In this episode we experience some incredible cloud formations, Use the Lure rod to catch the wrong Fish !
Theres a Fishing Job opportunity for someone and i perfect my Bucket release method. I also manage to catch a great rattle on camera, now its over to you to figure out what it is !
I Had a really enjoyable time.
Please comment on Here if you have fished this venue or enjoy some of this Easy Pier fishing.

How the Pier has changed over the years. I fished there with my Dad early 70's and my Dad fished it till the day it was closed literally while he was fishing. Some of the old guard from back in the day Reg, Albert, Dickie Dan would cringe seeing it now. We had some good times fishing there with multiple species, and just loved fishing from the landing stage before it was left to rack and ruin. A sad sight but at least its still standing and open. I was known as Slasher as i used to cast very low, that low i crowned my old man one night on the landing stage with a 6oz lead. I still have that lead floating around somewhere. Reg gave me the that handle as it goes.
Love this comment 🙏
Hi mate, was only talking about old times on the pier and funny your name came up (slasher😬) some good memories made on there ,hope your well 👍🏻
@@ColinCrosby-ro4lw hello mate, all good as it goes. How’s things with your good self and Ralph.
I remember Reg very well. He taught me to use a multiplier on Hastings pier. He was an absolute gent.
Hi Matt, nice fun day pier fishing out enjoying nature, thanks for sharing
Cheers Brian
Nice one matt, i never fish piers these days I'm more at home on the beach but respect for the way you returned the fish instead of the long drop and inevitable slap/stun. Went yesterday to use up rag and got picky bites resulting in a late whiting, 2 trips no blank (so far) roll on the weekend and an unfavourable neap tide but will be chucking nonetheless...
Hi Matt, really enjoyed this video. Brought back memories of when I was a kid fishing Worthing pier all time, pulling out all kinds of species and just enjoying the environment. Really admire all your camera angles it not easy to do alone and it really gives that professional touch🤘
Cheers Luke , it’s quite exhausting and I wonder if I sometimes miss a fish while I’m messing around with light balance or something 🤭
Great video. Looks a great venue for the less able or family angler. Shame about the charges + no food or drink. I often reward myself with a coffee and bacon butty after an early start, and my protein snack and coffee's run out...
Yep thanks will pass your thoughts on 😀now you got me wanting a bacon butty 🥓
Great pier to fish from. It’s huge! Nobody on it either. Soon those bass are going to nibble and put a bend in that lure rod👍👍🐟🐟🐟
Yep any moment now …
Awesome again Matt the old Hastings pier had plenty of shelter, i caught many good fish from the pier in my teens the cost to fish was 1/6 pence closing time was 22-00 ,if tide was right i would fish what was called the banjo after pier was closed, i caught many good sized Dover sole useing rag fishing as close as possible to the pylons ,u could fish in all weather snow rain wind i remember fishing when it started to snow it got so heavy u couldn't c the the promenade but the fishing was awesome, Happy days .Happy catching from AUSTRALIA Nick
Happy memories was hoping you would see this upload Nick
@@SaltwaterAngler awesome Matt always look out 4 u , funny the only fish i never caught was a dog fish plenty of other fish. Happy catching from AUSTRALIA Nick
Hi Matt.
I personally would never fish this pier , cant take your own sarnies and flask.
Absolutely ridiculous.
And then get ripped off for your food and drink.
I hope nobody fishes it.
BTW loved the video as usual.
Sorry about the rant but it needs saying.
Hi Chris thanks for watching , think you might talk for a fair few Anglers 🫡
have too agree , the anglers will loose faith . pay too fish and cant eat your own food , beserk
Cheers Dave , thanks Chris for bringing this up. I can refer this all back to them too because they are not Anglers.Hopefully we can force a change. The thing is the pier is not owned by the people anymore and is in effect someone’s property. When I win the lottery I’ll buy it back and we can eat what ever we want
@@SaltwaterAngler its mental no one will fish it , you travel there with butties and flask , eat and drink before u fish , wont work , good luck with lotto matt
It is ridiculous and will ironically stifle business from locals and I'd imagine a not insignificant number of anglers too. If they enticed people to use the pier freely, they would have casual buyers anyway. Otherwise it just smacks of underhanded and petty monopolising.
