All hail Billy, haaaaiiiiiiilllllllll!!!!!! I have learnt so much from this guy, and my fishing has come on in leaps and bounds because of it! All hail Billy 👍
Hi Paul, I'm nothing with out the people who support me. So glad my videos are helping you out, thanks Brother, see you on the beach 👍😁👌
Can't. Say it enough Billy fishing is the best u tube channel out there fish on brother
Berry, you can never say that to many times 😂 thanks Brother 👍😁👌
Nice 1 Billy.... Lovely chunky thornbacks.... You were not expecting them.... Well done great video bro 👏👏
I think it's a new species, the chunkback ray. There not that common as the UK and Ireland, all ways good fun. See you on the beach 👍😁👌
cracking session. Flat dogfish lol. that was a new one on me. Thank you Billy....
Hi, apparently down south in some places they have so many they call them flat dogfish. see you on the beach Paul 👍😁
Yay! Our ray of sunshine Brother Billy is back! Nice one thanks Billy! You're not wrong about the scenery there, especially at 13.30 as the light started to fade - magical! Well done on the PB Norwegian Rays, and a Ling for supper!
We were out fishing a quayside on Monday night, and a guy with us had something really heavy on his rig when he went to reel in. As he got it within 3 metres of the quay, he saw it was a big Lobster, and Mr Lobster had the line wrapped around his big claw which broke off just as he went to lift it up the wall! Just left with the claw! Stay safe & well - Dave! 🎣🎣👍👍
Thanks Tramp buddy and Dave as well, I have been fishing since I was 3. And I've only ever caught one lobster it was almost 6 lbs in weight, and then one week later my younger brother got his first lobster even bigger almost 8lb. At least you got a claw, it's better than most people do. fish on Trampster and Dave see you on the beach👍😁

Thanks Dog, fish on Brother 👍😁
Nice one Billy congrats on your new pb iam targeting the thornbacks this week myself, best wishes from Derry
Thanks brother, hope you have as much luck as me. Fish on 👍😁👌
Nice video again.
Norway is so bl**dy expensive.
I would be fishing there the whole year.
Now I have to be content with fishing in the Canary Islands.
Hi Andreas, yeah Norway is very expensive. But I think you have the better end of the deal. It's warmer, it's cheaper the fish are bigger. So you doing ok. Thanks brother fishing on 👍😁
Hows it going Billy hope all is well. The Thornbacks look alot better over in Norway.The Markings are more pronounced over there . But again another great video Billy . NICE ONE
Hi Earl, as it goes. It's like finding a needle in in a haystack, there are so many marks to fish. most of them don't produce, but with the termination you find the ones that do. Thanks brother 👍😁
Bruva BillyRay🤙
I didn't realise CnR did the mutsu without the offset (two seasons using) , keep an eye out for those now. Trying Mustad demons this season
Well done on the Ray👌
Hi bud, are you saying that CnR make a inline mutsu? The hook in the video is a varivas. I have used demon's for many years, probably the best hook out there. But they don't make a mutsu.👍
@@Billyfishing_watch
No , id mistaken thought you had in the vlog , my bad🤦♂️
Ive only used Varivas in 8/0 6/0 so far , nice circles 👍
Great session Billy! Nice bit of variation on a lovely mark. Nice to see a dopey dog again, I was starting to worry that you'd lost your touch 😉
Cheers for brightening up my Fridays brother 🍻🍻
Hi bud, yeah it's been a while since we've seen the dopey dogs. let's hope I don't see one for a few more weeks. Thanks brother, how's the fishing your side👍😁
@Billyfishing it's a bit slow down here still, stuck between the seasons a bit! We've got a few good sessions booked up towards the end of the month, I'll keep you posted!
Tight lines 👍👌
Hi Billy,cracking video,really enjoyed it. Those rays were lovely fish,well done.
