I'm still watching all your vids , bless to see your growth over time top dangler top yt creator big you up and tight lines
Cheers buddy 🎣👍🏻
Glad the pre whipped baits worked for you Mark. Always do for me, especially fish baits as any I don’t use I just re freeze them and they just seem to get more scent each time and are still easy to thread on a hook. Another good vid mate with some great info.. 👍
Steve Coops I’ve been doing exactly that as I hate to waste bait.
Every time i watch your clips. I feel excited and i want to fish and i want to come with you❤ and catch and see fish and learn🎉❤best wishes ❤278
I’m glad you enjoy the films. 🎣👍🏻
I frikkin love west bexington, lovely fishing down there.
Another great video Mark👌keep them coming tight lines👍
MRPrimosynchro thank you, next 2 videos are sorted and will release at 19:00 on Fridays. I’m working on the next few with some lure/spinning planned but weather dependant.
Good video pity about the lack of cod , certainly seem to be plenty of whiting about nice 2lb'er though, tight lines.
Michael Bird I didn’t see any cod come out that day but there could have been some further along the beach.
I went a step further with my frozen baits, I tested some line and the hooks I use by leaving some in the freezer for a few days, then left them to thaw out all seemed ok and very strong, so I not only pre-rapped the frozen bait, I used my bait building needle and wrapped them onto the snood/hook as well, I clip instead of tying my snoods so I can change them easier if needs be, so rod out, reel on, clip trace on, clip 2/3 frozen snoods with baits already on the hooks, bob's your uncle.
Danny O, that takes preparation to a whole new level and very clever. What species are you targeting with the prepared baits?
Mark Williams Sea Angling, I find pre baiting makes it easier if night fishing. on the south east coasts Reculver, Folkestone, Dungeness, Dover, Deal Hastings etc there is always an outside chance of cod, mainly whiting, dog fish, eels and some Rays still about, nothing to exciting our end. Summer months are better, plenty of smooth-hounds, bass, Dover sole, plaice, and thorn backs.
fantastic weather great video
Amazing Fishing UK, it was a cracking session and we were spoilt by the weather.
I was there in 2002 almost that exact spot where you have your beachcasters I used a six hooker with squid and ragworm and after 20 minutes caught 2 mackerel at once that was a day to remember seeing that the beach was full of other people fishing who had caught nothing all day. It's so good when you get the upper hand that way such a good feeling.
Adrian, where do you normally fish? I love fishing down in Dorset.
HI Mark the last fishing I did was down in Falmouth it was very busy and I crossed lines with others fishing not much room there so I haven't done it for a few years but when this virus is over I will get back into it need to get some better rods .I hope to catch up with you one day.
adrian ricketts there is no better way of self isolating than on a beach, fishing. 👍🏻
Great filming,thank you
Cheers, thank you 👍🏻
Mark just read one of your comments about flounder. If your searching for them then it might be worth taking a trip to s.wales loughor estuary. The fishing for them there is absolutely brilliant. And some cracking size ones aswell. So if your looking for a trip give it a go.
Anthony Llewellyn I’ll check it out on the map as I’m willing to travel. Do you have a specific mark in mind?
Under loughor bridge so dry even when its raining. Excellent fishing there mark. And town and country stores not to far so you can get your mud rag from.
Anthony, I’ll check it out on google maps
Very entertaining mate, I’ve been trying a little tubing on the pulley rig, still the odd tangle, might give extra beads a go 👍🏻
I’m really pleased you liked it, I am trying to get better with the filming stuff. The 3 beads worked well for me on the pulley rig and well worth a try.
Great Mark love Whiting, I take quite a few home for the pot so target them most trips. Fisho did a great video on them using cubes of mackerel. He's another You tube vlogger if you don't already I suggest watching him for tips etc all the best pal keep them coming 🐟👍😁
Martin, I’m a big fan of Fisho and love his channel. I do take the odd whiting when they are sizeable and after filleting them I sprinkle them with chilli flakes, cover in cling film and put in the fridge overnight. Cooked the next day in 50/50 oil&butter.
doint mind tings when they are that size.
good stuff chap.
keep it up.
