Shore Fishing UK - Flounder and Bass Fishing in an Estuary

Shore fishing for Bass and Flounder is a British winter tradition. Finding some sheltered shore fishing in winter can really keep the love for angling alive during the dark and rainy months. Here I fish a new shore mark in an estuary targeting Flounder and Bass. I explain the rigs and baits I use and show how to unhook a deep hooked flatfish.
Here are links to some of the tackle I used in this video. I hope it helps.

This goes back to the basics of what I have said about fishing. Learn your watercraft and learn from every session. You will catch more fish. 👍🏻🎣

Hi John , I’m Dan from Redruth . Quick question, what estuary are u fishing at? I’d love to take my daughter there to give her first fishing session. Thanks dan

In the least can you let us know about the Mark. How many miles from the mouth of the river are you. Do you find estuary fishing most productive at certain times of year or states of tide. I fish the Tyne a bit here and there and have never been able to put my finger on best strategies. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Cheers John

Fishing the old car tomorrow, will start fishing at least once a week again as a mental health medicine, works like a charm, and I love the sound of the waves and the smell of pier. Been studying so much, came to the conclusion that I'll only buy the rod and line and the rest I'll make handmade, and I'm so excited for it

Just want to say thanks, watched a few of your flounder videos and change the hook size down to 6, added float beads and attractor beads and when out once on high tide and once on low tide and had 10 flounder over the two sessions all but 3 of them well over the limit size and very tasty. No eels, no crabs stealing my bait. Massive improvement on my normal efforts and al down to watching your videos so I will be back :-) keep up the good work and thanks for sharing.

I learn something from every video you put out. Last video I saw those "foam reels" with your tackle wound around it when you opend the tacklebox. Thought that was a gorgeous idea! This video I couldn't help but notice how much you pay attention to your setup (always checking back at the rods.) You could see it was the fish that was important and the camera is just also there. I also love how much patience you have with the bites. I, being an amateur, tries to set the hook every time the rod slightly vibrates. I guess I will have to change that. Love your channel. Happy new year and may your channel *way more* than just double this year. God bless.

That is one of the hardest things to develop in fishing. Is how to sit on your hands when you get an “interest” bite. Learning what different bites indicate. Some are just a fish finding and exploring the bait. Others are “FISH ON”!!! That’s a difficult thing to learn. 😊👍🏻

Tackle Tart! (I'm only jealous because all my effort is focused on moving to Devon/Somerset and when I get settled will be upgrading my tackle too). I love these estuary videos and hope in the near future to be copying your techniques for myself. Great upload, glad you went through the unhooking of flounder with a much clearer demonstration. Nicely filmed thanks for posting.

Like I said it’s difficult to film some things solo, but I hope it works. Good luck with the move and hope you get fishing soon mate. 👍🏻

Great video and nice location 👍 I was thinking of buying the green Penn rod but ended up with the blue, lovely rods to use.

Thank you for sharing your knowledge the way you do, I am learning so much. As I said once before, wish I was 50 years younger. Mud is one think I can’t handle.

Finally, after a hectic house move I managed to catch up with your videos. I'd been toying with some long forceps to turn the line through the gills and remove deep hooks the same way you do, but after seen you using the "hook tool" I'm going to definitely adopt the idea (hope you don't mind John :) ). It seems to be a much more friendly way to unhook deep set hooks and less stressful for the fish. Thanks for another great video and some great tips John.

Thank you for highlighting good hook removal techniques. Hook extraction tools should be in every anglers tackle box. Best wishes.

@TheFishLocker 2 жыл бұрын

It’s a very simple method for something that I know a lot of anglers have difficulty with. I hope the video helps. 😊👍🏻
