Just subscribed after coming across you by accident. Got to say it's nice to see a normal bloke with the right attitude to fishing and just doing it just for relaxation. I'm doing my best to get through all your videos and loved the ones where you fished abroad and the ones with your Father. I took a rod with me to Mexico (Cancun) and also to the Dominican Republic but the Mrs wasn't too happy. I can really relate to the early morning fishing to clear a hangover as that's what I did and it was a different world fishing while watching sea turtles swim past. I live on Anglesey in a small village called Amlwch so looking forward to see where you fish next. I've been fishing since the age of 6 and I'm now 53 so if you decide to fish Anglesey again and need any marks to try then give me a shout. The only advice I can give you is don't change a thing, you give good advice and set a great example taking all your rubbish home including other peoples, top man, keep them videos coming. I'll give you a mention on a few fishing forums to try and get you some more subscribers.
Also if you get a chance then check out GAMEKEEPER JOHN'S SLINGSHOT SHOOTING & FISHING. He also has the same attitude as you to fishing and his videos are as honest as yours so if he blanks he still posts them. He fishes local to Anglesey and North Wales so if you watch his videos it will give you a good idea what's being caught before you set out.
Thanks Anthony, really appreciate the kind words, mate! I grew up fishing Anglesey. It's definitely somewhere I want to get back to fishing a lot more this year! I fished Amlwch the other week. The video should be up this weekend, hopefully. I subscribe to gamekeeper John already, enjoy his content, like you say just honest fishing. That's what it's all about for me, getting out and just enjoying it. You can blank and still have a good time. I don't want people watching who are new to it to think it's a fish a chuck all the time that's just not realistic!
Nice one I'll look forward to it. I live on the Bull Bay side of Amlwch which also has quite a few good marks to fish but I was brought up in Amlwch Port. I would say that between Moelfre and Holyhead there isn't a mark that I haven't fished. If you are after a very easy mark to fish then try Cemlyn Bay past the old Power Station. It's a steep shingle beach but sand further out. It's about 50 yards from the car park to the beach so a very comfortable mark to fish. I have a very good mark at Carmel Head but it's a very long walk. It's the deepest mark on the Island with Llanbadrig being second. If you can cast a 100yards you would be fishing in a 100 feet of water. Great place for pollock with an average size of 6lb there and it's basically facing the Skeries Lighthouse. Best of luck on your next session buddy.
Enjoying the videos 👍. I love your approach to fishing. Adventure, something different and most of all enjoyment and relaxation. Tight lines my friend 👍
Cheers mate! Love trailing new venues, sea fishing is all about the unknown for me. I think that's what baffles me about carp fishing, on the same pond with the same fish 😅
Nice video👍. Whiting beats a blank and still gets grief.🥺🥺 Got to be in it to win it, and you are certainly in it.👏👏 Shame it wasn't as productive as it looked, maybe on another day.🤔 I look forward to part 3.😃 Take care and stay safe.😷🙊
Nice one mate another good watch, them small whitings are a absolute pain but you can only get what's in front of you, will be much better when you get on the island, good luck on the next one
@@theawfulangler nah I let it go, I haven't the heart to kill them, beautiful things. I pick odd dead ones up after rough weather that go in the freezer.
hi you amaze me how you manage to get to all these venues because you are not far away from me and its costly living this far away from the sea and like you I only like sea fishing tight lines keep them coming love your trips
Cheers Craig, its all in the planning mate. With the right tides you can hit a couple different venues in one trip on one tank of fuel. Just like this trip, it's hard work but doable👍🏼
Llandulas is a tackle graveyard, I’m surprised you were getting your gear back every cast , those boulders go out a long way and the beach at low is covered with them , along with smaller rocks etc , very snaggy , but good for hounds in summer further to your right where the river runs in , and some massive bass caught there last summer/ autumn further to your left towards the big conveyor belt, I’ve done a few mackerel videos from there myself, it’s a nice easy beach to fish , good video mate 👍👍🤠
There were one or 2 retrieves that took a good snatch. and I could feel the need to get the lead up once it was out but never felt like losing tackle. It did look like it could be a good summer venue. From what I hear the Cod haven't really shown up on the Welsh coast yet this year.
@@theawfulangler the cod never show up around here 😂, the odd one here and there ( not for me ) just whiting and dogfish, with the occasional dab or flounder thrown in 😂👍👍🤠
if you ever venture down as far as Mablethorpe or Grimsby way, you can plonk van on driveway for the night. i'm not to far from both in Grainthorpe village... some cracking fishing at the moment, cod and whiting and various others coming out..
That's kind of you mate! Yeah the holderness is fishing well at the minute too. I'm hoping to get out next weekend. And think that's where I'll be heading!
@@theawfulangler no problem dude, i know what the drive from your neck of the woods is like, i was in sheffield for 28 years before moving over this way. it's a long boring drive. i'm hoping to hit mablethorpe in feb for a spot of fishing, then maybe huttoft on the next one after... 👍
@@theawfulangler Forgot to mention in my other post that I also have my reel handle on the same side as you. Been doing it all my life and can't change now and to be honest it makes no difference as it's whatever you are comfortable with but others think it's weird.
Think the Ll is pronounced Cl but the double d I'm not sure on! Double D's always baffle me 😉😅 Glad I'm not the only one to get whiting there, never try ya never know!
Too much bait depends on the perspective 😉 the east coast is blighted by pin whiting this year. So I was determined to try and stay away from those on this trip. You're right though, I could have switched to smaller hooks and bait and had a whiting session similar to the mackerel bashers on a summer holiday 😅
Blimey mate you must have missed at least 4 good bites on that missed one near the end, i'm shouting at the screen to strike it or you will miss it, too late!!!! The video was great to watch especially when you are showing the rod tips while talking over, but sometimes your Go Pro doesn't show what you intended eg the rod instead of the tip or the floor instead of the bait but hey these are learning curves, on my channel which is mainly playlists but on my about section i do say that i have total respect for people doing these videos. Looking forward to number 3. Stay Safe, Barry (Wirral)
It was like that all day mate, really good looking bites, but must have been whiting just smashing the baits. Almost impossible to get a hookup, like I say I left them to hook themselves in the end 😅 As for the gopro angle, I set it up on my phone to be right, then watching the footage back it missed lots of the frame like you say. I've got a new chest mount I'm trailing see if that's a bit more reliable! 👍🏼
You managed to find the gay dogging spot of North Wales 🙈🙈🙈 Llanddulas produces some cracking Smoothounds and Bass when in season. This time of year, anywhere along that stretch of coast, you'll be plagued with Whiting
Prolific for perverts in those toilets. Last time I turned up there some guy approached my car. I politely told him to F-Off. Second time that's happened to me there. Always Men looking for Men, such a shame.
@@theawfulangler Problem is they're not commiting a crime. Raise a hand to them and the law will come down on you. Doesn't make sense. Had one follow me all the way to Abergele once flashing his lights behind me. Pricks.
Thanks for sharing and talking the time to up load the videos it's nice to see different places and a bonus to catch fish 🐠
Not a problem Paul, glad you're enjoying them 👌🏽

