Game of two halves sums it up Chris. Another superb video thanks. Your lures just make the bother and mess of bait fishing so irrelevant. Perfect for Kayak fishing for sure.
Fantastic I'd quite happily share my favourite local marks with this guy. Great to see returning the fish. To many guys killing every fish they catch a great watch.
Yeah high five each other while trawlers behind you scoop tonnes of fish and then after you finish your fishing session go to waitrose and buy fish so trawlers can continue destroying our waters. Nothing wrong with catching and keeping couple for the table
@@poLaczekCebularz Hi mate, I have never said I’ve a problem with people taking fish home so I’m not sure what your point is? I take fish home myself on occasion as I’ve said many times. What I am against is people taking everything they catch home and wasting it…ending up in the bin or in the dog. 👍🎣
I like to see them swim away, don’t get me wrong I do like a bit of cod and if one doesn’t make it it certainly gets munched but I do get a lot of pleasure seeing them go back 👍🎣
@@onthedropfishing l tell u man, if everybody was like u, the world would be a much more peaceful place. I am saying this in general no greed, no too much ambition, modesty... u have all these pal. Fair play to u again...
From the doldrums to ecstatic in the flick of a switch which brightened your day. Yes, some superb cod and Pollock. What a fantastic session Chris. Enjoyed that mate.
Aye there were a few nice fish on that trip. No point in me keeping them though - I was living in a campervan during a heatwave!🤣 Thanks for the sub it’s much appreciated! Tight lines pal 🎣
Hiya Chris, I watch a lot of other fishing channels and have just added yours to my list, as I find you ethical and comical, that chuckle makes me chuckle, easy sub,gonna catch up with your other vids, all the best
Thanks very much Mick, I’m glad you’re enjoying the content there’s plenty for you to get through on the channel whilst I keep my fingers crossed for a weather window 🤞 Hopefully get out in the next week. Thanks for the sub it’s much appreciated. Tight lines 👍🎣
Your up my neck of the woods, I live just down the coast in Dunbar, there are lots of nice marks around the golf course and further east towards the power station, another great video👍
Yes another entertaining video Chris, get in good sir. Looking g forward to some good weather in the coming weeks here in Cornwall. Oh for some pollack like those you caught.
Your lucky you live on the east coast, I bought a Jackson Kraken last year to fish from but never get chance to use it as it's always to rough, very surfy beach here on the Fylde coast and we have a big sand bank making coming back in very nerv racking lol
Just stumbled on your channel...What a difference a few hours makes. Nice haul of fish there, glad it picked up for you. Turned out to be a cracking session. All the best
Cracking video some lovely fish from NB, just stumbled on your channel, makes me miss my kayak you got a sub from me, hope you had as much fun as i did watching will be keeping eye out for your videos. Tight Lines pal
That’s the only time I’ve fished it so I’m not sure if it was a coincidence or if the flood brought them on. I’ll be back this summer though so more time to work the place out 👍🎣
Hi, good vid, only getting into kayakin at 61 after years of boating with outboards lol. Admire your courage away out there to bass rock, but you obv know your stuff and that kayak looks super stable, what model is it? Nice to see the fish being returned too. Tight lines matey!
Hi mate, I’m glad you enjoyed it. It’s Craiglieth I’m at in this in one - I haven’t fished Bass Rock yet but you never know if the weathers right I might get out there one day. The kayak I’m using in this vid is my Galaxy Sturgeon FX. I’ve had that one a few years now and I really like it. Hope you find the fish next time you’re out 👍🎣
Thanks mate, I like to see them swim away, plus when I made this vid I was travelling around Scotland in a camper van during a heatwave! What on earth am I gonna do with a bag full of cod! 🤣🎣😷
Im thinking of buying a Galaxy Sturgeon. What type of seat do you use it mate? I ask, because, it looks like you can sit side on without any straps getting in your way of your legs. Cheers
Hi Stewart, I just use the stadium seat that comes with the Sturgeon FX, the straps don’t bother me, I’ve always fished side saddle even with the standard seat on my other kayaks. Hope that helps 👍🎣
Hi mate, I use a Typhoon PS330 extreme - when I bought it (used new with tags) it I didn’t realise it was a medium broad….but by pure coincidence it’s perfect. I’m 5’10” and 13 stone so not a chunk but the broad cut leaves loads of room for layers in the winter and plenty of room to breath in the summer. It’s absolutely perfect for me. A lot of people use the typhoon PS330/430 Hope that helps 👍🎣
Yes I’ve had plenty of close encounters with the dolphins, the seals are always nosing around and at St Abbs once a pair of pilot whales came within 15 feet of the kayak. 👍🎣
Brilliant video again pal , that’s my venue sorted for this weekend coming , did you launch at North Berwick , I’ll be launching my sib from there need to check the charges tomorrow
Cheers William, I’m glad you enjoyed it. I launched from the south end of 5he beach to the south next to the golf club. It was just far to busy to launch from the harbour when I was there as there was a festival on. Hope you have a great day mate 👍🎣
High love your fishing ,how is it for parking etc at Craig leith -south east. They haven’t stopped us fishing there have they .. thanks for some info John.
