Nice to see our South African techniques getting used around the world and working. Using our style rods and reels and dingles in Norway to the Australians using our sliding technique for live baits. Great stuff Billy.
My brother 😎, living the dream! Fun wolf fish facts.. they are monogamous!.. when boat fishing with several people and a wolf fish is caught more times than not a second wolfie will come up also. Always a larger one and a much smaller one (male and female).. they are a protected species in New England fishing waters.. but before they were protected, I did have the pleasure of catching a few.. and they are DELICIOUS! Tight lines brother!
You inspired me to get out there last night. Only three strap conger, from Worthing beach, but a beautiful night with my old Tilley hissing next to me.
Brilliant video once more. Nice one Billy. Keep them coming. This is my favorite fishing channel becuase of the interntional rigs and tactics as well as the amusing narration.
That was a tough amount of fishing you put in for so little but you tried for us 😊 That mackerel was a chunker but I'm seeing ones bigger than that this time of year in the UK but that's not putting yours down atall. Your the man Billy and you make me chuckle 😂
Mackerel saves the day/video! Just had a grooler in North Wales trying for black bream, howling wind and rain and just one little bream! And then like you the mackerel showed up and put smile on my face 😁 Nothing like the size of the Norwegian beasts but tasty dinner tomorrow! 😉🎣👍
Hi Damien. The fishing is so bad, I have headed further north in the hope of catching something decent. the people here have the similar story as I, and many others. Boat or shore. Let's hope something changes. Thanks Brother 😁👌
@@Billyfishing_watch when I was in Havøysund in July the best spot we found for halibut was in 40/50m! Maybe look for some deep water within casting distance mate????
"Did I hear that land?" Of course I did Billy. That was an absolute worlds first! 'Bahdoushdoush'. The sound of two massive lumps of mackrell hitting the water at distance. Phenominal! 😂
I visited Vega i the start of august, great fishing and beautiful area, we got like 18 species including halibut and wolf fish, I will definitely be back there again
Hi Ciaran. The fishing is so bad here right now! Today I was catching coddling, write on the top of the water. Just like mackerel, things are just crazy right now.
nice catches and funny as always. I watch every video and I dont even fish in salt water :D but please keep the wind sounds in next time. we can still undstand everything and its part of the atmosphere. at least I like it.
I hear what you're saying! But the wind noise was far too much! And was really annoying, and if you're watching on a mobile phone. For some people it's a painful experience! I don't normally film in such high winds. So generally it's not a problem. But I am glad you like it anyway. Thanks Brother 😁👌
Wow that wind must have been pain i know that problem well here in Anglesey luckily when its no good for sea fishing we have the pike lakes cool video Billy you worked hard to get it done !! Great effort bud
They weren’t playing for you in this session mate, I guess the weather had something to do with that. Mackerel was acting like a marlin tail walking 😂, stay safe brother 🤘🏼🤘🏼
Hi billy, enjoyed the video mate,maybe a bit of a hard session though this video, but that's fishing ,the 3rd mark up to the left and your on the money if you no what I mean ....😉👍
Hi Junky. There has been Northern lights almost every night for a month! And everybody is complaining about the lack of fish. The weather has just been brutal. But I live in hope for the autumn, maybe the fishing will get better again! Thanks brother 😁👌
Nice video as always Billy. A small tip from me when it comes to fishing wolfish. Use coalfish as bait instead of mackerel. The wolfish seem to love coalfish. At least here in Norway. I have caught LOTS of wolfish from both the shore and from boats in Norway and coalfish is clearly a better bait for wolfish in my experience. Coalfish is always my go to bait when fishing for wolfish If I am just fishing for whatever there might be, I often fish with one hook with coalfish and one with herring or mackerel as bait. Specially when fishing new places. And when I have caught wolfish those times, I think I have caught them 9/10 times on the coalfish bait. I have no written record to say it is exactly that number, but I don't think it is far off.
There are some chunky Mackerel around now, been regularly catching the 40cm+ ones in the Trondheimfjord, my bait freezer is filling up for targeting Cod when winter comes, but the really big ones at 50+ are eluding me. But i am 100% sure they are swimming around out there! Who catches one first, will it be you, or me? Time will tell! Tight lines!🎣
I wonder 😅 I'm sure we'll find out though brother! There are so many of them, there is something strange going on! When the only God face you can catch is a mackerel. Tight lines Brother 😁👌
Hi Billy do you remember ABC fishing tackle the shop I came across it today as a post I thought you would like to check it out brought a smile to my face
They are in actual fact notoriously difficult to target! Even from boats. And anybody who says they know how it works, are deluded! Very few catches are purposeful. Thanks Brother, much appreciated 😁👌
Yeah, I can't say I've ever had one tbf. I'veseen one caught at saltstramen. I'd say they were more of a by catch than a target species. It's good to see you trying for anything as long as it involves norway tbh, my favourite place 😊
Try the other side of where your fishing into the bay high water halibut low water cod Straight opposite the pens right hand side should be fish a chuck good for spinning as well failing that kjul beach is very good for spinning either side of beach too the beach is only 80 meters wide I normally stay at igeroy brygge you can't miss the shot as there's a pole in the water at the end of the brygge high or low water Really pity you weren't there in 3 weeks could of shown you a few cracking spots Hopefully you'll show us some cracking fish keep up the great work Looking forward to more videos
@@Billyfishing_watch your more than welcome unfortunately the weather can be a pain normally you can find somewhere with the wind on your back I find the conditions totally different to the North east coast where you would need sea conditions rough to have a chance as to vega the flatter the better Good luck on your next venture I'm already booked in for next August and October there's 3 of us in August with a spare place if you fancy you'll be more than welcome stick it in your diary 💪🎣🦈👍
Are you still in Vega Billy, I love that place. Been there twice. I know a good spot you are in with a chance of a big big halibut but youll be hard pressed landing it on your own
No, unfortunately I have to leave! But I'll be back one day. Unbelievably the fishing is awful everywhere! From boats, from the shore! The only thing you can catch is mackerel and small fish!
@@Billyfishing_watch it's not just there so. It's not been great on the west coast here either , water temps are down and never really got to summer temperature so that might have something to do with it
Hi. Yes the tray is made by myself! And no! I will not show it to you as a close up. Because tackle developers are stealing my ideas. And keeping all the money to themselves. Why do all the hard work, and they get the rewards. So apologies brother.
@@Billyfishing_watch no worries bill totally understand thanks for the reply tight lines I’m back out Norway next month for my 4th trip of the year be nice to bump into you and have a chat maybe a session on the rocks 👊👊
Yes you do! Although fishing is good in Norway, there is one slight problem. Finding the area where the eels lie, can be quite difficult. They are more common in the south, and I'm planning to do a video in the future! Thanks Brother 😁👌
@@Billyfishing_watch I really hope you do mate, it would be awesome to see a Norway conger, something no one else seems to fish for up that way either, and a very underrated sporting fish.
I picked a really light one up in Australia about 20 years ago. It's brilliant for reel down here in Ireland for doggies rays etc. Couldn't agree with you more, boss 👍
Nice to see our South African techniques getting used around the world and working. Using our style rods and reels and dingles in Norway to the Australians using our sliding technique for live baits. Great stuff Billy.
Hi John. After almost 50 years of fishing, it is nice to find something new and inspiring. Thanks Brother 😁👌
Yes billy, we love ya show up here on the North East coast. All the best from GRIMSBY
You never know Carl, maybe someday. Thanks Brother 😁👌