Great video's, got me thinking about getting a van now lol, keep um coming and tight lines
Do it mate!! I've had all sorts of motors over the years. But love my little van 👌🏽
Another top video buddy, I know people who have had Tope from that exact spot in the summer
Cheers buddy!
That's good to know! I thought it looks a good spot for bass in the summer 🤞🏼
Enjoying the videos 👍. I love your approach to fishing. Adventure, something different and most of all enjoyment and relaxation. Tight lines my friend 👍
Cheers mate!
Love trailing new venues, sea fishing is all about the unknown for me. I think that's what baffles me about carp fishing, on the same pond with the same fish 😅
One of my favourite places to fish is anglesey. Have a look at Amlwch breakwater. Some great fun for species there and some nice conger too.
One step ahead of you 🤣
Really great vids...Keep up the good work and keep catching....
Thanks Sean!!
Great video once again. Really makes me want to get to sea again 👍
Do it buddy 👍🏼
Blimey ! I miss this like so much , now I live in Madrid ! 20 years …. But still got my Millionaire Multiplier 😂
Haha gear like that lasts a lifetime, and you never know when you might need it 😉
Busy day for you, the whiting kept it interesting. Keep at it.
Yeah they were relentless David 😒
Nice video👍. Whiting beats a blank and still gets grief.🥺🥺
Got to be in it to win it, and you are certainly in it.👏👏
Shame it wasn't as productive as it looked, maybe on another day.🤔
I look forward to part 3.😃
Take care and stay safe.😷🙊
Cheers Ian! Tough fishing to be honest, once those whiting are on you it game over 😅
Great video mate those small tings definitely kept you busy looking forward to the next
Cheers Mark 👍🏼
Hi mate good luck for holyhead from GRIMSBY.
Thanks Carl!
Nice one mate another good watch, them small whitings are a absolute pain but you can only get what's in front of you, will be much better when you get on the island, good luck on the next one
Cheers Paul! Whiting are almost at plague levels now I'm sure!
Thankyou for all the effort...
No problem Simon, that's real fishing!
Making it hard for yourself this time of year ... just proper... when you down in cornwall??
Hopefully, this summer. It's a long trek for me, so it will have to be when the weather is a bit more suitable for camping.
Nice one, good to see the plague isn't just confined to the island, although I did manage a bonus dab and octopus tonight 🤣🐙👍
Haha they're viral Daz. I've heard there may be whiting lockdowns in 2023 🤣 did you keep the octopus pal?
@@theawfulangler nah I let it go, I haven't the heart to kill them, beautiful things.
I pick odd dead ones up after rough weather that go in the freezer.
I once watched a guy bash one to death in fuerteventura...poor thing 😢
Catching is catching. As long as you are enjoying yourself that's what matters.
That's it mate 👍🏼