👍🏼🎣👌🏼
Thank you. I must admit it was a pleasant surprise and larger than the others i've caught recently.
Again Mark, love the channel! I also really like your ethos.
Fancy a trip to chesil in the spring? Compare tactics etc? Always good to meet more like minded fisherman. Tight lines.
Absolutely, i'm always interested in meeting like minded people and sharing information. Chesil is one of my favourite venues.
Really enjoyed that mark. So many of these yt anglers set themselves up as gurus, but you come over as a pretty bog standard Joe angler, just like the rest of us, just doing your best, trying to avoid that blank. Makes the video way more entertaining. We are essentially arm chair fishing, and who wants to go fishing with a know it all twat, you go with your chilled out mate. Subbed!
Cheers Geoff, I really appreciate that as I understand I’m learning and loads of people interact and help. Glad you enjoy watching. 👍🏻
Nailed it Geoff, plenty of the type who actually invented fishing, discovered and documented and illustrated every known fish, freshwater and sea, and should really have patents on EVERY knot you could possibly tie. I can't even get through 5 minutes of their videos!
Mark, as you say, is the chap who you merrily chat away to on a beach, not even realising his friendly persona is imparting valuable info that is going to improve your catch rate exponentially!
Mark, do I win a t-shirt? 🤔
😁😁😁
Just subscribed. Great video's, keep up the good work.
Tony The Squid thank you, 2 videos ready for release. Hordle Cliffs small eyed ray tonight and Browndown Bass next Friday. 👍🏻
Great video again mark. Nice to see you mentioned a few commenters lad. Good luck matey with the next video matey.
Thank you for the support Jay and it is only right to acknowledge people that are helping me to improve. Next video is “small eyed ray” from Hordle Cliffs. Due out next Friday.
Cracking video again mate. I love whiting, and that 2lb er was a beauty! First time I've ever heard a dogfish referred to as "butch" too - I now have this crazy mental image of a dogfish with a handlebar moustache! 😂😂😂
Simon, thank you and sorry if my description has mentally scared you.
If you like the videos please subscribe and hit the bell 🔔 icon for notification of new releases. I endeavour to release at 18:00 on Fridays.
You should give Bournemouth a go buddy good fishing here never failed to catch
David Gabb I do fish Southbourne and Hordle. The next video to release is Hordle.
@@seaangling nice buddy theres been some cod caught off boscombe pier
Gar fish is a top bait for flat fish too at Hillhead
I have tried gar with little success. Sprats is a new bait to me and I’ve heard is a good bait for the Solent.
@@seaangling ill be sure to try them next time out thanks 😊
great video mate im new to sea fishing i love the vids. great session
Blackanpink what area are you based and what type of sea fishing do you do?
@@seaangling i used to do a little boat fishing with my dad, but we have moved to the shore since he sold it, i have been only a few times and love it, im based in Essex and have been trying the river Blackwater with some mild success
Blackanpink what species to you catch there, I’m guessing bass and flounder?
@@seaangling this time of year has mainly been whiting, practising for a bit before i venture out to other places, i appreciate your videos as i am learning from them, so thank you.
Excellent video Mark. The whiting seem to be stealing the show on the cod vids lately......
the kid hello and thank you for the kind words. We seem to be fighting the whiting all the way lately but on a positive side, at least they are there and some are sizeable. Hard to get a bait past them though.
Great video mate subd
Gowersghost, thank you
great vid ,nice whiting ,and thanks for the mention , and dont put your digi scales near any magnets ,it stops them working ,took me 2 sets to find this out .
you are welcome
Great video! Always a pleasure! Still waiting for my Chesil trip... Because of adulting, I'm not there till later in December 😢 keep up the good work, looking forward to my next notification!
