Hi thanks for the comment, glad you liked the video, I will try to make a video in future of how we bait up the traps, but I keep it as simple as possible and just throw any scrap fish and heads into the open end of the trap so it lies in the middle, better practice is to suspend the bait mid trap so not to have your catch slice at the mesh but my traps are old now so I’m not too fussed about that. They were purchased from EBay many years ago so can’t give you a link but by searching most general online retailers like Amazon or eBay for a fairly good quality crab trap you should have similar success. Hope that helps and all the best. 👍🎣

Thanks for the cool comment, was April in the video so was slightly early for Mackerel although saying that with the climate fluctuations and more research it is possible areas of our coast can hold on to traditionally migratory fish all year round but I’m far from expert in such matters so as a rule seemed early as maccy are considered a summer species. Glad you liked the video all the best to you and tight lines. 🎣👍

Thanks for getting in touch new vids coming soon sorry it’s been a while …we have been fishing just not managed to get the vids edited and put up. Thanks for the comment pal we will be back on your screens soon, Tim & Dave. 🎣🫡👍

Thanks for the comment, I will try to mention bleeding fish and the benefits of doing so in my future videos. These fish were in deed not bled-out but didn’t affect the taste as they were prepared and eaten very quickly. Thanks for watching. All the best 👍🎣

Thanks for the comment pal, it’s been an odd year, we have been fishing and filmed videos but I simply haven’t had time to edit and post, I sadly made a rod for my own back with how I edit and create screen location information etc on videos so my editing does take a while on top of this as I’m self employed it’s been on the more difficult side to get anything done with the channel as I have been very busy. The times I’ve had off I’ve tried to just fish and recharge rather than make a video each time. My dad is in much better heath recently after an operation that seems to have been successful so along with new ideas where to take the channel including a new boat, new venues and some optimism for weather and time we do plan on some cool content to come. We wholeheartedly appreciate all our subscribers including your good self and makes me feel very guilty I haven’t posted more but hope you can bare with us and we will be back hopefully with some exciting new videos or at the very least as our regular content for you. Thanks again for getting in touch. All the best Tim & Dave 🎣👍🫡

Not gonna lie. I was worried!! Makes me so happy that your all healthy and more importantly……. Wetting a line! Comforting to know you and your family are all ok so just keep enjoying life and enjoying fishing and I’ll look forward to ur next video when the time is right brother!

You are totally right, local knowledge wins ALWAYS. Thanks for the comment. All the best. 🎣👍

Thanks for the cool comment, lovely looking fish indeed they are. All the best. 🎣👍

And right you are too sir, thanks for the cool comment and watching the video. 🎣👏

Thanks for the comment Paul, me & my dad are good thanks, we have been out enjoying our favourite pastime of fishing but sadly I’ve not managed to get many videos edited and posted. Has been a combination of my work life balance, bad time management and motivation to edit up videos. I will try my best at times my work isn’t in the way so much to get some videos edited and up. Hope you yourself have managed get out and thanks again for watching and commenting pal. All the best Tim & Dave.🎣👍

👍

Thanks Paul very kind of you, exactly as you describe, gotta do it yourself to know how it feels. All your Scottish fishing sounds epic too. All the best to you pal. 🎣👍

Thanks Tim yes had some great fishing up there years ago and also some great trips to a lot of the marks you've visited, love the very informative videos you produce so keep them coming, I'll health has put a dampener on my fishing adventures in recent years I have mobility issues now so favourite marks like Tye Croes are just too much for me to lug gear to but regardless I'm determined to get some fishing in, have been scoping easy marks to get to which unfortunately arnt always the best marks but hey as you will understand it's just lovely being out there, in fact been planning a trip to Cemlyn bay (beach right next to car park) for a while and tonights the night as long as weather holds out, anglers don't rate it much but I will enjoy the solitude if I'm the only crazy one out there later and there's always the chance of a doggy to save the blank. Anyways I've droned on long enough so just to say thanks for sharing your adventures on your channel, one of the best for information to newbies and seasoned anglers alike, keep up the good work mate and tight lines 👍

@user-hs7vx1zq3c ….thanks for that super cool comment again, yeah lots of our marks are now easy venues due to my dads health issues, I try to go to the tricker marks with my pal mark or sometimes on my own but prefer a pal at rock marks my mate Mark coincidentally loves Cemlyn and had many nice fish out of there including bass so can be a good place to fish so good luck. By all means update me on here with results if you wish. Tight lines pal. 🎣

