    This channel got me into fishing! Great content, shows both sides of fishing. I’m in Thanet and saw the videos from the area any advice on marks at all?

      Thanks Alex that means alot👍👍.
      It all depends on what you want to fish for but I would definitely be putting some effort into Reculver and minnis Bay soon to target smoothhounds👍

    Great video as always! Cheers mate! I grew up in Beltinge, and that beach was my stomping ground for most of my childhood. I haven't been back for 27 years so watching this was a real memory jogger. My Dad and I used to fish along Bishopstone regularly but pretty much only ever caught whiting, pouting, rockling, eels and dabs...it was fun though. One time a dead Right Whale washed up on the beach down there....do you remember at all? Must have been 30 years or so ago now....Any way, thanks again and good luck on the rest of your adventures!

    • @gsp

    Greg, have you not thought about using a hair rig with a circle hook when targeting rays to stop them deep hooking? I use it to great success with rays. Keep up the good work🎣👍

    • @gsp
      @gsp  ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Me and my dad went fishing the night after you went and I got my first ray and Dad got 3 rays we were at reculver tower and we walk up the hill and the fist stairs we went down on too the beach and we fish the close rock arm going out to sea and we were near the wood that is on the beach.
    We had the rig pulley penal rig and we went for 3 hours and we got a total of 3 rays and it is good you got a ray I would recommend revolver as your next spot to fish it would be amazing to see it as a video if you make it a video.