Nice one Matt. Great effort and brave boy not wearing a coat out on the pier in April. At least there were a fair few fish being caught which is always a bonus for this time of the year.
Hello Mate, Good to see your comment as always, Yep thats my super power Not feeling the cold. Fishings picking up just want to see a few Bass before the Lure fishing starts
Always a good watch.👏
Love the drone footage.❤
Great markings and eyes on dogfish.🦈
Nice pier, but no food or drink allowed?🥺
A nice days fishing Matt, and I like the way you are always looking at different set ups.🧑🎓
Thanks for taking us with you, take care and stay safe.😷🙊
Cheers Ian love your comments !
That lost fish gave an aggressive take. A bass?
Love the doggies.They always look like you've just disturbed their nap. Their eyes are amazing. My first day of the year tomorrow fishing the salt; wish me luck.
Yea the continental rod does enhance bites though. Thanks for joining in , like many missed bites over the years we never know for sure
Just disturbed their nap!love it
Nice video thanks Matt! I do love a bit of Pier fishing, mainly because it's about the only marks I can access nowadays. Ours isn't as wide as Hastings though! Very pretty Dogfish - I know they are often moaned at, but I like the look of 'em! Stay safe & well - Dave. 🎣🎣👍👍
Thanks Dave , agreed and good to hear from you
Great vid Matt. Busy down there !😲
Your ‘production’ is great. Different angles, aerial etc. nice collection of species and all without a coat 😄😁 Thanks. Keep ‘em coming. Bass will be here by the end of the month 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻
Thanks Dan, Yep think they are here now- Will save some of those Angles for the bars of Silver
Another really good video well done
Thanks Jonathan
What did the seagull said to you mate😂 well done Matt👌 great video as always 👏 keep it 🔝 bud and tight lines 🎣👊💪
Annnd we back! Always love a new vid. I went out for an hour and half but spider crabs just stripped the bait every cast so I'm home now
No not the dreaded Spider crab- Although Once you taste the claws you might love them again !
Good video❤
Had a few mackerel of the pier last week and today, lure caught schoolie bass and a Gurnard was taken on a float fished prawn today (Sunday).
Good update thanks
you could fish all year round on the pier and it would be nice to see the fishing deck back to use i was born in Hastings in 1959 so i remember what the pier had on it
I guess i'm snagging on some of its remnant's at times ! Lovely to hear from someone that Fished there Years ago. I was looking at some old Brown and white photos of tope being caught .
Wow all that space to yourself Matt, find it strange that you can’t have a flask & sandwich while fishing though.
Great video to watch and you didn’t blank,well done and cheers mate👍
Yea maybe that’s why I had all the space. I can understand why the lack of bringing food is strange historically us sea anglers always love a snack! Not sure how enforced it would be but it’s a private pier and they don’t even have to have us, I just hope enough people fish here so we can show how popular angling is
That's a great session from the pier. Nice mixed bag, having fished the pier multiple times I know just how tough a venue it can be!
Really enjoyed that matt.
P.s a cheeky shout out on your next video would be greatly appreciated 😉 😜.
All the best matt
another cracking vid matt , enjoyed that
Hello mate good to see you commenting again.I did enjoy that and the changeable weather
@@SaltwaterAngler never miss your uploads bro
I think we have a similar problem further west, but it's clearing and the water feels warmer.. Fingers crossed things are warming up🤞
Great video matt love your camera work it's always top class. And also thanks for the shout very much appreciated. Tight lines bud 🎣🎣🎣
No worries , keep it up

@@SaltwaterAngler thanks mate 😊👍🏼🎣🎣
Nice video man
Thanks for watching
I recon that bite was definitely a fish 😂😊
Spider crab ?
SW .Ireland , isolated surf beaches , spring tides , full flood by dusk or dawn . The big bass are waiting .
