@@theawfulangler I hope you are correct, BUT I remember when the built the nuclear power station at Hartlepool, people were hoping for Bass around the hot water outlet warming up the sea, never happened, BUT I do remember a bluddy great russian factory ship anchored off the beach from seaham to hartlepool between june to september and lots of smaller boats feeding it... that went on for most of the 70's.... it got where we had to cast farther and farther to catch fish..... my mate and I got hold of Paul Kerry and John Holden books and taught our selves long distance casting. we both got carbon fibre conoflex rods and tournament reels, (mine a Diawa millionaire with the level wind and gearing removed) but slowly even after a couple of years, you just couldn't cast far enough from the beach to catch decent size fish. In fact, My mate (looked a bit like John Holden well he had a big beard) and he want if for a few casting tournaments and won a few locally. He actually moved up to the Scottish side of the solway, a place called Dumore so we had a more good years there and Balcary point. But on the NE coast we had to go out on boats to get decent size fish....... anyway upshot was as the fish dropped off, so did I and now in my early 70s, I keep a couple of telescopic spinning rods and appropriate reels and a few lures and spinners in the back of the car and when time permits or I park up near a suitable bit of water or pier, I chuck a few casts and get a few mackerel or coalie or whatever talks the bait... still, I have my memories!!! keep up the vids, and well done for cleaning up after scroats when conger fishing

When you catch fish from the Humber, like behind Makro, is it edible? Might be a stupid question because Im not a fisherman but I see people fishing there often and it just looks like a mud bowl. Not sure that anything living in there would taste too good.

@theawfulangler

Жыл бұрын

Perfectly sensible question, mate. It all depends on the fish and the location. I know a few places, such as docks, etc, where you wouldnt want to eat the plaice from, as they just feed sludge thats sat on the bottom full of oil/fuel spills. Estuaries arent such a concern to me, its always got a good flow of running water, so yes whilst it mixes the sand, etc, up, it's relatively fresh. Also unlike most flat fish in there, the Cod are migrating as such, so relatively new to the area. Ultimately it all comes down to personal taste and experience. You might have different preferences, or a more subtle palette (that's not hard 😂), than me! P.s. that cod tasted delicious 😋

I really rate the Fury for the price to be honest. Its great for the east coast, or light to medium ground. If you're thinking of fishing the rockier marks, or going after big heavy fish such as skate, conger, tope, I would recommend looking at the Sonic SKS rods. They got bad press due to the tips snapping, but I have never had an issue with mine, and wouldn't think twice about getting another.

Just local mate. More for pleasure 👍

Sadly its ALL gone west now. I lived in Bristol in mid 80s cod started showing in the Bristol channel. By 1990 EVERYONE knew about LADYE BAY.. It got stupid on some tides... Best i ever did on a big spring was fishing 12 hrs from low up to high and back off the top. 11 cod from 4lb up to 18lb. Never did quite get a 20lb. But loads in upper teens. Only bait worth using ? Black Lug. ( fresh live). Squid & Peeler... Happy days. Now... 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Yeah it was a good little haul, we don't want to keep more than we can use fresh, my fish provided me and the Mrs with 2 good sized meals.

Born and raised in Grimsby, the Humber is NOT a river. It is an estuary. A river is where water comes to the surface, and over time finds its way to the sea forming a river. A river has to have a source, where is journey starts. The Humber was formed when two great rivers, the Ouse and the Trent came together and formed the estuary flowing into the North Sea..

Cheers Martin, I knew the Humber was an estuary, but didn't know the actual differentiation between a river and an estuary. I used the term river in the title, as I wasn't sure whether estuary is a globally recognised term or not.

I'm new whats the mark called
