Penn Fathom 25 NLD2 Reel Review âWorth Every Pennyâ
Iâve had really bad luck with the camera. I ordered one from and it came from the UK, it worked for 1 trip. Then the camera wouldnât turn on. The vendor sent a second one and it worked for 3 trips. Now the camera just doesnât boot up and Westin just doesnât respond. You canât troubleshoot the camera either because thereâs no software to connect it to. Iâm still waiting for Westin to respond and help me out.
@@Lineaycarrete Well in a way I am glad you have mentioned this as itâs something I am going to mention when I do the actual review video of the camera as this was just the set up Video but⊠I have had the same issue with 3 cameras now, itâs not just a one off clearly and looking online someone else had had the same the problem on Amazon. Itâs a brilliant designed camera for the job but unfortunately I think there is a design flaw in that it doesnât work long due to the internal switch breaking that turns the camera on I think far to easily.
@@theamputeeangler Iâm glad Iâm not the only one. Itâs definitely a design flaw. Hopefully Westin reaches out to me to send me a new one or help me fix the issue. Iâm a content creator and Iâd love to keep using the camera. By the way, since youâve used the waterwolf, have you had any issues like this? I thought of buying it but it seems like itâs the same people making the camera since itâs from Denmark and similar design. Thanks for your feedback.
@Lineaycarrete I know some of the guys at Westin they have told me theyâre going to respond to you here but if not reach out on Instagram to them! So the guy that makes this one is the same guy who made the water wolf he just jumped ship as i understand it and redesigned this escape cam improving some of the flaws. The Westin is a better more sleek design by far and lighter than the water wolf but if itâs not going to work then itâs a problem đ I have a full review of the water wolf on my channel but this video was taken with it đđ» Crazy Clear Underwater Fishing Camera Footage - Bass Pollack & More czcams.com/video/tLtl9LSpzAY/video.html
@@theamputeeangler thank you 𫶠Iâve wrote them on Instagram yesterday and their support email.
If you donât mind me asking is it illegal to catch them
Hey đ itâs not illegal to catch them and fish for them but it is illegal to keep them they must be returned alive đđ»
@@theamputeeangler ok thanks I will subscribe to you
@@AngryMonkey227 Thank you I appreciate it đ
Thanks for interesting video. Can you see the images in real-time or do you need to take the card out and view in a laptop ?
Hi mate, no you cannot view real time with this but you can do a drift and then use the supplied card ready to plug into a phone and or iPad and look at the footage so not instant but pretty quick if you need or want to
@@theamputeeangler OK thanks. I have often wondered what is down there so might get one. Thanks for your videos
Hi Ben, just been looking through your back catalog of videos and come across this one. You mention trying squid. Have you had any joy with squid or Cuttle for Turbot? Thanks Steve.
Hello mate how are you doing? No itâs not somthing I have tried yet as honestly the time of year I fish for them round here Mackerel and big Launce are plentiful and havenât had the need to try but a big white strip of squid would work as itâs so visual, they also have been caught on bright white lures so I have no doubt it would work. Itâs trying it and having the confidence
@@theamputeeangler Thanks Ben, all good here thanks and I hope the same with you all. I will give Squid or Cuttlefish a go on one rod next time I get chance to fish for them. I will let you know.
@@stephenkerr1002 theyâre out there now on the usual marks I shall be having a go myself again soon. Good luck đ€
You're using beautiful light jigging rods and reels , do you do any jigging?
Yes sir indeed, lots đđ» Slow Jig Fishing Lands Donkey 15lb+ Pollack On Inshore Wreck czcams.com/video/uMziKVvWVZU/video.html
Thanks Ben, itâs great to see a company giving you something to test and review. Gives us an honest opinion. đđŁ
I will always give an honest opinion on stuff regardless mate, the full review of this is coming but Iâm not one of these channels that will just say everything is good or the best as I hate that myself. Honesty is always the key when it comes to product reviews regardless of whether I have been given them free or not mate!
Brilliant informative video Ben, think Iâd be too scared to lose it though đđđđŁ
Thank you mate! I am very selective with where I put it and itâs rigged with a wink link so if the trace snags up that should snap and get the camera back but itâs risky Buisness but you need to gamble to get the good footage
@@theamputeeangler I must admit the underwater footage is incredible đđŁđ
Thanks for the info. đ
Anytime and thank you for watching đ
Excellent stuff Ben⊠needed one of those Thursday to see what the hell snapped me up đđ
Oh no did you get smashed up?! Any ideas?
Not a clue ⊠little bream rig with small mackerel strips ⊠over but of rough ground west of sovereign and it took off like a train .. thought it was a snag at first but then it kept nodding and taking line ⊠snap đ„
Im definitely setting up a camera next time out
@Esoxlucius155 holds lots of Pollack and Cod on that ground that would make a meal of light traces but as with fishing we shall never know eh
I want one nowđ
Theyâre very good bits of kit to be fair. I will do a full review shortly on them.
Excellent presentation, superb video. I am the same as you mostly sea fishing from the boat. I know this is somewhat a variable conditions question, but up to what depth would you get away without the light?
Thank you! Appreciate the feedback honestly i do đ
Well presented Ben Good job mate.
Cheers Wayne much appreciated
Nice one Ben well put together A very informative video.đ
Thanks matey đđ»
Cab be use on jig ?
I wouldnât use this one for slow jigging mate no.
caught and released OVER 30 BASS on rod and line in a 2 hr session recently, bass were all over the incoming makerel shoals of the reefs near Brighton. prefer 3-4 lbs fish for table.
Thereâs been a lot of Bass about lately, I get them out my system early on when theyâre offshore and then like to target them on the floats through the summer but theyâre great sport and nice for easy days fishing close in!
I'm off on Essex coast Sunday few about down here at mo .love the channel, lovely sea fishing .
Thanks Jay appreciate it! I only fish for them a few times a year as theyâre good fun on the lighter gear but there is so many about at the minute from what I am seeing!
Superb video, learnt a lot from it
Appreciate it Mark thank you đđ»
Informative and educational, will use this on a turbot trip in a few weeks
Thank you Steve! Where you fishing out from? I shall be get into full swing for them again shortly here

