Catch fish from Sheppey: SHINGLEBANK

A late autumn, daytime session (recorded on 17.11.20) on the Shinglebank near Barton's Point, Isle of Sheppey (Kent, UK). I initially fished for whatever I could catch, rather than targeting specific species, but changes were made when whiting appeared in numbers. The rationale behind these changes and the rigs used are covered.

First time commenting on your videos. I love the technical aspect of your rigs and attention to detail, and they have converted me into an avid user of a more continental style of fishing. As an 'Old Timer ' I now appreciate using finer braids in most conditions and have definitely increased my catch rate. I fished Tildas after watching your excellent video and the info was spot on

[@rodsangleuk6283]

Nice one Mike. I've got multipliers and 'broomsticks', just need to force myself to use them sometime!

[@Be-lucky-my-friend]

As always a pleasure in watching your Chanel. Information gleened in every one of your trips. Thanks for taking the huge ammount of time and effort to post these. Brilliant.

[@rodsangleuk6283]

Nice of you to say so and thanks for watching.

[@neilsmith7547]

Learn something every time I watch your videos rod. Brilliant.

[@rodsangleuk6283]

Awesome, thank you Neil!

[@tonycross5801]

Great to watch and very informative again Rod. You're starting to tempt me to have a go again after 50 years!

[@rodsangleuk6283]

Go for it!

[@iainbickerstaff7099]

Another great video,always look forward to your videos

[@rodsangleuk6283]

Thanks again Iain!

[@barmyandy7295]

Hi Rob, I've followed your channel for ages en I find it very useful very informative en you show all the rigs... Excellent mate keep up the good work 👍👍👍

[@rodsangleuk6283]

Will do and thanks for your kind words.

[@kevinbuckler1085]

Oh WOW,I've just read your community bit and saw you donate money to the Sepsis Trust,that's fantastic.I nearly died from it 3 years ago and still have ongoing issues from it.They were,and still are, very supportive to me,when I need them.

[@rodsangleuk6283]

Thanks Kevin - yes a good cause indeed and one of my ressons for maintaining this channel; since a good mate of mine died from sepsis earlier in the year. I will however be donating to other charities as well and an update about this will appear in the community post section fairly soon.

[@thomasmckeever1944]

Thanks for posting another entertaining video , your comment on staying longer than normal certainly paid off for me and the missus at Holland last weekend, after umpteen whiting, at low tide the dabs turned up and we had good sport for about a hour 👍

[@rodsangleuk6283]

Good to hear Thomas - I'll be starting my dab campaign fairly soon! Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@stuart0898]

Another quality angling video. Keep them coming!

[@rodsangleuk6283]

Thanks! Will do!

[@marting652]

Another enjoyable and educational film Rod. Thank you again.

[@rodsangleuk6283]

Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for your comment Martin.

[@kenhenley7599]

We moan if it's too hot, we moan if it's too cold, we moan if we catch whiting and we'd moan if we didn't and blanked! Funny old life. But a tremendously good video as always. I see your next one relates to a trip to Shoebury Garrison. Especially looking forward to that one as I have recently been thinking of giving it a go since it's not too far from where I live. Cheers. Ken

[@rodsangleuk6283]

You're right Ken - I've been moaning today - I didn't catch anything from the Bristol Channel and would have loved a whiting!

[@kenhenley7599]

LOL

[@andycollings4302]

A very nice comfortable venue, parking behind you. Wow. Good video as always.

[@rodsangleuk6283]

Thank you very much Andy! Yes - a very convenient fishing location, particularly if you like to take a lot of gear with you.

[@MJC-qj9kt]

Brilliant as always mate. Looks a great place to fish. Keep them coming and looking forward to the next one.

[@rodsangleuk6283]

Thanks, will do!

[@rodsangleuk6283]

Glad it was helpful - looking forward to revisiting the Barton's Point area once lockdown travel restrictions are lifted. Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@gowersponger1]

Thumbs up mate I’ve never fished sheppey but used to look across from hernebay that’s another whitting hotspot.

[@rodsangleuk6283]

Yes - at this time of the year; come spring though and both are good for rays. Thanks for watching @Gowersghost.

[@garycurd1578]

Thanks Rod lots of small whiting at Dungie yesterday and 9 decent Dabs and a foul hooked Sprat .

[@rodsangleuk6283]

Nice one Gary - if the sprats are in, then more dabs should follow. I'll have to wait until Kent comes out of tier 3.

[@andrewfrost8422]

The Whiting and especially Pouting are prime live bait useage, especially for the ‘odd’ Bass or early Cod. I’d certainly have given it a go with an inshore attempt.
Good video.

[@rodsangleuk6283]

Thanks Andrew - it's worth a go, but I generally prefer there to be a well defined 'gutter' for that.

[@chrischaralambous286]

Another good one Rod. Those damned whiting though Grrrrr!!!!👍

[@rodsangleuk6283]

Thanks Chris - I could have done with one today!

[@cpfcgavman1977]

I love sheppy there's a little stream I know that in the summer produces big eels its just off Walden Bay

[@rodsangleuk6283]

Have had plenty of rays from Walden, but night fishing. Hope to get back there in the spring to try and catch them during the day.

[@kennethsmith2758]

Nice to see them back in places. Not caught one for ages in the upper Medway

[@marksimpson5729]

Another good video look forward to next one

Thanks Mark👍

Haha - thanks for that Anthony.

[@bugsyboy705]

As always, cracking video. I'm struggling to find the link to the sheppey rig tutorial.👍🎣

[@rodsangleuk6283]

Coming soon - out in a couple of weeks! Thanjs again Bugsy Boy.

[@rodsangleuk6283]

You should now find the Sheppey rig tutorial in my Grain Tank Traps video, with time stamp at 6:45. I hope this helps.

[@jimmycburfield5997]

Great video. Sheppy rigg; honestly never seen that. Liked it though.

[@rodsangleuk6283]

Thanks Jimmyc. A good rig and one I'll be using more often.

[@MarineMumbles]

Cool video! I’ve fished there since I was a kid! Really interested in how you film your videos? What camera do you use? Do you use editing software to zoom in? Have a Rockpooling marine biology TH-cam channel myself 😃

[@rodsangleuk6283]

Thanks for watching and commenting @MarineMumbles - I use a range of action cameras filming at high resolution, then do all the zooming etc. in post.

[@andydawe6279]

Hi the whiting use to be seasonal perhaps there is nothing eating them always enjoy your videos thanks

[@rodsangleuk6283]

Thanks Andy - there seem to be plenty about.

[@peterfordham5949]

You got to love them Whiting ??? never mind mate you had fun

[@rodsangleuk6283]

Absolutely - its still fun trying to find a way through the whiting to catch something else and you never know- the next whiting could be a PB. Thanks again for watching and commenting Peter.

[@gazellis1961]

Nice video again Rods..Seems funny with other anglers around you fishing,as you seem to have the beach to yourself normaly,plus can you drive and park your car/van right up to where you want to fish ?
Stay safe

[@rodsangleuk6283]

Thanks again👍 Yes - I didn't see anyone there a couple of days prior to this session, so I was surprised to see so many already there when I arrived. Its very convenient- you can drive all along the top of the Shinglebank and park wherever you like.

[@gca259]

Sheppey has a lot of illegal netting - the island is a law unto itself ;-)

[@annabeltheunicorn9374]

You mean there is no law on Sheppey lol

[@rodsangleuk6283]

They could take some of these whiting and leave us the cod Thanks for the info and watching Ben.
