- I have started a new chapter on the incredible island of Bermuda.
It’s time for me to familiarise myself with the fish that inhabit these waters and how best to go about catching them. It’s clear there is an abundance of amazing sea life, I wasn’t quite prepared for how savage some could be.
Join me on my new adventure as I explore the stunning shoreline and hone my skills. All going well I’ll be afloat in good time!
Your support to the channel is massively appreciated so if you enjoy the videos and haven’t done so already; like, comment and subscribe!!!
I have family in Bermuda, never was into fishing when I visited but nowadays I fish all the time so I can’t wait to try!
Thought for a minute I’d turned up in my local Indian restaurant 😳😂 Cracking video and can’t wait to see what you catch 👍🐠
I envied your life in Cornwall but Bermuda!! I’ve seen that bream looking fish recently in a video, possibly John Locker in Florida Keys. All the best with your new job and look forward to many more videos.
Have a great time, life’s short grab it while you can , and just a quick thanks for helping me make up my mind and buy a sib too explore my local tribs in and around the east coast 🙏🏽 Tony
Going to miss the sib videos but really exciting times. Get that heavy set up and keep at it. Looks amazing
Nice to see you still fishing and still makeing videos. Keep it up.
I was there about 10 years ago. Went fishing at Somerset Bridge and saw rays gliding past. The water was so clear. Dove on a couple of wrecks but didn't see as much life as expected. Amazing place and very jealous you're there. Good luck with everything!
Really great watch bud. 😊 I can relate to this from when I was traveling. Never knowing what was next. And then hooking something that you’ve never encountered before. 😊 can’t wait for the next installment ❤
Oban Jones live and direct! Smashing Bermuda man👌🏽
Yes. We have lots of cow fish here in Bermuda. You can catch them at most docks. Hope you enjoy your time and fishing experience here...😊
That last one weren't no 5lb north coast bass was it? 😂
Good luck in your new ventures and I'm looking forward to seeing what fish come out of those beautiful waters.
I lived there for 6 months and return every year for the past 10 years.
The first fish with the black dot is a bream, the second yellow fish is a yellow tail snapper
Challenge laid down!! Looking forward to seeing some landed👍
30 pund leader on it, bate and lures, big hooks and pressure pulling up. Don^t let the drag and rod work for your arms.
Fantastic waters and so clear very much like Crantock spoke to Sandra today and she was adamant me and my Husband should watch your CZcams as fish mad in Cornwall and further out. Good luck.
Good luck in your new venture and hopefully you'll see some bigger fish come to hand soon.
You are a very blessed chap indeed!
Awesome, and best of luck, but my god, get that heavier gear and braid sorted! Good 8 strand even in 30lb or 40lb isn't the slightest bit restrictive for casting etc, and would give you far better chance on the beasts. It isn't a good look to keep leaving lures in fish.
Oban, you lucky bugger!
Here i am still in Cornwall, (no where better mind). Insane is the right way to describe that sort of fishing. Keep em coming, it's going to be very interesting watching you on this huge learning curve. However you're the right man to do it.
Wishing you good luck with your new venture.
Gidon Pard!
You was spot on with the names of fish 😉
Come see us @ C-Mart Tackle ,we will hook you up with what you need to land those Steelhead Jack's!
that was a nice little yellowtail snapper. if you catch a bigger one they are amazing to eat!
Look forward to seeing the next video when you have some heavier Gear! Looks amazing out there !!
Loved this Oban, yes heavier kit particularly if Barracuda’s are about - steel lines! Can’t wait to see what your catching gonna need a Bermuda, fish guide! Love the species keep them coming snapper and grouper are very tasty! Miss my Cornish fisherman and fish xx
I live in Bermuda, you may have had some nice bonitos on that you lost. Let me know if you come back I can take you to some of my spots 👍🏼
Well done buddy, hope you don’t miss good old Kernow too much 👍
Hold on to your hats Boys. We are in for a ride! Cannot wait to see what you hook into. Good on you mate.
Man you should drop the light rod.. even a cheap mackerel rod would haul them big fish in.
Nice one Oban, looking forward to more vids. Im thinking a 10,000 Saragosa locked down should do the trick.. best of luck pal.. 👍🎣
This is going to be really interesting, thanks Oban!
Hope you can get some bigger gear quickly and find out what is out there.
