- Back on the Anglesey rocks in search of a big tope. Weather looked decent for a couple of days so Rory and I headed down to Wales with the big rods in search of our first 'proper' tope. We had two unbelievable sunsets and for the most part the weather was spot on! Managed to get the DJI Mini 3 Pro up in the air for a quick fly down the coast as well. Enjoy.......
Thanks for watching!

Absolutely brilliant video mucker really enjoyed it. Well done on the tope fantastic result buddy.
Great watch. Take care buddy and tight lines 👍
Nice one mate, appreciate the comments 👍🏼
Hi mate wat area is that was thinking of coming up from South Wales and closest safe parking pls your tope catches and videos are amazing thank you 👍
Thanks for watching James 🙏🏼
Out of respect for the locals I won’t give any more details other than I’ve shown. A little bit of research will put you in the right areas. Seems the tope we’re about most places on West Anglesey last season tbh 👌🏼
how sea fishing has changed mackerel were always a lot bigger 20+ years ago and never saw tope off there but obv not impossible everything else though huss blond cuckoo spotted rays but that place was a stop off for mackie before you moved on there you were lucky to get a spot on the rock sometimes..happy days
Still the case mate, very busy lately! Generally the mackerel are of a decent size, but this week saw a load of small ones
Well done mate...cracking mark and a top notch fish...👍👍- I'll leave them to you though..😬😬 - Quality as ever - T🙂
Cheers fella. I’ll take you along for a session if you like! 😉
@@mboutdoors_uk cheers mate...I'll stick to the bait...!!🤪🤪
What rods and reels do you use I'm thinking about buying some gear
Hi and thanks, MB Outdoors for sharing.
Wow...it seems rough with high waves and winds...3:19

Well done. Thank you for bringing me excitement to my living room. 🙋♀🙋♀🛶🛶
I learned the bond between you and your dog.
Thank you for your kind comments 😊
@@mboutdoors_uk My Pleasure...keep coming
Hi mate great video. Just wondering do you use fixed spool and braid for tope fishing? I am thinking of converting back from multiplier to fixed spool as there is less to go wrong with them.
Hi mate. Yes I use both fixed spool and braid. Mainly because I’ve never cast with a multiplier and have always used fixed spool in my coarse angling. I’m pretty sure I can cast further with a fixed as well. I use 30lb mainline and a 60lb leader. Had no problems all season using this set up. Other than silly mistakes I’ve made but which would have happened whatever I was using. Hope that helps pal, stay lucky 👌🏼
@@mboutdoors_uk 30lb braid and 60lb braided leader? The trouble with multiplier is a lot can go wrong and you find that you concentrate on thumbing the line back on and setting the reel up..with fixed spool reels just chuck like plug and play. Modern fixed spool reels are a new breed, stronger, excellent line lay and like you said can cast further as they come with shallower tapered spools and are faster on the retrieve
You could just use the 60lb braid straight through without leader if it is just braid. Also was it a carp rod you used to land the 30lb tope??
I’ve had all last years tope on a Sonik SKS Black 14ft. I wouldn’t fancy tackling a tope on carp rods tbh. I’ve just respooled with 60lb braid for a Scottish skate so think I’ll stick with that tbh 👌🏼
@MB Outdoors was just curious as I could only vaguely see the rod at first and thought it had less eyes and thin in diameter but just seen the rods during the last third of the video. 60lb braid sounds good.
Tactics are perfect that my type fishing
We’ll keep trying until we get a real big one off the rocks or maybe even the shore! 🤞🏼
Where do you stay overningt? Camper?
I'm only an hour down the road but it would be nice to stay the night to avoid the hour commute at 4am.
Yeah camper van or sometimes on a beach. I live in Manchester so with fuel prices being bananas at the moment it’s got to be at least a couple of days stay
@@mboutdoors_uk Lucky you having a camper mate, they're quite rare now unless you buy brand new.
Yes the fuel price is an issue but getting better slowly.
Think it'll be a tent for me as there's quite a few good spots for it not far away from where you were fishing.

@@richardjones2811 we had the bedchairs out under the stars this week. Lovely when it’s definitely going to stay dry 👌🏼
Tope Rock 😉
😉
tope rock always known as mackie rock amazing how sea fishing has changed never used to see tope off there
@@davelar3868 It is known as Mackerel Rock but I think Richard didn't want to give the mark away.
Trust me there aint a blade of grass on the island that I dont recognise I knew were it was in the opening shots! But as I have said it strange to see the way shore fishing has changed is it net sizes EU fishing policies or just the fact commercial fishing vessels can't afford the running costs???
🦈 💜
Why dont you just eat the Mackerel and leave the Tope to chill? No offence, just a question.
@Tim BC2 No one was talking to you Tim.
Eat the Mackerel FFS
