Fish LOVE these Lures | Lure Fishing in Wales | Day 3
Vložit
- čas přidán 28. 05. 2022
- We packed the car and headed down the beautiful North Wales coast for 3 days of lure fishing, with the main targets being bass wrasse and pollack using HRF fishing tactics and bass lures.
Day 3 saw us get in amongst the fish and used a new technique (for me) lure fishing for wrasse. They're not easy to come by where I live so I love cathing them when away in places like this. Such hard fighters and a stunning variety of colours

JUST 2 MORE CASTS... DID I JUST HAVE ANOTHER CAST... YES SNUCK ANOTHER LITTLE ONE IN... ""EDITED"" BUT LUCIE THE FISH ARE BITING.. GET YOUR BACKSIDE UP THAT CLIFF, I'M STARVING 🤣🤣🤣🤣... 04:58 WAS IT A LOBSTER ?... QUITE A FEW BEAUTIFUL BALLAN WRASSE, AND POLLACK... YET AGAIN, EXCELLENT VIDEO, STAY SAFE
🤣 yep, slip that extra cast in when she wasn't looking. We're all guilty of sticking that extra cast in, surely 🤣
Some lovely fish well done
Thank you kindly
Love the wrasse fishing slippy...i fished that spot 15 years ago and it was the finest wrasse spot I've ever had the fortune to fish..there used to be a big black male wrasse with large blue spots that lived there among all the females...it was just under 6lb then when i caught it and released if its still around and hopefully it is ...a monster it will be now...nice one bud!
I think Phill caught that one about 6 years ago, i was hoping to nail it this time round. It is a proper little wrasse honey hole. Tight lines
That's my old stomping grounds slippy... I don't reckon I could do the hike back up now but fair play to you 👍 great bit of fishing bud.. good on you
It is a bit of slog down there, but worth it to be in such a nice spot
Great video, thanks for taking the time.
Few more casts and that’s it. Couple more casts, penultimate cast oh did I slip another cast in. Love it
Cheers 🍻🍻
Always got to slip that extra cast in!!
👍💜👍💜🎣🐟🐟🐟🐟.....many thanks for the video👍👍👍👍,I should start looking out my fishing gear for my Scotland holiday👍👍
Another quality video slippy and good to see you eventually getting in amongst the fish 🎣👍 as always very informative 👍 being a newbie to sea fishing between yourself and Mr JV's videos I'm learning so much 👍
Sure fire way to catch a wrasse is to use a fresh out of the box fiiish minnow and try and catch a bass.
Haha, I'll give that a go next time I'm in the area
Opppps.. Did I just have another cast.. Lol.. Classic.... been there.. Done that..
There's nothing worse than the Mrs sitting there drawing u daggers and your getting into fish after a mission trying to find them.. I tried to get the Mrs into fishing.. Took her to the Highlands and done her a barbecue and got her some ice and dark fruit cider in the cooler and she caught fish and and am like yasss that will be her hooked and I can go fishing more... NOPE.. LOL on the way home am like so did u enjoy yer self and she's like.. Nope a don't really like the oot doors.. Booom... Well that was 20 years ago and she's still not into fishing.. Worth a try but.. Anyway mate good effort as per.. Surprised u didn't get into a bass down there... Tight lines Nathan..
Just a brilliant last day video, amazing scenery friendly locals and when the wrasse start hitting your lure . . .just one more cast ! 😉. Thanks for sharing your fishing holiday vids mate. . Keep em coming. Tight lines 🎣🎣👍
Another cracking video Nathan , the colour of that water was so clear , tight lines
Great vids as always
Thanks Davy, glad you like them
Love a last last cast 😂👍🎣
Well there's the perfect vid for this eve!
You've got a good woman there Nathan, my missis would have thrown me in if I kept moving spots like that, great video though 😎
It's a double edged sword, Lucie likes keeping mobile but hates being in one spot for too long. Great if I need to search for fish, terrible if I get one them 🤣
Luved the vid some bonnie fish can't wait till next vid keep up the guid work thanks.
