Fishing channel for Tackle King. I head off fishing in and around Newport, South Wales with the occasional trip further out. Mainly sea fishing and tidal fishing on the River Usk, Severn Estuary, and the Bristol Channel.
Fishing a new mark on the River Usk, Newport
After discovering the new access point down to the river on Monkey Island, Newport, I just had to head there on the e-bike to give it a try.
It also gave me the chance to try the new jighead hooks with a spinner.
A really nice spot for fishing in Newport. There is a bit of a slope from the new access point but nothing too difficult for pushing the e-bike down and up.
It was an 11.5m tide today so the path on the bank was pretty much next to the water. I think on most tides this mark will be very fishable and only on the highest tides could there be a problem with flooded paths.
Even though it's pretty grassy around the mark these new jighead hooks coped going through the grass without too much of a problem.
Could be my new regular fishing spot in Newport until Coronation Park re-opens next year.
While the new clearance has made access to the river much easier, it is still, sadly, not wheelchair accessible. It would be so good to get some disabled platforms and accessible paths down to the river somewhere in Newport on the River Usk.

Lure fishing on the River Usk in Newport
มุมมอง 444ปีที่แล้ว
A 3-hour urban fishing session on the River Usk at Newport. I headed to the river bank behind the Motorpod and the A48 to try out three new swim bait lures. I had some excellent responses with these swimbaits at Barry so I thought I'd try them on the Usk Estuary. One of the lures produced a couple of good bites but sadly I missed them. One day soon I'll get a fish on camera. Fishing tackle: Bud...

Early Evening Fishing at Barry Docks on the Senko Worm

A late afternoon and early evening fishing at Barry Docks. Fished from 4.00pm until about 7.30pm. Not on the bus today, decided to opt for the train which gives me a bit more time fishing. Journey time from Newport to Barry Docks railway station is about 1 hour 10 minutes and a 10-minute easy walk from the railway station down to the waterfront. The cost was just £7.60 return on a Saturday. Bar...

Testing Gummy Baits and Getting Bass Fever at Barry Docks

A fabulous day out at Barry Docks fishing. I headed there to test the homemade crab flavour gummy baits. Sadly ended up getting bass fever and spending time on soft lures trying to get them to bite. The gummy baits lasted well until I ended the testing to turn my attention to the bass. The lure fishing with the gummy bait did attract the attention of at least 1 mullet but it did not take the bi...
Bank Holiday Bus Stop Fishing Return To Barry Docks
มุมมอง 842ปีที่แล้ว
It's a bank holiday Monday so I wanted to test out going fishing at Barry Docks using the Sunday service on the bus. Pretty straightforward and easy but the biggest disadvantage was that on Sundays and Bank Holidays, the first bus to Cardiff is at 9.30am from Newport. With a 2 hour 20 minute trip, it means the earliest to start fishing at Barry Docks is about 11.45am - most of the morning is go...

My favourite 2 hook rig for estuary sea fishing using t knots

I like to make up my own sea fishing rigs. My preference, where possible, is to use knots rather than connectors and t swivels etc. This is my favourite 2 hook rig that I use when fishing on the estuary or coastal sea fishing. I use T knots for my hook leader that connects up to my main leader line. I do use connectors at the top and bottom of my main leader line to make it quick and easy to sw...

