

Yeah I’m not a novice at this but considering how much bait fish and larger prey you guys were hauling out it’s a surprise that’s all strange behaviour

Stunner of a day wasn’t it.

@@TheFishLocker amazing, the jealousy has bought tears to my eyes

It’s been stunning lately hasn’t it mate.

Thanks mate.

Yes

Like specks of dust

If you think I was advocating Salmon farms you missed the point.

@@TheFishLocker I didn't you would for a minute. Apologies for any potential offence, you're way to eco conscious to approve of that carry on.

It truly is amazing how far marine electronics have advanced isn’t it!!

@@TheFishLocker Yep certainly is John, a weekly trip down memory lane for me here in the South of France, heres to next week with local wine...!

Forgot to mention, back then Rodney Bewes used to join us...useless git, he had a place in Cadgwith..;

If we aren’t going to cull them we need to stop taking in sick starving ones and releasing them.

@@TheFishLocker totally agree let nature take its course

I’ll decide. 🤣

That’s a fair plan to do it mate. Good on you both for getting out there.

@@TheFishLocker inspired by yourself mate, thank you 👍

Agreed

Some are.

Best thing to do is look in the catch and cook playlist. 😉

I have some, but find in the kelp they are a little too expensive to lose. 🤣

@@TheFishLocker I've found them great for benthic species, but not so good for the pollock and bass (although I have had both on them). I keep them in the bottom 6 feet, wait for the tip to show you the bite, let it develop (they're eating up the trailer!) and simply load the rod - no need to strike. The small assists do a remarkable job! I'm sure if I drop one on a John Dory it'll inhale it!

@@HCH9990 - I agree. I have fished them with great effect in areas where rock meets sand or in deeper water to avoid the kelp.

Yes. Our coastline has many.

Haha. It does land the good ones too though.

I have caught them and they are very similar

😊👍🏻

Let me know what you think about the problem we had on the wrecks 😉

@@TheFishLocker I'll do that and in return, let you know the trouble I had with some scouse smooth hound. Give you a clue - they look like tiny plaice.

We are simply sharing what we know and love doing. 😊👍🏻

😊👍🏻

We had steamed for 20 miles to get to the wreck.

@@TheFishLocker Hehe, that would put me halfway to Denmark, i aint doing that in a 15", 20hp 2-stroke😂 5-6NM brings me outside of the last rocks and on to the open sea. BTW i looked it up, we have something like 20k common seals on the west coast, British isles have some where about 35k, mostly up north. (sound like im trying to start a competition, but im not)
