What a fantastic articulate guest - as a novice I appreciate the technique and tackle chat that doesn't get bogged down in jargon - followed by some great fishing and scenic action. From the videos I've seen so far, your guest selection and production values have been "totally awesome"!
Nice to hear:+ use cheap 50p lures+ smooth technique / don't have to walk the dog or jerk+ keep changing colours+ Texas rigs / avoid kelp snaggingFun video guys.......
I love pollack fishing from the rocks during a beautiful still sunset when the tides are moving strongly. The water in the west of Scotland can be so clear and still that you see the fish flashing up from his hiding spot and hit the lure like a thunderclap. They love a dead zone where they can sit restfully and watch what's moving past in the strong flow. Stay aware because you'll have a hard fight on your hands and snags all around. And at least one big fish on every decent trip. They taste awful though so it's the mackerel I pick up on the side that come home with me.
Great video, but for the summer I would like to see some tips on catching summer fish in marinas and off piers/beaches, e.g. mackerel, small pollack, flounder, cod and dabs, you know, fish easy to catch without much skill.
Some feathers with a 2oz ledger in deeper water for mackerel on bright days. On cloudy days or at sunset use a wedge (24g-48g, one with some blue works best, my favorites are 48g shakespeare blue slither and dexter wedges) on some light tackle for good sport and huge bags of fish. Small pollack aren't worth it and bringing them up from deeper water around piers kills them. Flounder love a smallish ragworm on a running ledger with some colourful beads on the hooklength. I'm no great cathcer of cod and dab so I'll remain silent about them.
Thanks for the reply mike iv ordered some 7gram ones will try them next week when we go to mull of galloway iv found your bids really helpful as I'm a learner will let you know how I get on thanks again
Hello sir. If I use Pauls method to get the rubber lure down low ( inline lead and 1 Mtr hooklink) ,won't the lead get jammed up on the rocks. Is this rig really only any use on small pebbles and sandy bottoms? Many regards
Hi guys, great video i recently bought a LRF rod rated 0.5-7g casting weight and am hoping to take holiday to Paul's guesthouse at easter time , does that light rod have the power to play those pollock and cast those heavier lures , or would i be better off bringing the light rod for light jigs and a slightly heavier rod for bigger lures in deeper water? Chris
Hi im gonna try some pollock lrf fishing and im wanting to try the texas rig technique im gonna use a bullet weight on the end of the lure but unsure what weight to use any ideas would be appropriated thanks scott (Fishing beginner)
Hi Scott, It depends on the sea conditions really, what the state of the tide is and how big the swell is. I just use whatever was available in my tackle box at the time, maybe 7-10g? Best to have a look online or ask in a local tackle shop. Mike
I float fish for pollack around Bergen, Norway. I caught my personal best on wednesday last week 5.66kg or just under 12.5 lbs at a depth of 7 meters. The big fish are not always deep.
+Crazy corner I have caught in the last few weeks several Cod over three kg's in very shallow water almost on the surface with a couple hooked right in front of me almost at my feet, and all on a 2012 eddystone eel Black and red firetail, in fact since I've lost my last one haven't had the heart to go fishing because I don't like blanking. Also on the pollack theme not wanting to contradict or cause argument have heard and have experience from that Pollock rise up in the water in the evening, anyway in Norway they do and have caught several fish over 7lb and on more than one occasion have looked into the water and seen some very big Pollock swimming just under the surface along the side and Cod for that matter. Another thing I've seen is flat fish swimming just under the surface and for some distance, the first time thought it was maybe a sick fish but after three or four times now think it's something they must do regularly. But this is all in Norway and a 7lb fish is a tiddler.
+Scott tork I would like to add that in the places where I've seen the flat fish swimming just below the surface the water according to the sea charts is 37 and in excess of 50 metres deep from the shore, Norwegian fjord. I wonder why they do this.
8lb pollock i dont think so i live in kerry ireland and that was no where near 8lb more like 4lb come on lets keep it sensible if your gonna do a fishing programme guys please

Red Gill rubber sand eels were always the lure for rock fishing 'when I were a lad', they use to be cheap as chips.

Nice one
Brilliant
Could you possibly give a close up of the tackle layout's, which you are talking about? Good amount of information given there, for me anyway. Thanks!

If I use Pauls method to get the rubber lure down low ( inline lead and 1 Mtr hooklink) ,won't the lead get jammed up on the rocks.
Is this rig really only any use on small pebbles and sandy bottoms?

would an 8ft 10-30g rod or a 9ft 15-45g rod be better

TA FISHING do a shaw fishing video in Guernsey in the Channel Islands I live here and there are some lovely spots to fish plzzzzzz
Hi. Im wanting to know if you or paul have fished glen point . It is on the top of northern ireland .it has mackeral and pollock up to 15 pounds
kiesha matthews No,never fished that spot.Sounds impressive.
Would a plain white soft plastic work?
Every colour works on its day. If I had to use only one,it would be black.
🎣🇮🇪💚💯
Hey !!! What is the first rod with the white tip on the video ? And the reel ?
Thank You !!! =)
Not sure about the reel but the rod is a rockfish UL
Ok Thank You !!!!
Im wanting to know can you do ground fishing for trout .thanks please reply
I usually fish in water; lakes, rivers or the sea
do mackerel jigs work for pollock?
Yes,but you might want to up-grade any small trebles to a larger single or they might come back straightened !!
TAFishing could you do fly fishing for perch?
lol 18:32
Bj, combien de profondeur d'eau ?
I can't make these rigs no matter how hard I try, can you help?
practise tying knots
hunting
I landed a pollack twice the size of those and it's weight was 5lb either my weights lie or something fishy is going on