Ohh yes know that well and will be back again
Hi matt great video i live on isle of wight and always wondered what hastings pier fished like you get far more from your pier than ours i mainly do beach fishing and haven't caught a flounder or any flat fish for years would like to see more fishing videos from other areas of hastings
Hi Pete thanks for that. Yep more videos coming.
Hi Matt, is that my green bucket ?. Good video thanks.
Ba haaa yes it is , I’ll mark it up with “borrowed from Cliff” and every time you see it in the video you can charge me rental rates of 10p a minute.
High Matt, just went to look at a video i think was one of your's ?
But removed by unloader ?
Was it one of your's, had notification of upload.
Cheers Les.
Think the no food or drink of your own is a bit harsh 😕 as most I think like me take my own butties pork pie or two and a nice flask and hot drink.
Now more so than ever in these hard times, I am also on a pension so even harder now.
I would probably on the beach take water, tea bags, milk, and my little gas burner & kettle.
( maybe not a good idea for the wooden pier though ) .
Looking forward to your next one.
Cheers Les.
Yea just a test of a live video. Your right about the food and drink mate. Anglers need their tea and save some money
@Saltwater Angler High Matt, bit of a late reply 😳 sorry.
I would be pretty certain that the odd few Anglers bringing thier own food and drink would not bankrupt the new owner 🤔 would it 🤔.
Maybe, he could organise a few matches, or charity fish'ins, do the entry at a reasonable price, (part charity donation)and food and drinks at reduced prices for contestants, I'm sure he would not only show good will but make some profit into the bargain 😉.
Got to keep the customer satisfied 😌.
Cheers mate Les 👍.
Told yer so !
Hey, Matt
Is there a charge for fishing on the pier? I know there was previously before the new lease holder. Nice to see it finally open again. Great video again, thanks 👍
£6 for one rod £10 for 2 - as I say all a bit up in the air, hoping someone can come and run the fishing side who understands anglers
That was a missed Dog Bite😂
What do you know…… oh Hello Captain Les - lord of the Pier 😀 That’s the thing about braid and continental rods full of drama.
Regards the missed bite.....dogfish.
Lost fish looked like a possible dog bite😮 and a flash of lightning at 10:29..😮 yeesh..I wouldn't be anywhere on the coast with a carbon rod if lightning was within 20 miles. Too risky
Yes I think those continental rods really show the bites well with braid - dogfish winning the votes -
Watch out for the Spiders 😢
Not yet ....please
Well i did enjoy that, great fun in changeable conditions. For the tackle i use please visit my Blog here

Another great film Matt. Any plans to get out on the lures yet?
Yes , the only problem locally is the gulley water clouding things up -
Great video many thanks!
Is that a Shimano Nasci (2022) on your lure rod? If so how do you find it?
Its that Perfect blend of cost v performance done a review on instagram and my Amazon influencer channel here;
www.amazon.com/shop/saltwaterangler?ref=ac_inf_hm_vp
@Saltwater Angler brilliant just watched your review! I've just got a Nasci not used it yet but glad to hear you rate it! Its so smooth!!
Can I ask please where you would purchase the fishing tickets from please? Am a Hastings local and didn't realize it was open for fishing
Sure they come round to get cash or call in to the Cafe on the west 6 quid for 1 rod 10 for two
@@SaltwaterAngler Thank you buddy appreciate that
what rod do you recommend me to fish from the pier
Hi Matt, Enjoyed your video. Is the fishing for free? Also do you need a fishing licence in Hastings?
You do Pay yes from the Pier but No angling licesnce or fees from the Beach- Unless you count Parking
I fished there in the 90s before they closed it the pier due to a thunder storm
Awesome days 💪
I remember the old fashionable arcade and the old turntable gate to through
Have you ever tryed LRF off the pier before ?? If so what was you catching
No i,ve never done LRF
Well done for sticking it out through that weather. Is the ring of your drop net recycled from something else?
Thanks i don't mind the weather- I was thinking of leaving the drop net there tucked away somewhere- A good Coastal charity shop find that one!
@@SaltwaterAngler thanks, had something very similar years ago and cannot think what the ring was from to make replacement.
