Catch Fish in Southampton Water: ENSIGN WAY North

Another in a series on shore fishing in Southampton Water, Hampshire (UK).
This video covers 2 daytime sessions in November at Ensign Way (filmed on 29.11.23 and 30.11.23), fishing the eastern side of Southampton Water. The first session was a disaster, with several bigger fish lost and none landed; the second was just about a success with three out of five bites hit and those fish landed. The video focuses on the mistakes made in the first session and how these were rectified in the second; with changes made to the rigs used and approach. Rig and venue details are covered.

[@motorsnutts6594]

Great to have one of your videos up again sir, I find with fishing it will go well when not expecting anything special, but if I go with expectations all sorts will definitely go wrong regardless of there is any fish , I hope your 2024 fishing goes well mate, appreciate your efforts 👍🏼👍🏼

[@rodsangleuk6283]

Yes, that's how it goes sometimes! Thanks again.

[@billstone3629]

Nice video and great to have you back on the beach, you have been missed. Some great tips and reinforces the importance of reflecting on why things aren’t working and changing your approach.

[@rodsangleuk6283]

Cheers Bill!

Possibly the Finn leads for here, I have a few but rarely take out. Thanks for the video and as always great analysis and detail of rigs.

A good idea and thanks for your kind words.

Nice vid mate

[@rodsangleuk6283]

Thanks Steve.

[@user-wl6cx1up9z]

Put 2or3worms on each hook give them something to find and don't strike at the first sign of a bite with Flounder

[@rodsangleuk6283]

Thanks for the advice; however I try to avoid deep hooking fish - one reason for using braid and striking early. Fish were on, but I 'bumped' them off when the trailing hook or lead got caught by the oysters on the retrieve, which I didn't know about until seeing them at low tide.

[@user-wl6cx1up9z]

If you keep getting snagged move a few yards to avoid

[@rodsangleuk6283]

A good idea.

[@pjcollins1885]

Hi there watch all yout vids wealth of infomstion,im looking to go plaice fishing the weekend im in london looking to go kent way or sussex anyone recomend some places all the best pat

[@rodsangleuk6283]

Might still be a bit early for them; but they tend to show up first around Brighton, with the marina being your best bet; if it's open. They then come in closer and are caught from the Banjo area. Other than that Eastbourne or Hythe may be worth trying. Need clear water after several days of calm conditions. Good luck!

[@pjcollins1885]

Thanks for your reply help and adivce hoping to get out and give it a go

[@emranhussain4977]

Hi - please could you tell me what tripod you are using
