Merry Christmas!

This weeks video we are out shore fishing…. Yes I said it shore fishing! The sea behaved badly and unfortunately stopped us from launching the boat. A very quick change of plan and positive energy resulted in a fun and social session with mate Kev!

Enjoy.

We are shore fishing on a beach at Pevensey bay.This Famous beach fishing venue can produce a wide variety of fish throughout the year. A Medium to Long rang...

Who do I think I am being all arty and farty and that!

Who likes catching whiting?

I personally do have some appreciation towards them. They give us some sport on those cold days and are good to keep you moving. However after your 20th fish they do become a little tedious!

Spanish trip number 3 of 2024!

Of course we had to go fishing. I always have a flick with a rod when I can. There’s plenty of little fish to target and it’s all rather good fun!

If your wanting to remember what sun and heat looks like why not take a look.

We are back in Spain fishing the walls and marinas that are local to us in Murcia. I love fishing in new places and this is no exception. Fishing in Spain ca...

16th December

This morning myself and right hand man will headed down to Pevensea Bay. Anglers Den Lug worm and squid had been purchased the day before and will had a new rod and reel combo to test out!

The westerly wind was gusting to 30mph but I had picked this venue to tuck us out the way which worked a treat!

The sea was a light chocolate colour and I had gaureteed will at least whiting!

We fished from 08:30 - 13:00, High tide was at 11:30

Bites were consistent and frequent.

We had over 30 whiting, 3 Dabs ( to will and his crazy luminous beads), 2 shore rockling (to me)

The sun was out and the blue skies made for a very pleasant trip!

If your kids want fast action over the Christmas holidays now is definitely worth a time to get out.

Tackle used was from my trusted suppliers Limitless Sea Fishing LTD

Morning all!!

Friday 13th… was it cursed to begin with?

The forecast was looking good, 10mph gusts and easing winds throughout the day. So I had set up the boat and was ready to do a last inshore wrecking trip for the season!

Well…. We arrived at the beach and the waves were grim! Gusts up to 20mph in my face and a little bit of southerly winds mixed in. Unfortunately I called this trip off. I wasn’t going to get where I wanted to be in those conditions and the short light filled days meant I didn’t have the luxury of waiting around.

A last minute shore fishing session was therefore decided! I have 2 Limitless Sea Fishing LTD rods so me and Kev could have a rod each! Rigs were all made and ready to go to!

A quick trip to Anglers Den for 20 prime fresh black lug and a tiny drive from there to our chosen location!

It wasn’t going to be thrilling but I knew we’d have some fish.

We did a little competition on numbers of fish. The whiting were persistent and made for some fun action. I also landed a little dab to!

The scores I think were about 17 fish to me (16 whiting and 1 dab) and Kev had around 12 whiting I think!

Actually considering we didn’t do what we wanted to do and had to last minute adapt it wasn’t the worse day at all! Far from it, a good laugh!

Maybe I should have paid more attention to Friday 13th

Friday 13th….

Unlucky or not?

Who’s out fishing and if you are what you aiming for?

I’m currently toying with the idea of trying some wrecking between the 6-10 mile ranges before the fish really do disperse offshore.

Another option is to anchor up inshore and see what species we can find. I think a lot of whiting and a few dogfish would be on the agenda though!

We welcome to the household this rather cool Long Nose Elephant Fish! Being a fisherman I love watching fish. And these captivate me every evening I get to sit down with them! Such cool creatures!

Morning everyone!

I hope you’re all doing well and getting some sort of fishing in. I have been a little quiet on the fishing front for the last few weeks. I’ve been very busy with work, business and putting together our house.

We have the tank up and running now, just waiting for it to cycle and we will be adding some pretty cool tropical fish in it!

Lots of videos and trips planned so normal service will resume soon!

Well done to everyone who’s got out and managed some fish!

25/11/2024

So a little winter project!

We are currently re-vamping one of our downstairs rooms and me and the other half thought why not get a fish tank!

So 2 hours later and some swearing while lifting it into the house we have a 240 litre Fish tank.

The plan is to design and put together a cold water community tank, to help me relax and unwind.

We’ve kept fish before but it was a while ago!

I will film my journey and you can see all the dramas unfold and errors I’m going to make while putting it together!

Same day, 2 different rods… 2 different fish.

What were they? 👀

15/11/2024

Did someone say fish?

Sorry fish?

Yes finally fish! No squid today!

As much as I’ve enjoyed the squid season (it’s been mental) I really needed some actual fish. Ones that fought a tad more.

So today myself and John went on a half hearted trip to find some fish. The main aim was to dust off the cobwebs, run the engines up to temp and give them a solid blast after a recent repair.

We hit a couple of wrecks, this proved difficult. It’s still early season so didn’t expect much. However we plugged out a few bass and I had 2 semi decent po***ck. Caught using my favourite Sidewinder Lures candyking in 4 inch. After a little chat we decided to visit a patch of mixed ground for the Black Bream. It’s late season but water temps are still higher than average. It was a fish a drift on the ground and bream to about 1.5lb was landed.

We saw a huge pod of Bottlenose dolphins in the day and they gave us a spectacular show!

An excellent day all round

Tight Muscles!

We are on the boat this week targeting squid!

It’s been a phenomenal year for them. Coupled with incredible un-seasonal calm weather it’s meant we’ve been able to target them more often than years previous.

Hope you enjoy this action packed little film about squid fishing from a boat.

Squid fishing has proven to be exciting and non stop this season. Fishing for squid using lures is super fun and easily done. Out on the boat I fish for squi...

Another day out on the squid with The Kraken Charters out of Brighton!

The original plan had to be changed when a primary chartplotter misbehaved in the first few hours. This rendered wrecking nearly impossible. So it was decided we’d head back inshore and go for squid. After all they are in abundance.

The skipper set us up on the reef and it was instant action. Throughout the next couple of hours we had plenty of action and a few decent sizes mixed in. I ended up on 29 squid and the other boys must have had similar numbers also!

A lovely experience on a new boat. I had the bow area all to myself and will have a YouTube video up in the next few weeks showing rigs and plenty of squid!

This week the weather is still perfect for squid. Have you got your fix? Have you filled up the freezer? I reckon we have a few weeks left, providing the weather is well behaved!

Tight lines and massive thanks to Kraken Charters for the invite and the day out!

Morning all! If anyone asks we have Gone fishing!

Sleep… it’s a weird thing isn’t it. Sometimes when your that depleted from it you just can’t seem to get it when you can finally have it. I had cancelled going bait shore fishing yesterday evening with a friend and headed up to bed early. I tossed and turned and just couldn’t switch off.

A few hours later Ben messaged me saying about squidding. The fact my rod was in the car and lures at the ready from the boat it sounded like a hassle free idea. My mate was also up and eager so he popped along to.

Well it was a great couple of hours. Big squids hitting the jigs every so often. Both mylsef and Will got our first ever shore squids.

The seas were super clear and flat, if only we had that more often aye….
