Hey Billy, have fished all over Italy for many years, I feel your frustration.. My advice would be to find a kayak, get down the fishmongers, make a big bag of Chum, and get out a couple of hundred yards into very deep water. Good luck mate..
How are ya billy , very enjoyable and top information again .... very envious of the blue skies.. Thank you billy, best of luck and wishing you all the best . 😎
love your vids billy just recently got back into fishing in October west coast Scotland ,Ardrossan north Ayrshire done Alot in Australia.. you are inspiring me to start my own youtube Channel. I have learned so much and i have started doing my assists same way u do them .started my scottish Lure fishing page on facebook last month 500 members already
Hi Joe. it's a little bit slow this time of year, most places. And it seems Sicily is no different. But the sardines arrived late February early march, and I expect good things. thanks Brother 👍😁👌
I’ve binge watched your videos over the last couple of weeks and really enjoyed them and learned loads so just wanted to say thanks 👍 that ikejime thing makes my spine tingle every time 😆…see you on the beach 🎣🐠
Great info Brother Bill! Looks warmer/brighter there than it is here! Shame about the one that got away. Good tip about the plastic bags for the small tackle bits - it would also mean you could have different size swivels/lure clips/beads/whatever in the same compartment in the box and keep 'em separate. 👍👍 I like the idea of using shrink tube for the Tinsel on the assist hooks too. Tight lines - stay safe & well, Dave. 🎣🎣👍👍
Nice Billy ! You always explain and show so well what you are doing and why , I hope the day didn’t go without fish mate looked a cracking mark. appreciate your efforts. Fish on bro 🎣🎣
Love your channel Billy. I've fished Sicily and I feel that you're a wee bit overgunned with your Sonics and end tackle.. Most locals - and Italians in general - fish their beaches with "Beach Ledgering" rods that are akin to long feeder rods although you will find congers (grongo) and smoothhounds. As for your bite-off, I would say it was a bluefish (Pesce Serra) as they are caught there and will bite through just about any diameter mono. Buone vacanze...
Hi bud, I can't bring every type of rod I have. So just what gets the job done. The surf gear is for rays, eels, hounds ect. As for the blue fish theory, no it was some type of tuna. The bite was too aggressive, and almost pulled me off the rock. Thanks Brother
Great idea for assist hook line. That bulk spool of 49 strand was nice. For life of me can't find that online in UK. Can you share what brand it is? Cheers.
Hi John, can't share on TH-cam. I get the wire from AliExpress, just search 49 strand wire. Or find me on Instagram or messenger, I can share the link there. Thanks Brother 👍
Great content and fun to watch! Back in the day, my older brother used piano wire for bluefish (Pomatomus saltatrix). Worked well (until it rusted out).
love your channel, very informative, and gives me confidence on my hashed together rigs when you can catch on your own made rigs, just proves ya dont need to but branded set-ups :) Thanks again for your knowledge :)
Very interesting, thanks. Btw, dorada = gilt head bream. Both names coming from the gold marking on the head. They are much better eating than black bream (in my opinion at least).
Nice one Billy 👍 I'm making jigs ready for spring, I've been folding 4x 50lb braid and twisting it to a cord, will be good enough for not catching anything but I'll try the wire. Already got Asian origin 500 piece multi coloured shrink tube, waiting on 20mm clear wrap to try and shrink on inside out silver crisp packet for chrome effect jigs, we shall see haha, take care hope you get a monster 👾👹👍
@@Billyfishing_watch believe that! I’m down in Equatorial Guinea at the moment, offshore. Huge huge shoals of Yellowfin, Barracuda and Grouper up on the top. It is the fishiest place I’ve ever seen and we can’t so much as think about casting a line. Killer!
Billy, as an MHC (Mental Healthcare Councillor) I must strongly object to you offering free prophylactic treatment to a plethora of potential paying customers. #ucked up fishermen are my bread and butter. 😂
Billy, you never cease to amaze, and impress me. Everything you do is so cool. Raymondo.
Thanks Raymond, much appreciated. See you on the beach Brother 😁👌

Hi Lean, glad you liked it. Not hard of the paper clip before, interesting. Thanks Brother 👍😁

