Great seeing you out Sea fishing again George! Change of tide really does help catch fish for sure! I always try go 2 hours before low and high tide and not all but most of the time produce great results 😊
I wouldn't fish with anything less than my Hyper-Macro Turbo Beach Abominator ultra-rod and my trinary-geared spatially gimbaled Piscatorial Dominator reel. Someone told me that the rod and reel's expensive and flashy colour combo attracts the fish better.
What a nice peaceful mark.😀 Loving the drone footage.❤️❤️ Well done on the flounder.🎣👏 For flatties I would use a 1up/1down with beads as an attractant, and a plain lead to allow the bait to move and find the gullies. You can also pick up the rod every so often and give about 2 or 3 winds. This disturbs the seabed and flatties will come to investigate. Don't strike 1st knock, let the bite build, as flatties will just sit on it before taking it. I find ragworm tipped with squid a better bait, but that could be a regional thing. Just my opinion.🤫🤔 To find out more Fish locker does a great flatty video, worth a look. It's a brilliant channel for all types of sea fishing. Hope this helps.🤞🤞 Take care and stay safe.😷🙊
Expert flatty advice! I have also heard about dogs 'treading' for flatties? I thought that was just banter/fishing folklore but seeing this one bury in the sand it could have been true?
Have you tried using a flounder spoon with rag?? Twitch one of them slowly over ground and the flatfish will see it if they're there on the feed the often take ledgered baits as people reel in to change baits they go for the movement.
That worm and mackerel bait set up looked tastier than some of my efforts at canapés 😂Great video love seeing you out sea fishing 👏🏻 but be careful of those quicksands, hidden channels and fast tides...looks pretty but that estuary is potentially lethal...drone footage of the bore coming in would be ace!
😂 didn’t look tasty enough to the fish unfortunately or I might have caught a few more! Yeah it would be really cool to catch the bore on camera one day
Tip. Do a recce at low tide before you fish. shoot some video to remind you of features' locations before committing to an outing. Bottom features will show where to try first, remembering that flow reverses with ebb/flood. Without prior knowledge you'll probably waste time on unproductive ground.
Great place is New Barns Bay. Some quality Flounder in there and plenty Mullet in summer. Sometimes the deeper water is right under your nose. The Flatties also like the rocky areas like to your left and right. Sometimes just under the road tip but can be snaggy.
Using google earth to find sea fishing marks is a good idea. Catching sea fish starts with four questions: what do I want to catch? What does it eat? Where do you find that food source? What time of day or night is the fish most active. For example, Plaice - they eat small marine worms (lug or rag) and pea mussels, you find those food sources on sandy bottoms, and they feed in daylight but come alive at dusk. So, for Plaice - fish a sandy bottom at dusk with lug or rag bait with green and black beads above the hook to immitate pea mussels. Do your homework like that and you're 90% of the way to catching your target before you leave home...
A good idea whilst nothing is biting. Use a spinning rod with flounder spoon. You can get rather a few take a moving bait, whilst leaving static ones 😊
My grandad used to go treading for flatties at arnside. my Dad used to catch a lot of flatties with a big ball weight and a trace behind it with bait, just reel in slowly as the weight puffed up the sand and attracted the flatties in. Good clip and keep up the mixed content.
Got taken there as a kid about 10 i reckon with a friend and his Dad. He called it treading for Fluke, got a couple of flatties stood on a few and imediately lifted my foot off before i got the hang of it. Not seen anyone doing it when i have been again but there must have been a dozen doing at the same time. Must have been late 80s
I bet there are locations around that estuary that are phenomenal at the right time of year? I won't fish my own local estuary until at least May, and only on a spring tide. Then the bass and flatties go mental for the ragworm and shoals of sand eels.
@@alison8526 Search for Arnside bore on TH-cam. Its not big (about a foot or two high) but fills the entire estuary very quickly. You hear it before you see it. Once seen you never forget it.
@AdventureFishingUK I have lol. I didn't find any but my mate did 👍. Think he had two if I remember correctly. Think they once had the world treading championships down there 😉😀
I agree about it's not just the destination itself but alot is about the journey even if you blank you'll learn something about the area you fish. I know I commented 3 times now but I have to pause n comment otherwise I might forget lol but I love targeting flatfish although I'm yet to officially catch one, I kinda did when I set up a rod for a m8 who knew nothing so set up the rod put on a 2 up trace with red n black beads then baited and cast it out and after 30 minutes with no bites I told him to reel in and there was a plaice the size of a dinner plate came up then 2 minutes I hooked one after eratic bites reeled in and just as I was swinging it towards me over the pier railings it dropped off 30ft back down the pier into the water. Does either count as a catch for me? Lol 😆 🤣
Hi mate just come across your videos on TH-cam great videos, I've fished morecambe for many years. If you wanted to meet up sometime can show you a few things help you get more informed
Thanks for watching mate! Would be great to know more about the area. I mostly lure fish to he honest for anything I can really, do you know much about that?
Those baits would be fine on the open beach where they would occur naturally, but up river you need red rag, mussel, clam, crab, possibly limpet, and you could do with some beads or attractors above the hooks. Flatties respond to disturbance so allow your baits to roll a bit and kick up sand. Looks like a great place to fish. You would be amazed how many flatties you can catch if you get it right. Did you find out what the other guy was using? Great video - look forward to the next one! ☺
Hi mate, bit cheeky of me to ask but would you be willing to share this mark with me in a private message? I'm partially disabled and not been fishing in a while now, this looks like a nice mark that I could fish, if you'd be willing to share it. You'd have my word to be discreet with it of course.
Great seeing you out Sea fishing again George! Change of tide really does help catch fish for sure! I always try go 2 hours before low and high tide and not all but most of the time produce great results 😊
It’s fun to mix things up every now and again that’s for sure! And yeah high and low tide are always the best 👍
A tranquil fishing spot like this & a couple of fish is pure heaven!
Absolutely!
I've subscribed just because I started watching and the idea of looking for fishing marks on Google maps hasn't occurred to me until now, Doh..!
Thanks for subscribing mate, it’s a great way to find marks!
Refreshing to see someone who’s not all caught up on stupidly priced gear and just gettingout and fishing
That’s me mate! Thanks for watching