Tbh,when I saw the title of this video I thought it said”Payday”…that will teach me for not wearing my reading glasses🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣best wishes to you.(I am still being plagued by the dogfish!🤬🤣
Hi Angela, and thank you. That was the hole idea with the thumbnail 😂. I must catch 10 each session. Fish on Angela 👍😁👌
@@Billyfishing_watch …I can’t seem to escape the dogfish…doesn’t matter what bait I use or the mark I fish from. We have seen an increase in the number of seals and dolphins which seem to be ploughing through the “table”fish,but the dogfish seem untouched🤬🤬🤣🤣…anyway I will be back out fishing tomorrow night…hoping for more giltheads👍
It's their time to breed, there feeding up for the spawn, I think they will pass soon. Good luck with the bream 👍
Another great video! Loving the markings on some of those rays, such a pretty fish! Have you tried fishing the piers in Namsos for these? Several longnose have been caught up there, they must be way more fun on shore gear :D
Hi Erik. As it goes I have finished the pier in Namsos but it was not the best time of year. From November onwards there are more skates and rays there all I caught was black mouthdogfish and I got to feed the local otter. Thanks brother fishing on 👍😁👌
Awesome video as always Billy!! Loving your Norwegian adventures! When putting your bait on skinside out, does it help protect the bait a bit from crabs?
Hi bud, when you fish the bait like that, it will fish longer for the these reasons. The skin prevents the oil from seeping out too quickly. Also protects the bait from scavengers. But if you fish the bait inside out it will attract more attention, more attention can get you a bike quicker because there's more oil and fish bits in the water to get a central going. Glad you like the vid, fish on Brother 👍😁👌
Great vid bud. I always get a kick when you tie into something new. It's the old "kid at Christas" thingy. Again...thanx.
Hi RW, we get alot of those rays back home. It was just like seeing an old friend 😊 thanks brother fish on 👍😁
Billy! This area is about 30 mins away from where I live. We seem to fish at the same spots but never at the same time 😂
Hit me up if you'd like to fish together sometimes, I have a boat here as well if you'd like to hit the waters for (hopefully) bigger fish.
Hi Thor, I would love to say yes. But with weather tides and uploads, it's just too difficult. but if you see me fishing, just join in. Thanks brother see you on the beach, maybe 👍😁
Billy i been using a pair of pliers on the mutso cirlcle hooks and you can straighten them out and make them inline .
Hey bud. That all depends on who makes them! The hawks and the video are Japanese, and they tend to over harden their hooks. They will just break. What brand are you using?
@Billyfishing_watch oh right I was doing it with Cox and Rawle ones in size 3/0 they bent pretty good
@MrMerciless67 thanks Brother 👌
Mantab yes keren😎😎😎😎😎
Nice video
Thanks brother, fish on 👍😁👌
Just been getting into your channel lately, great stuff dude! Can’t wait to try your versions of the rigs, makes so much sense. Fair play bud fish on!! 🫡
Hi Jason. Glad you liked it Brother, see you on the beach 😁👌
Evening billy.
Just wondering dude what kind of net you use for landing fish of piers please bud.
Great video as always
Hi John. In all my years fishing in Norway, I only needed a drop net one time. And on that pier you could not use one because of huge excavator tyres hanging off the side of pair, all connected together with chains. So it makes it virtually impossible to use a drop net. And that's the way they do 99% off their big pears. So instead I use a gaff, if I am going to keep the fish. If not, I can climb down and retrieve the fish at either end of the pair, which you can do most places. And if I can do that, I don't fish there. Thanks Brother👍😁
Hi I love your videos just wondering which model of sonic rod do you use for a multiplier thanks John.
Hi John. I use the SK4! But I don't think they still make them, thanks Brother 😁👌
I've heard good things about Breistein ferjekai outside Bergen, some big fish including lange (ling?)
Yes! Great fishing in Bergen. Lots of different species. Fantastic fishing, thanks Brother 😁👌
Billllly
Jonnnnnnn👍😁
Great video Billy, im loving your vids. Can I ask what brand your rod rest is?
Hi Datihi, the pod is an Ian gold's match rest. See you on the beach 👍😁👌
Thanks Billy I appreciate you coming back to me!
@@daithinolan7904 no probs 👍
thornback record in Norway is 10,75kg taken while icefishing in trøndelagm best i have heard about from the shore is a little over 8kg.
Thanks for the info, Brother 👍😁
Always fun to see youre vids man. How is shore fishing in june? first days of june we go on a fishing trip to Lærdalsøyri. Will jigging work that days?
Hi Pim. I have never fished that fjord, but in the summer there will be mackerel, cod, coal fish , pollock there are no Halibut.A 15-60gr or 50-100gr is all you will need. But you can fish bait on a spinning tackle, for flatfish and other. It's a very deep fjord so you might find something special. Thanks and good luck, hope you hook up. Fish on 👍😁
Nice, Thanks for the advice
@@pimhartman3719 no probs 👍
nice roker
Thanks John, fish on Brother 👍😁👌
Billy, can’t believe missed you on Storfjord. (Troms?) Trying to work out quite where you were. Can’t recognise the mountains were you on the lynseidet side!?