Good one Ben, Hopefully I'll get out there next week đ
Hopefully the weather plays ball Iâm ready to get back out now after a few weeks off with my newborn!

Great video mate,always fun to share the moment with friends, didn't remember me doing the dance,think I was more excited than fu đ đ đ
Shows how happy we were for him mate! Will get that Turbot trip mapped out this week and planned. Il check tides and stuff towards end of the month early next and get somthing downâŠ.

Wow what a day you had - great sized Pollack - well done!
Cheers Alex and great to see you again after so many years all be it under shit circumstances mate
@@theamputeeangler I have a spare 360 camera with underwater housing if you want to give it a go! its stabilised so you can follow the fish around - bet it would look awesome! Yeah shit circumstances but good to see him off and catch up with old friends :)
@alexhunt123 I have a few underwater vids on my channel mate. You should find the Bass ones from earlier in the year it was crazy. The 360 I havenât got or used yet as some of the settings I have seen make me feel sick watching and it hasnât appealed to me but for the underwater stuff I think it would have a really good use I shall have to have a look đ
@@theamputeeangler You record in 360 then export the flat view you want to see - so its repurposed :) - yeah my Mrs cant watch any 360 "vomitcomet" she doesn't do boats either!
Thanks to Ben and John for their efforts, given me days of great fishing time and time again! Brilliant video like always Ben, reminds me of what a fun day that was!
Youâre welcome mate and it wonât be the last one we have donât worry!
Was absolutely buzzing! Always ready for the next round đđđ
Wrecks seem abit slow this year, maybe I need to look harderđ
@@TheBassRacer The slow wrecks are always slow, but the good ones are always good itâs just knowing them đ
Mate that was so good when Fu got that double, the excitement and elation around the boat brought a massive smile to my face.
Thanks buddy, I like to keep it real here and showcase what fishing should be about and thatâs having fun with your mates catching nice fish! We worked hard to make sure he got that so it was a big sense of relief and joy when he finally did đ

That's not a donkey...! That's a horse! Well done you!

You mentioned that the distance between snoods is 8 inches. Watching your video the distance is at least 3 feet.
Hey Jay The dropper snoods are about 8inches but nothing is approximate itâs not that precious but the bottom hook link is abit longer as I like it flowing abit more that one but this was an early vid I made il have to watch it back and if itâs not clear il remake it đđ»
@@theamputeeangler thanks for the response. I'll definitely try your rig as it increases the catch rate also three baits will create a bigger scent trail. Thanks again for your video.
Great little session and a cracking Pollack, I do love my slow jigging and very much looking forward to getting out on the wrecks again soon đ
Thank you! Iâm hoping to have another crack this weekend if the weather holds for us here!
