Hi Chris, pleased you kept a couple of vids from last year. Excellent session with plenty fish coming aboard, and especially that fine Pollock. Looking forward to the next one. Cheers pal. Arthur.
Hi mate, great session and great to watch ! 😃 . I have only been kayak fishing for 5 months now and I'm learning so much by listening to , ..and watching your videos . Great viewing and please keep making these vids 😉😃👍
Hiya mate, I love this channel, I've been kayak fishing for 3 years now, been out about 10 times 😳 with work and weather, it's so difficult, don't so much watch fish getting caught, listen to what's been said about the weather etc, and watch him on the kayak, it's not easy to get comfy on a yak and confident but ya can.
Sad times I think I watch every one of our sea fishing videos now 😔 can't wait for the summer to try our fishing spots out top channel loved all ur videos ❤️ to
This is MrBear from florida that is i think, got up at 6:30 are time and there was a 1/2 inch of ice in my bird bath ,and this is florida. well happy new year to you and yours.
A Sunday night treat Chris, great sesh with some nice fish and weather...last April looked lovely, lets hope the same for this year? Looking forward to more vids to come, take care.
It was a late start to the season last year Andy, this vid was April 19th and was one of the first “proper” sessions of the year. Fingers crossed we get less storms this spring 🤞 🎣
Hi Chris, great video as always, I was wondering what you put on your connections of your fish finder and how often you apply it , just getting kitted out for my first season and your channel has been a great help, cheers alan……….THE DAWN CHORUS PLOT 🌿
Hi Alan, they just get a quick squirt of WD40 every couple of weeks and that’s about it to be honest. Hope you catch plenty on your first trip and tight lines matey 👍🎣
Hi Chris I bet your itching to get back on the water, bad weather stops you I understand, what area have got in mind,...I really enjoyed port Logan any chance of going back. Tight lines mate
Hi John mate, work has eased off a little from today so I’ve got my nose firmly in the weather apps and I’m itching to go! Two venues in mind St Abbs or Port Logan as it happens! The weather will decide which one 👍🎣
Hiya pal, enjoying the video's which I have just came across... you may have done it before but could you give a run down off what kit you wear, carry and your safety set up etc please. Notice you have a vest with various "things on it. A run quick run through would be superb. Was watching the St Abbs trip used to go there with my Dad when i was a young lad, some real life long memories from that special place....cheers
Hi mate, I often include the kit in the content, but I’ll do a full run down of safety equipment in one of my next vids for you. St Abbs is a beautiful spot isn’t it. I always enjoy my days up there. Glad you’re enjoying the channel, loads more to come this year 👍🎣
Nice day fishing that was Chris, my freezer would have been full if I'd have been there with you . Tell me please, how big does a codling have to be before it is called a cod ?.
Cheers mate, it’s sticky baits bait spray. As I say I’m not sure it makes that much difference but it can’t be doing any harm can it! Give it a go and find out eh 👍🎣
Hi pal, thanks for the video..brilliant .I bought the trolling motor for my galaxy explorer. I usually fish for perch and pike on lochs.. wanting to do some sea fishing. So any advice on t 10:26 he size of rod and do u use braid or mono..thanks again..love the videos keep it up
Hi mate, I’m glad you enjoyed the vid. I use 20-40g rods around the 7ft mark. Braid is key for me lure fishing. I’m currently using 0.13mm Spiderwire Stealth Smooth 👍🎣
Hi mate, if you’re using it in the sea be sure to get something around 12ft or more. Don’t skimp on the safety gear either. VHF, PFD, Drysuit etc. Tight lines pal 👍🎣
Morning Chris Did you manage to get out on the water, at st Abbas I noticed the wind speed was 17 mph at port Logan, which leads me to the question, what do you look at to make decisions for safe kayak fishing. Tight lines mate
Hi mate, no I didn’t. I’ll be watching the weather all week and calling it last minute. I need a gentle wind from the shore of less that 10 mph for a few days to settle the sea 👍🎣
Hi mate, I’m glad you’re enjoying the channel. If one doesn’t go back for whatever reason it 100% gets munched but most of the time I fish catch and release 👍🎣
Another cracking video bud, couple questions where do you buy your lures and what drysuit do you have, I'm looking one for this year and know nothing about them
Hi mate, I’m glad you enjoyed it. The drysuit is a Typhoon PS330 and the lures come from everywhere and anywhere. I get them from eBay, Amazon, Ali Express etc, I get sent quite a few as well. I’m a compulsive lure hoarder without a doubt! 👍🎣
Hi mate, braid to swivel via a palomar knot then four feet of fluorocarbon from the swivel to a clip swivel and the lure attached to that. It’s more of a rubbing “trace” than leader if that makes sense 👍🎣
Hello! How is the pedal drive holding up? I was thinking about getting one of these Yaks rather than forking out for a Hobie. I see you've also added an electric motor, would you consider doing a short video on that? Thanks mate.
Hi mate, I’m gonna do an update on the motor in the next vid I think. The pedal drive is still going strong though I’d say I use the motor now on 80% of trips. Hope that helps 👍🎣
Hi mate, yes I do. If you have a look on my channel you’ll see vids from Port Logan, Port Patrick, Craiglieth and St Abbs. I’ve got a long list of places to visit in the camper as well this year so loads more in Scotland to come as well 👍🎣
@@onthedropfishing well… I’m new ish to fishing myself I live in Troon and all I’ve really caught are pollock around 30cm from the shore but that was using small feathers before I got a lure rod so if you used the correct gear I recon you’d get bigger but I’ve heard from my local fishing shop that portencross is a good place to go for macrel but macrel get boring fast if that’s all you catch also a lot of seals in Troon I’m not too sure if that’s good or bad
G'day chris, love the vid's m8, im a ozzy living in europe, i travel all around fishing ,thank's to your SUPERNOVA unboxing i brought one and all the goodies ,now im really looking forward to fish the french coast, i had a kayak back in oz you got me back into it, thank's for the inspiration to get back into it.😁🛶🛶
Hiya mate, I’m glad you’re enjoying the content, you’ll be the 0.5% of French viewers I get in my TH-cam analytics then! Great that you got yourself another kayak, maybe the fishing won’t be quite as electric as it is in oz but I’m sure you won’t care when you’ve got a few French bass pulling your string! Tight lines and here’s to a fishy 2023 👍🎣
Hi Chris, pleased you kept a couple of vids from last year. Excellent session with plenty fish coming aboard, and especially that fine Pollock.
Looking forward to the next one. Cheers pal. Arthur.

