- Sea fishing from the Beach on a glorious Sunny day. It’s Spring now here in Sussex so I’ve packed the rigs with beads and lugworm. I’m casting out my continental beach rods as far as I can.
The Plaice fishing has been a bit hit and miss but I wanted to make the most of the weather and I really appreciate how Sea fishing improves my mood or as one calls It nowadays, mental health.
If you like this video then maybe you will find this one fun too.
As always please feel free to comment and join in and even chat amongst yourselves. As I say in the video I do encourage comments.
Great vid as usual. Let’s keep our fingers crossed for a good year after such a soggy start. Tight lines all. 👍🏻👍🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻
Fingers crossed!
Interesting vids keep them coming I just wish I live at your neck of the woods.🐟🐟🐟🐟
Good one Matt👌take care bud 👊💪🎣
Hi Matt.
Been exactly the same as Michael in the previous comment.
Thank so much for the videos its a bright light in my dark life at the moment.
Many thanks Chris
🤛
I’d love to pendulum cast. I’ll have to meet up with you sometime so you can show me
Always love days like this giving you a hint of what’s to come. Great video and many thanks for the tips! 👍
Yea bring on the sun ☀️
Lovely video as usual fun to watch
Jolly good , it was fun no amazing fishing but one of those enjoyable ones
This time of the year its hard to catch any thing
I'm going fishig tomorrow morning on ar local beach with my sons
Brighton beach
2 continental rods for my
One ogly stick for my 10 years old
And Abu garcia,,devil,, for my 3 years old
Great vid again, good edit, always fun. Keeps me motivated watching these
Thanks yea I wanted to get across that new spring feeling , clocks changing and some hope for fishing.
Very impressive video.
But may i offer just a tad of advice.
As a retired tournament caster I'd step up to the greentop lead yeah i know but if your rod will cast them there is a good reason..
Using a greentop will actually SLOW down your cast it will of course add valuable yards which if you start fishing in gullies will keep you there when your pushed back up the shingle by the tide..
Of course you'll need to step up to 80lb mono as leader but using say a 20lb braid the heavier leader won't impede distance at all..
Plus just one final tip. As you release the cast try lowering the rod as the lead decends allowing for the line to peel thru the rings with no friction.
Another tip to give you 2 or 3 more yds.... which could be vital to find those fish..
Like I said cracking video. 😉👍
That’s great , yes casting tips welcome.
Always enjoy your vids Matt - you have a very individual style of filming (in a good way).
Nice to see some spring Plaice. Tight lines sir!
Hello mate, how are you ! Thanks. Hidden in this over the top editing are some actual fishing tips too 😂😂
@@SaltwaterAngler Lol 😂
nice one 👍🎣
Thanks 👍
Awesome again Matt awesome looking day, weather here sunny with a very cool breeze, you would get big fine having dog on beach here unless it's a approved dog beach. Happy catching from AUSTRALIA Nick
Hello mate, always enjoy your weather reports- not quite up to your weather standards here but yes a good day here. For dogs Some beaches change the rules now we are in BST
What a lovely plaice to fish on a sunny spring day
Very good 😂 I was tempted to title this a good plaice to fish too
Nice to see a couple of spring plaice hitting the beach. The casting wasnt too bad either old mate!! Keep up the good work Matt.
Thanks Brian - I’m finding problems using the OTG with bait clips , thankfully less technique required to get distance when I turn to the lure fishing
Some great drone shots on this one mate 😎🎥
Thanks @manicfishing Yea I’m enjoying the drone Mate. I think they show the coastal environment well.
cracking vid as per usual
Thanks mate
Nice day on the beach Matt and a glorious day to add. Oh and nice plaice on top. What more can an angler ask for 😊😊😊
Yes no complaints…. Well maybe some bigger Plaice 😂
Super video matt very cinamatic beginnen really good work on the film and editing work 😊
Thanks mate. Between me and you I’m starting to see the limits of an iPhone and GoPro.Will see if you notice the difference on a Sony cinema lense when I’ve saved up enough pennys.