Cheers Stephen, glad you're enjoying it mate.

Great video mate…hurry up an get the Holyhead one on 😃👍🎣
Haha cheers Rich. Editing starts tomorrow 🙌🏽
Great video mate, love your approach to fishing. You still need to swap those reel handles over though 😁
Hahaha, cheers mate! I might give it a go next time I'm out, and you can watch how massively awkward I am 🤣

If that's the weirdest thing I get caught doing, I'll take it 😉🤣
What is that silver device that you use to load the bait on before you use the baiting elastic and where can I get one please?
It's called a b8m8. They're good, but you could make your own from a piece of pipe if you're that way inclined.
Spot on buddy 👍🎣 Tight Lines
Cheers Pat! Tight lines to you too 🤞🏼🎣
Fucting brilliant! 🤣🤣🤘
Cheers Rhianne!! 👍🏼
I'm sure you had better luck off of Anglesey 😜👍
Have to stay tuned 👍🏼
@@theawfulangler you know it m8 I'm all over it like a cheap suit🤣👍❤️
well done that man keeping it real
Cheers Eric 👍🏼
Excellent content.
Thanks Sandra
Llan where 🤣🙈 close good vid mate only ever had whiting there myself
Think the Ll is pronounced Cl but the double d I'm not sure on! Double D's always baffle me 😉😅
Glad I'm not the only one to get whiting there, never try ya never know!
( Lan-dull-ass ) if you were to spell it how you say it 🤣🤣🤣
🤣 fair enough
Hope you managed to get to Anglesey, on your fish hunt, ill come and find you 😀
I did mate, hopefully get those videos out this week 👍🏼
@@theawfulangler im off night fishing at 9pm, trying Amlwch again 😄
Good luck mate keep me updated
Nice 1 mate plenty of action could of got even more if u went to public toilet by sounds of it 😆👍
Haha ain't that the truth George!
Too much bait, what i used to do was lift rod reel in a little and put rod back down and if it's still there the rod will still bounce

Tried a few times, matey, but always done better on other baits.

Typical! Glad I left the guy under no illusion when he followed me down the car park then!
Sounds like it will be a good spot in summer then
I’ve only just started watching, but don’t use superglue on your rod ring 😲👎
OK Kevin 👍🏼 it just spins round, I don't want to rebuild it just for that 😢
@@theawfulangler All you need is some hot melt glue 👍🐟🎣
You could probably get it done at your local tackle shop 🤞
I'll give hot glue a go then mate cheers. I've asked before at local tackle shops, but living inland, it's like a foreign language to them 😅
