Well done bud, the time i spent there as a kid/teen with my dad and all my family members that are into fishing, and caught loads of flounder there, used to fish between the 2 sailing clubs and in the bay that you are fishing.
Fond memories of youthful fishing is something I really buy into and try to promote. I have been doing coaching courses with a view to helping young anglers into sea fishing. I will be back some time soon.
Evening Hill, cracking little venue. It’s nice a bit further along the footpath too, Poole Council even provide benches for us to sit on 😂
I’ve also fished further left and had some nice small guilts.
@@seaangling Holly Bush a bit further along Shore Road is another good spot. This time of year there’s no swimmers/paddlers/SUP’ers to hook into 😂
Loved your video and enthusiasm also like how you care for you fish 5☆. Made me laugh when you said you got the fish on the wishbone rig ...both your rods had wishbones on lol. Been watching a few match anglers(well known that have fishing shops) and their fish care is pathetic, glad you show them how to do it.
A bucket filled with water is an easy thing to do although I’ve been searching for a collapsible throwing bucket for a while with little success. There is still plenty we could do in sea angling to promote and encourage fish care. Billy is promoting latex elastic, unhooking in a sympathetic way and barbless or squashed barbed hooks all play their part.
I do chop and swap my rigs a lot so I may have switched to something else and then back again. Some conditions mean rigs don’t fish as you would expect and I like to experiment.
Glad you enjoyed the film 🎣👍🏻
@@seaangling ye I don't mind anyone taking fish for their tables but I won't fish a lot of our matches because they take fish to weigh in! I've asked numerous organisers why they can't catch witness and release but it's a down to cheating and was also told about how many fish trawlers kill. I was fishing Hornsea North beaches a few weeks ago and looked up and down and there was only myself and the guy next up from me with a bucket of water ready. Regarding hooks I squash but think we should go down the fresh water idea of micro barb or better still barbless hooks. Think there's a few collapsible buckets out there now but I use a pasting bucket because it's longer for the fish and fill the bucket with flask and bits and bobs for the session.
Superb video Mark, and well done on getting the target! Catching up on a couple of Videos I didn't have time to watch last week. Definitely going to find some time to make some Wishbone rigs and try for some flatties down here. Stay safe & well! - Dave. 👍👍
Wishbones work well as they present 2 baits close together plus you can set the distance between them. I’m working on an up and over wishbone rig.
Well done Mark.... Good to see you get your reward after all the effort you put into it 👍
It only took 5 sessions and 4 venues. 😂
Well done Mark all that hard work paid off well done 👍 🎣 🐟
It didn’t come easy but if it did where would the challenge be?
5 sessions and 4 venues. 🤨
cracking video Mark keep them coming 👍
Cheers Daniel, off to the big beach this weekend. 🎣👍🏻
Nice one Mark, glad you got one. Hopefully you get the illusive solent flounder.
I’ll keep trying, there is a competition at Weston on the 23rd.
Well done. Great video 👌
Thank you, it was a long but enjoyable day.
Good work mate, I know how that must have felt. Made me want to get out, think ill dust the old sea rods off tomorrow night, coffee cup for a start, nice and local. Inspired stuff mate.
Cheers buddy, still makes me chuckle when I think of that undulate you had there. I was only gone 5 minutes and you reeled in a kraken. 🎣
@@seaangling cor yeah, wasn't going to weigh it either until you said it was a beast. Had some good fishing down there. Defo up for a few evenings now the fishing bug is back.
@@thesweetcornkid266 beach fishing is pretty poor atm but any chance is worth taking.
Well done Mark, nicely marked flounder. 🏆
Cheers Andy, I was a very happy boy. It wasn’t the biggest but it was very welcome after so much effort. 🎣👍🏻
Thanks Mark ! I really enjoyed the videos over Xmas . You have inspired me to get the sea rods out again .
Hi Dave, I’m glad you enjoyed them as there always seems to be a shortage over a time when I think people actually have time to watch. Prep your kit and pick a nice weather window and dip a line, fresh air and the outdoors makes for a good nights sleep. 😉🎣👍🏻
Blimey Mark, how did 'Little Bounder' the only Solent Flounder find his way to Poole Harbour for the evening? He certainly didn't expect you to be there eh? Well done, perseverance has paid off.
I think he was on his holidays. 😂
Well done on the flounder 👍 looked a nice size as well.
