Thanks for another excellent video. You are a truly adaptive angler and the results speak for themselves. I’m learning so much from your detailed and informative narrative 👍
Another cracking Video..In these bleak and dark times your videos are a real Godsend ...always lots of info and great content guaranteed 10/10. Stay safe and keep sharing.
Lovely video as always. It was good to see Milford shingle Bank. I haven't fished it since the mid to late 60's. Its changed so much, in look and fish that can be caught.
Superb video. Lots to see,and especially float fishing. I like how you are so careful with your catches and return them fresh rather than some who mess about measuring,weighing photographing, the fish are almost dead. Really great to have your vids to look forward to in these lockdown days. Thank you for sharing.
How do you carry all that gear ? Have you ever considered a sand beach cart ? I'm not as able as before and I have one . I like a comforts ; nice chair , a folding table etc.
Hi Anthony - I cut down if there is a long walk! I do have trolleys and will use them on flat ground when I take a normal box; which is rare at the moment! Thanks for watching.
Sounds a good ploy to try; though most of my undulates have been caught by mistake fishing for bream - often on the smallest, top hook with a single or double squid tentacle.
Great video Rod, once again with great visual camera lens effects. A good couple of sessions with plenty of fish to keep you enthused. I noticed that you often use a finger stall when casting. I recently bought a Breakaway cannon casting aid. Not sure if you've seen one or heard of them, I haven't had a chance to try it out yet, but reading the reviews, you can get a lot more distance in your cast with it, and it eliminates the need for a skin graft on your finger at the end of a session (LOL), and you can do away with the finger stall. You can get them from most angling shops or online. There are also some TH-cam videos demonstrating how they work. Thanks for sharing the video, look forward to the next one.👌👍.
I fish the surf beaches out in Oz now, we have a similar weed problem with big strands of kelp. You just have to walk backwards up the beach until you have the fish in, then deal with the weed. Another good spot, miss the variety from the shingle beaches.
Yes its a pain fishing where there's a lot of weed, but if there's plenty of fish there, we can put up with that. Thanks for watching and commenting Derek.
Thanks for these videos. I have found them all excellent and filled with great tips. I'm jealous of the bream marks that you have access to. Here on the east coast of Ireland bream isn't a common species unfortunately
Glad you like them and thanks for commenting Colin! I'd rather target bream, than fish for bass - they are rarely caught in Essex, so have to travel for them.
Hi there, I've been watching a few of your videos. They're really informative and enjoyable to watch. Me and my dad started going fishing again the last few months and we simply are having terrible luck. We've been to dungeness, Hythe (exactly where you fished) and also hastings. We kept catching whiting that were just stealing the bait annoyinly so we decided to try a pennel rig using lug, squid and sand eel and just don't seem to be getting anything from it other than whiting. Do you have any suggestions at all for where we may be going wrong or is it just chance on where the fish are on the day? My last question is what locations have you found the most consistent for catching decent sized fish? I've always known it to be dungeness but im unaware of things could've potentially changed over the years. Thank you for reading and all the best, Louie
First of all thanks for watching and commenting Louie. I sympathise! Whiting virtually everywhere at this time of the year. I only specifically target big fish at certain times of the year; rest of the time hoping that one or two may come along whilst fishing for whatever may be there - that way I'm not too disappointed too often! Dungeness has plenty of fish, but has declined - more likely to catch a decent bass, than codling there now; plenty of sizeable dog fish though! For fairly consistent big fish sport, you'll generally need to go to somewhere like the Bristol Channel! However, I will sometimes target rays late February to April in the SE - usually on Sheppey, but are around in many areas; smooth hounds in late May / June - several venues in the SE can produce these, notably Reculver / Minis Bay; codling from December, generally through to about March (though not usually in the SE - too hit and miss now); for decent bass you're best looking for somewhere where they'll go for livebaits - again this is hit or miss, so to avoid blanks, have one rod fishing for whatever's there, even if that has to be whiting!
Great video can't wait until next one, would love to fish this mark one day. I'm on the west coast of Scotland and the fishing this year is the worst I can remember! I fished a beach in Deal in july and could not keep up with fish and had to put one rod away...lol.. Then back home blanked every time,need to move south I think.
Yes @buff7664 - plenty of action in the Deal area and likewise, I switch to just using one rod (next video is from Kingsdown not far from Deal). Hope you start getting them in your area soon!
@@rodsangleuk6283 it was Kingsdown I was fishing next the old ranges, my Mrs. Auntie live just 5 minutes away, wanted to fish the pier but was closed for Covid
Bit delayed watching last week's video but there's a silver lining...I now get to watch two videos in fairly quick succession! A couple of excellent sessions and a fantastic, and relaxing, video as always. I have never tried float fishing from the beach (or feathering for mackerel from the beach come to that)...going to have to give both techniques a go when time and circumstances permit. I assume Lockdown MkII will curtail your activities somewhat? Stay safe. Cheers. Ken
Welcome back Ken and thanks again for watching and commenting! Fishing is still currently permitted (as of 8.11.20), so I shall keep going - will be more local than usual though; however I have plenty of videos from more distant venues still to put out- which are scheduled for well in to December. Four weeks passes quickly, when you're editing a lot of the time and I have to catch up on rig tying, not to mention domestic duties!
Very enjoyable as always Rod! Love your videos because they are so easy on the eye. They are relaxing just like fishing should be. They were fine sized garish you were catching on the float rig. I use 15lb mono when shore fishing with a shock leader suitable to the weight I use What breaking strain braid should I use instead of this? And will the run of the mill shock leader knot do when attaching mono to braid? Look forward to your next video, tight lines.
Thanks for your support and kind words Jerry. I go for 20lb for general beach fishing, 30lb if just targeting large fish, or fishing over mixed ground and where weed is an issue. I occasionally go to 50lb when needed (sometimes straight through) and 10-15lb for light lure work. Don't use too thick a line for shock leaders with fine braid, otherwise you'll have plenty of wind knots to contend with; consider tapererd leaders, but I don't seem to get on with them. There are plenty of braid to mono knots to try, but a simple double-uni does me. If of any use, I demonstrate this in my White Horses video. Good luck and thanks for watching.

