Well done. What a way to start a session.😲 3 casts 3 species.👏 I love the markings on dogfish.🥺 It looks like a good mark, 🤫and you learnt a lot.🧑🎓 Have a great holiday Alex. All the best to you and your family. Thanks for sharing, take care and stay safe.😷🙊
Superb . . . congratulations . . . really well done, and thank you! I was THERE, with you on that beach. I think that you should make the short trip to Skegness more often. I am really looking forward to your adventures again in Anglesey. Woohoo Alex!
Owdoo fella... New subscriber but watched a fair few of your videos... Like you're straight talking no nonsense way you go about your fishing.. Always a good watch, and respect the way you touch on mental health issues.. It's hard to speak up when you're a proud bloke who's going through a bit of a tough time, I know.. Top bloke, and a good dangler.. Tight lines Mr. 👍
Thanks Stephen, welcome along! Yeah that's just it mate it's part swallowing the pride and part breaking the stigma. But there's certainly no stigma or egos around here pal!!
Just brilliant. I love how real your videos are. Focus, oh well. Dogfish... treats it with nice respect. You are a lovely person and your videos are something I always look forward to. Tight lines mate.
Hi mate, cheers for the vid to chill out to nice one. Nice bsss on the shot gun rod and close in. Sometimes i think we cast over the fish. I fished there last summer n managed 2 bass. All the best from GRIMSBY.
@The Awful Angler Yep. And now evenings are getting longer and warmer it's even better. If you get the chance whilst over Anglesey way, call in to Aberdyfi and fish the river estuary on the flood for the Bass. Similar to Barmouth, but prettier in my opinion.
Good lad, love your videos keeps me busy while a can't get out. Nice bass just goes to show you don't need to be miles out to get good fish. Look forward to more videos tight lines bud
Another cracking vid mate. I liked the bass, cought my one any only one a bit further south at Cromer as was stationed in North Norfolk at the time..... got more puncture wounds than a good acupuncture session 😂, learned a lesson there !.... in my defence we dont get many bass in the North of Scotland..... looking forward to the next vid
I'll swap you a bass session for a skate session any day haha! They're good sport to be fair, especially as they seem to be growing in size and numbers down here.
You certainly get around Alex....nice bass on light gear....only fished there once for smuts in summer,must get back over......keep the vids coming laaaa
Cheers Kev! Yeah I was talking to a lad who said it's smut central in summer. I was planning south wales for the hounds and rays, but might venture here if I can borrow keys to the inlaelws caravan
Nice one Alex 👍 I had one about 50 cm on pretty much the same setup Thurs eve while worming, an old 8ft spinning rod and even older cheap plastic abu cardinal that flexes with any load on it 🤣 I put that back too, I don't think they're very tasty this time of year after spawning. Might see you around next week to grab my free hoodie for advertisement purposes 🤣🎣
Bass love it shallow. Some of my best were only a few feet out, right in the breakers! But yeah I agree, so close to spawning they're not as good as later in the season. A bit like lamb and mutton if you ask me. Haha it might be a small island but the options are endless when it comes to venues 🤣 if you do find me you deserve a free beanie 😉
@@theawfulangler haha, I mostly just walk local and chuck one out these days so unlikely, there's always something to catch and I don't like following the sheep. Roughly where are you staying? I'm on east side its quite rough this morning.
Fished that area since i was a kid, when you pointed north up the beach thats chapel point had lots of good sessions and bad in the past, sandilands and trusthorpe are my next fave's just a bit further north towards mablethorpe.had plenty of tope on in the past never landed any of them lol, so theres a chalenge for you, nice videos by they way fishing as it is, tight lines👍
Thanks Terry! Always good to get local knowledge rather than winging it (as much as I enjoy the challenge). I think we may have to discuss commandeering the inlaws caravan when they're away 😉
Another cracking vid ,informative and fun ,wat more could a viewer want ,o and by the way , I asked your opinion on the fury ,cause I was ordering 1, u like yours ,I love mine , heck of a rod for the money thanks for the advice, tight lines as always , 😀
Used to fish there years ago, mostly near the point, fishing was usually best from and hour before to 2 hours after high tide, it was often best just as the high tide turned!!!!
Same as that on or near the point can anyone remember the old lady who kept the cafe on the point car park she was a absolute star in winter she lived across the road n told us to go knock on door anytime up to 22/30 n she'd fill up the flasks with hot water or tea best money ever spent .we run over from ilkeston every other w/end then the worm beds got bad so we moved up coast to cayton bay n Jackson's happy days n what memories n I get as much a buzz watching you there as if I was there
Nice video pal! 👍 One of my favourite venues for the Smuts in the summer. We've got a week booked there in August 🤞for Westerlies. Loads of rays coming out at perch Rock.
Thanks mate! Yeah a few have said this, so I think when the inlaws come back home, we will nick the keys to their van 😉 I should be fishing Anglesey right now, but currently a stones throw from Perch at Alder Hey with Jack 🙄
That's my thoughts behind it, Mick. There's something like a 3mile exclusion zone around, so that's a pretty good barrier created. Let's see what happens in years to come 🤞🏼
Just an observation but if we know that Whiting are so hard to put back why do people drag them a hundred yards up a beach before unhooking them? Surely it would be better for the fish if you walked to the waters edge and lifted the fish rather than drag them up? I know I don't drag any fish up like that to try my best to avoid damaging them regardless of size or species.
Thanks Simon! Always worth having a scratching rod in really close. Hoodies are £30. I have an order going in at the end of this week, then I think that will be the last one for hoodies.
Nice video bud did you park in the car park before the fishing lakes I’ve fished at trunch lane a few times but not recently really good for the hounds when there in keep the video coming bud
Great video and some interesting idea’s especially with the spinning rod . Given the visibility would you ever try with lures? Where about 15 miles up the coast , bass are caught but never tried lures
I always think it has to be crystal clear for lures to work. So usually that means rock marks or shingle beaches where there's little-no sand to get stirred up. Not sure I've ever been on a sandy beach in the UK that's stayed calm enough to be clear haha
I used to get bass on lures about 20 years ago in that area, needed to have a surf & not as coloured water as in this session, i used to fire them out clipped down on beachesters with a 4oz lead and sometimes i would use lugworm but as a lure, sounds crazy but if the bass are in you could snag quite a few, i did see a kid with a cheap £10 spinning rod catch a 9lb bass off Skegness 10 yards out on a spinner! we would shoot the lures at angles along the beach they could be in that close! Huttoft bank was good for bass too on lures! Conditions needed to be right, that was the main thing.
@@Rick356A Going over to the coast next week and definitely going to take the lure rod and if conditions look right going to give it a go . Great to hear that it has worked and so going to get “Off the fence” and give it a go 👍
Good luck, it can be tough on that bit of coast but when it is just right it can be a great day, i had my best bass day on a sunny mid October day!!!!@@chriskendall6089
hi brill videos mate just wondering what make is the small van im 5.11 and wonting a van so i can get out and get some fishing in keep up the good work mate
My van is a transit connect mate! I have the SWB, so being 6ft 4 I have to open the cargo hatch and stick my feet through it 😅 I keep thinking to trade it for a LWB version which would be ideal, but mines so good I don't want to trade it for a stinker.
Organised chaos seems to work. Like the way you get them back in asap. Good vid, well done. Not so awful you may need to change your title, to be kind to fish. ?
Thanks Anthony! Yeah I find peace in the chaos, worries me sometimes 🤣 If you're not going to keep a fish, it's got to go back ASAP, quick snap and send it on its way. If you're going to keep them dispatch as quickly as possible. I wouldn't want someone dragging me in to the water and messing about with me for minutes on end just to chuck me on the bank 🤣
Well done. What a way to start a session.😲
3 casts 3 species.👏
I love the markings on dogfish.🥺
It looks like a good mark, 🤫and you learnt a lot.🧑🎓
Have a great holiday Alex.
All the best to you and your family.
Thanks for sharing, take care and stay safe.😷🙊
Dogfish get a bad press, but they're stunning fish in their own right! Cheers Ian!
Right time, right place, right tactics and bait. Well done
Cheers Scott mate 👍🏼
Superb . . . congratulations . . . really well done, and thank you! I was THERE, with you on that beach. I think that you should make the short trip to Skegness more often. I am really looking forward to your adventures again in Anglesey. Woohoo Alex!
Thanks Russel!
It was a good venue, its just a PITA to get to. It's closer than the holderness but mainly A roads which means its an hour longer 😔
Great video mate very nice little bass there and love your dogs. Tight lines.
Cheers buddy 👍🏼
Thanks for sharing again and some lovely fish 🐠
Cheers Paul!