Hi bud. I did not know that! Very interesting. I have had the pleasure of eating one as well. As you say delicious! Thanks Brother 😁👌
You inspired me to get out there last night. Only three strap conger, from Worthing beach, but a beautiful night with my old Tilley hissing next to me.
Nothing better brother 😁👌
Can hear that hiss now lol, and it's been 20 odd years since I had one!
That wind sounded brutal Billy, it was blowing a proper hooley.
I liked the look of that three piece rod too.
Nice fishing 👍
Do you ever ask yourself! Why wasn't I born in the Caribbean 🤣 what can you do sister 😁👌
@@Billyfishing_watch 😆😆
Brilliant video once more. Nice one Billy. Keep them coming. This is my favorite fishing channel becuase of the interntional rigs and tactics as well as the amusing narration.
Will do Brother! Glad you like the videos, thanks Ian😁👌
Great video mate , that mackerel put up a right scrap fair do’s , cracking size too,, 👍👍🤠
What I need is, the big guy's that eat them 🤬 thanks brother 😁👌

Thanks Brother, much appreciated 😁👌
definitely think you need to come to South Africa to fish for Kob/Mulloway, great to see you are applying some of our methods abroad.
I definitely think so too Paul. That sounds like a great idea! Maybe one day thanks Brother 😁👌
Let's go billy lad 🎣 them wolf fish are mad lookin
Thanks Brother 😁👌
Working hard for it Billy! Thanks for another great video!
Hi Diane. I sure am! I just wish the fish would pull their weight 🤣 thanks sister 😁👌
I visited Vega i the start of august, great fishing and beautiful area, we got like 18 species including halibut and wolf fish, I will definitely be back there again
Me too, maybe next year. The fishing is so bad this year everywhere. tight lines Brother 😁👌
@@Billyfishing_watch all of us reached our goal of a halibut so I won't complain, but I agree
Deadly stuff Billy! That is a belter of a mackerel
Hi Ciaran. The fishing is so bad here right now! Today I was catching coddling, write on the top of the water. Just like mackerel, things are just crazy right now.
@@Billyfishing_watch at least you're getting out fishing😁🤘
@ciarandunne2741 is not the truth!
Ive been plagued with high winds every time I go out of late, its been poor here! Good to see you catching.
It's been a very strange year, for everybody! Nobody is catching anything good really. Thanks Brother 😁👌
nice catches and funny as always. I watch every video and I dont even fish in salt water :D but please keep the wind sounds in next time. we can still undstand everything and its part of the atmosphere. at least I like it.

