Today you are my favourite person in the world. I saw a fish tail out while I was float fishing with prawns. I grabbed my spinning rod with the lure you recommended ready to go, within 3 or 4 casts the fish hit it on the drop at full range and went berserk. Some time and a few grey hairs later I landed a 49cm (I didn't weigh it) bar of silver, barely even a spot, could of been a small grilse, I don't care either way. With your help after 30+ years of chucking every bass and pollack lure know n to man I finally landed and released a game fish from the open sea and I will be forever grateful. Thanks you so much 😊
That’s brilliant Daz, so pleased my advice helped you on your fishing journey. It’s always nice to get positive feedback from viewers that I helped in some way or another.
@@PiscatorUK-Fishing Thank you, I find it amazing how tiny details can make a huge difference in fishing of all types, none of us ever know everything. 👍
Thanks Dale, much appreciated buddy. I know when I watch a video no mater what form of fishing, the take, the bite or float going under is the most exciting part, so glad I captured it. I tried zooming in on it as I actually saw a slight bow wake just as a struck. The tug is definitely the drug👍
As always your Videos are excellent ! Just so much for a newbie like me. Do you have any videos on water craft and how to read the water in front of you etc
I had an excellent session last Saturday early morning fishing just up in the river that runs into my local harbour a kinda estuary and caught a beautiful sea trout on really light tackle and it was amazing watching it dancing up current taking line 😀 😉
Sea trout is one of my favourite species to catch especially in salt water, they are hard fighting fish. The weed around my area at the moment has exploded recently due to the warmer weather. this is making lure fishing for them quite difficult at times.
We have a similar issue at early summer this green weed dies off and every tide it's a nightmare wether fishing for seatrout mullet or bass, it brings smaller things into feed and we do see some big fish in the evening jumping the wheir but rarely see people fishing as its a graft and I don't know many people willing to put in the effort especially fly or lure fishing as there's alot of ropes and chains running through but occasionally some people do go down put in the effort and get lucky.
Hi mate, another great video. You'd asked me to pm you on a previous vid. I've been in limbo waiting on my car getting major surgery sorry, ive not had the wiggle room to fit anything extra curricular in however, me and my mate whom you inspire so much will be up there on Friday at 6.15am ish. If you can, please join us and educate us. If not, we will be up again a lot. The place I'm speaking about is at the spit of land or shingle you film at- don't want to give everyone it's location. We are both early fifties and experienced chefs so you show us yours and we will open our brains to be picked as to the cooking of the beasts or any other recipes you want. One good turn....
Magnificent beasts, good to see you amongst such solid fish Doug. There are some sea run trout caught here in Oz, but they are not targeted routinely, sadly not close to my home territory anyway. I realise it’s a different ball game in the UK, but all I can think of when I see such magnificent piscatorial slabs is gravlax with a good tartare.
Wonderful comment, they are one of the tastiest fish in our waters, I’ve had my fare share of these wonderful fish on my plate in the past. My enjoyment comes from the battle they give and seeing them swim off, hopefully to make babies for the future and sharing the experience with you guys.
Brilliant video again m8, that’s a lovely big trout, as like you, I would have loved to see the one that got away on your previous video, like you I’m a catch and release guy. Many years ago I fished Rhu narrows with some decent fish but I’ve not been out for a while. I’m obviously not asking for the exact place you fish due to the (fishmonger brigade) ruining it for others can you point me in a rough direction as to where to try for some sea trout.
another bombarda master class fishing video thank you for the advise on baits and set ups can i ask the make and model of your rod please awesome videos im learning off every one thank you
Thanks Peter much appreciated mate. I’ve been using the feeder rod lately, as I said purely because it’s lighter than my 11ft lure rod, which can be hard work on a longer session. The rod is a Shakespeare Omni feeder rod with the stiffest tip in the pack of two that comes with the rod, cheap as chips at £25. A few points on using a feeder/match rod rod. They are not made for salt water use so although this rod is cheap, I still look after it and rinse it under the shower after a trip to stop the salt corrosion. The tip eyes especially on most feeder rods are very small, the reason I mentioned that is because I use braid and always use a shock leader, even with an FG knot, which is small in diameter it can work the tip loose after a few casts. I’ve dedicated this rod for the bombarda and super glued the tip in place. Hope this helps mate in your decision before you buy one.
Lovely Sea Trout mate. Great video really enjoyed it and some fantastic tips will definitely try filleting and salting some sand eels, Cheers mate stay safe 👍🎣🎣
I've just revisited this great video as I am constantly looking for new learnings in relation to the Bombarda. I am experimenting with a baitcaster (overhead reel) with streamer flies. The advantage is zero line twist, but obviously can't get the same casting distance as fixed spool. Is this something you have tried Doug? Interested in your thoughts. Cheers, Mike.