Cheers!
@@andrewmair2712 Some folks have made one out of a bicycle rim.
I think dog fish taste nice as a kid rock was all we could afford
Hi Matt, I am at Hastings pier right now fishing with my family but we aren’t allowed near the end of the pier we have to stay near the middle. Do you have any tips for us?
Middle is fine had good fish from there- watch out for spider crabs! Let us know how it goes
@@SaltwaterAngler Thanks, we got a codling, cod and an eel. It was pretty good.
Nice video mate,what rod is that I mean the yellow one...
Trabucco Serenity. Look at Matt's blog link a few posts up about the Sea fishing gear he uses.
noobie question - would you ever lure fish from a pier??
Yes, very much so. Utilise weighted soft plastics, try moving to different spots. Casting out and just dropping a weightless SP as close as you dare ! Just remember where fish ambush points are - good question Steve
do we need for any permit to apply in hastings and around!? thanks
No need
Why didnt you use the drop net for doggy ?
Time, Hard to work the net under the fish in the tide taking them under the Pier. Quicker to bring the Fish up then release
I'm heading to Felixstowe beach, is it any good for lure or spinning? Thanks in advanc
I don’t know , my hunch says take bait for a better chance
@Saltwater Angler so, it's very coloured water. Local tackle shop said always a chance spinning but I didn't have much hope. Defo a fresh bait mark. Thanks tho, and awesome content 👍
Hi matt
Im in hastings from friday
I will be bringing my lure gear and will fish early morning low tides up can you tell me any good mark's to fish i know rock a nor are there others i can try
Gary
Don’t discount going just off the beach
@@SaltwaterAngler pier will be too busy with fluff chuckers I travel light just the basics
So there's no low water marks worth fishing for bass on lures?
What bait do you use buddy, I live near there and want to start fishing, thanks
Lugworm
@@SaltwaterAngler thanks buddy
@@SaltwaterAngler are they dead or alive?
Live much better
What was on the pier years ago , amusements ?
Its got an interesting History and most famously for its Music Hall. But has had arcades too over the years.
@@SaltwaterAngler yer i just looked on google , looked good back in the day . 🎣
How do u check the tide time
tide table app on your phone
Hi Matt.. do you.need a permit to fish from the pier?
Yes you do
Rock salmon officially known as
Yes.... Although that used to be for Bull Huss in the North West.
@@SaltwaterAngler right from the north
Where can I get the bait
Hastings angling centre
Where can u check the tide time?
Tide apps with visuals are good but always have a paper tide table for the year from local tackle shop
@@SaltwaterAngler thx mate
Do think you should have a net
Not for dogfish or flatties no. It’s there for big bass and smoothound
I really did cringe thinking the tip of your lure rod may snap. In theory, the base of a pier should be more productive with all that structure.
Yes provides good cover
Just lug worm?
Lug is a great first bait but Squid, Mackerel pealer crab sandeel have done well over the years
Your hand pulling the line!!!
Better than snapping the rod !
A Doggy?
I think you might be right
No need for clipped rigs off a peir.
Not really three hooked flapper a good rig for here. Don't forget that a clipped rig can present the bait better though.
No interest in fishing somewhere I can't eat and drink my own wares. I doubt the pier caters to my dietary requirements!
Yea that’s a good point , I will pass these comments on as they are trying to understand us Anglers.
Cant take your own food and drink..............you have to buy the overpriced stuff on sale there.
Yea didn’t think that would go down well. Think it’s to do with licensing
If people think, putting back fish is good thing! Fact= the fish is going to die of infection within few hours or days. The hook had severely damaged its mouth.
Thanks for commenting but I don’t really think you know do you. Species dependent and many examples of re-caught fish surviving injuries. This extends to missing gill covers and fins missing. The once record Bass had a treble hook in its stomach. I’m not sure if your a bot or an activist but not sure this is the right channel for you. Take a look at the positivity in the other comments.
Happy to talk further if you have evidence of infection deaths in saltwater
@@SaltwaterAngler Put his about description into Google translate Matt - says it all really. 🙄🙄