Another excellent upload, Rod. Your videos display an extensive knowledge of marks, rigs, tides and tactics gained from years of experience. Thanks!
Thanks @dukeonthewater - really appreciate your comment 👍

Glad to help @mrlup888 and I appreciate your comment!
Great to see the Gars and Bream. A pleasure to watch as usual Rod.
Glad you enjoyed it Tony.
Very relaxing video Rod, Great black bream, great fishing. Thanks for uploading the video. Kind regards Mike. Norfolk. 🐟🐟
Many thanks Mike.

Thanks Andy - plenty of fish at Hurst Spit; but can be difficult at times.
Great videos, packed full of information.awesome !
Glad to hear it!
Awesome Rod ! Such relaxing to watch ! I coarse match too 👍🙏🏻
Thanks for that Lee 👍
Nice to watch, brilliant session, well done.
Many thanks - glad you enjoyed it!
Another great video thank you
Many thanks for that Andrew.
Nice couple of sessions rod ,tight lines
Thanks Lee 👍
I really enjoyed the video you are very good angler and the way you explain your method 👍
Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for saying so Carmelo.
Superb video. Lots to see,and especially float fishing.

Really great to have your vids to look forward to in these lockdown days. Thank you for sharing.
Many thanks for that Anthony. I used to weigh smooth hounds, if they looked well in to double figures, but rarely bother now.
How do you carry all that gear ? Have you ever considered a sand beach cart ? I'm not as able as before and I have one . I like a comforts ; nice chair , a folding table etc.
Hi Anthony - I cut down if there is a long walk! I do have trolleys and will use them on flat ground when I take a normal box; which is rare at the moment! Thanks for watching.
Hi lovely video and fishing session, by the way just wondering where did you get your fishing box with back rest. Thank you
Thanks - I bought a couple online (can't remember the source, but should be easy to find) - RidgeMonkey bucket seat XL.
Thanks Rod never caught Gars or Bream looks good fun.
Thanks Gary - yes, both species put up a good fight on 'lightish' gear.
Good job. Look forward to every vid. Cheers.
Awesome, thank you Bruno!
Another couple of cracking sessions. Enjoyable watch. Have you ever fished the breakwater in Brixham?
Thanks for that Bugsy Boy - unfortunately I haven't ventured that way yet!
Lovely rod the colonic, use it all the time for scratching, 👍🏽👍🏽
Sorry Colmic 👍🏽
Nice one Dave!
Hi thanks just enjoy all of your videos
Glad you like them and thanks for saying so Andy!
Very professional!!!!
Many thanks for saying so Marcin.
Really enjoyed that, find your content very relaxing to watch. Cheers buddy
Glad to hear it and many thanks for saying so @UK sea fishing.
That was a couple of great sessions.Next time you get a small pout try it as live bait or a flapper,the undulates love them !!
Sounds a good ploy to try; though most of my undulates have been caught by mistake fishing for bream - often on the smallest, top hook with a single or double squid tentacle.
That doesn't surprise me,they love squid too 🎣🦈
Great video look forward to seeing you catch some cod
Me too! Good suggestion - will be going for them soon Mark.
Great vid again rod have to much work on to get out you do it for me thanks mate
No worries - thanks for that Simon.
Well done mate you got your target species
Thanks for that Peter.
Another good video and good tips
Thanks Andrew👍

Hi, I'm not sure if anyone else has mentioned this before but the audio only works in one ear. I still love your visa though.
Yes - a problem I'm aware of, but haven't spent the time to try and fix yet! Hope it doesn't spoil things too much!

Had a nice trip there in late September had 6 black bream with 2 just over 2lbs
Lovely - I've yet to catch one over 2lb - had plenty just below that size, mainly from Chesil or Bognor, but not at Hurst yet.

@@rodsangleuk6283 Thank you for the info Rod, much appreciated.
If you had to pick one venue for the rest of your fishing days which one will it be and why?ps love the videos.
Good question Gary. As much as I love Seaford, I'll probably go for Chesil, due to the variety there. Thanks for watching.
Watching England game so watching this to steady my nerves lol
Now need to go fishing to get over it!
A great bream session and stunning conditions too. May I ask what rod rest it is you are using.
Thanks for that. Its a Leeda Icon tripod.
You are the best (I am a boy it is my mum's account)
Thanks for saying so son.
Donyou fish high or low tide here
Where I fished in this video, it's best on the ebb from high water. If you head towards the point, then you can fish it up.