Thanks for sharing. Would love to see more sea fishing videos from you. I'm complete new to this type myself.
Thanks for watching! Got quite a lot planned for this year
Nice setting George. That flat tie was a baby plaice I think colours of spots yet to appear. Well done 😊
Thanks mate!
Beautiful location. Nice to see you attempting some different styles of fishing 🎣
Thanks mate, always fun to mix it up!
What a nice peaceful mark.😀
Loving the drone footage.❤️❤️
Well done on the flounder.🎣👏

@@alison8526 I've heard of it of this too, but, like you, I don't know if it's for real or not.
Thanks for the advice, some really good flatty info there. Much appreciated!
The bird you asked about is a curlew. They can expertly extract lugworm, shellfish and crabs from the sand .
Really? Genuine question as I thought Curlews were only in the northern UK in the summer?
Beautiful birds sadly in decline here in Ireland
Thanks for the ID!
@@adventurefishinguk No worries . I can oblige on most wildlife if needed. Pleased you noticed it !
more sea fishing amd well done 👍
Thanks mate!
Have you tried using a flounder spoon with rag?? Twitch one of them slowly over ground and the flatfish will see it if they're there on the feed the often take ledgered baits as people reel in to change baits they go for the movement.
I’ve never tried it, definitely something that’s on my agenda though! I’ll be having a go in summer for sure

Great idea mate I’ll have to give it a go!
Yes crabs are prolific this time of year mate.
Estuaries are the worst spots for them in winter.
Thanks for the info!

Definitely going to try nearer the rocks next time 👍
Well done George, it's not all about catching , just nice to be out and about .😁

I've just asked @ianturner3033 about a man with a dog going treading for flatties ....?! It was at Arnside! Did your grandad take a dog with him?
Got taken there as a kid about 10 i reckon with a friend and his Dad. He called it treading for Fluke, got a couple of flatties stood on a few and imediately lifted my foot off before i got the hang of it. Not seen anyone doing it when i have been again but there must have been a dozen doing at the same time. Must have been late 80s
I’ve always fancied having a go at treading, the quicksand puts me off though!
Wrong time of year George, try that spot again in Sep/Oct. Flounders depart the estuaries in Winter for spawning in deeper water, enjoyed the video.
I never knew that, always thought winter was a great time for flatties. I’ll be back! Thanks for the info
Hi George great video!!! I sent you an email about your possible trip to Ireland by the way but i don’t think you saw it. 👍🏻🎣
I'll go have a look mate!
Flatties might be likely on Worm Softbaits on Chebs etc. Tight Lines!
I'm sure that would work great this time of year!
I bet there are locations around that estuary that are phenomenal at the right time of year? I won't fish my own local estuary until at least May, and only on a spring tide. Then the bass and flatties go mental for the ragworm and shoals of sand eels.
I reckon it will definitely come to life yes!
Local Rag worm does the trick.
Yeah it certainly does, can be hard to find though!
Only ever fished there once, had to leg it up the beach when the bore came in.
😂 Drone footage of the bore would be amazing!
@@alison8526 Search for Arnside bore on TH-cam. Its not big (about a foot or two high) but fills the entire estuary very quickly. You hear it before you see it. Once seen you never forget it.
Can be a dangerous place! Did you. Catch anything??
@@adventurefishinguk Blanked, but to be fair it was my first time fishing for flatties.
Nice vid mate, ive started doing a bit of shore fishing, you can't beat fishing, watching the sunset over the sea 👍
Thanks mate, great fun isn’t it!
@@adventurefishinguk Im going for it tomorrow 🎣 Goodluck over the weekend mate 👍 fish on!
@@foylad4862 you too mate!
I've had many a great day fishing that Estuary when we were lads. Beautiful place with amazing Sunsets 👍
Gorgeous place isn’t it! Have you ever been treading for them? Always fancied having a go but I’m not sure I’d have the bottle for it 😂
@AdventureFishingUK I have lol. I didn't find any but my mate did 👍. Think he had two if I remember correctly. Think they once had the world treading championships down there 😉😀
You should try spear fishing 😊
It’s tempting, I mostly catch and release though and it doesn’t really lend itself to that!

Haha I’d say both yours and your mates fish count as half a catch, so between the two you’ve done it 😂 thanks for watching!
Cheers mate 👍 hopefully I'll land a flatfish properly this year lol 😆 👍

Good point! The other guy had his first fish on his last fresh lug, then was using frozen black like me afterwards
Wading bird was a curlew :)
Thanks for the info mate!
It's hard going in February no matter where we fish mate,
Absolutely! Been a tough winter so far
noobie question, would have spinning or lures done any good in those conditions in that area ??
I'm not sure mate! Probably not this time of year but maybe in summer
Where is this place!
Morecambe bay 👍
Next time fish when tide is coming in
Tide can come in pretty quick here with an impressive bore at times. Even a couple of sirens go off when the tides coming in!
Tide only actually came in for about half an hour that far up the estuary on a small tide, that’s when I had my fish though!
Hello!
