Thank you for the corrections, the mini species are far from my usual catch. Using the light kit and catching the smaller stuff gives the same interaction only scaled down, what’s not to love. 🎣
Bravo. More of this Mark. It's a different branch of sea angling and superb way to bring youngsters into fishing and an interest in the wider marine environment. I'm sure there's thousands of us journeymen sea anglers that haven't much of a clue about these mini or juvenile species and what a great way to relax at a pier or jetty at the Great British Seaside. Cafe... .did someone mention a cafe 😂
It is already on my list of venues to return to before the summer crowds get too busy. Nice cooked breakfast and a few hours on the mini species before ending up chasing garfish under a float. There will be other videos similar but from different venues this year.
Hi Mark, I had a great time fishing off Swanage pier a few years ago and your film made me decide that I need to go again!! Thanks for jogging my memory.
Hello, Mark from across the pond! Just subscribed because I think you are the most unpretentious LRFer out there. I'm doing same here as you described and some online snobbies think I'm using bait is not LRF, like I care what they think. You sir proofs having fun fishing ALL that matters. Thumbs up!
the fish shown on 5.27 was a male corkwing wrasse, it had green wavy lines on its face.😁.. nice to see you doing a bit of lrf, my fav style and lots of fun.
Another great watch Mark. Looked so much fun im gunna go and get me a small rod and have a go. Its amazing how many different species there are down there. Look forward to your next vid. Keep it reel
Small hooks for the small species but they were also float fishing for Garfish. Baits were suspended about 9’ below the float and a very slow retrieve.
Looks like great fun.. I have Hythe peir near me but then stop the fishing on the peir years ago used to be great fishing there.. Great video again Mark 👍🎣🐟🐟
Brilliant Mark 😁 haven't heard you chuckling away like John Wilson so much for ages.... Id suggest you enjoyed that more than catching chesil cod.... Great fun vid mate
An amazing video Mark.😮Love the markings,🐠 and some absolutely amazing fins and eyes. 👀👁️ Lovely way to just chill and spend some time away from daily life.🎣 Sorry can't help with ID. ☹️ Take care and stay safe.😷🙊
@@seaangling Love the fact you took the time to show that family your catch👏👏👍. Bet they, like loads of others, had no idea what was in the sea there.😮😮 Take care and stay safe Mark.😷🙊
@@seaangling Hope so Mark. I don't tend to see young ones now like I did years ago. Mind you, a lot of the lads I used to fish with up here in the NE, have packed in, or gone puddle chucking. It's getting dire up here.
@@seaangling Hi Mark, glad to help if I can, some simple I.D. tactics, a Blenny has a continuous dorsal fin, a Goby has a split Dorsal fin, A Tompot has "eyebrows" and a Tompot without "eyebrows " is a Shanny/Common Blenny, couldn't see what Gobies you had but, your Wrasse I.D was pretty good apart from the "female" sandy coloured one, that had a faint black spot (I think) on top by the tail fin and makes it a Goldsinny Wrasse. hope this helps. I shall PM you soon.
Your excitement says it all ... I've recently started LRF and i love it
If you are using light enough gear the takes and rod knocks are amazing. Very addictive. 🎣
The Ballan Wrasse was a Corkwing Wrasse, and the Goby was a Tompot Blenny. Glad to see a traditional angler so excited by LRF :)

Great fun video Mark' And that's what is all about, I really enjoyed this video... Its a fun fishing video.... 😊❤
It made me feel like a kid again and proves it doesn’t have to all be about bigger and better. If you scale everything down the thrill is the same. 🎣

You remind me of John Wilson with his laughter, I always enjoy your enthusiasm for your sport.
Hi Paul, nice to have you watching and enjoying what I do. 🎣👍🏻