That my boy is a damn good reason to visit the in laws 😂 brilliant to see you out m8
Too right Steve, might start visiting more often 🤣
Nice bass and lovely video keep them coming
Cheers Mumtaz 👍🏼
Fantastic episode buddy well done.
Cheers Graham@
Just brilliant. I love how real your videos are. Focus, oh well. Dogfish... treats it with nice respect. You are a lovely person and your videos are something I always look forward to. Tight lines mate.
Really appreciate the kind words, thank you 😊
Lovely Bass you got there Alex. Looking forward to the Anglesey vids.
Thanks Leon! I'm looking forward to the fishing too 😄
Hi mate, cheers for the vid to chill out to nice one. Nice bsss on the shot gun rod and close in. Sometimes i think we cast over the fish. I fished there last summer n managed 2 bass. All the best from GRIMSBY.
Cheers Carl! Yeah, I've had plenty of bass on the short scratching rod so definitely easy to cast over the fish!
Nice little session with a decent Bass to start with. Good to see the real stars of the show are back Eric & Max. All the best Gordon.
Haha you never know mate they may star in a couple of the Anglesey vids too if they play their cards right
Good session. It's not for how long you fish, but the fact that you did. Good mixed bag with a nice Bass.
That's just it mate! Sometimes a one hour session can be just as good for the soul as an 8hour session
@The Awful Angler Yep. And now evenings are getting longer and warmer it's even better.
If you get the chance whilst over Anglesey way, call in to Aberdyfi and fish the river estuary on the flood for the Bass. Similar to Barmouth, but prettier in my opinion.
Nice session have a good holiday in Anglesey 🤞👍🏻
Thanks Robert. Managed to wet a line today, promising good things for the rest of the week 🤞🏼
Super video, really enjoyed it. Great to see the Bass, brilliant stuff on a light rod.
Thanks Bill
Cracking couple of hours mate 👍
Thanks mate!
Cracking session, nice one 👍👍🤠
Cheers buddy!
Good lad, love your videos keeps me busy while a can't get out. Nice bass just goes to show you don't need to be miles out to get good fish. Look forward to more videos tight lines bud
That's just it mate! Keep it simple and no need to be throwing a lead 300yds...not that I can 🤣
Good to see you catching!
Thanks Nicola
Nice little session ,great video again buddy👍
Thanks Mick 👍🏼
Glad to see your back at it and in fine form buddy.