Hi Mike, using a baitcaster is not something I’ve thought about using with the bombarda. The fixed spool reel just keeps things simple and it’s easier to use. Let me know how you get on with the baitcaster though as I’m interested if it has any other advantages.
Love your videos! Looking forward to the summer :D Keen to try out the bombarda fly combination. Was wondering though, when you stop your cast before it hits the water to flip your fly , does it not strain the line on the knot and make it more prone to breaking? what line do you use when you're sea trout fishing btw? Great fight that 2nd one gave you!
Thank you for watching and commenting, I use daiwa J braid 8 strand 25-29lb, which is for my bombarda specific reel. I have never had the FG knot fail with stopping the bombarda before it lands on the water. I do check the braid and fluorocarbon leader before every session just increase. Weakness in the braid or fluorocarbon mainly results from rocks and mussel beds. Hope this helps. That is one of the main reasons I don’t like to use the line clip on the reel as the braid can wear very quickly at the clip, hence the reason I stop it by hand.
Another cracking video! I have used salted baits with some success but only when ledgering hard on the bottom and never as lures so I will definitely give this method a try. Have you had success with Bombarda using mackerel or other fish strips other than sandeel?
Yeah they all work, but I prefer to keep the strips quite small like the sand eel. If you go too big you get less hookups, don’t get me wrong you will catch fish with a bigger bait but it will be more frustrating with the missed takes. I only missed one take out of 4 which was probably a small sea trout or flounder.
Awesome video! Very informative and a great watch. Out of interest would this method be effective for salmon/sea trout in a harbour waiting to run up river (July/august time) I noticed last year when watching them they were constantly leaping out the water on an evening but wasn’t sure what the best approach would be for them!? Cheers J
Hi Jason, thanks for watching and commenting. I would certainly give this method a go, if it was me. Might be worth checking your local bylaws for targeting salmon/sea trout especially so close to a river outlet.
@@PiscatorUK-Fishing Thanks for your response, seems to be very little information regarding this specific location however I will do some more research. I do predominantly course fish and anything caught would be released. Cheers
Many thanks for the info about saving sandeels as they ain't cheap or easy to come by where I live, I was out early today and used mackerel and sandeels didn't get any bites so instead of waste pack of sandeels I did your sea salt method with what was left so I'll get another session out of the salted fillets. Thx great tip
Hi, thanks for the comment. I’ve been using a feeder rod in recent videos. As I said at the start of the video I started using it purely be caused it is lighter than most spinning/lure rods at that length. The rod is a Shakespeare Omni feeder rod and I use it with the stiffest tip out the two that comes with the rod. Just a couple of points on a feeder rod, they are designed for fresh water use, because of that I wash it down with fresh water after used in the sea to stop the rod guides corroding due to the salt water. Second point is the rod guides, especially on the tip are very small, if your using a braid to leader knot, it needs to be the smallest diameter knot possible to pass through the guides easily. I se the FG knot.
Great video/informative, I typically use soft plastics/tazzies, but I should really try float fishing, with mackerel ships/sand ells. Do you always buy your sand eels, or do you ever try catch them yourself? Be good to see how you catch eels too. Well done.
that was excellent mate!! never thought to salt the eels before, does it cut down on that unusual smell from them? lol, interesting those fish where in their greeding colours too, is that fresh near your spot?
Cracking video. Really enjoyed watching. What's your view on the tides for sea trout. Low water, high water, low to high tide, high tide to low tide? Any info would be great. Tight lines
Hi Douglas have you tried the black coloured bombarda I got a couple from angling centre not tried them yet had a couple of hours last week with a clear one for the first time but found it difficult to see when casting
Hi Mike, thanks for commenting mate, it really depend on the venue. If I can do it, probably prefer halfway through the ebb down to low tide back up to half flood tide. Some marks can be restricted in terms of wading because of shore line weed beer high tide marks.
Unless the mackerel is really fresh ie just out the water then fresh is preferred. I would salt the mackerel otherwise it’s more robust on the hook for this type of fishing. Hope this helps mate.
@@Alexxx---101 personally I’ve never tried squid on its own for sea trout. If I’ve got a fish bait, mackerel, sand eel or herring I would much rather use that as I know it works, tight lines buddy and thanks for the comments Alex👍
Thanks for commenting Juan, sea salt is probably a bit extravagant for bait, but it’s what I was advised to use, so can’t really comment on plain salt, thanks for sharing your knowledge buddy👍
@@PiscatorUK-Fishing loved your explanation on way for Sea trout . Used to fish for Bass a lot in co Kerry .and Sea Trout were always a welcome alternative .Know for a fact of a 10lb Sea Trout on a wedge and 8lb fish on a plug .both returned from same place in Kerry
We were up on Fri morning 6am. 3 hrs using Abu droppen and sand eel type spinners- nothing. It was flat calm and cold that morning so maybe not great. I was getting a cast of about 30 yrs so I was covering water and moving up and down the spit. Maybe just unlucky. My mate caught weed with a decent sized oyster in It! That's a good indicator of water quality. I thought they were extinct around here?