I have heard there are some areas where there are some clonkers in the harbour. I just need to find them. 😜
Well done mark there is much better marks in poole
For big flounder ,nice to see u hitting my favourite spots
I’d love to hear more, message if you like 🎣👍🏻
@@seaangling are u on insta
Congratulations on your flounder, nice to see one from the harbour they are scarce due to the seal population being reintroduced 3 or 4 years back, used to see several a session now lucky to see 2 or 3 per season.
I’m going to go back at some point for another try. Fine tuning of rigs and setup, see what I can do. 👍🏻
@@seaangling always worth trying holes bay but there's no water at low water! or Jerry point or redhorn point (next one along from jerrys) nice little channel runs along both of these points
Sadly I do not belive the lack off flounders has anything to do with the seal population in Poole Harbour! The over bait dragging, the boats that destroy the sea bed after clams! And the potting boats that net the Harbour for pot bait !makes more sence than the 3 seals that resident behind furzey Island. Sadly the flounder fishing has been shocking for last 15 years .. and the seals have been here since I was a nipper 30+ years ago ..
@@rickphillips5098 I would guess it may be partly both didn't think about the dragging having a major affect as there limited to there dragging locations, the seals vanished many years ago and up until 4years ago a flounder session used to produce 6 to 10 a session if I was lucky, however the seals were reintroduced a couple of years back by a wildlife group, there were 5 of them which would be easily sustained in a harbour of the size of Poole but there are now many more,
The last 2 years we have a charter trip comp for flounder and I have only seen 3 landed over 4 boats even had seals sat round the boat ( saw one rob a fish that was being bought in by an angler...)
That said during the spring the harbour is alive with many other species ( plaice, bream, bass pout wrass, dogs, smooth hound even had turbot and codling in the entrance) and obvious thriving, even the dolphins come in the harbour chasing smaller fish.
Let's hope the flounder population recover over the next few years
@@rickphillips5098 we have had a rapid decline here at southampton when they were once prolific and more worrying is that change has happened in a generation.
Fannnnnn tactic video Mr W loved it mate when you back out near the pompey area? Also when you doing that meet and greet session you spoke of last year?
I’ve been rethinking the meet and greet fishing stuff with the COVID situation looking to ease closer to summer. I’m thinking of a monthly meet and fish through the summer.
@@seaangling sounds great 👍
Well done mate chuffed for you 👍
Thank you, I was buzzing. 🎣👍🏻
Great to see the effort paid off 👍 There ten a penny up here and a good size too. Never really target them. Our flounder are the equivalent of your 'tings 😂
And where is that Colin, I’d love to have a go at Ting like flounders? 😉🎣👍🏻
@@seaangling Port Carlisle in Cumbria. Pop in on your next Scotland trip. There mad fir a mackeral strip.
@@colinjames9476 I’m guessing a whole different way to fish as we are shallow shorelines and mainly clean ground?
@@seaangling Probably stick to your tactics . It's an estuary, very sandy/silty and quite a quick tide, has a bore on a big tide and can be hard ro hold bottom. Still though ut fishes well on all tides.
Well done Mark. Great result and well deserved. Did you see Rod Angles video? - he caught a flounder from Shore Road near Hythe recently so it might be worth a go.
We fished shore road over Christmas and I saved the blank with a 4” schoolie. There were other anglers along the front and not much of anything was seen landed. 🤷♂️
Congratulations buddy, still searching for my first one. Difficult trying to get out in the daytime dude to work, but it looked like yours was caught in the evening. Well done mate👍👍
Where are you based?
@@seaangling I'm on the Isle of Wight buddy, have a nose at my vids, I'd be interested to see what you think👍👍
@@FrugalOutdoors I’ll have a look later this evening. 👍🏻
Hi mate great video congrats on the target species looked a nice flounder good condition too 👍
It was a lot of effort and meant a lot to me considering I use to catch them by the dozen and now struggling to catch one. I’ll give Poole a couple more shots over the next month or so and would like to chase an eel.
@@seaangling will have to arrange a trip down mate there is quite a good tide on the 28 / 29 but the downside is the pier closes at 10pm which would give just about an hour or 2 after high depending on which tide
@@nickmann2916 if we can make it work let me know and zip along in the fishing wagon. 👍🏻
@@seaangling will do mark will keep eye on weather etc
Another great video m8 are you going to be going down to Milford shingle bank again at any point
I’m keeping an eye on tides and weather for another opportunity.
hi mark another question mate ive turned to the fenix hl65r and see your using a battery conditioner can i ask what make and where do you get them thanks
I’m pretty sure it was a fenix one but now you’ve asked I’m not sure. I’ll have to have a look.
I’ve just had a look and it is a fenix one and it is not expensive.
