  • A great day in the winter sun lure fishing for cod, ling and coley at beautiful St Abbs.
    After a slow start I found the fish on the wreck of the SS Glanmire which lies just a few hundred metres from the shore. As usual weedless shads and metals did the damage with the ever reliable Razor Claw accounting for most of the fish.

    I've just been sat at my fly tying desk for the last 40 minutes, making up a few squirmy wormies, flciked on youtube for a Chatton video to watch while I tied, some bloke catching Rainbows on pink apps, sounded just like you. And then I realised..................It is you ! Tight lines for 2023 all the best. Ivan

      Ha ha! Yes, the first three vids I ever made were Thrunton, Higham and Chatton! I don’t really film my fly fishing these days as the reception is mixed shall we say…the sea anglers don’t watch them and the fly fishermen get a bit hot under the collar when you use the apps/bung! 🤣. Tight lines to yourself as well mate and here’s to a fish filled 2023🎣👍

      I’ve had a few ling close in this year. Always nice to get them in shallower water as you say. It’s a stunning location and nice to get on that wreck as it’s usually swarming with divers 👍🎣

    • @onthedropfishing
      @onthedropfishing  ปีที่แล้ว

      Yeah or sometimes the divers pitch up. It was nice to get a few drifts over it before the tide and wind knocked the drift off. St Abbs is a beautiful spot 👍🎣

  • @funnysods
    @funnysods ปีที่แล้ว

    Nice vid Chris, that cod was a beauty. I wouldn't worry about bigger boats leaving the area. I've fished charter boats for years, been out and had very little, then watched one of your videos where you're fishing basically the same area, and you've had loads. I don't know if it's engine noise, wave slap on the hull or what, but you seem to be more consistent on the fish. I'm getting some of that Krill spray, seems a killer.

    • @onthedropfishing
      @onthedropfishing  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thanks William I’m glad you enjoyed it. I do think the engine noise makes a difference, like yourself I’ve been on a few charters in my time and think inshore it definitely makes a difference in the shallower water. Tight lines mate 👍🎣

      Hi Ernest, in this vid I’m using my Galaxy Sturgeon FX with a slot in motor, the motors are not available yet I’m just field testing this one.
      Rod is a Rovex Integra Gold and the reel is a penn spin fisher 2500.
      I like both the Suoernova and the Sturgeon but tend to use the Sturgeon more. Fish finder is a Lowrance hook reveal 5 👍🎣