Will do and thanks, glad you like them👍
My favourite Wrasse setup was always something like a 4” Ring Hammer Shad on a weedless head pitched onto the rocks, through gulleys or down the rock face. Guess the ned rig works so well because of the vertical presentation. With the float, try dropping it down the side, closer to the rocks and less work for your shoulder. Lovely bit of fishing. Cheers
Yeah, that's the theory with the Ned, and with a cut down worm it seems lethal. Going to try them for the Bass with a craw or shrimp presentation, pretty sure they'll work. Thanks for the tip with the float👍
Great result in a lovely place - what's not to like :)
That combination is what drives me to to keep fishing👍🎣
class video as ever marra! hope to bump into you one up one day!
Give me a shout if you see me mate👍🎣
Brilliant fishing, great looking wigwam and great views, lovely markings on the wrasse, shame they were all brown, they have some beautiful colours in different venues, thanks for posting, take care, Norfolk Ray
It is amazing much variety in colour they have, even in a small area! Thanks and tight lines Ray👍🎣
You had some great Wrasse fishing there Nathan 🙂
It was great to finally crack the code and get them to bite!
I hate to see a day when there's plenty of climbing 😂
All the climbing and fishing you do and it was putting on a coat that knackered your shoulder 😂great video and plenty of nice wrasse. Really enjoyed this, north wales is such an amazing place. All the best 🌊
I know mate, it's a total joke and always the way. Yep, you're right about North Wales though- great scenary, fishing and some friendly people. Tight linez👍🎣
There should always be an encore for the last cast and when into lovely wrasse, plenty of encores!
I didn't really want to stop until they stopped biting, but...
Ripper video as per normal mate, that last day in particular looked stunning.
Enjoyed your video once again and great to see you catching all those wrasse im sure you really didnt want to stop i know i wouldnt haha....tight lines.
Yeah mate, you're right, after spending all that time trying to catch the fish and finally getting on them, the last thing I wanted to do was leave🤣
Good video again nat, brendon on the yellow boat is good for local knowledge and does a few trips out for fishing with rods. We have officially named that mark "wrasse island" since going there🤣
Hello Nathan 👋
Sorry its been a while watching your videos been very busy
Well where do I start what fantastic scenery and having good company too and some fish to top it off well done on another amazing video its a pleasure as always buddy .
I've fished the Lynn peninsula a few back for Wrasse on float it was amazing never forget the moment the float suddenly disappears and the fight
Again Nathan 👏brilliant video see you on the next one stay safe and tight line 🎣👍
Hi John, no worries, it's always the way when your channel is taking off...to much time spent on fishing and editing and not enough time watching. Glad you liked the vid and hope all is going well. Tight lines, Nathan 👍🎣
@@SlippyLimpets Thank you Nathan me and the Mrs just love watching all your videos always entertaining buddy keep up the fantastic work looking forward to the next on tight lines from the Levo's Crew 👍👏🎣
Eyup Nathan. I don't think I have ever actually set out and planned to target Wrasse and I'm not sure why - some of them are so pretty to see and they can fight just fine. Fingers crossed the Mackerel will be around next weekend - methinks a barbecue is overdue. I'll sithi after, Dave.
Nice vid mate crackin wrasse I've not caught any wrasse yet but going to try this year just had my first cod the other day on a soft plastic fished with a cheb
Good going getting a cod on a SP👍 Seems the technique to catch wrasse is is similar to what you need to catch cod, just fished a lot slower. Hope you get one mate and tight lines👍🎣
Some great Wrasse there well done. Iv never had one on a single lure yet,, Ive had them take mackerel feathers before.
Iv caught plenty dropshotting worms or limpets. Also get the odd Corkwing that take a fancy to small slithers of mackerel.
It seems when they're on the feed they'll tke almost anything! My mate was landing them on a silver spinner a few years back.
@@SlippyLimpets I'm back down there soon, I cannot wait 🏴🎣
I've had some success with your namesakes (Limpets) for wrasse.Caught a few around Puffin island.
Have to get your knife under them before they (clamp up).
They are a lethal bait. Give them a quick kick and they fly off. Saves your knife from the rocks👍
You crossed our family farm to get there. Did you know that rock was supposed to be the final battle place for King Arthur. And yet I've never fished off there haha. Like the video.