@@FindingFishUK Thanks Tim, well I left the final decision to the weather reports, forecast said a little drizzle at Cemlyn about 9.30 for half hour or so then the virtual time map showed clear sky's for the rest of the night and we can all handle a bit of drizzle right! so I loaded the gear into the car, bout 10 trips from my apartment to car lol and set off for the 2 hour journey to Cemlyn. got there about an hour later than planned so missed the chance on the lure rods at dusk and went straight to setting up the bait rods. 4/0 pennel with a larger cocktail hoping for a huss or maybe a ray or even a bass, on the other rod a simple 2 hook flapper with smaller cocktail baits, didnt have to wait long in fact as I settled the flapper rod on the tripod I was straight in with the obligatory doggie, re-baited and lobbed back out and again as I settled the rod on the tripod it was off again but also getting a bite on the pennel at same time, I tried my best to handle 2 rods on a doggie fest but it was just too much, even that weed covered shingle is hard terrain to move about on so I continued with just the pennel rod. Now like most anglers I welcome a doggie to save the blank but after i'd lost count of the number I really was hoping for something else. unfortunately the weather forecast got it wrong and when the rain came it was more than a bit of drizzle it was proper rain and apart from the odd 10-15 minute break it continued through the night. When high water was about half an hour away and I was soaked through, I had donned an old flotation suit from the Scotland boat trip days to keep me warm but the constant rain eventually got through and I ended up wet and uncomfortable, everything was getting soaked and I made a decision to pack in, I was going have a cuppa and a snooze in the car and wait till dawn to have a go on the lure rod but to be honest once I'd dried out and looked at some dark clouds lurking above the bay I could just make out as dawn was about to break I thought do I really want to get back into wet gear and most likely take another soaking! so I called time on the session and vowed to try the new lure rod id bought on another day. So top and bottom is i've tested my abilities and limitations and will gear up accordingly for future trips, one rod only, easy fishing from the car, maybe concentrate on the lures instead of bottom fishing or even get some more experience on the fly scene which ive done very little of. All and all I still enjoyed getting out again and that beach on your own through the night is something else, very spooky ha ha, with the light flashes I could just see over the headland to my left which I presume was south stack it was like a scene from a horror movie. The feeling.of solitude and calmness was amazing "if you know you know". anyway Tim thanks for the invite to come back and comment on my adventure and keep your great videos coming I like a lot of others really enjoy them, tight lines 👍

@user-hs7vx1zq3c thanks for the write up…yeah that beach is a nice wild one with no one around and the lights are like the start of an alien invasion movie sometimes lol …glad you managed to get out and wet a line, considering you found the fish is always a bonus, I understand the doggie thing and the island can be a wash with the little critters at times not letting you get a chance of catching anything else but when it’s like that, I like to see what’s the largest I can catch and keep for rock and chips… doggies can be mighty tasty fresh deep fried with chips 😋 all the best for your future sessions and by all means any cracking sessions you’d like us to know about do get in touch. Tight lines pal. 🎣👍

Thanks for the comment, and glad to hear it too, the more people eat dogfish the better. All the best pal. 🎣👍

köszönöm a megjegyzést, igen, vannak jobb orsók, de ez az orsó csak 7 GBP volt, és sok halat fogott, mielőtt eltört volna. minden jót. thanks for the comment, yes better reels out there but this reel was just £7 and caught many fish before it broke. all the best.

@@FindingFishUK ♥️

Not sure on context but thanks for the comment.

👍

Thanks Andy, my pal Mark is booked on with you and gonna be one of his spots I think so hopefully see you then pal, I keep a breast of your Facebook posts and when weather behaves as ever solid sessions mate. All the best from me and my dad 👍🎣

Amazing place for sure, wish my drive was 2hrs…add 3 more for us but again correct well worth it non the less. Thanks for the comment, all the best 👌🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🎣👍

Thanks Casters thought if I am coming back after a while of putting a video up… I’ll come back in style 😂 Hope you and troops are well. All the best 🎣👍

Thanks for the comment, really appreciate that pal. All the best 🎣👍

Thanks for the cool comment, I always hope people can find helpful tips and or enjoy the content for what they like about it, so glad you liked the atmosphere in this one, for the latest size limits visit the Welsh Government website where you will find all the latest information regarding this as I don’t want to give false information if anyone reads this before or after any changes. Hope you can get the info you need and where possible practice responsible fishing and find some fish too. All the best Tim & Dave. 🎣👍

Thank you much@@FindingFishUK .. I checked but site is so confusing..Better to ask to angler near shore i think :))

www.wfsa.org.uk/_files/ugd/1b2e68_1773181418944588a3abe719ef0cac03.pdf That should help…

Thank you much@@FindingFishUK . 🙏

Thanks for the comment, you’re not the only person to advise me this and I do try not to strike hard now a days, I must say a lot of the reason I have struck like that is excitement, but I’m better than I was with it. Thanks for taking the time to get in touch, tight lines and all the best. 👍🎣