Yeah definitely it's just next level
Great video thanks Matt! It looked gorgeous there, still a bit early here to be out on the shore in a T-shirt! Probably my old bones! Nice to see a few Plaice coming in. I've just revisited your rig making playlist, and nothing on the Wishbone rig. Perhaps you could do one on a day when you can't get out? Tight lines - stay safe & well. 🎣🎣👍👍
There’s a wishbone on there I think Dave ? If not will do one
1st of all, I think you'd better check your tackle box. You've left your go pro on.🤔😂😂
Nice video. Informative, educational,👏👏👏 especially where you show us how not to cast.🤣🤣
But hey, I'd rather be a crap caster and catch fish,😀 than a good caster who blanks.🥺
Love the drone footage.❤️
Nice mark, nice weather, peace and quiet and a couple or three, (sorry John), 😂, fish.
Sounds like a good day to me.🎣🎣🎣😎
I enjoyed the time out, always good for mental health🤯, thanks.👍
Take care and stay safe.😷🙊
Thanks Ian what a Thorough and thoughtful comment - I told you I like comments. Now as for the casting next one I cast perfectly I’ll dedicate it to you to show you I can be good when I choose to be ! Much appreciated as always mate. 😂💪👍
Lovely bit of a sun and a few fish, what more could you ask for. Hopefully the sun will continue and warm the water, I guess it won't be too long until the Bass appear on the lures. Last week at a local Kent mark there were Baitfish chasing and bumping my gravity stick amongst the boulders so the Bass can't be too far away now.
Yep that’s good to know, will soon be changing over to that way of fishing 🙂
Nice one matt shame they wasn't bigger
Yea , I agree but a just glad to be out there day!
I suffer from depression and social anxiety , had to stop fishing because I didn’t like people coming up to me and chatting when all I wanted was my own company !
That's why I mostly go for night fishing.
Thanks for sharing, yea possibly harder. Summer too - lots of remote marks to try though.
Hi Michael, You could always wear a set of cans / headphones, that keeps em away.,,
Funny that's what I like about fishing! You can learn so much from chatting especially when you're young and new to fishing.
What I DON'T like is the number of idiots with dogs sniffing around your gear and pissing everywhere.
Luckily I don't get that much at night 😅😅
Hi Michael, you took the words right out of my mouth. We arnt alone. I went fishing in a secluded spot, it felt great.
Keep strong.
Great video as always. Fishing for me is about getting away from it all and enjoying your surroundings. A boost for mental health! 😁Hence the name of my channel!
💪yes Sir !
Cracking video as always on your pendulum casting your releasing with the rod just a bit to high on your cast ..just a bit lower will make a big difference 🎣🎣
Thanks Tim will take a look at that.
Where you fishing mate nice little session in the sun good job 👍
Eastbourne
Stop using braid
Thats the reason you miss bites and fish
Fish dont get hooked and drop off
Please try it
I stopped using it years ago ,and my catch rate went up
Use a good brand 0.25 mono about 8-10lb ,and 80lb braid shockleader
I like Suffix tourneo or Daiwa sensor as mailine ,berkley whiplash 100 lb as shocker.
Ok you need to change your line regurlary, 8£ for 1500 meter ,cheap as chips
Why do people want to see bites ,if they sit on their hands ,knowing not to touch the rod
Little tip from the lowlands of the Kingdom of Flanders in Belgium
Interesting. I fished for a few years to compare the two so one rod braid and one mono. Will give this some thought
Hi mate I'm quite new to sea fishing on the bottom with lugworm. Does the tide really matter when doing this type of fishing? I've always remembered from my childhood that you have to sea fish at high tide, but maybe I'm wrong. Cheers. Great video and nice catch by the way.
Each venue is different. Generally movement of tide is more important and again generally the slack water at high tide isn’t as good. Always exceptions fishing low tide up presents many advantages from knowing the ground and what your fishing over to using the fastest part of the tidal run. Look at a proper tide graph and you can the tide doesn’t come in equally as quickly.
@@SaltwaterAngler oh right, I'm in hastings where I see you fish a lot. You can catch at both low and high tide here right? Cheers once again by the way love the channel
Nice session trying to work out what beach you are on
He was between sovereign swimming pool and the poo castle (Eastbourne)
@@Fish4san the poo castle 😂😂
I usually go to Portsmouth in the warmer months, but this winter the fishings been so dry I just gave up, do you recon I could catch some fish this weekend? I generally prefer pier fishing.
Yes remote chance as bigger tides , head for piers and jetty’s
@@SaltwaterAngler ended up going today, and had a follow by a big bass on the pier on my Samson lure. I ended up only catching wrasse today (on rag)
Good report !
First! What do I win?
Our admiration 💪
@@SaltwaterAngler I’ll take that! Thanks, looks like a good week to be out, getting some baits ready my the weekend!
Have a good one 👍