Hi John, I’m glad you’re enjoying the content. Last time I was there the parking near the harbour was very busy but if you go a little further east you can park up and launch further down the beach. Hope that helps mate 👍🎣
Hi mate, in this vid I’m using my Galaxy Sturgeon FX. The channel has a discount code at Galaxy Kayaks UK if you fancy one. It’s OTD5 that’ll save you a few quid. Any questions just ask. Tight lines 👍🎣
It is, it’s a BnM toolbox, so easy it wouldn’t be worth a vid. You can get the male railblaza part off eBay and you just screw it to the bottom of the toolbox. Job done! 👍🎣
It was a fun day in the end, I couldn’t believe how busy North Berwick was! I was imagining some quaint quiet little village. It was chocka! 🤣 I had a look at the launch for bass rock as well so I’ll definitely be back up at some point to give it a go 👍🎣
@@onthedropfishing for sure and it looks like you were up the last day of Fridge by the sea. North Berwick is amazing. Hope you got a steampunk coffee. If not get that on your list. Great fishing when it’s on tho. :)
Hi mate, they’re called Sticky Baits Bait Sprays - not sure how much of a difference they make but they certainly can’t be doing any harm! Glad you’re enjoying the content 👍🎣
Ahh, I'm in, get in, hehe, brilliant, look at this lad, bit more drag, what a beauty, get in, see ya pal. 😂 Excellent afternoon of fishing. Good on you. What kayak are you using?
Hi mate, Just watched my first vid from you.( subbed) and cant believe how stable your kayak seems to be. Do you use any out riggers. Mine is 80cm wide but doesn't seem as stable. Cheers.
Hi mate, thanks for the sub it's much appreciated. No I don't use outriggers, just be sure to keep my centre of gravity (head) in the middle of the kayak. The Sturgeon is a pretty stable kayak as well mind. What are you paddling? 👍🎣
@@onthedropfishing Thx 4 reply. Im on my 1st kayak. A chinese thing call horizon. Its a fishing kayak but on the cheap. Lol. Nothing wrong with it really, was just surprised how stable u kept your. Keep em coming.
Cracking video fella. I've not long purchased myself a kayak. What line would you recommend for lure fishing. Complete newbie here. Keep up the awesome content!
Hi. I kayak fish around Craigleith and rarely catch anything other than mackerel. Maybe I'm fishing too shallow as I cast and retrieve. Do you let your lure drop to the bottom?
Hi mate, in this vid I was fishing vertically and literally tapping my lure on the bottom about 15ft out from the island. Light braid is key as it keeps your lure on the bottom even when the wind and tide are moving you along. Hope that helps 👍🎣
@@onthedropfishing thank you very much for answering. Appreciate that. I’ve always used mono so will give braid a try. Thanks for the tip. If you use a leader let me know. Thanks again and here’s to catching a big one. 🎣
Hey Chris, great video this… somehow I had missed this one so glad I caught up with it. I am very interested in popping up here with the SIB some time in the future! What’s the launching arrangement like for this mark? Cheers!