Hi thanks for the comment, I am unable to give any sound advice sadly on mono as me and my dad don’t tend to use it much these days as we use braid on all our reels. We found at snaggy areas like Otterspool mono would snap much much more than braid. I understand there is a huge debate whether mono or braid is best for sea fishing and for lots of different reasons but we find braid works best for us. (We use fixed spool reels) In all honesty I’ve hardly ever lost huge amounts of line using braid and tends to snap at the rig mostly, and for us mono was the opposite with lots of line lost when stuck in snags. Do try to get some advice from elsewhere too as like I say we are not very clued up on mono qualities or best breaking strains. Put simply if you have to use mono go as big as you can without affecting your reels ability to cast well (again sorry it’s simple advice but it’s the best I’ve got) hope you manage to find some fish pal and all the very best. From Tim & Dave. 🎣👍

Thanks pal, always appreciate your kind comments. I’ll let my dad know you send him your regards, he’s doing much better recently. All the best mate. 🎣👍

You too Casters mate good things for 24 for you and the crew and I agree Bara Brith is the one. Stay safe pal. 👍🎣

Thanks for the watch & comment Dave, I do eat Velvet Swimming Crab and cook them very simple in salted boiling water, I pick them and usually have them in a salad BUT I have a confession to make 🫣 knowing I didn’t have the time to pick them, I decided to give them another shot at getting bigger and they went back (alive obviously not to worry) Unfortunate for you guys but lucky for the crab I suppose. Knowing you’d like to see a vid I will cook the next crab haul. All the best and thanks again for getting in touch. 🎣👍

In all honesty I’d pick Bara brith over the Almond finger, but I’ll scoff any cake to be honest. Indeed great to meet you. All the best for 2024 also pal. Take care and tight lines. 🎣👍

Diolch Ceirion I’m gonna try for a shot again on the island as soon as I can. Again if it’s not a last minute decision (as these were again) I’ll get in touch to meet up. TightLines and keep up the amazing content on: youtube.com/@angleseytightlines2918?si=E8MpD1yV5uko0k31 All the best mate. 🎣👍👌 Ps. my dads well on the mend ❤️

Thanks pal, I personally really enjoyed the sessions in this video so over joyed that you enjoyed watching it. Thanks for the cool comment and all the best pal. 👍🎣😎

Indeed mate, and of course be tops to meet again, me and my dad are always knocking about somewhere randomly fishing so you never know. Tight lines pal and all the best.🎣👍

Marine beach as far as I’m aware is actually classed as Fleetwood (up the road from Blackpool) but is on the Flylde coast. This is the post code as I know. FY7 6HF. Hope that helps and thanks for the comment. All the best 🎣👍

I’m lucky to have a mainly course tackle shop close to me so I grab a pot of small worms before I go fresh water fishing anywhere, it does make perch fishing very easy and so yes is a real worm. BUT absolutely you can catch perch on artificial baits and lures. Just as an example I catch my trout mainly on wet and dry flies and commonly catch perch while Trout fishing too with the fly. Considering technically fly’s are classed as an artificial bait or a lure you can obviously catch perch on all manner of artificial baits including artificial worm. Hope that helps thanks for the comment and all the best. 🎣👍

I meant'Weever fish'!

Thanks for the comment pal, so much to love about current sea fishing, the river these days is much improved from the fishing of yesteryear and yes so many baits available now but while the rivers fishing has improved overall sadly across the country fish stocks have declined for so many different reasons. This all goes to show how important it is to savour the fishing of this fantastic area that is the Mersey and surrounding estuary area. All the best and thanks for getting in touch. Tim & Dave. 🎣👍

As you will no doubt agree, the Mersey was nothing short of being a sewer way back when but vastly improved when the waterways up stream improved. I do hope we are not heading back that way.

I really refuse to go looking into the sewage discharge information more than is given to us in the media I’ll be honest, not because I wish to be ignorant but more as it will no doubt REALLY frustrate me to the point of anger, especially considering the profiteering I hear about with it all. So let’s just stay on the side of hope and say the future is hopefully not going to the same as before or gosh forbid worse. As ever unless a mass protest in the tens of millions happens us citizens are at the will of the companies and the the people in power, let’s just again “hope” there is a clear distinction between the people in power and the companies this involves as we are surely a democracy arnt we ? (Way more political than I normally get but must have caught me on a rainy day 🫣😉) all the best regardless pal. Tim.🤞🎣🤷

