Thanks for sharing again!

Thank you fella. Whenever I look at fishing vids, and come across yours it's always a real treat. I'm a total novice; two months fishing now, and live by the sea in South Wales, where all the regular guys seem to feel the need to cast out to the end of the world, with expensive gear, and huge baits. I always enjoy talking to them, and they're always very generous, and encouraging, but they seem to 'blank', (a term I've learned) more often than catch. I much prefer, and employ, your approach, as in fishing small, and catching more, using a wider variety of methods, and fishing for the sport. Thanks again, and keep 'em coming. Ray

Thanks for the great tips!

using a towel wipes off protective slim from the fish causing less protection from disease .

Haven't seen a Rockling in ages, great video.

Hi Gary, down here in Jersey I always use another rubber band ( or floatstop) between the bottom bead and the swivel, so if the line breaks at the swivel, you get your float and weight back. I now use floatstops more than rubber bands as when fishing at depth they go through the rod rings easier. keep up the good work, Tight lines!

Excellent video I really like your easy going style it makes watching a pleasure, down in Dorset were I regularly rock fish we catch lots of wrasse (Ballan) my pb is nearly 5 lb on slipper limpet tipped with a rag worm tail, but I've never caught a cod or codling from the rocks. How big do they get were you fish off of Whitburn ledges?

@fishingintheukgarywood

Thanks, Cod season is just starting up here the biggest I've heard of being caught from around Whitburn ledges is 5 to 6 lb.

Think it's the towel people dislike. I do. There's no need, it harms the fish unnecessarily. Wipe the slime off your hands with a towel, not off the fish!

That was a nice eel mate, I see it slimed you up to the elbow, if you grab them with newspaper they go all still and you can get your hook out (slime free)

Nice video mate. I have recently moved down to the coast and just started sea fishing. I do a lot of coarse fishing and do love a bit of float fishing. How would you rate my chances fishing float and rag this time of year (early spring) off the shore? thanks

@fishingintheukgarywood

6 жыл бұрын

Thanks Laurence, I think the water is still a bit to cold and there aren't many fish about at the min but still worth a shot you might pick up the odd Pollock or wrasse depending where you will be fishing.

Hello from Spain, Beautiful float fishing video. Like! One question, I see in this video you hook nose the long ragworm with just ONE hook. Did you miss any fish for just using one hook with the long ragworm? Don't you ever use two hooks (when hooking a long ragworm), one main nose hook and a second assist hook, in the middle of the ragworm or near the tail of the ragworm? Thank you very much and keep it up.

@fishingintheukgarywood

7 жыл бұрын

Hello Jose, Thanks for the comment. I haven't tried using an assist hook when float fishing but I could see how it would help. I usually only use one hook because it allows the rag worm to move more naturally under the water sometime I do miss fish this way as the little fish tend to bite the tails off the long worms but the bigger fish have no problem taking the whole worm and the hook in one go.

Hi man, I loved your video keep up with the good work! If you allow me to ask, how do you guess the depth of your fishing spot to set your float to it?

@fishingintheukgarywood

3 жыл бұрын

Hi, i just do it by trial and error. I usually set my depth to about 6 foot when i start. if i don't get any bites i i bring the float in for a change of bait and i adjust the depth deeper by about 1 foot at a time until i find what depth the fish are feeding at.

Another question, what's the lenght of the leader you were using in this video, from the float to the hook? Thank you.

@fishingintheukgarywood

I'm not sure on the exact length i think it would have been between 1 and 2 foot.

Watched a lot of videos explaining float shore rigs Thanks my friend you've put all the pedantics away and explained in layman's exactly how to rig Appreciated

Nice video, a very good Wrasse bait is cooked icelandic Prawn, you need to put some elastic on it as they will nip it off immediately. I fish in Norway, but don't use prawn that often as it attracts the Wrasse and Coalies, which I class as a nuisance.

Thanks for the tip Scott I'll have to try that next time I go fishing for wrasse.

Nice fishing ,your like me just smashing them in as others looking in their box for something float like to rig up cause they only fish the bottom ,night time is a killer for a float ,try this get a pike drift Cork float and hollow out middle enough to put old rod tip about 12" or slightly more ,epoxy swivel at bottom and fix float midway and attach a rod tip light onto top( one from clip and bell type) ,tape to seal light as they not ment to be submerged and your good to go for 100m visual plus the elevation from float makes good for less than fair weather ,looks a good place there and should be easy double figure at night