We're in Penysarn pal. I've realised I've got loads of marks on the south / west coast, so it's good to be exploring new marks again.
@@theawfulangler ah yes, if you mean the one on the island I went to primary school there 🤣
Good luck👍
Great fishing session and i nice Bass to start off with.

Great video again mate, decent little session. I’ve never seen a rod bend so much with a pin whiting 🤣
I tell me about it, I thought I was in to something reasonable only for that thing to wash up 🤣
Great video really enjoyed very informal
Thanks for watching Jeffrey 👍🏼
Great vid as always buddy stay safe out there
Cheers pal! Back down your neck of the woods soon hopefully
cracking little session mate bang on video👍
Thanks buddy!
good to eventually get subscribed perfect for someone who is moving from course fishing to beach well done and keep pushing the mental health message
Welcome David! Sea is so much better than course 😉 just remember, do as I say not as I do! I'm the awful angler for a reason haha
Brilliant,you can’t fault that,and skeggy to boot
No it was a good little session that 👍🏼
Another cracking vid ,informative and fun ,wat more could a viewer want ,o and by the way , I asked your opinion on the fury ,cause I was ordering 1, u like yours ,I love mine , heck of a rod for the money thanks for the advice, tight lines as always , 😀
Glad you're enjoying the fury John! I'm trying to track down the power tip for mine, apparently takes it to a whole other level 🤔
@@theawfulangler let me know how that goes plz 🙏
I will! I'm also tempted to go after tope with mine while I'm on Anglesey. That might be a stretch too far though 😕
@The Awful Angler certainly a gd test just hope it don't go bang 😕
Did you get msg about fury power tip u was lookin for
Nice session mate
Thanks Keith
Used to fish there years ago, mostly near the point, fishing was usually best from and hour before to 2 hours after high tide, it was often best just as the high tide turned!!!!

Great to hear mate thanks! It's one of those runs that isn't bad when the traffic is OK, but hit bad traffic it's quicker to get to Scotland 😂
Nice bass, well done
Thanks Neil
Well done brother, I'd of eaten that bass! It's my favourite 😂
I was tempted but knowing we are in Anglesey this next week, should be plenty of chance of a fish supper 😋
@@theawfulangler look forward to watching you at Anglesey, I love fishing there 😜👍
now thats a proper sesh short and to the [hook] point!!
Pity it wasn't a match!!!
Loving the pun! Yeah I think there are plenty of comps over that way, but this was just a night before type of trip
Nice video pal! 👍
One of my favourite venues for the Smuts in the summer. We've got a week booked there in August 🤞for Westerlies.
Loads of rays coming out at perch Rock.
Thanks mate!
Yeah a few have said this, so I think when the inlaws come back home, we will nick the keys to their van 😉
I should be fishing Anglesey right now, but currently a stones throw from Perch at Alder Hey with Jack 🙄
@@theawfulangler Oh dear! Hope it not too serious 😱
Thanks mate! Looking like a hernia and back on Thursday for an op. So maybe fish Perch after, all being well 😬
@@theawfulangler straight squid or squid and mac wrap and chuck it as far as you can! Seem to get most rays about 1.5 hours before low at the moment.
Cheers buddy! See what happens later in the week!
what a brilliant short session 🤩
Cheers Mel!
Great video
Thanks 👍🏼
Nice Bass fella
Cheers buddy 👍🏼
The depth testers are an amazing invention .
They're also good for currents. Just need to train them to sniff out the fish 😅
Well done
Thanks Carl
Perhaps those Windmills are creating a great breeding ground away from the Trawlers?
That's my thoughts behind it, Mick. There's something like a 3mile exclusion zone around, so that's a pretty good barrier created. Let's see what happens in years to come 🤞🏼

It's a fair comment mate, I'll try better in the future
Great video mate good work on the bass I might try the lure rod this afternoon, and how much for a hoodie 👍
Thanks Simon! Always worth having a scratching rod in really close.
Hoodies are £30. I have an order going in at the end of this week, then I think that will be the last one for hoodies.