Thanks for the comment mate, nice in fish cakes for sure, with prawn sounds very nice. I have been over to the island a few times recently, but as ever I'm pants at getting videos up. I will try and get one up before Xmas, been watching your vids on and off you've had some nice sessions pal. My dads not too bad thanks for asking, come the new year (usually my business quiet time) I should get out fishing more and over to your neck of the woods fingers crossed, also if the Codling start to show in any numbers a meet up on the Mersey would be cool. Anyways enough waffle Tightlines Ceirion and all the very best to you friends and family for Christmas 🎄 🎣🎅

@@FindingFishUK all the best for you and your family too 🐟🎣

All good advice, thanks for the comment, I try to do those things. Hope you enjoyed the video. All the best Tim and Dave 🎣

Thanks for watching and the comment, dad is slowly on the mend thanks. We find fishing the tide up at Otterspool promenade best but depending on the size of the tide and part of Otterspool you fish it can be different..but generally half way up is a good time to start to fish. A good general rule of thumb is most promenade venues on the Mersey are best fished half way up tide until perhaps 1-2 hrs after. Be aware even a small tide on the Mersey will see you struggle to hold bottom when the tide is on its way back out. There is no substitute for having a go, you can get a real feel for an area simply by fishing it cautiously and seeing what works. Hope this helps. Thanks again and all the best. Tightlines, Tim and Dave. 🐟🎣👍

Thanks for the comment, I use a combination of a cheap go pro type camera and my phone. I also use a few cheap accessories like a ring light and a tripod with phone holder. If any of my footage looks grainy, bad quality or pixelised its usually be due to it being so highly zoomed in. Hope that helps in any way. All the best Tim and Dave 🎣 🐟

Thanks Philip 💛 he is on the mend slowly 🐌 👍 all the best to you too mate. Thanks for the comment. Tim and Dave. 🎣🐟

Indeed another cracking Whiting recipe. The sky really is the limit with the humble Whiting. Thanks for watching and commenting. All the best Tim and Dave 🎣 🐟 👍

Thanks for watching and commenting its much appreciated, I am far from an expert on exact fish species details I simply research to find the best accurate info on the Web I USED THIS AS MY SOURCE: ***The Gadidae are a family of marine fish, included in the order Gadiformes, known as the cods, codfishes, or true cods.[2] It contains several commercially important fishes, including the cod, haddock, whiting, and pollock.*** If that is incorrect I apologise and I encourage People to research for themselves too to find out more or find their own info. Thanks for your input and all the very best to you. Tim and Dave 🐟🎣👍

FindingFishUK Not a cod then just a part wider group, or Merlangius Merlangus commonly known as whiting or Merling.

@kennethholroyd3588 yes as far as I know its just part of the wider family yes, so I was referring to it being very "Cod like" so can be treated much the same for food. Again, thanks for commenting and all the best to you.

Humber sounds the place for decent Whiting top stuff! Thanks for the comment and the watch as ever mate, all the best Tim and Dave 🎣 🐟 👍

Yeah my dad is better day by day thanks for watching and commenting pal, Tim and Dave 🎣 👍

It's certainly every bit as good as other "typical" eating fish for sure thanks for the watch and the comment. All thr best Tim and Dave 🎣 🐟

Thanks for watching glad you agree, as for skinning, I skin them exactly the same way you would any fish just a little more delicate, basically once filleted, skin side down to your chopping surface start at the tail end cut into the flesh slightly in from the tail through the meat towards the skin beneath, stopping just before you hit the skin, then using a slight sawing action but hardly moving the knife at all grip the skin and pull towards you all the while with a sawing action with the knife but not really cutting just letting the flesh and skin hit the blade as you effectively pull the skin off from under the fillet with the knife just helping (not cutting) I find a knife slightly blunt helps as it wont cut into the skin as you pull this is not the aim you see the aim is to kind of use the blade to peel the skin away. If you can find a video of how to skin Cod its the exact same process but be slightly more delicate. I can obviously only explain so much, and it's much easier to see a vid if I can I'll pop a video up of how to skin a fish. Thanks for commenting and sorry for the long reply hope it helps. All the best Tim and Dave. 🐟🎣😋

I agree, yes I've had it deep fried too very tasty, thanks for watching and the comment. Tim and Dave 🎣🐟👍

Thanks Lynne and Ant, wow 31 is certainly a busy session well done, glad you like our videos thanks for watching and commenting chaps got a few vids awaiting upload so watch this space all the best to you both. Tim and Dave. Tightlines 🐟🎣👍

My dads better day by day thanks for the best wishes and thanks for watching glad you found it interesting. All the best pal, Tim and Dave. 🎣🐟👍

Thanks for watching pal, We do fish further up too but tend to go in the car there as the van isn't needed if we fish well away from it. All the best, Tim and Dave. 🎣🐟