First time mullet fishing on river Usk at Newport, South Wales
Hi, I regularly fish St Brides and live in Newport, if your looking for a fishing buddy let me know, Matt
Hi TK I started out along the path of making my own bait etc using guar gum which does the same job as gelatine. I think you are on the right path but I also investigated amino acids. I never got to the point of creating a bait from them because other things got in the way. A couple of points. You could use a form of mesh ie panty hose or linen which is what fish bites uses. Also if the baits are sticky you could roll them before use in a powder such as mussel or prawn powder. This would get over the problem and add to the attractiveness of the bait. I just imported fish bites from the US to down here in Oz which cost me 60 bucks all up. Expensive and well worth while to keep trying to make your own. Cheers Alan H
How do i get here
What are you fishing for on the Usk ??
It’s actually four tablespoons of “water” if you include the coloring and flavoring you added. I wonder if the actual water amount was reduced to three tablespoons TOTAL if the lures would last longer before disintegrating.
Use AGAR AGAR jelly from the Asian markets
@@Kirmizibeyaz1325 it's biodegradable jelly
Hi i in Australia the use fish oli wete can i get different cents
How long will they stay solid
I was lookin online at another video that used fish oil, flour and some other bits. If I basically clumped a load of that around my lead and then put some on the hook, could I catch sea fish?? I read someone caught a flounder on a fish finger, so as long as it's bready and fishy and breaks up in the water it's ok?????
I bet that microwave smells grim now lol
What did you catch? I want to do this in the north east for flatties with lrf lures
if I remember it was a couple of mullet
Is it quite urban around there
Your doing it all wrong mate
Tenho uma maximus arremessa muito
Güzel çalışma. Denizde kesinlikle iş yapacak büyük bir fikir. Berkley gulp camo veya blood bomba etkisi yapacağını düşünüyorum. Ve bende yapacağım en kısa zamanda. Aroma olarak balık yağı karides yağı kullanılabilir. Teşekkürler
Çok güzel bu ikinci videonuz. Emeğinize teşekkür ederim kesinlikle işe yarayacaktır, balık karides ve yengeç koku esansı kullanılabilir. Sir; berkley gulp camo veya blood modelleri yapılabilir mi?
Hi there --- thanks for the video --- Could you please tell me what the Glycerin does in this recipe.
Nice to see the worms hold up to being Wacky Rigged. Maybe you could stuff the worm further up to the jig head so it catches the barbs, to help keep it on better? Maybe even tie it on with a bit of cotton thread. I wonder if you could Texas rig the hook and if the worms would work if the point is skinned?
Would love to see an update on how these are working for you. Are they very stretchy and soft? Have you tried glitter yet? Those molds sure aren't cheap! I bet you'd be better off getting a silicone mold making kit or some silicone from Smooth-On and making your own. You could make a worm, paddle tail or any thing in any size out of some modeling clay you bake hard in the oven. Like Fimo. Again, thanks for teaching how to make these!
Just a suggestion to try. When pouring epoxies and rubbers, you pour into the low point or, if mostly level, pour in the middle and pour in that one place. This lets the liquid flow across the mold and prevents/lessens air getting trapped. Just on Amazon looking for gelatin. Great idea for avoiding plastic! ??? Is the 250 animal derived gelatin the best? Is there a higher strength than 250? Also, if you have leftover, can it be reheated later and poured again? Thanks!
Such a good video, thx!!! How did they hold up to a hot day??? Also did u have any problems with the left over bait growing mold???
Christ put a bleeding Mike cover on so we can hear what the he'll you are going on about , TERRIBLE AUDIO.
There is no need to be an absolute cock. You can simply offer some constructive criticism and advice. Do better.
Hi TackleKing, Just to let you know I have had some success in Barry Docks with LRF gear, gobies, small bass. Have heard of large fish being caught in the docks, but never fished for larger fish myself.
As a "non breeder" (LOL!) I prefer no kids around. But your point of bans being bad for getting kids into fishing. Unfortunately, it's not so much a numerical age but a behaviour issue, certainly more and more these days. I think a good compromise would be certain days that are adult only and some that are family days, if it's a private run spot. If the spot is publicly owned property, they it really does belong to all people, so all should be allowed to use it. Perhaps in these spots, "adult only" sections could be marked off with signage. Again, these days, it relies on people being respectful and courteous and this can too often be ignored by ignorant people. It a tough situation.
Thanks for this!!! I just can't bring myself to buy soft plastic fishing worms. Potential seems high for killing fish that eat it (Either ones you release or ones that eat pieces that come off the hook) and the waters don't need any more plastic pollution. So looking for a homemade alternative. Yours look to have a fairly soft giggly movement and an hour+ in saltwater is great (I'm only fish fresh lakes for bass and trout). I wish you video had way more views so more folks would switch to food grade baits. ???- Have you tried a lower bloom strength gelatin for more wiggly worms? Or, if you know, would that make them too weak to stay on the hook? I'll check out your other videos. Thanks again!
What iv noticed with the mullet there, is when the tides like that and a wake hits the bank, they start feeding more.....
Very nice work, what about the elasticity of this recipe? Made a few tries with other recipes and when I bend them they snap. Any suggestions about getting the silicone-like elasticity? Thanks
You won’t catch nothing on lures in that river I have fished it since a boy and I have never seen anything caught on a lure there
Good short mate keep up the good work
I’ve been doing lots of research into this. It’s not your hook size, it’s the nature of gelatin. Use a small mess fabric in the bait when you poor and that should keep the worm from being bit off.
I'm interested in these DIY food grade worms too. I think your mesh idea is interesting. You could use cotton gauze perhaps to avoid plastics. I was also just thinking a few things and would like your thoughts, if you would. -Use a long, thin sewing needle to feed the fishing line right through the length of the body. Then tie on the hook and pull it back into the body to hide the shank. This might keep the bait from getting taken on short strikes plus reinforce the bait. -Or make up some short lengths of fishing line, maybe 10 to 15 pound mono. Long enough to go the length of the worm and stick out the head. Tie some knots in the line every cm or so to keep it stuck in the body. Have a small cinching loop on the end sticking out of the head. The loop would be cinched down on your hook or leader line so it stays with your rig and doesn't get lost(pollute) and can be reused. These short lines would be premade and set in the mold before the pour. Just some out loud thinking. Not experienced enough with fish yet to know what the faults of this idea would be. Perhaps you'd have some thoughts as to why it wouldn't work? Thanks!
try some metals, savage gear seekers.
Have you ever used crab gel for the usk? Does it work?
the water is too muddy for lures in the usk
do u have any video testing them?
I'm a cycling angler, and love doing both. Can you get to all the marks round here easily on bike? St.brides and goldcliff?
Have they started the work yet? Iv seen a youtuber fishing there very recently.
yes the work has started. Parts of the path have no been closed.
@@tacklekingUK ok, thank you. I think I'll give the back of the scaffolding yard a go this week then. The mark you fish in your other video. Iv been follow river with me lately, and only just moved here 5 Yr ago. Your videos are educational and appreciated.
@@mtadave6702 I think the platform is now closed but the bank is still fishable. There's no parking there now. The new owners of the yard are not as fishing friendly as the last owners.
@@RideshareBuddyUK awesome, I cycle everywhere and my bike stays with me. Think I'll try the bank on the flood, if not then monkey Island it. Seen a bass and eel caught there today so fishing picked uo again.
@@RideshareBuddyUK hi mate, iv just been down to the bridge and everywhere from the road side is closed. Before the works started, I seen fish and people catching them, soon as the work started the fishing has died right off, only tiny little green eels pestering baits, of which I caught 2 and my ragworm bait was bigger than it lol. I don't claim to be a good fisherman, but after seeing the fish along with my 36 yrs of sea fishing, that is what's happened in the Usk now.
Have you ever caught anything there ?
Hi, I've had a couple of bass and a conger out of the docks. Not a lot but the main attraction to Barry Docks is I can get there without worrying about tide times. I have seen some pretty decent conger come out and I've been told double digit bass is not unusual. There's also some pretty decent mullet. The biggest issue I have is transport, I can not fish at the best times because late evenings and into the night is a great time for fishing there but not great for public transport to get back home to Newport.
Best thing to use is ragworm or mussels on a small hook with a float, I've caught quite a few bass using them.
catch any mullet in that location by any chance?
Not personally. I don't fish there too often but I've been told there's good mullet on the pill side of the island rather than the main riverside. I think it's Spitty Pill. When the tide is in the pill fills up and because it's slack water without main currents the mullet prefer it. But personally I've not caught mullet from Monkey Island.
So cool keep making more videos
Love the jumper where can I get one please