The cafe at the end of the pier do a full English breakfast 😉

Hi Kenny, who cares what the haters think. As long as you are getting out there and enjoying the experience. 🎣👍🏻
the fish shown on 5.27 was a male corkwing wrasse, it had green wavy lines on its face.😁.. nice to see you doing a bit of lrf, my fav style and lots of fun.
I am still learning these species as a lot of them are new to me so thank you for the I.D. 🎣👍🏻
Another great vid, not only good fun for us adults, but a great way to get the kids fishing
It is amazing for children as the bites come thick and fast with the variety of fish sparking their curiosity. And all of the above for me as well. 😗
Mark, Poole Quay is good for small species too. Just drop a line over the quay and start catching.
I’ll give it a go although a run back to Weymouth old stone pier is definitely on the cards.
LRF = good fun and loads of laughs 😁
Absolutely. 🎣👍🏻
Love fishing for small fish every now and then. Off the harbour wall at West Bay is one of my favs. I'll have to try this pier one day.
great video
Cheers Mike, it is amazing fun targeting these mini species. 🎣👍🏻
Great video Mark, micro fishing I’d good fun for the kiddies as well as us big kids, again you guys are spoilt down there cracking fishery you have
It is good entry stuff for the juniors and lots of fun. 🎣👍🏻
Cracking session mate, good watch👊🎣
Cheers Charlie, glad you liked it. Just sharing what I get up to 😉🎣👍🏻

It is loads of fun and with a light rod and line the bites look really aggressive. Have a play, you won’t regret it.
On holiday there in a weeks time, and I will be under the pier do the same !!!😀😀😀😀😀
Small hooks for the small species but they were also float fishing for Garfish. Baits were suspended about 9’ below the float and a very slow retrieve.
I must admit LRF isn’t my thing, but it is certainly a lot of fun. The phrase kid in a sweet shop comes to mind 😂😂🎣🐟
It isn’t my thing either but very enjoyable non the less.

Shame the pier isn’t available but the beaty of this type of fishing is any wall or structure could be a little gold mine of species. 🎣👍🏻🐟
@@seaangling I'm going to try and find some were 👍🎣🐟
one of those couldve been a bailoins wrasse! theyre about under there
I’m rubbish at idetifying wrasse. 😜
Fantastic video mate . Scorpion fish are harmless lol they don’t sting lol .
I had no idea and was relying on others around me for information but nice to know they are harmless. They did look amazing though. 🎣👍🏻🐟
Brilliant Mark 😁 haven't heard you chuckling away like John Wilson so much for ages.... Id suggest you enjoyed that more than catching chesil cod.... Great fun vid mate
With a whippy rod and very light gear it is amazing fun. For anyone that hasn’t tried it I challenge not to laugh when the rod tip goes mental. 😂😉🎣👍🏻
So did you enjoy LRF fishing? It’s none stop entertainment
I thoroughly enjoyed it and will be heading back again soon. Fancy coming next time?
@@seaangling absolutely
😊
An amazing video Mark.😮Love the markings,🐠 and some absolutely amazing fins and eyes. 👀👁️
Lovely way to just chill and spend some time away from daily life.🎣
Sorry can't help with ID. ☹️
Take care and stay safe.😷🙊
It is cheap, accessible and buckets of fun. I think a little battery powered aerator would rejuvenate the fish better for release.
@@seaangling Love the fact you took the time to show that family your catch👏👏👍. Bet they, like loads of others, had no idea what was in the sea there.😮😮
Take care and stay safe Mark.😷🙊
@@ianturner3033 who knows, they might be fishing there in the future or inspired to try somewhere else. 👍🏻
@@seaangling Hope so Mark. I don't tend to see young ones now like I did years ago. Mind you, a lot of the lads I used to fish with up here in the NE, have packed in, or gone puddle chucking.
It's getting dire up here.
First wrasse was a corkwing m8
Cheers buddy. Some garfish and mini species coming up soon.
No parts of a Scorpion Fish sting, they look fierce but are totally harmless. The minis are all I fish for now.
Alan, I may need some help with I.D’s. I’m rubbish at these.

Sorry Mark just had another look and, what I thought was a Goldsinny is in fact a Baillons Wrasse, my bad.