Glad you enjoyed it mate. There’s a slip or two around the harbour. I launch the kayak from the beach to the east but I doubt you’d get the sib through the gap. I think you have to pay for the main slip in the harbour but I don’t know how much 👍🎣
What would be your top must have equipment for sea kayak fishing , thinking of getting a kayak but want to plan out all the things I would need , more for the safety aspect I’m thinking , great videos keep up the good work and tight lines
Hi mate, PFD (personal floatation device) Floating waterproof VHF Radio and a drysuit are the three things I wouldn’t go to see without. In the height of summer some folk where a wetsuit or dry trousers but I’ve always stuck to the drysuit. It’s a fantastic sport you’ll love it. Hope that helps 👍🎣
@@cboyd765 A rule of thumb used to be 50% for the kayak and fishing stuff and 50% for safety….whether that formula still stands in the current financial climate with the cost of kayaks etc i’m not so sure! but I don’t imagine it’s that far out 👍🎣
Hi Chris, I find your videos really entertaining, keep up the good work, can you please let me know what is the make and model of your dry suit and if there is noticeable difference in speed between the sturgeon fx and the supernova fx? Cheers Reidy
Hi mate, glad you’re enjoying the content. The drysuit is a Typhoon PS330 Extreme. The main difference between the the Supernova and the Sturgeon FX is size and weight. The speed difference of the pedal/flipper drive maybe slightly favours the Supernova but some prefer the flipper. The supernova is bigger, heavier and harder to car top than the sturgeon. Hope that helps.
Hi mate, thanks very much for your detailed answer, so I could basically get my dry suit based on the price difference, and not have to worry about lugging a heavy kayak on my roof, minds made up, cheers
To be honest with you Kev I really don’t think it makes that much difference but you can loads of different flavours from go outdoors. They’re called “Sticky Baits Bait Spray” It can’t be doing any harm 👍🎣
Well it turned out nice again as George Formby would say, great session, how is the pedals going compaired to the motor? Better for keeping fit I would imagine, well done anyway Chris 👍
Hi mate, I never take it for granted but I do feel very safe. I have my drysuit, pfd and my vhf as well as gps on my sounder so I feel well prepared. I also did a days self rescue course which adds to that feeling of being well prepared 👍🎣
West of the harbour is probably the easiest. You can get quite close to the free slip (have to pay for the one in the harbour) if it’s dead busy you can get in the beach near the golf course to the east 👍🎣
Ho Robbie mate, yes I do get it on and off myself. The sturgeon is much easier than the supernova for a solo load as it’s lighter. The sturgeon I just slide up two bits of drainpipe on the side…….it’s hard to explain, in fact it’s probably easier if I just send you a pic on messenger Robbie! I’ll dig one out and send it in the morning 👍🎣
I like to see them swim away Harry, and as it happens I was kipping in a van by a golf course during a heat wave that week! It stank enough as it was without adding 10lb of cod into the mix 🤣🤣🤣🎣 Tighr lines mate

Iv just bought myself a wildcat
I like the idea of the tackle box mounted like that
Was this something you done yourself or a bought one to fit

Thanks very much I’m glad you enjoyed it. I bet you’ve got some good bass fishing in Spain 👍🎣
Buhhh los bases de España son mas listos que el hambre pero los conseguiras engañar....
That's near me, what a good afternoon you had. Do you think it was the tide that turned on the fish?
That’s the only time I’ve fished it so I’m not sure if it was a coincidence or if the flood brought them on. I’ll be back this summer though so more time to work the place out 👍🎣
Trying this mark again this year? Mackerel aren’t in yet which helps reaching the bottom
Definitely mate. I didn’t make it last year but I’ll be there in a month or so. I think the water needs to warm a little more first

Hi mate, PFD (personal floatation device) Floating waterproof VHF Radio and a drysuit are the three things I wouldn’t go to see without. In the height of summer some folk where a wetsuit or dry trousers but I’ve always stuck to the drysuit. It’s a fantastic sport you’ll love it. Hope that helps 👍🎣
@@onthedropfishing cheers just trying to sort out all the essentials so I can work out budget for kayak
@@cboyd765 A rule of thumb used to be 50% for the kayak and fishing stuff and 50% for safety….whether that formula still stands in the current financial climate with the cost of kayaks etc i’m not so sure! but I don’t imagine it’s that far out 👍🎣
Hi Chris, I find your videos really entertaining, keep up the good work, can you please let me know what is the make and model of your dry suit and if there is noticeable difference in speed between the sturgeon fx and the supernova fx? Cheers Reidy
Hi mate, glad you’re enjoying the content. The drysuit is a Typhoon PS330 Extreme. The main difference between the the Supernova and the Sturgeon FX is size and weight. The speed difference of the pedal/flipper drive maybe slightly favours the Supernova but some prefer the flipper. The supernova is bigger, heavier and harder to car top than the sturgeon. Hope that helps.