Anglingaddict 75 where are you based?
@@seaangling I'm based in Portsmouth.
Anglingaddict 75 if travel is an issue there is almost always room in the car/van if you want to jump in with us.
@@seaangling Thank you very much! It's not travel that an issue to be fair... Its work😉 be cool to join ya one of these times though!
Anglingaddict 75 look forward to it.
They are great jackets mark I got mine a cpl weeks ago imax must b worth having shares in 😂😂😂
Did you go for the trousers as well? Everything doubles up around your core which really helps with keeping warm when it is really cold.
No just the jacket mate an good luck with the flounder bash hythe pier used to be a good mark for them but haven't been there for a few years
Wayne Swatton it has been really pleasing to see a few flounder caught in Southampton water after being really scarce for a few years. I managed to winkle one out from Weston shore recently but I have a plan for a trip soon to an area that used to be prolific. I’m hoping to do a film there soon.
I will look forward to watching it mark
And any trips down to the Welsh coast lol
scott Harris that area is on the list but ideally we need a local to guide us. Would love to visit the area.
@@seaangling well if you ever want to do west Wales Pembrokeshire. That's my neck of the woods
scott Harris I may well take you up on that.
@@seaangling how did the competition go
scott Harris it was my first competition and I managed “largest fish” and some prize money. 🐟💰🎣Managed to lose a shock leader and a rig on the last cast of the night after getting snagged up 🤬
Some nice whiting need a few down this way
Trojs Fishing do you not get any down your way?
I quite like eating them but usually only take one or two for the table.
Good video bud. Do you ever fish the bristol channel? Tite lines 👍
I have never fished the Bristol Channel but I would like to and feel that is top of my list for next year. Ideally I am looking for someone who would "guide" me at least for the first trip.
@@seaangling fair few cod coming out down here bud. 17 lb came out last week. Give me a shout if you do fish it buddy
What length of rods do u use and size of reels ????
14’ rods for most of my fishing on open beaches and currently using Penn fathom multipliers although I do use 12’ rods for estuary and 8000 size fixed spool.
They look very nice salopettes?? What are they called imax ??
IMAX Thermo Suit.
Great I've almost watched all 100 videos 🤣🤣🤣👌
Going chesil jan 3rd and 4th jan 2023
That is long duration planning, I hope the weather is kind. 🎣
So you had the Penn surfblas 2 reels now and used them a few times what's Ur honest opinion on them . Are they worth it ?
scott Harris I really like them and was impressed right from the start when I unboxed them. I wanted to use them for a while to see if they had any flaws, I haven’t found any yet. I also wanted some longevity to accurately report how good the finish was and it is early days yet but it looks promising. A couple more trips and I’ll do an in-depth review but early impressions are good. Also worth mentioning that they are matched up to 4.50m rods and this helps as they compliment each other.
@@seaangling thanks mark. So tempted to order one .
scott Harris I don’t think you will be disappointed. There are some good deals about.
@@seaangling was looking at that site you sent me as my local bait / angling centre want £120 a reel
I'm all for supporting your local shops but at that price difference no wonder why people are shopping online
Hi mark like the happy attitude ...subscribed 👍👍if you ever fancy somthing a little different your more than welcome( free of course)out on my boat fishing out of oban Scotland common skate etc 👍👍😉keep the vids coming and tight lines
I lived in Glasgow for a few years and drove the length of the country on a weekly basis.
That is a very kind offer and I would be more than happy to pay my way on a trip. What is the seasonal window for skate?
@@seaangling hi mark ,sorry not got back (the Joy's of working on a fishing boat ) as for skate there is no season ..its up to 800ft deep only a couple of miles out so don't think the air temp etc makes much difference 👍only problem is the weather in winter reduces your chance to get out 😟
oban fisher that sounds like fishing that is nothing close to what I am use to but I am intrigued.

C'mon. guys, isn't it the very least you can do to say thanks for the time, effort, and expense, that goes into making these videos???