Hi, I'm out on the Islands to the South West of Ålesund, the biggest town is Ulsteinvik 👍
@@Billyfishing_watch ahhhh the “other” Storfjord. Well keep going mate, good to see another celt catching 🎉
Thanks brother, Brother 👍😁👌
@@Billyfishing_watch sister (mad keen fisher chick) but its all good
Nice!! A fishing sister. See you on the beach 👍😁👌
How's the heavy braid holding up ?
So I'm going to fill in some blanks. I run 100 lb leader and a 40 lb mainline, and have no trouble with abrasion from rocks weed or barnacles I think this is what you want to know. 👍😁
Great session Billy - nice to see some rays too. Would love to hear what your South African connection is? What is a Torsk in English?
Hi bud. a torsk is not a cod, 😊 It a Brosme Viking , but they call it something decent over here. My SA connection is they known how to fish! Thanks brother fish on 👍
I have said that in a better way😅 as I remember you are a Dan, and thought you had confused torsk as meaning cod . But a trosk is in the cod family and is like a fat ling. Thanks brother 👍
@@Billyfishing_watch All good Billy, although I did not refer to Torsk as a cod. I recall eating lots of torsk as a kid (loooong time ago) in DK. I grew up in Cape Town (20yrs) which is why I’m curious of the connection. I am also a South African citizen. Confusing I know as I live in London UK
So some weeks ago you made a comment in Afrikaans, I thought it was Dutch. Do you still speak Danish?
@@Billyfishing_watch yes but have lost the words. Was 13 when I left. Would take a couple of months to catch up if I moved back.
I also speak Afrikaans and used to be fluent in German (lost that)
Are some rays also suitable for eating or are they quite pointless compared to other Norwegian fish?
Hi Toomas. yes you can eat them, buy you need to pull the skin off first. They don't taste that great, and there not that common. And cod, dabs, haddock, place, coalfish, Tastes much better and are easier to catch. Thanks Brother 👍😁
Hey Billy. I click on the link for the pulley ring rig but it doesnt work. How do you make that rig? Is that your go to rig for thornback rays? the theory is that you need a rig that keeps the lead weight away from the bait as if a ray touches the weight the ray gets spooked and swims away which is the problem with the big game rig as you mentioned
Hi Gavin. Not much I can do about the link, but the big game rig works perfectly well for rays
@Billyfishing_watch thanks..I can just use plain leads or curve the spikes of the spiked leads to prevent the rays from getting spooked. The plain lead would just be like swimming over a small pebble or rock. The pulley ring rig you mentioned does sounds good though..could you make another video on it?
I'm startin to think I need to buy a 525 mag reel 🤔
What you fishing with now?
@@Billyfishing_watch Mainly fixing spool reels, a penn pursuit III 8000 and a cheaper brand rovex 9000
@@GonzoFishingIreland if you are fishing three-piece continental rods, I would not get a multiplier. They are just no good for that type of reel. But if you would like to swap over, I can help. But they will not help your distance for a while 👍
get a usa model the newer ones are not usa made , plenty of secondhand ones flying about
Billy, the “tray” on your tripod, where did you get this at please?
I made it myself 👍
@@Billyfishing_watch happy days then. I need something similar for the Irish event this September.
Billy, where ye based out off? Would love a day’s fishing with you.
@@paule450 I'm not able to do that unfortunately. Because I get asked that same question 10 times a week. And if I was to make plans with everybody I would get nothing else done, but if you ever see me just say hello 👍🙂
@@Billyfishing_watch are you fishing at home (Ireland) mostly?
Congrats on the PB. probably see more ray due to global warming......
Thanks the Kid. I think there are a lot of them in Norway. But there's just so much water to fish, they are hard to track down. Fish on the the Kid👍😁
Ray - Thornback 37 lbs 28/05/1961 Ling Rocks, Kinsale M. J. Fitzgerald, there you go , sorry forgot to say Up the Dubs
That's some fish, Pat. Firtzie most have lost his mind, when he saw that monster 😂 thanks Brother 👍😁