@@Billyfishing_watch Allyoops. Got it. Much obliged 😀
No probs 👍
Awesome as usual mate, solid advice 🙌
T-shirt weather.. what a dream! 😅
Hi Pete, if Could just catch a Damn Fish !🤬 I would be in paradise 🤣 Thanks Brother 👍😁
@@Billyfishing_watch it's coming mate, you're already adapting to the new environment with your wire assists etc. I have every faith in you! 🤙
@@metalbenderuk9791 thanks bud, I'll find that sweet spot 👌
Good stuff Billy. Still jealous of that weather....
Thanks Peter. But doesn't look could up where you are. When did you make the vid?
@@Billyfishing_watch Yesterday! It's not bad at all, but we're not wearing t-shirts!
No T-shirts, but some very nice fish 👌
Great content and fun to watch! Back in the day, my older brother used piano wire for bluefish (Pomatomus saltatrix). Worked well (until it rusted out).
Thanks Brother. Did he fish bait, or lures?
@@Billyfishing_watch For lures. Bait we used plastic coated stranded wire and hooks, melting the plastic after twisting. No crimps!
@@raymondbyczko nice, crimps are no good anyway. thanks Brother 👍😁👌
love your channel, very informative, and gives me confidence on my hashed together rigs when you can catch on your own made rigs, just proves ya dont need to but branded set-ups :)
Thanks again for your knowledge :)
You are welcome Chris, anytime Brother. Glad you liked, fish on 👍😁
Hey Billy nice video bro. Good to see you back in action. 👍👍
Rohit

Cheers billy from GRIMSBY.

Great trick with the garden wire like that pal cheers 👍
Hi Ben. Glad you liked it, thanks Brother 👍😁

Nice one brother Billy . Well you hooked up on something big just a matter of time. See you soon.
Hi Stephen, I hope so. Thanks Brother 👍😁
Cheers Billy. Really great tips. Hope to see you catch a monster soon!
Thanks Garrie, you and me both. Fish on Brother 👍😁
I was wondering the same thing Garrie, how ever this is, they have taught me nothing. And I've never watched the channel either.
@@Billyfishing_watch 😀 the cross that one has to bear for being an excellent tutor.
Thanks Garrie. They won't be doing that more, whoever they are I shut them down 🤬
Very interesting, thanks.
Btw, dorada = gilt head bream. Both names coming from the gold marking on the head. They are much better eating than black bream (in my opinion at least).
Hi John, and thanks. I was wondering about that, it makes sense. Thanks Brother 👍😁
Nice one Billy 👍
I'm making jigs ready for spring, I've been folding 4x 50lb braid and twisting it to a cord, will be good enough for not catching anything but I'll try the wire. Already got Asian origin 500 piece multi coloured shrink tube, waiting on 20mm clear wrap to try and shrink on inside out silver crisp packet for chrome effect jigs, we shall see haha, take care hope you get a monster 👾👹👍
Thanks, Daz. Hope it works out for you. Fish on 👍😁

A sickener Billy man
Just part of life, thanks Brother 👍😁
@@Billyfishing_watch believe that! I’m down in Equatorial Guinea at the moment, offshore. Huge huge shoals of Yellowfin, Barracuda and Grouper up on the top. It is the fishiest place I’ve ever seen and we can’t so much as think about casting a line. Killer!
Well, that is the worst. 🤬
Serra maybe,bluefish?
Maybe, thanks Brother 😁👌
Nice one mate, good video as usual, shame that fish but you off but 💩 happens 👍👍🤠
It's just the way it goes sometimes, thanks Brother 👍😁
did i miss the fish ?
No, I did. Thanks Brother 👍😁
@@Billyfishing_watch haha :)
Billy, as an MHC (Mental Healthcare Councillor) I must strongly object to you offering free prophylactic treatment to a plethora of potential paying customers. #ucked up fishermen are my bread and butter. 😂
Your time is up, will I have to pick this up next appointment 🤣👌
The trusty sniper xt , one if my favourite rods, the fight off that fish reminds me of my sex life 😂😂😂very quick

Hi bud. If you fish the way I do. You get used to catching nothing very quickly. Thanks Brother 👍😁
Deadly billy I've been bitten off a few times on the beara so....
That's because, you fish all the worst places just like me 🤣 Thanks Ciaran 👍😁👌
@Billyfishing Hahaha the beara is that unpredictable!!!
Matey reckons there's 6kg Seabass there does he??
How's Matey?
@@Billyfishing_watch Was it the restaurant owner I think you said??
No, I can't say his name 🤣👌
@@Billyfishing_watch Yea understood. My interest is definitely peaked though, a road trip down that way with the bass rods might be in order!! :)
If I find some you will know 👍
Gilthead mate. Get loads in devon and Cornwall
Thanks Brother 👍😁
Hopefully you'll come face to face with signor pesce before you have to resort to dynamite
It's just a matter of time Christopher, no need for dynamite just yet. Thanks Brother 👍😁