What a lovely place to have some land, and no, I had know idea about King Arthur being there. Maybe it was the wrasse fishing that finally did him in 🤣
Try the Z-man Ned lockZ ewg weedless ned hook. It will solve your problem! Nice video!
Cheers man! I saw those, but they're just a bit too light for fast moving water.
The slack tide worked for you there...Some nice Wrasse bud...well done...Day 3 was a corker (soz about the pun)...Thanks for another enjoyable vid. All the best to you and Lucy...Take care and tight lines. P.s Hope the shoulder is ok soon.
It did the trick but wish I could have stayed for a bit longer, hate leaving when the fishing is so good but always feels good to finish on a fish. Shoulder is knacked, think it's an old climbing injury I've tweaked so seeing a specialist soon. Tight lines👍🎣
Another great video.
Well done on those lovely wrasse.👏👏 Mission achieved.👍
Where next?🤔.
Stay safe. 😷
Thanks Ian. Got a couple of local vids out then heading to Pembrokeshire, Falmouth and then Okney. Covering the miles but hopefully I'll find some fish
@@SlippyLimpets That's some range.
Wishing you the very best of luck mate, and look forward to the videos.
Stay safe.
Thanks Ian and tight lines👍🎣
Get yer sen on a slippy limpets wrasse road trip to Cornwall. Best wrasse fishing in the country bar none. Ignore anyone from Devon who says the same thing.
I'm heading down to Falmouth at the start of July, so will definitely ignore the Devon folk
Epic I'm completely fished out after 5 4-5am starts this week. I've got a brew lying down to watch this prefect.
Great watch thanks. I did my first ever wrasse session last Sunday and had a 4lb fish. unfortunately couldn't fish some of the other wrasse spots for to my mates mobility. Such a hard fight. I'll be checking the z man rig out. Also a great alternative when bass conditions aren't on. Should of done that this morning bass were elsewhere or sulking on the small tides. A few days ago bass were everywhere?!
Sounds like you've had a good time! They are great fighting fish, especially when caught close to shore, and good to fill a spot when the bass are sulking. I 've got a feeling the Ned rig will work for the Bass to
@@SlippyLimpets looking to give the crab and crayfish lures some outings this season. Not enough time!! Need the 7ft @13 seconds swell to go. Took x3 small bass in the surf last night though on metals super fun
How were you fishingbthe ned? Bumping along the bottom orvthrew the water?
Thanks 😊 another informative video. When you have mo' can you recommend that net? Looks good.
Glad you liked it. The net handle is a Spro Xtender 3.8m with an HTO folding net head. Great price of kit
You really should get down to plymouth and Cornwall if you
Like wrasse fishing I have a mark that I get 5lb plus fish all the time from
Hi, another great video what net handle is that?
It's a Spro Freestyle Xtender 3.8m net handle. Really recommend them because you can adjust the maximum extension, meaning you don't have to pull in 4m of net when you're close to the water
Have you any advice regarding reliable knots to use or any tutorial videos. Your videos are very inspirational as my 9 Yr old son has just got into lrf fishing through watching your videos. Only thing we won't do is the cliff marks as we are both terrified of heights but fair play to you for being able to do that. He can't believe how many you throw back.
I'm still learning and follow salt strong for knots and tips. Gave up on FG knot until I found these...
That's great to hear that my vids can attract a young generation into fishing. Thank you. In terms of knots I mainly use just 2, FG knot to attach leader to braid and then a Uni knot for hooks and weights etc. You can also use a double Uni knot for leader to braid, if the FG is too faffy. Check out saltstrong for tutorials. Hope this helps and tight lines
Long time follower, another great video man, nice to see ye both having a good time. Just wondering the hoodie and shorts, what brand are they, very smart look.
Hi Johnny, the hoodie is made by Mountain Hardware and the shorts by a company called E9, mainly climbing clothing but work really well out fishing too. Picked them both up from a place called Sport Pursuit for a cracking price. Tight lines👍🎣
Great video. Where exactly in Wales this location? Is it near car park?