"Vanilla for fish" 🤣 Manila being named after the capital of the Philippines I assume! Great video. 🎣

Hi Chris at 77years old I could do with a dozen of those cod I paid 15 pounds for one large cod and chips, the chips was larger then the fish.
It’s not cheap these days is it Keith! Hope you’re enjoying the content. Tight lines mate 👍🎣
I think I use fish repellent spray!! Some bonny fish there man, the pollack was a beauty. Well done mate.
Cheers mate, it was a lush day 👍🎣
Quality content as always Chris 👍🎣🎣 well done sir 👍
Glad you enjoyed it mate. Tight lines 👍🎣
Championnnnnn first AGAIN lad
You’re setting the bar high mate! 👍🎣
Another great video , with some nice fish landed. Have you ever used metals in the dark Chris ?
Thanks very much David, Yes I have used them from the shore at night and I’ve caught as well 👍🎣
Hi Chris

Thanks Graham, glad you enjoyed it mate 👍🎣
I thought cod were scarce lol!! Hardly any in my area all pollock and coleys
The big ones are lol. Pollack are my fave fish to catch. I’ll be heading west on the hunt for them again in a week or two 👍🎣
@@onthedropfishing pollock are great!! No bass about?
@@ryanferris7841 Thin on the ground up here mate, have to travel a canny distance to target them realistically 🎣
Loving the content as always chris, keep up the good work, what fish finder do you use and what maps do you have on it ?
Hi mate, glad you’re enjoying the channel. I’m using a Lowrance Hook Reveal 5 with c-maps 👍🎣
Great videos bud
Thanks very much mate, glad you’re enjoying the channel 👍🎣

I do pike fishing on my kayak do you do different fishing from your kayak or just all lure fishing great video s
I have done a little bit of pike fishing but not loads. I’m looking to maybe do a bit of perch fishing as well 👍🎣
Nice day fishing that was Chris, my freezer would have been full if I'd have been there with you . Tell me please, how big does a codling have to be before it is called a cod ?.
Hi mate, it was a canny day. Regards the cod it depends who you talk to, some say 5lb some say 7lb. Tight lines pal👍🎣
Excellent video Chris, one question,do you keep any of th decent cod or Pollock for the table
Hi John, I’m glad you enjoyed it mate. I like to see them swim away wherever possible, if one won’t go back though it gets munched 👍🎣
Great video mate whats the stink you spray on? Would it help while shore fishing with lures?
Cheers mate, it’s sticky baits bait spray. As I say I’m not sure it makes that much difference but it can’t be doing any harm can it! Give it a go and find out eh 👍🎣
👏👏👍👍
😁👍🎣
Hi got a work colleague wondering if you have come across a Cambell Irvin, said he was sure he knows you through work
Hi mate, I’m not sure, what does he do? I work with loads of different companies in different scenarios so it’s more than possible 👍🎣
Another great video, what camera are you using?
Thanks mate, glad you enjoyed it. I use GoPros for all my filming on the yak. Hope that helps 👍🎣

Well done on getting out so often, I haven't been out for a few months so itching to get out soon. Tell me, what metals do you usually use.
Hi mate, I usually go with a Razor Claw around the 40g mark. I’m lucky enough to be self employed so can move work around to fit the weather! 👍🎣
Nice one. Slippy Limpets also said that was his favourite shore fishing lure in his latest video.
Nice video m8 what's the name of the stink that u use
Thanks mate, it’s called sticky baits bait spray 👍🎣

Enjoy! £££ 🎣
Hi Chris,
Another great vid especially considering the time of year . Could you please confirm the end rig and just where the fluorocarbon sits
Hi mate, braid to swivel via a palomar knot then four feet of fluorocarbon from the swivel to a clip swivel and the lure attached to that. It’s more of a rubbing “trace” than leader if that makes sense 👍🎣
@@onthedropfishing I assume u use lower strength fcarbon than braid ?
@@stuartdenton9052 20lb fluoro and 15-20lb braid Stuart, the fluoro is just there because it has better abrasion resistance than the braid. 👍🎣
@@onthedropfishing thanks Chris ,much appreciated
What’s your thoughts on the sturgeon vs the supernova ?
I like them both is the truth. If it’s a tricky launch or a long journey I take the sturgeon simply because it’s a fair bit lighter 👍🎣
Hello! How is the pedal drive holding up? I was thinking about getting one of these Yaks rather than forking out for a Hobie. I see you've also added an electric motor, would you consider doing a short video on that? Thanks mate.

Hi been looking at vhs radios for the kayak, what brand do you use
Hi mate, I’ve got a Standard Horizon HX300E but I think you’d be wise to get the next one up with dsc calling if your budget allows. Hope that helps👍🎣
@@onthedropfishing hi mate, just purchased the standard horizon HX890 for £139
what is the spray your putting on the lures, cheers
Hi mate, it’s sticky baits bait spray 👍🎣
Hi mate do you have any experience lure fishing in Scotland?