Hi mate, thanks very much for your detailed answer, so I could basically get my dry suit based on the price difference, and not have to worry about lugging a heavy kayak on my roof, minds made up, cheers
Do you have a link for the blood worm spray ? I can't keep spending hours on the water with blanks 🤣😂🤣
To be honest with you Kev I really don’t think it makes that much difference but you can loads of different flavours from go outdoors. They’re called “Sticky Baits Bait Spray” It can’t be doing any harm 👍🎣
Well it turned out nice again as George Formby would say, great session, how is the pedals going compaired to the motor? Better for keeping fit I would imagine, well done anyway Chris 👍
Thanks Andy, the pedals are reasonably easy compared to paddling…but not as easy as the motor obvs! 🤣🎣
As ever a great fun video. Do you never keep and eat your fish?
Cheers mate, yeah once in a while if I’ve gut hooked one. I do like a bit of cod but I do like to see them swim away as well 👍🎣
Absolutely class mate!! Where do you buy the bloodworm spray?
Cheers Ryan, I get it from go outdoors. I’m not sure it really makes any difference but it can’t do any harm! 🎣
@@onthedropfishing ok I will check that out!! The fish are bound to smell it l.
Hi, how safe do you feel on that kayak?
Hi mate, I never take it for granted but I do feel very safe. I have my drysuit, pfd and my vhf as well as gps on my sounder so I feel well prepared. I also did a days self rescue course which adds to that feeling of being well prepared 👍🎣
@@onthedropfishing cove just south of aberdeen is quite good for kayak fishing, if you get the weather right.
How do you rate the Galaxy Kayak??
I’ve had two sturgeons and they’ve both been great for me 👍
Well in! What depth were you getting them at? Thanks
They were in the shallower water close to the island. About 10-14 metres 👍🎣
Hi where do you park for fishing here
West of the harbour is probably the easiest. You can get quite close to the free slip (have to pay for the one in the harbour) if it’s dead busy you can get in the beach near the golf course to the east 👍🎣
Hi Chris. How do you transport your kayak ? Do you manage to handle it yourself getting it on and off. Any tips for doing so?
Ho Robbie mate, yes I do get it on and off myself. The sturgeon is much easier than the supernova for a solo load as it’s lighter. The sturgeon I just slide up two bits of drainpipe on the side…….it’s hard to explain, in fact it’s probably easier if I just send you a pic on messenger Robbie! I’ll dig one out and send it in the morning 👍🎣
@@onthedropfishing cheers mate just bought a stergeon fx so just trying to find best way to load it solo. Cheers
Love your videos mate 10/10 class 👍🏻
I gotta ask you why don’t you take home for the plate ???..
I like to see them swim away Harry, and as it happens I was kipping in a van by a golf course during a heat wave that week! It stank enough as it was without adding 10lb of cod into the mix 🤣🤣🤣🎣 Tighr lines mate
Hi, can I ask, do you transport your kayak on a roof rack?
I do yes, I put it on my T5 Camper 👍🎣
What did you put on your lure
It’s called Sticky Baits Bait spray, not sure if it makes much difference to be honest but it certainly can’t be doing any harm! 👍🎣
What do you edit your videos on mate?
Hi Paul, I edit in Final Cut Pro X on an M1 MacBook Pro. It never misses a beat 👍🎣
Where's your fx ?
The supernova is in the garage I took the sturgeon this time because it’s lighter and the launch here is a long drag 🎣👍
Whats your record cod?
Not that big off the kayak around 9/10lb but I’ve got plans to put that right…a trip north, very north! Watch this space! 🤣 Tight lines 🎣
@@onthedropfishing nice one!
"if there's no improvement I'm going to get fish and chips"
But you just threw a load of tasty fish back?
Other nations are laughing at us Brits!!
😄
Ha ha I was living in a camper van in a heatwave down the side of a golf course! Not the best conditions to cook cod and chips in lol 🤣
I watch all of your videos and try using the same lures etc. bought some of that stink spray…… and it leaked in my tackle box!!!! 🤢🤢🤮🤮
Oh dear! That’ll be the gift that keeps on giving! 🤣🎣
Can't stand all the silly laughing, not for me too annoying
Just turn the volume down, stick some tunes on 🤣🎣
