Another great video, Tom. To answer the question on working in the shop, I have to say that I have spoken to Tom in the shop, but there is a difference between “ working” and merely being present in the shop! Mrs Tom definitely works in the shop and provides the best mail order service...
He's only gone and bloody done it !! Hi Tom another great video well done on catching the Ray on your barbel rod and a good session all round can't wait to see video on hybrid dongle rig stay safe and tight lines
Thank you mate. I like to try and think of things that maybe a few others can try too. I enjoy the variety of fishing we have available to us, be it species, venues or tactics.
great vid and humour as usual, fished southbourne friday evening and blanked but wasnt expecting much wirh rhe high pressure and north east wind but good to get out
Great stuff as usual Tom. Love your humour. I had a 70plus Stinger from the south coast in 2021 using my carp rods. I set myself a mission couple of years previous to catch a 50 with them but that was just ridiculous! 🙃
@@christchurchanglingcentre5428 I wasn't meaning to brag,in fact I waffled on for far too long about sea fishing with carp rods and not needing to buy all new gear to fish the sea so shortened it down. Stingers a true story tho lol Jason G and Stevie Perry would confirm xx
@@christchurchanglingcentre5428 Cheers man. Mad story that came with the ultimate ending. Five days camped on the beach for a couple of little males...drove home to Newark,then to Worcester next day for Dads funeral.Back to Newark and then at a loss went back to aldwick the next day...2nd night she appeared X
Interesting idea on the live bait rig. 🎣 Knowing my luck I'd catch a barbel! Tom, have you ever thought about doing a subscribers/shop customers local fishing comp?
We used to run a few comps through the shop, but we live in an area of very few match anglers. Having said that, I think there could be scope for more informal/social meets on the beach, with perhaps a little kitty for biggest/most fish.
And another comment I've completely missed.... Sorry matey! I use braid for my dongles, so just hook it on. I've just done a little live bait dongle vid, that may shed some light... Hope you're keeping well. Catch up soon.
Another brilliant fun and educational video dude, so thank you. That said ... I have to dispute your comment that you aren't "size-ist!", however, as when i checked the size of my bib and brace, you definitely told me I was LARGE!!!
Tell me, when should I not fish southbourne? I fished Saturday and didn't even get a bite. Most frustrating as I travel from Gosport. I have fished there and caught good fish. But fished a few times and not had any bites. Appreciate the advice. Vids are always entertaining
This video was on Saturday. The fishing was tough, with only small fish showing. It's difficult to give an exact answer, as there are so many variables with fishing. It could be a water craft issue, bait, rigs, distance etc etc. It's easy for me to find a few fish as I fish it so often, so know what, where, and how to approach it. Perhaps next time you're planning a trip, pop in the shop, and we can discuss rigs, bait, etc, in detail.
Assuming you mean a Bagnall Bar rather than an urfe? The bar won't bend because of your lead. I use 6oz more than anything. The lead is at the end of the bar, therefore can only pull it in a straight direction, it can't bend it in the middle. Hopefully that makes sense! They can bend if you get snagged in or tangled up, something that will put pressure on the middle of the bar.
hi tom, great video,s can you tell me where you get the springs for the bagnall bar .i havent been able to find any to fit the 316 wire. @@christchurchanglingcentre5428
A novel approach and one that I have tried; not easy on a mark that requires lifting a fish but great for beaches. Question, do you ever work in the store? 😜
Well that's ok then... However, you live and work on the South Coast which is famed for it's fine weather and exceptionally productive waters; smart move, I like it 😎 @@christchurchanglingcentre5428

Thanks mate. It was a fun little session.
Excellent. Very interesting and informative. Thx. 🎣
Thanks for watching mate 👍
You never cease to make me laugh Tom, always enjoy your videos, and especially how you’re always looking to do something slightly different 👍🐟🎣
Thank you mate. I like to try and think of things that maybe a few others can try too. I enjoy the variety of fishing we have available to us, be it species, venues or tactics.
Awesome tom. Amazing how over gunned we go sometimes. Nice session their
Thanks mate. Nice to have the conditions to be able to fish light for a change.
great vid and humour as usual, fished southbourne friday evening and blanked but wasnt expecting much wirh rhe high pressure and north east wind but good to get out
Thise winds have been brutal this last week or so. Glad to see some warmer winds coming in from the west next week.
Another top vid Mr B... v enjoyable ❤
Thank you, Mr Anderson.
@@christchurchanglingcentre5428 🤣
Great fun on light tackle.
Deffo mate, love fishing light.

Blimey! That's putting my 7oz ray to shame 🤣🤣

I didn't doubt you for a second matey. It's an incredible fish, you have the bragging rights on that one for sure 😁

That's an amazing story, mate. It was meant to be!
Thank you Tom thoroughly enjoyable as always thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching 😁
Brilliant video as usual ,Tom,great ideas again 👏👍
Thanks Mark.
Excellent, had me smiling all the way through 😁 What a cracking spot!
Thank you mate 😁
Classs 👊👊👊👊
Cheers mate!
You better get a decent stock of barbel rods in
🤣🤣
Brilliant stuff and target combination achieved. Really looking forward to the video on the “live bait dongle rig”
Yes, I must get that done.
Great effort Tom another good film by Christchurch angling 😂
Thanks mate.

Woo hoo, great stuff. Having tried to target cod using the hair rigged circle hook, how do you attach the dongle? Crimps? All my love. C
And another comment I've completely missed.... Sorry matey!

Try that with a fully grown common skate 😮😅
🤣🤣 Not sure that would end well. Doubt it'd even know it was hooked.
I would like to discuss this Rod in more detail so will call you when your in next cheers mate
Ok matey.
Nice video there. I've being wondering, what is the advantage of an urfe bar over just using a three way swivel with a clip attached?
I find the urfe tangles far less than a 3 way swivel.
Another brilliant fun and educational video dude, so thank you. That said ... I have to dispute your comment that you aren't "size-ist!", however, as when i checked the size of my bib and brace, you definitely told me I was LARGE!!!
I was more surprised than most when you didn't go for the XL... 🤣🤣🤣
@@christchurchanglingcentre5428 it became clear, thereafter, that I am more of a hobbit than most Mr Tea-bag!
Your feet certainly fit that role.
Good Video mate , love that lite Veret would you class that as a beach ledger rod?
Not really mate, just a light beach rod really. It's a fixed hybrid tip, beach ledgers tend to have removable quiver tips.
18:48 i dont recall her voicing any concerns to me at the time. Maybe she told one of the other guys 🤷🏻.
🤣🤣 bad man

do you make a thicker bar rig. as when i used one forgot i had a 6oz weight on it and picked it up and bent it in two.

i bought a couple of bagnall bars from you several years ago and the wire was much thinner.

There are rumours circulating that Tom does in fact grace the shop with his presence. I believe that they are exactly that, rumours.
I do work in the shop, but only when the weather's no good or the fish aren't feeding... 🤣🤣

The rod is more use to a 3ft twitch!
Hasn't had a 3 foot twitch for a while, sadly.
Hi is this resent 👍
Yes, it was Saturday just gone.
Thanks 🙏
