Absolutely top drawer video Dave, informative, enjoyable, Tope on top water, on the boat and underwater, absolutely brilliant Dave. One of the, if not the best Tope fishing video I have ever seen, this was well worth the wait, you should be proud of yourself mate 👏👏👏👏
❤️❤️❤️❤️ pat thank you so much I really appreciate it. I'm just so happy people are enjoying it, it worked the goal is achieved with this video. Thank you for your kind comments I do really appreciate it. Pat thank you

Thank you Stephen I really appreciate it and I'm happy you feel it worth the wait I'm amazing myself by some of the footage especially the under water footage it was amazing
Thank you Barrie I really appreciate your feedback not every video will be this long but I will definitely be doing more films I know and I didn't let go lol
Wow what a video by far the best tope fishing video I’ve seen an amazing days fishing could have watched another hour of that well done guys brilliant fishing
Thank you Lee be careful what you wish for there around 3 hours alone of tope runs lol I tried to pick the better clips but there is lots not in this video lol I'm really happy you liked it
A TRIP OF A LIFETIME, WELL DONE BOYS, EXCELLENT FOOTAGE WITHOUT THE AMERICAN HYPE. I HAVE MEMORIES LIKE THIS, BUT DIDN'T HAVE GO PRO'S OR MOBILE PHONES BACK IN THE DAY. WATCH ALL YOUR VIDS, MATE. THANK YOU. MEMORIES OF THIRTY BASS IN A TRIP FOR ME SOLO ON MY 21 FT TRUSTY BOAT. ONLY CAUGHT ONE TOPE IN MY LIFE AND WAS FROM SHORE.
Thank you rob I can imagine fishing was way better back then too. This session would be very hard to beat but we will try 😁 that's what is fisherman do. We loved every minute of it. Thank you again rob and I'm glad you enjoyed it
Well in !! What a session 👏 really enjoyed the underwater footage it was like something from the aquarium! Like your set up, ol abu suveran living up to its name. Keep up the good work 👍
Just finished watching this dave . And honestly could of watched hours more . What a great trip and plenty of species to be seen . Good to see cardigan Bay so busy . Top video mate 👌
Brilliant video. It was really interesting seeing how the tope swim around when your reeling a huss in and stuff, also in the upper levels when you had a Bream on. Brilliant footage mate, really is a class video. Well done, some fantastic fish brought aboard. 🦈🦈🦈🎣🎣🎣🏴🏴🏴
You hit the nail on the head there shamrock. Some days it's on fire a week later it's dead lol. Still watch this video my self now and again I love it and great memories. Hopefully be back catching them on my own newly rebuilt boat next year 🤞🤞🤞🤞
@@C3BFA looking forward to seeing you out on the new boat and hope you have a day to remember on the tope again. Havnt had a tope yet myself but have plans in place to catch one.
Congrats Dave brilliant video mate. One of the best I've seen to be honest. I've never caught a tope can only imagine the fight they give. Great insight to catching bait and then fishing with them. Cheers Dave great veiwing. Take care and tight lines 👍
Fantastic video Dave. This happened to us fishing of Mallin Head off Co. Donegal two years ago. It was manic!! I watch your video every day, Its a class act as Mark says. I have fished for Tope for 15 years now and the only advise I can give you is that you said in the video that you had gone through 10 traces. What we have experienced is that if you have a four foot wire trace (49 strand wire) 150lb. breaking strain, you will have no break off. I have seen tope bite through 100lb nylon. So my advise is use wire traces, it is so much better. 4 Feet of wire trace coupled with 8 feet of 150lb nylon for a rubbing leader, using coastlock swivels, it works every time. Keep up the good work, they are fantastic videos that you put up. If you want me to make you some up, send me your email address and I will get in touch with you for your address.
Thanks Brian. It wasn't the bite trace going it was the rubbing leader because tope where grabbing the bait that had blown up the line, I use 250lb mono bite trace and so far fingers crossed I have never lost a fish due to the bite trace. If you want to send me some to try I don't mind giving them a go always open to try different things and try out what people advise. Thanks for your kind words about the video I do really appreciate it Brian This is my email address below cardiganbayfishingadventures20@gmail.com
Bloody well done mate , That was a cracking days fishing . That underwater footage was very interesting and i cant wait to see more of it because i know theres more lol
well done Dave & Mark Great Video the Tope are Early on the Holderness coast this year mate as had a few only last week so ill be giving them a go tight lines Alain C / O Alain Storey Specialist Tackle
Thank you Alain. We always get huge packs of males early in the season if your lucky like we was you can land on a pack and have insane fishing hopefully we can do it again one day
20 something years ago, I fished with a club that used a charter boat from Aberystwyth (Alderbaren skippered by Dave Taylor) and the Tope fishing was fantastic! Miss those days, now fish for the Smoothounds from the north kent coast. Great video, enjoyed every bit! Must drag the boat over to Wales sometime ;-)
I fished with Dave on alderbaren he was a great skipper. The tope fishing can be amazing up there on the day it can kick off just like this video definitely my best day on the tope. Definitely get your boat up here it's worth it
He is a really nice bloke Dave is. No he retired quite a few years ago it's a shame he was a very good charter and really knew his stuff I would say now if you wanted to charter go to Aberdovey and book Charlie Bartlett if that's how you spell it he takes people after the tope and bream he is like Dave a very very good skipper and knows his stuff
@@C3BFA Dont realy do charters now I have my own boat. Dave landed my first Tope, still remember it now! Best fish I had ever caught up untill that time!
Same here seahog Hunter nothing like your own boat and having a good day I can totally agree with that. You can't be tope when you find them generally there easy to catch and they fight very well lb for lb
