Thank you, very much appreciated. 🎣👍🏻

@@JedBewick-ro6qy thank you, very much appreciated.

@@jamessibley6040 yes it was.

@@DerekThomas-Davies-rb4gl sorry but I don’t sell rigs, I hardly have the time to make my own sometimes. 😂

Am disabled and fish around west wales the video you posted shows a number of rigs am interested in We have lots of hounds

Bass flats etc the one up and down look the part

@@seaangling I understand that’s keep the good work up m8

@@DerekThomas-Davies-rb4gl I like to use a short pulley or the up and over for hounds.

@@multirickus thank you. Very much appreciated.

@@jefferyhiggins5458 cheers buddy.

Thank you, love the way the rods interact. Show the smallest of bites but handle big fish.

I’ve had the most hounds on chunks of squid closely followed by hard back crab. Ragworm was edging my bets but paid off. 🦈🎣👍🏻

I’ll have to put a new set of scales on my Christmas list.

Difficult filming this one purely because of the light. The best part is always meeting new people with similar interests, glad you enjoyed it. 🦈🎣👍🏻

That is why I fish there. 😉🦈🎣👍🏻

It doesn’t have to be fancy but it does take more than one visit sometimes. I’ll be doing another hound video soon right back to basics and using hard back crab which is possibly one of the easiest baits to collect. 🦈🎣👍🏻

I had to go back and have another go as I didn’t do so well the night I saw you. That spot does seem to hold fish. 🦈🎣👍🏻

Don't blame you I couldn't make it back so going to wait till the tides get better. It is a good little spot gets them coming in and out 🎣🐟

My apologies Steve, a month without uploading feels like a long time. I fished this mark 2 days previously and couldn’t get past the weed, persistence paid off. 🦈🎣👍🏻

Cheers Rick, nice to hear from you. The Solent does seem to hold a good population of hounds that are of a decent size. The British shore record came from the Meon area. I must admit that lighting was an issue on this session which I am trying to sort out. Take care. 🦈🎣👍🏻

Thank you Chris, these were particularly feisty and fighting fit. 🦈🎣👍🏻

For clean ground I prefer the fathom SD 12’s and I’ve gone down in line diameter to ASSO ultra-cast 14lb. When I do use the CS’s I have them loaded up with 20lb mainline but not as often. I did take them to Norway where they worked really well.

Drop me a message the week before you visit this way and I’ll see what I can do with work. Hoping for some settled weather and for this wind to do one.

Will do mate does make it hard when it is howling up or along the beach weather is settled during work hours and picks up when you are off nightmare

This was the Beulieu estate at Park Shore.

Always nice to get a PB but also just as good to hit your target. The running paternoster worked well when the weed was running. 🎣👍🏻

Cheers Dave, it’s been a bit slow recently but I have been absorbed chasing a specific type of fish. 🦈🎣👍🏻

Cheers Paul. Are you due a trip to Wales for the Tope any time soon?

Not really thought about it Mark. Its finding the time due to work.

There are bigger out there but you have to put the time in. Any size they always give a good account of themselves.

When distance isn’t important and the tide is running loaded with weed, it does seem to work. At HW slack the pulleys had the edge.

Hill head and Meon are fishing well, Hamble less so. Spider peeler is a killer bait as they are inshore and moulting atm. This session was Park Shore as Meon was packed wall to wall with anglers. I believe there was an 18lb caught recently in the area. 😉

Also @paulapaula2011 congratulations on a top session. I bet those reels were screaming and rod tips bouncing. 🦈🎣👍🏻

Cheers Charlie 🎣👍🏻

Thank you Alonzo, hope it helps. 🎣👍🏻

You are very welcome. I have started doing species specific films that I will build on over time. My hope is they will help others that have specific targets or are fishing a location that holds a certain type of fish. 👍🏻🎣

?

They are made by TronixPro so their website and I think Veals stock them. 👍🏻

We have depleted stocks of sand eel along the south coast but they can be a very effective bait. I did have 3 blondes to the boat in 15 minutes on sand eel.

Glad you enjoyed it Dave, it can be a cracking mark to fish. 🎣👍🏻

These persistent and reoccurring storms have been horrible. Glad you got your engine sorted. There have been a lot of small eye about recently. 🎣👍🏻

We all hope don’t we? We all put the time in. We all prep our kit. We all watch the weather and plan the tides. And sometimes we get lucky 😂

Nice when they are that busy. 🎣👍🏻

It was a busy session and a welcome relief compared to the doldrums we’ve had recently. Plenty planned for this year 😉🎣👍🏻

If you are considering the casting specials it would be worth also checking out the fathom 12 SD’s. I cast further with those than I do the CS’s.

I will be doing some variations on these videos this year and will include some fixed reel films to help those starting out. Tight lines 🎣👍🏻

Cheers Steve, I hope you are well. 🎣👍🏻

Let’s hope the hounds are inshore soon, can’t wait. 😜🦈🎣👍🏻

All of the car parks are right on the beach front but there is also on street parking if you don’t want to pay. Just means a slightly longer walk. Free parking at Milford and combination car park/on street for Hordle - Barton.

Thanks very much.

You are very welcome Jim. My only goal is to share what I do and help others as I’ve been helped. What area/location are you fishing?

@@seaangling I’m originally from a small west coast village some have heard of called Lochaline, but now based down in the central belt outside Glasgow. Hoping to fish the Clyde and sound of mull when I’m up home.

@@Teuchter-Jim I lived in Glasgow for a couple of years and my first common skate from the shore was caught at Lochaline.

@@seaangling growing up there I always had access to boats, other than spinning from the pier never really shore fished, no boats now so I’ve got to adapt.

I think the sand eel is overlooked by some but they are an amazing bait over sand or light shingle. I have had some amazing results off the boat with them as well. Cheap and easy to store/carry but their numbers are in decline and they are not always easy to get good ones. I’ve been told there are huge ships out there harvesting them in massive numbers. 🤷‍♂️
