Hi, it’s an Ugly Stik GX2, 12-20lb with a Penn Fathom 2-speed lever drag, 15 size👍

You’re right - too long and slippery for the bait table so I did have to fillet it on the deck. Good luck hunting the ling!👍🎣

Thank you very much, glad you’re enjoying the videos 👍🎣

They were, I’m very glad I caught the ling as mackerel are still scarce and using eating size fish for bait goes against the grain!🎣🎣

Thanks Andrew👍

Stunning island! I had 10 days on Ascension, had Jacks and Wahoo on a boat trip. Enjoy the kayaking 👍🎣

@fishingsalcombe amazing! We shore fished and had jacks and grouper. Several sharks, off the pier, but we lacked the right gear to properly target them. We will be going back again!

Very true John😊

Brilliant! Was it a keeper?

Had it for dinner tonight with the mackerel we caught! Very tasty.

Thanks mate, yes, ling are very good eating. Tight lines👍

Cheers bud👍

Thanks John👍

Thanks Dave, it was a day that had everything 👍

Always great to hear from you Stipo… your great day fishing will come my friend 👍👍

Loin and fillet were clean, I discarded the belly flaps 👍

Thanks Harry👍

Cheers buddy 👍

Yes mate, the hook hold wasn’t great and the mouth hold presented itself easier than a gill hold to swing it onboard but it bit through my glove and did draw a little blood. Worth it though!

Ahh… Tub are fantastic, they grow much bigger than reds and are amazing eating fish 👍

Thanks Jimmy 👍

Cheers mate, yes, very happy with the ling👍

Cheers bud🎣👍

Cheers Lee👍

Thanks David 👍

👍 just need weather and time🎣🎣

Well I thought I’d heard of most uses for mackerel but Tia Maria is a new one on me! 👍

thats an elaborate recipe for such a humble fish❤

Thanks bud👍🎣

Thanks Andrew, glad you enjoyed it!👍

Cheers Bri👍

Glad you are enjoying the videos! That wreck is a fair way out because bait fish have been scarce so to target bigger fish it’s been necessary to travel further to get to wrecks where there are year round resident pouting. Mackerel are now arriving closer inshore so the bigger fish will follow them and the closer wrecks and reefs will start to fish better. Good luck for your visit down here! 👍🎣

Cheers Keith 🤣👍

Thank you Stipo, great to hear from you and yes, I am! 👍👍

Yes mate, I also enjoy them smoked 👍👍

Absolutely!🎣🎣

Are you able to take a phone #call?

I can’t take a call, sorry, but message me on instagram 👍

Thanks mate 👍🎣

Hard to beat! 👍🎣

Thanks buddy 👍🎣

Cheers mate, never get tired of seeing dolphins on a trip out 👍

Thanks Andrew, I’ll give that some thought. I have a short section about preparing mackerel on this video if you’re interested, starting from about 34 minutes in: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/famFeNN9rcWlg6c.htmlsi=ysyLCa_doed5nrNo

Morning Robin, I’m away this weekend otherwise I would have been out! Tidal predictions for Salcombe are accurate. The difference between Salcombe and Kingsbridge has variable factors involved, neaps or springs, the amount of fresh water running, wind direction etc. If you’re going out or returning on a rising tide it’s less of an issue but if the tide is dropping you don’t want to end up on the mud! If you use the Salcombe times and use the window of 3 hours before high tide to 2.5hours after there will always be enough water in the channel with a bit of spare time just in case. Tight lines🎣🎣

Thankyou Rob - your a Gentleman 😀

Cheers Paul 👍

🤣 yes mate! Unfortunately the bigger fish live amongst and feed on the pout so catching them is inevitable 👍🎣

Happy to engage in reasoned debate so please watch this and get back to me: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/isuJaZhimdavgWQ.htmlsi=5pqCXLQr6lwRi1pn

Glad to help, have a great boating season 👍🎣🎣

@@fishingsalcombe Thanks! You too! Let me know if you’d be open to taking an apprentice fisherman with you one time 😄

Indeed! This one was just good bait size so hopefully I’ll turn it into something good to eat!👍

Ahh, that’s where all of the mackerel are 🤣 Glad you’re catching some and thanks for watching 👍🎣

Thanks Stipo, yes, the bass was delicious and went with the mackerel very well 👍😊

Thanks buddy👍🎣

Yes, I should have a measuring board that’s not so close to the edge 🤣👍

Cheers Gareth 👍🎣