Hi, It's As You Fade Away by Neffix. You can download it in both the TH-cam and facebook video soundtrack libraries royalty free.
Another good vid, even though there’s no fish! It’s just great to get out and try, isn’t it! Plus, you can plan your strategy for the next visit and increase your chances of a few fish! You’re totally correct about the 12 hour flasks….a nice hot cuppa always perks you up! I must say that you’re very lucky to be able to collect some mussels, as up here in the North East, the mussel population has completely vanished! I used to use mussels many years ago and they are, as you know, a good bait…as long as you bind them on with elastic! But there’s not a single one to be found on the rocks! Do you think that your artificial bait will produce some bites in the spring? I’m going to try your ideas with gelatine / glycerine and add some unusual flavours! I’ve bought a jelly worm mould, the same as you use and will be trying to create the ultimate😂 attractant! I look forward to your next vid…either making some artificial bait or trying it on the water. Tight lines mate!
thanks for the comment, always good to get feedback :) I'm not having much luck with fish even when I'm not filming, I am blanking 3 times out of 4. There just doesn't seem to be the number of fish around compared with even 5 years ago.
Hiya mate. River fishing license starts at Newbridge on Usk. Love the vids.
Cool, thanks
bit muddy the river usk in it
Definitely 😁
You need worm bait there for the Flounders..plenty of Bass Silver Eels And Conger about..plus plenty of Whiting in years gone bye..
do you still them, how do you like them ? whats the best flavour ?
Yes I still use them. THey are great as a back up option when I can not get fresh bait. Thay don't catch as much as fresh bait but do catch. Black lugworm is the best flavour for sea fishing. I must do an update video on this as it's a popular video. Thanks for the comment.
@@tacklekingUK what do you think about size and shape of jelly worm does it matters?
Depends on where you are fishing and what fish you are targetting. I tend to sea fish on tidal rivers so I have quite a large moulded bait and I tend to go with yellow or red colours because the estuary is quite muddy water. But I've used small worm moulds for freshwater fishing.
