Catch Fish from the East Kent Coast: DEAL - The Marina

Footage of part of the British Open and a couple of autumn, daytime sessions (recorded on 07.11.21, 11.11.21 and 17.11.21) at The Marina, Deal (Kent, UK). I watched and recorded a small part of the action at C zone during the British Open, prior to fishing this stretch. My first session was a quick couple of hours to the top of the tide, opposite Albion Rd. The second was fished some 10 pegs further towards Sandown Castle over two hours up to and two hours down from high water. I tried to avoid whiting and pouting as much as possible and the sessions resulted in the capture of schoolie bass; dabs, a plaice and a dogfish, as well as plenty of whiting. Approaches, venue details and rigs are covered.

[@oli_t_sea_angling]

subbed, Deal is my local fishing spot so nice to watch other anglers doing their thing 🎣

[@rodsangleuk6283]

Many thanks for that - I need to head that way soon.

[@MrMarko4]

Just found your channel and very much enjoying your videos. As a child I would fish the Kent coast as my Grandmother lived there, miss the area must head back one day.

[@rodsangleuk6283]

Welcome aboard and thanks for watching! Plenty of good marks to fish on the East Kent Coast.

[@gordonfturner]

My favourite part of Kent. Great video, excellent fishing. Some nice dabs.

[@rodsangleuk6283]

Thanks Gordon 👍

[@michaelhayes1068]

This is one of my favourite venues, nice to see the dabs..they were scarce for a few years after the beach was profiled with tons of shingle...very enjoyable and good to see you were busy...thank you.

[@rodsangleuk6283]

Thanks Michael - hopefully better sized dabs will appear soon.

[@tonysapwell30]

Your 2 min from my house, I would of brought you a cuppa tea!

2 sugars please and a hobnob. Thanks for watching Tony.

Great fishing love watching your videos. Great content. I fished the chequers end in the open on peg 48, had 48 fish on my card all whiting except 2 dabs mainly to worm fish baits keep up the great videos would love to see something huge come along one day :-)

[@rodsangleuk6283]

Well done in the Open - have fished Sandwich Bay a fair few times in the past and will cover that area sometime. Thanks for watching and your kind words - will do my best to catch something decent on film (have lost quite a few trying to film their capture)! My best from a beach is a 17lb 3oz cod, but that was well before I started filming sessions, so only have photos of it!

[@michaelbowden1478]

Hi, great job as usual. You said you would be trying different area's around Deal, if you go towards the golf courses, ( towards Sandwich ) don't fish the section just before Sandown castle as it's snagy about 20/30 mts out, go past probably 100 mts at least. Keep the the vid's coming.

[@rodsangleuk6283]

Thanks Michael and thanks for the tips!

[@barryforrister6211]

Great video Rob, lots of dogfish being caught all year round now at this location so surprised you did not get a few more. As usual very informative and professional 👍

[@rodsangleuk6283]

Thanks Barry - I think more dogfish were caught at Walmer in the Open, with few from Deal.

[@andrewnanson565]

Thanks again Alan 👍

[@kenhenley7599]

Hi Mick. Never get bored saying this...another great video. Whilst I would never wish this on anyone, I'm glad that I'm not the only one who loses tackle whether it be by way of crack offs or snags. That plaice during the first session was a nice surprise. I haven't caught a plaice from the shore for years although my biggest from a boat was about 3 and a half pounds and that some years ago - sorry but I had to get that in! The second session certainly kept you busy (5 dabs - nice) and no swimmers, dog walkers, chatty passers by, etc. Good weather too. Must confess I am getting the itch and need to scratch it before Christmas is upon us. Stay safe and well. Cheers. Ken

[@rodsangleuk6283]

Thanks Ken - you can go several sessions without losing any gear, but then lose quit a lot in one go. Certain venues eat up tackle - like Magazine Lane and Samphire Hoe; other times you can just put it down to having a bad day.

Interesting seeing how match marks fished out even though I've never fancied match fishing myself.

[@rodsangleuk6283]

Yes - I watch the odd one, but only coarse match fish at present.

[@colinbailey5273]

hi in the competition do they kill all the fish or are they weighed and returned cheers colin

[@rodsangleuk6283]

Measured and returned.
