So wish I was down by the sea. Alas, my two weeks in paradise are over for this year, and boy do I miss it. Never mind, the missus and my two lads still living at home ALL agree, we ARE moving after Christmas, gonna give my months notice at work and head on down to Cornwall! Have spoken with plenty of Cornish agencies, and they guarantee, being a qualified, and time served (26 years!!!) carpenter, work will not be an issue. So, roll on 2023, the sea will be my all year playground, and, thanks to the fantastic knowledge and skill Matt, and a few others, have shared here on TH-cam, we'll be feasting on fresh seafood on a regular!!! 🤍
Well I hope that it works out, I’m sure it will - best move you’ve made ! Certainly the fishing will be better , great for the younger kids too 👍 do update us when you catch that first fish from your new home.
Just received an email for a job interview, same job I'm in now, better money, great benefits package, except it's 250 miles south-west of nasty Coventry, in gorgeous Cornwall! Don't fancy a daily 500-mile commute, though, so, all being well, and I get offered the role, we'll have no choice but to move! Exciting times!!! Just wondering whether to buy some rag and lug in preparedness!!! 😁
Yes! I know a few folk who have made the move- initially they had a few issues with the change but now they all are so happy and can’t believe they didn’t do it sooner ! Stock up on bait those fish won’t know what hit them - quality of life for you mate 👍
Cheers as always Kerry- yea the new GoPro does have an option to always record which is helpful. Nice to show everyone the difference a bass makes on the rod tip
Canny session Matt, 👍with a bonus bass thrown in for good measure. 👏👏 I'm happy if my rod tip is just moving with the wave action. 🌊At least I'm out.🌅 Take care and stay safe.😷🙊
Looks super nice down on the shingle, great sesh! Got a few small bream last weekend. Soon the whiting will be the main event. Really wish I lived closer to the South Coast.
Just come across this video. Just Started back sea fishing after several years away. . Excellent content. Love the addition of the minimum fish size laws. The tips on bait presentation also 👌. Clear to see why I'm missing so many bites. 🤦. Very watchable personality. Can't wait to see more. Tight lines. 🎣
Welcome Sir. Glad your back fishing again- lots of good stuff for the returning Angler on the channel, I think a lot of us have had breaks from coastal fishing at one time or another , many changes over the years and some ever presents too- please check out the videos as I’m sure there’s some more interesting bits here for you - thanks for the comment
Yes there have been years when my tackle gathered cobwebs while I hoped the fishing would improve. Never gave up hope - things change different fish ( non commercial) ones move in. We now catch dogfish, conger, plaice in numbers. These were unheard of 30 odd years ago. Flounders, pouting, rockling are conspicuous by their absence - they were one the mainstay in competitions!
Hi cliff , thanks yes 8 flounder today and I think you know this spot very well. The abrupt ending is a youtuber think because I notice people generally click off as soon as I make it clear the ending is almost coming . Look out for more of my videos ending that way I’m afraid. Mercy arriving soon for you Sir 👍🇬🇧
@@SaltwaterAngler "The abrupt ending is a youtuber think because I notice people generally click off as soon as I make it clear the ending is almost coming" ??? 😮😮 I always watch right to the end, so that I can see what other recommended stuff (or crap!) TH-cam is putting up! 😁😁
No just me running round trying to be a smart ass! I use my iPhone and a GoPro- I’d love to have someone film me one day though - will help me concentrate on fishing. Thanks for your comment noticing it though Andrew.
I know all about size limits but a Bass that size would make a nice meal for one. It would be much better to take that size (non breeding) than these people that land these whoppers that are breeding size. It's a tough call. 🤔
Mate that tip about loosening up the drag when setting up and threading the eyes! Genius.
Just remember to tighten up before we cast !

@@PilzE. Good luck with the interview.🤞 Wishing you and your family all the very best for your change of lifestyle.🙏🙏
Take care and stay safe.😷🙊
Always good to see a bite caught on camera! It's quite hard to capture but I think one of the most exciting moments in fishing! Typical bass bite!

Another great video! What a nice session. Take care. Much appreciated and enjoyed. 😀
Thank you Sir 🫡
@@SaltwaterAngler It's great fun watching your successful fishing! ☺

Yes I saw that - do love the bream 👍 yep 2 Weeks till the ting’s

Loving the yellow rod
Great video Matt🌟, congratulations on some beautiful fish and nice casting to boot 🎣🎣🎣
Cheers Stevie , appreciated 👍
Another great video thanks Matt! Great to see you back on the beach with some bait - good for the Sole, or is it Soul? 🤔🤔 😁😁
Stay safe & well! 🎣🎣👍👍
Ha ha your racing through the uploads now Dave
very good, well done
Nice little lot of catches. 👍👍🐟. Well done.
Hi Nigel , thanks mate yep 👍 had 8 flounder in the end - appreciate your comment as always
Nice session Matt. My favourite two month's of the year for best results happen to be May and September.
Yes good months ! Don’t forget our friend October though
Good video Matt. Shame it ended abruptly. Best wishes mate.

Brilliant matt nice shots!!
Thanks Sam , glad you watched it , there’s definitely a difference in the bass and flounder bites and those continental rods really amplify things !
Yes definitely nice rods!!
So many camera angles and aerial shots. Have you got many cameras set up around you or is there some unseen person filming you ?
No just me running round trying to be a smart ass! I use my iPhone and a GoPro- I’d love to have someone film me one day though - will help me concentrate on fishing. Thanks for your comment noticing it though Andrew.
Nice session Matt.. 🎣
Thanks Ian
Fantastic, I've been going down there the wrong time of year I think. A super video though.
Autumns the best !
Top man sir 🇬🇧💪💪💪🐟🐟🐟
Hi Stephen, thanks 🇬🇧
Great video as always Matt, can i ask what sort of distances were you getting with the half pendulum cast??
Yea I must really measure them ! I always say about 100m but will test over a field and let you know Gareth
I,m looking to upgrade be interested in What Rods you using.
Will get back to you on this
Was just coming on here to enquire about the same. Interested in finding a long sensitive rod for light beach scratching.
Will report back !
Good stuff mate
Cheers Leon
@@SaltwaterAngler I’m out tomorrow morning see if we get anything
I know all about size limits but a Bass that size would make a nice meal for one. It would be much better to take that size (non breeding) than these people that land these whoppers that are breeding size. It's a tough call. 🤔
Yep there is some Evidence to suggest that- Some big bass no longer breeding as well.
Hooray for illegal sewage discharge! ;)
Ooh don’t ! It’s been pretty horrific round here ☹️