I'm sure i remember reading about Wrasse when in mating season having blue tinges and being VERY territorial and aggressively attacking anything blueish during that time (but not interested in that colour any other time of year). Of course I can't find the article now using my best google skills but maybe someone has more info. That might explain why your purple z-man did so well?
I think I read the same article, and makes sense now that you mentioned it.
great vid and stunning location, what sort of depth do you go with on a float?? ive never been sure!
I tend to work in rod lengths- fish with one bait at one rod length of depth, if it gets nowt then I'll drop the bait down another rod length. And so on, until I hit the the deck, wind in a couple of cranks, mark the line and then stick the stopper at that mark. Hopefully find some fish
@@SlippyLimpets spot on cheers boss.. seems like a plan! I will give it a pop on shields pier!
Nice one, hope you get into the fish!
I wonder if the wrasse were hitting that purply lure with the orange underside thinking it was a baby lobster. 🤔
Ya ever do a live show?
Not really mate, maybe one a year
What folding net are you using??
It's a Spro Freestyle Xtender handle and an HTO folding net head
Greettings slippy. Quick Q Just how big do wrasse go. Just finnished carp fishing now time for new game and venture. Ifind you very intresting and you do a mean footage have thumbed up and subbed up . Many thanks for taking the time to share your talents.
Hi Paul, welcome to the channel! I think the UK record is around 9lb but anything around 5 is classed as a very good fish- pound for pound they're really hard fighting fish and head for the nearest snag. Hope this helps and tight lines👍🎣
@@SlippyLimpets Much appreciated.
Great video as always.. whathook sizes were u using
The ned rigs were Zman Pro Shroomz Weedless, 9.45g and a 2/0 hook. Thanks Denis and tight lines👍🎣
@@SlippyLimpets ty for replying.. catching few over here but the wells were massive hard to control the lures
Is it Holland you're in? We've had the same problem this summers stronger than usual winds have been a real pain!
@@SlippyLimpets no Ireland,, was off the west coast fishing into the Atlantic, nothing between me and america,,
@@Esoxluciouss11 sorry mate, not sure why I thought you were in Holland🤣 I've been on Orkney for the past week and found the same problem, really heavy rollers destroying any contact with lures
Bit off topic but what cold weather clothing do you use?
Getting prepped for the winter? I tend to use my old mountaineering kit- goretex jacket, synthetic insulated jacket and merino wool base layer top and bottoms. Only problem with the jackets is they have metal zips and need washing down after each session, they disintegrate if not.
@@SlippyLimpets Indeed, got to think ahead and Winter isn' too far away now 🙄
In regards to Gore-Tex I've had nothing but problems with it. Fine for a year then it starts leaking. They all do eventually.
Just wish this day and age a better material can be made.
@@richardjones2811I work in the outdoor industry so have a lot experience in this area. Goretex needs to be cleaned and re-proofed each year. If it's dirty, then water doesn't bead off the surface material and it won't breathe so feels like it's leaking. The other alternative is Paramo gear, it works differently to GtX, because it doesn't rely on diffusion to breath, and is very reliable. Just a bit heavier and warmer than GTX and does need washing frequently.
@@SlippyLimpets Very interesting regarding the goretex but believe me it will leak eventually. I have gone through 2 jackets in about 6 years.
The membrane splits and allows the moisture through.
The stitching is also prone to allowing water through, that's its achilles heel.
I've not had any bother with my Outdoor Research jacket, 9 years in and still going strong. Like I said, the only thing is the zip pull is corroding. Could be a brand thing rather than a problem with the GTX?
Trying to work out what Slippy Limpits day job is. Don't ask me why, just crossed my mind! My list:
1) Teacher
2) Paramedic
3) Healthcare worker
4) Police Officer
5) Armed forces
Any thoughts?
You missed out stunt man! Only joking, nothing as exciting as that, just work with websites😔
International reverse cat burglar - he breaks into impregnable fortress venues and leaves fishing lures behind before vanishing. This is not actually so far from the truth when you think about it..........
Where is this area pleaee
Llyn Peninsula
You on instagram or Facebook mate
Yep, just search my channel name on both and you should find me👍