Thanks for your feedback Fraser, sorry I couldn’t meet up with you guys but had other stuff on. Yeah flat calm conditions mate, always going to be tough and I don’t think there was much tide running, sounds like you did everything you could but that’s fishing mate, there’s always next time.
@@PiscatorUK-Fishing we are heading back on the 19th early around 6am ish. It's low tide then which is opposite to when we were last there. It's just great to be out there in such a lovely area yet it's so close to Glasgow. There's plenty of wildlife around to watch and hear too. We even saw a gun boat which almost swamped the spit with its wake and had us ready to run. I would go up whether I caught or not and so would my mate, a wee hot bovril on the gas stove for the cold helps too! We will be using the bombarda next time with a sand eel type fly and allys shrimp type flies. We might try the Scandinavian type chasing fly set up where you've a point fly and a streamer or shrimp perhaps as a dropper, the illusion of a small fish chasing prey thus creating a situation where a sea trout can take advantage of small prey seemingly caught up in their wee battle and therefor easier prey to them. That's the theory anyhoo. We can but try! Might set up a bait rod too if I feel it suits conditions there. I'm a river fisher and this sea stuff is all new to me. I was thinking loch long and loch fyne etc might be wort a shot. I also heard where the two burns in largs run into the sea can produce sea trout even. I'm intrigued and wonder why this isn't a more popular way to get them
Douglas I don't know what's going on but I don't get all my replies to your review so I'll post it again if you had already read it then just delete it and otherwise you have it now again nice video to watch beautiful surroundings and really a very nice one at the end of the video you are a man of my heart i would love to come fishing in your area maybe in 2 yrs when i retire who knows haha some questions with a 20gr bomb how many counts do you lower it before you start turning the mill And I do have a beach here, but you don't have many oysters here which is killing for your lure and your line, compared to your area, a nice trout is occasionally caught here, but not in the numbers as in your area I still bought the Zander rod from Iron Claw Prey3.30 and as a reel the Penn IV Pursuit Type 4000 with 12.00 braid from Berkly Typ Blackvelved and also came across things on a youtube site that you can get tips and tricks from www.wideopen.dk in the videos on it about winter/spring trout fishing videos include tips, s and tricx for rigs with inline spoons and flies/streamers and tight lines for the next session

That's the theory anyhoo. We can but try! Might set up a bait rod too if I feel it suits conditions there. I'm a river fisher and this sea stuff is all new to me. I was thinking loch long and loch fyne etc might be wort a shot. I also heard where the two burns in largs run into the sea can produce sea trout even. I'm intrigued and wonder why this isn't a more popular way to get them
r u using clear sinking or opaque floating bombarda ?
Hi Joseph, I use clear sinking most of the time, I don’t go through my whole setup now as I did a video on it to try and shorten my videos
Well done doug 👏 cracker trout
Hello mate, with a 30g bombada and a good cast, roughly what distance are you getting? Thanks for the videos, excellent 😊
I would say easy 100meters mate
Do u use intermediate or sinking bombarda
Intermediate or sinking as long as it is all clear. Some companies call the all clear bombarda sinking and some call them intermediate.
Where abouts is this? Im dying to try for the sea trout
Get a fly rod fs
douglas you have a messenger message from my over the navi ....
Is that down the Clyde at Cardross
@@lauriedocherty2078 yes it’s the Clyde
Douglas I don't know what's going on but I don't get all my replies to your review
so I'll post it again if you had already read it then just delete it and otherwise you have it now
again nice video to watch beautiful surroundings and really a very nice one at the end of the video you are a man of my heart i would love to come fishing in your area maybe in 2 yrs when i retire who knows haha
some questions with a 20gr bomb how many counts do you lower it before you start turning the mill
And I do have a beach here, but you don't have many oysters here
which is killing for your lure and your line, compared to your area, a nice trout is occasionally caught here, but not in the numbers as in your area
I still bought the Zander rod from Iron Claw Prey3.30 and as a reel the Penn IV Pursuit Type 4000 with 12.00 braid from Berkly Typ Blackvelved
and also came across things on a youtube site that you can get tips and tricks from
www.wideopen.dk
in the videos on it about winter/spring trout fishing
videos include tips, s and tricx for rigs with inline spoons and flies/streamers
and tight lines for the next session
Thanks Willem, sometimes there is a delay with comment, I’ll keep an eye on it. Regards Douglas👍