Hi Jozse. It has just been the worst season ever for everybody here! Boat or shore fishing. But what can you do. Thanks Brother 😁👌
Nice one Billy - I love catching mackerel, all day long!
Thanks Viking, always there with some support. Much appreciated brother 😁👌
They weren’t playing for you in this session mate, I guess the weather had something to do with that. Mackerel was acting like a marlin tail walking 😂, stay safe brother 🤘🏼🤘🏼
Nobody is catching anything right now! From boats or from the shore! But it's got to improve sooner or later Paul
Thanks Brother 😁👌
Thanks for another great video Billy, them big mackerel put up a good fight alright.
Yes they did Graham! Thanks Brother 😁👌

I have caught LOTS of wolfish from both the shore and from boats in Norway and coalfish is clearly a better bait for wolfish in my experience.
Coalfish is always my go to bait when fishing for wolfish

Specially when fishing new places.
And when I have caught wolfish those times, I think I have caught them 9/10 times on the coalfish bait.
I have no written record to say it is exactly that number, but I don't think it is far off.
Thanks for the info brother, much appreciated. If the wind ever stops blowing, I'll definitely give it a go 😁👌
keep up grinding brother! Love the vids!!!
I will, thanks brother 😁👌
For the bean counters and the good content
Thanks Brother 😁👌
I can't find that kind of jig with 2 single hooks in my usual (web)shops. Does it have some special name, or do you make them yourself?
Hi bud. I tie my own! But they're just called twin assists. Have a look on AliExpress. Thanks Brother 😁👌
Billy if you get bored !!
TH-cam Tiny Tim calling a fishery?!!!
Do you know Tiny Tim ??? 4-5years Old videos my favorites 😂😂
Hi bud. No I don't know tiny Tim, but I'll have a look. Honestly I'm never really bored. Thanks Brother 😁👌

Hi Niall. As it goes I know Alan quite well!
@@Billyfishing_watch an absolute gent
From what i understand of wolf fish ,theyre territorial and bridge stantions are a good place to try big man 💪
They are in actual fact notoriously difficult to target! Even from boats. And anybody who says they know how it works, are deluded! Very few catches are purposeful. Thanks Brother, much appreciated 😁👌
Yeah, I can't say I've ever had one tbf. I'veseen one caught at saltstramen.
I'd say they were more of a by catch than a target species.
It's good to see you trying for anything as long as it involves norway tbh, my favourite place 😊
@seananderson7725 there was two huge ones caught right where I was fishing! What's the lads were there for a week. All I had was half a tide!
Well let's face it ,we don't go to Norway for sunshine with gentle breezes, very much a lottery 😅.
I'm sure one day will be your day 🤞
Try the other side of where your fishing into the bay high water halibut low water cod
Straight opposite the pens right hand side should be fish a chuck good for spinning as well failing that kjul beach is very good for spinning either side of beach too the beach is only 80 meters wide
I normally stay at igeroy brygge you can't miss the shot as there's a pole in the water at the end of the brygge high or low water
Really pity you weren't there in 3 weeks could of shown you a few cracking spots
Hopefully you'll show us some cracking fish keep up the great work
Looking forward to more videos
Hi bud! The weather has shut me down for the last week! And it left me but no choice than to go somewhere else! But thanks for the info buddy 😁👌

I'm already booked in for next August and October there's 3 of us in August with a spare place if you fancy you'll be more than welcome

Well, been hearing you talk about Alixpress, so ordered a surf reel for 20 odd quid. Will see how it goes lol!
I think you might be surprised!
@Billyfishing_watch it's arrived, and to be honest kind of blown away. Looks and runs as good as my Okuma 8K.
@nigelmilne3503 nice 👌
there hasnt that much fish and catch this summer here at vega probably because there is no fish in the fish farms
Hi Idar. The fishing has been pretty bad, most places so far! Except in the south West. Hopefully it will improve soon. Thanks Brother 😁👌
👋✌️
Thanks Brother 😁👌
BILLY!!!!
Thanks Brother 😁👌
It was KELP😈!!!
🤣👌 Thanks Brother 😁
Defo need to get a belt. It gets painful with a decent fish deep water and a 13ft century.
Yep! It's not hard to do, that ring is helpful. Thanks Brother 😁👌
