Thanks Matt for another gem of a video, I have learned a lot from your channel, thanks for the time & effort you put into it. I look forward to the next one!
Great advice Matt! I now have hundreds of pictures of low tide beaches. Some taken from the beach and many taken from the cliff top on big tides. So many features - pools, gullies, sand patches and rock features. This year I will take more. Beaches are constantly changing. One beach I know the shingle has GONE😦. Another ( miles away ) it's built up. I have devised a rig to fish the rocks using shingle for weights. Which release if snagged. Can't wait to see if it works..
Spotted an article on Hastings in the current issue of Sea Angler and thought who's fishing Matt's patch and bingo you got part credit for the writting. Well done you. 😎
Really interesting video thanks Matt. Lots of things that most of us knew already, but always good for anyone new to sea angling. Quite impressed with the Colmic rod. I've been looking for a mate for my Vertix Jack but very few about since Grauvell went bust. I've also just about settled on a medium/heavy lure rod for metals - I think I'm going for an Abu tormentor if the piggy bank stays healthy! Stay safe & well! 👍👍
Starts off the same diameter as the mainline and gradually increases to be 60lb so you can cast a weight . They are usually about 15 m long so you can cut a few times without effecting either end too much. It’s worth getting a micrometer to check sometimes Lidl do one for about £8
Are you at stamco Hastings good spot that I've fished it many times the most fish I've caught there is 46 fish in one tide side of that groin wall on your right either side of the pier is good also further down at the harbour arm is a great spot my personal favourite is down at cooden beach side of the beach huts
Just back from last minute session in the Bristol Channel. Mentioned on another one of your videos that this summer I was gonna try out for bass with a float around local rocks. Went a couple of times, not a sniff but did lose a float by using too much depth and getting snagged up. This time, shortened on the depth but just while I was thinking of calling it a day, I realised I had a decent bass on. Not really usually into weights so don't own any fishing scales but reckon about 5.5 lbs. Great to have the plan work - for a change!
That’s great news, I remember oh and consider the length to weight tape measure for bass that are sold by b.a.s.s really good if you can’t weigh a fish and good catch !
Great tutorial Matt with some useful tips. May I add one more, never go fishing without "what three words" on your smartphone, hope you'd never have to use it but if you do it could be a lifesaver.👍
Many thanks for your engaging and funny comments ! Ive always wanted to go to morrocco too for those super bass ! Theres another video out on Friday at 17:45 so your welcome to thumb up or down again
Thanks for another great video! I have a question that may also help some people. If you’re fishing in rough sea conditions from a pier and the rod tip is bouncing and you’re using max lead weight e.g 7 ounce, is there anything you can do to stop the grip lead bouncing?
Using a running ledger might help. When we used to fish the strong tides on river breakwater we made sure the lead could move up and down the line easing that tension directly through to the rod tip.
Hi Matt, I'm planning to go fishing in the next couple of weeks, and I'm planning to try Hive beach at the end of Chesel! Have you ever fished this beach, if so is it any good?
@@SaltwaterAngler Thanks Matt, do you have any advice regarding bait selection? I would like to go for some mackerel at the start, so I'm assuming a set of daylight lures should be fine, and then bottom fishing overnight for anything else that may come along!
Excellent Vlog if you watch the tightening of that leader knot those first turns you put in the knot were cancelled out by the last four turns you put in this would in my very modest opinion not only add extra unnecessary twist to your line but it could weaken the knot too 🤔
That’s a good spot and your right they are cancelled out BUT the reason for that initial turns is that the hold the loop neatly so when you come back in your self it’s easier to tie, if you tie that knot without the initial turns it’s harder. Thanks Stephen.
Some videos on u tube are awesome but some are cringingly awful. It's much better to learn from a club or an experienced angler or you could be dragged down the wrong road. Angling is a sport of personal choices and preferences, it's not hard and fast rights and wrongs so you need to work very hard to find your own successful ways of doing things. I've been doing it for 45 years and I'm still learning as well as teaching.

Good stuff!yes many beach works changing beach profiles round here. A good way to research marks

Oh did I ! Haven’t seen that yet, I’m producing some articles for the magazine this year so i might even get full credit for some
Yeah I noticed that as well
Those quick links are a god send👌👌👌
agreed
At my 2nd mark typing. Thought you'd sneaked onto my 1st mark without permission 🤣🤣🤣. I'm sharing this about as full of info, thank you 🐸❤
Nice video mate just shared the link to my cousin who is looking to get into sea fishing. 👍
Thanks for doing that

Nice one, yes I’m an advocate of those conti rods, good luck with the lure rod I do like those abu rods
How does the tapered line work? Does it continually increase and decrease in diameter at given lengths of the spool?
Starts off the same diameter as the mainline and gradually increases to be 60lb so you can cast a weight . They are usually about 15 m long so you can cut a few times without effecting either end too much. It’s worth getting a micrometer to check sometimes Lidl do one for about £8

Yes that’s the one , the harbour arm has certainly changed hasn’t it

@@SaltwaterAngler visiting friends in Middleton for few days in August. Decided gonna take a rod on the train and fish a different bit of coastline.

Great tip!
Nice video mate, just had the first bass of the season on a lure and I caught it on film😃
Tight lines
yes, will check it out
How I wish I could thumb up your channel more than ONCE. GREETINGS FROM CASABLANCA MOROCCO
Many thanks for your engaging and funny comments ! Ive always wanted to go to morrocco too for those super bass ! Theres another video out on Friday at 17:45 so your welcome to thumb up or down again
@@SaltwaterAngler I am AFRAID, I am only GOOD at thumbing up 🙁

Hi Matt,

Have you ever fished this beach, if so is it any good?
I have yes , it’s a great venue that can throw up some real surprises

What’s the app you use Matt ?
Navionics
@@SaltwaterAngler hi matt is the app called navionics as when I search on apple apps there is lots come up but not actually called that?🤔

Great vlog, most informative on TH-cam,can I ask if you’ve ever tried lure fishing at night?
For bass that is
Yes , but I need to do more. I’ve had limited success so far but it can be deadly
Hi. What is the name this app?
Navionics
Thnx so much.
I always thought that those red post things marked a sewage pipe !?@?!?? If so you should use a spinner for little brown fish !!! 💩
Ha ! Yes they can’t put sewage in anymore though however it was suspiciously brown !
