That's the closest you can get to losing a net, without losing the net :) My daughter and I spent the last 5 days in a cottage near Castle Douglas but the weather was pretty awful so we hiked with the dog rather than risk fishing the rocks. Next time... I always carry a filled spare spool and an identical spare reel. I didn't used to do this, until my Penn Clash 2500 failed on a decent Pollock when I was several miles offshore on the Prowler. I swore I would never let that happen again, so I carry a spare spool AND reel, just in case. Medals and promotions for getting out - some nice fish for your trouble :)

The weather has been pretty awful over that way so good going getting out, despite the weather. Funny you should say that since only reel I've had fail has been a Penn. My Daiwa Bg Mag has never failed in 5 years and that's without being well maintained, saying that I always carry a spare loaded spool, just didn't bother unpacking it since the fish seemed closer in.

Great vid as usual. Comment on studs in shoes: IMO They are great if the rocks are barnacled and/or knobbly and gnarly enough for the studs to key into, but I find them quite dangerous if the rock is that smooth igneous rock. The studs skate over the smooth rocks like ice, and for those rocks just good grippy soles with that elastic give to them seems better. Just depends on the area. Know our marks I suppose.

@SlippyLimpets

Жыл бұрын

I've only fished with bait up there twice, one blank and one decent session. Water was clear and flat both times so don't have that much experience. Lures on the other hand, they'll work in most conditions. Most of the marks fish, but if it's flat then have a look on navionics for the deep water (tends to be on the golf course side). The canons is a popular mark on the caravan site side is tidal- only fishable for a couple of hours either side of low - but the golf course side is more accessible in that respect. Best tip for winter lure fishing is to fish as slow and close to the seabed and structure as possible. Hope this helps and you get amongst them

@@SlippyLimpets I did question that in my rant email to NTS as to why a disabled person would need to go to a steep cliff 😂

To make your lures weedless, if you thread a piece of rubber band ( around 1cm wide and 4cm long or as required) onto the hook before the hook is threaded through the soft plastic lure. The rubber band should be pushed up just under the hook eye. So then just get the other tail end of the rubber band and push the point of the hook into the end of the rubber band ( not the side of the rubber band but into the end) this will make a bridge across the mouth of the hook and when a fish hits it, the rubber band just falls away.. It should save losing a lot of lures.

Winding that quickly is good fun too, feels like you're having a proper battle

Good to see you washed your face (or was it flaming sambucas?) 🤣 Epic session, shame about your net - hope you can fix it. Have you ever considered diving once a year to retrieve some of your (and others) lost lures? I picked up quite a few at spring low on some marks. Love the bloopers. Tight lines mate!

Haha, how did you know about the sambucas?🤣 Unfortunately, the nets diagnosis is terminal, I'll keep the head and try and get a warranty replacement, but I suspect I'll be buying a replacement. I hate the idea of diving, it seems alien, especially in those depths. If I could snorkel it, no worries, but would need full breathing apparatus for this place. Tight lines LV

Was thinking the beard trim might have taken all your fishing powers away? How wrong I was, that was some top angling to get those puppies out in the winter.

That's all I was worried about when I reached for the shaver! Who knows though, I might have landed a cod if I'd kept the beard 🤔 Tight lines!!

Hi mate, I tend to use approach shoes with or without studs. They're shoes meant for climbers walking to their climbs so are light, supportive and designed to be used on rocks. But with most shoes work if you add studs to them. Hope this helps and you have a good one in May

Brilliant as always. Good and simple. Just wondering how long your net handle is ? Just bought from Ali Ex 5.4m . Hopefully that will be enough for me 🤔

It was 3.8m but it depends where you're fishing. I've tried one at around 5m and it was just too long to handle while fishing by myself on the marks i fish. Glad you liked the vid and hope you get on with the net!

@@SlippyLimpets yeah dude. Your vids are great . I love watching every time. Sometimes I watch old ones. Unfortunately I live too far away from your marks where you are fishing. Maybe some day I will come to St A... and meet you there 🙂 . Just watched your last vid and it's always heartbreaking how many lures you are losing. I'm using one method which is 80% saving my from snags. It's called "archery"

Great video, will be doing some shor lure fishing this year. What net are you using? Thanks

Thanks Rhys. It's a Spro Freestyle Xtender 3.8m with an HTO Folding net head. Hope this helps and you have a good one. Tight lines👍🎣

Sick video as always mate! Can I ask what telescopic landing net you have?? It would also be perfect for me! I live in Cumbria, but do all my fishing from the rocks around the Lizard peninsula. Thank you in advance, and stay safe mate! Regards, Guy.

Never had an issue with the double uni knot mate. When I've been snagged it's always broke at the leader end.

Eyup Dave. I'll bet my house the winter marks will be empty these days 'cos we can all sit in the warm stuffing the beer and curry down while we watch you tough guys go at it for us instead. 😂Forty to fifty mph wind here for a week so I'm knackered.

Great video mate :) Expensive fishing losing all that gear. I don't buy many shop-bought lures. The toy isle of the local pound shop is full of soft plastic toys that can me modified using a craft knife. I tried carbon landing net handles for a few years, and went through no end. Junk. Aluminium handles are infinity better imo. I've never broken one, they double as an aid when climbing banks, it protects my rods in transit, and makes an effective deterrent against aggressive wildlife.

I wish I had the time to try making my own lures, it would save me loads of cash. I'll have a look at the aluminium nets since I'm in the market for a new one. The wildlife deterrent sounds like an interesting story?

@@SlippyLimpets I'm not making my lures. Go into Poundland and look at the kids toys. you can get a bag of soft plastic lures being sold as toys for a quid. Tackle manufacturers are ripping us off. I caught a 7lb zander last year, on a squidgy, 3 inch, glow in the dark Buzz Lightyear. Wildlife? I've been charged by cows, trapped by swans, and had a feral child pull a knife on me. You never know what's going to happen when you grab your rods and head out. That's the joy of fishing.

You need to tie a loop on your net handle that you can wrap around your wrist.

Hi David, great session, I don't think Nathan would of caught as much, nice fish for January on a lure, or anytime really. Can you tell me where the silver minnow things come from that Nathan uses, or anything cheap and chrome around 25 - 60g I've looked on eel bay but not much luck, cheers 👍
