Sea Fishing UK - Fishing around the IOW and English Channel | The Fish Locker / The Solent Warrior
Sea fishing around the UK in Winter and Spring can be very challenging due to the weather. This time of year you really have to make the most of any opportunity you can. I fish today with my friend Dave @thesolentwarrior584 on his boat near the Isle of Wight and in the Solent. Patches of thick fog, rough weather and strong tides are all overcame for a great days fishing. We explore several different areas and methods to find the fish ending with some amazing sport in the lures.
For those interested. Here is a link to the Navionics Boating App. www.navionics.com/gbr/apps/na...
Here are links to some of the tackle that I used in this video. I hope it helps.

Dave and I have fished together for many years and both love it.
A red letter day for the bass, John. When we come across that out of Plymouth the bass will move about, or rather one part of the enormous shoal will surface and then go deeper and we have to follow the birds to where they're hunting on top again. Usually it'll only happen for 30 minutes, but 2 hours is the longest I've seen. Brilliant sport. Thanks to you and Dave.

Loved that. The slop on the banks brought back fond memories of a lovely week spent with Jason back in '21. Was a lot choppier one particular day even prompting Jase to say it was the worst he'd stayed out in. Great week,chased by an aircraft carrier,visited by coastguard just as I was having a poo in a bucket,first big conger,blonde,spurdog and a 9lb smal eyed from the shore on my carp rods. Cheers!

Oh, I have a crazy story about coming upon a huge herring bait ball feeding frensy. We caught mackerel and bass until our gear was wiped out, in like 45 minutes. The sea birds attacked and feasted, larger fish and and seals were attacking the predators driving it into a "ball" , it seemed surreal being there

It is. There were so many herring we had to shut down our engine to clean the sea strainer every 10 minutes. We got there early when the ball was driven together by mackerel, bass and seagulls. When the seals came in on attack, my mind was blown. People see seals as clumsy animals. they are not at all. I don't know how fast they can swim but they were swooping in at incredible speed, driving the water in wakes, containing the frenzy. . @@TheFishLocker

FYI: you should try to rub your fluorocarbon leader with a folded-over rubber patch (e.g., a repair patch for an inflatable boat or a bicycle tire). The heat generated from a few rubs straightens the curled-up leader. Have always worked for me with curled-up leaders for fly rod lines since I moved to Alberta in 1974 - and had to give up on coastal fishing in the Baltic Sea.

@@TheFishLocker I know you were John. We could see that plain enough. I actually thoroughly enjoyed this episode. I like them all but with the sound of all the sea birds this one gave me a bit of nostalgia. My dad is a bird fanatic and when we were kids he used to take us all around the UK to the sea bird colonys in breeding season. He still does it. 75 and still gallivanting around the uk in a caravan bird watching. He even drags my mum along even though he knows she’s not interested 😂