Wow, thats a bit of a change! Good on ya! I found a rod a couple of years ago that, if I ever lost it or broke it, I would definitely get another one. Once you find what works as just an extension of your arm, stick with it! 🙂
Awesome vid. Cant wait to see what the monsters are that keep breaking you off. Id say your going to need 80kg braid and either wire trace and a 80lb mono rubbing leeder. Im going to guess barracuda for first fish landed. Cant wait to see next vid 👍
Great stuff. Cornwall to Bermuda....amazing. Can’t wait for you to catch a really big fish off those rocks. Stick a top water on and see what happens. Patch 125 will do it😂😂😂😂. Even a crazy sand eel maybe? Going to be great seeing you catch on water that is so alien to you. 👍🐟👍🐟👍
Enjoy fishing brother..welcome to bermuda 🇧🇲
Congrats on the new job 😎😎
What could make a difference is to have steel wire the first 4 to 5 inch after the lure before it goes to regular fishing line. It can stop the fish from breaking the line. I think that is what went wrong on the occasions the line snapped. Either that or the reef was scratching the line. Or you need a higher poundage line.
And the fish are way more game here than what you are used to probably. It may be due to hotter temperatures, or them just being other, and bigger fish.
Maybe some real heavy duty stuff is the way to go. That rod was really bending! I was surprised it didnt snap.
Keep your head up eh. Its all a new area, you will get them eventually.
You can google image search the fish if you make a photo, or go to the frame with the fish in it. Its just like a pokedex with pokemon. :D
Greetings,
Jeff
Great comment Jeff and one that I agree with! I can now tailor my approach a bit more as I discover the many fish species
Jaysus man, you moved to Bermuda?
Nice move. I hope you got a good price for your SIB first?
BTW, that first fish was a Bermuda bream and the second, a Yellowtail Snapper. Try C-mart on the North shore road, for stronger fishing tackle. They're supposed to have the best selection on the island. And bring some water skis next time, in case you have to tire out the next big one.
Yellow goatfish perhaps. Best upgrade that Cornish gear!
Yellowtail snapper in the US they have to be min 12 inch’s in length.
So no more sib fishin i loved ur chanel for one reason sib fishing... hope ur job gos well mate 👍 take care 🙂
All that line now floating about. Bravo .
You believe Oban's bit of snapped line is a real problem?
Take a walk down your local beach after a spring tide and check out the amount of rubbish, plastic, netting, etc, you find trapped in rocks, gullies, etc. Now that will break your heart!
I tend not to moan about it too much on decent anglers CZcams channels, anglers who show NOTHING but respect and care for the fish and environments they attend. Instead, we take a couple of bags with us and actually clean up that which we find. Bitching about it from your lounge solves nothing, especially when you are preaching to the choir. Doing something positive about it is what counts. I'll not stress (except for the monetary value!!!) on the small pieces of tackle I loose to Cornish coastal waters, knowing the good I am doing by cleaning the marks, beaches and walks my hobby and hunting take me to. Neither will I concern myself with the small number of size fish, shellfish, and game I keep for the table, knowing my family are eating fresh, healthy, self caught, natural, God given fare.
Have yourself a great, positive, action filled day. 🤍
@@PilzE. I believe all discarded nylon, plastics, braid is myopic in the extreme. Its really that simple. I live in Cornwall, you dont need to wait for low tide to see the dreadful problem. Virtue signalling about your efforts is a drop in the ocean isnt it ?
@@lordbiro Do you also watch Formula One and moan about all those nasty, polluting engines? Strange old butterfly ain't ya, hun? My virtue and wholesome behaviour tweak a nerve in your gentle delusion of grandeur?
Great video mate. Keep it up. Good luck.
Hey bro i live in Bermuda and love fishing next time you come hit me up. nice video
Ahhh wondered where you’ve have being !
Nice video buddy 😊 👍, shame you didn't expect the unexpected 😮 but take heed and beef the gear up and keep that rod tip high in the shallows buddy 😉, keeping the rod tip low will encounter reefs and part u out 😈💯😭😭😭and that's from experience 😢👌💯
Hey boss. I live here. most likely snapper or a bonita (almaco jack)
Love it keep it coming
No worry mate we all had our learning lesson line snapping under bidding with your choice of line lol not nice loosing nothen big
What a life style change, fair play to you buddy.
Watch out for the sharks 😂
Love your videos pal , I wish you the best of British in Bermuda stay safe my friend I hope your looking for a sib over there or are you transporting yours over 😂
40lbs floro leader with braid it nice for off the rocks thats what I run
I have to plug Gido’s fishing adventures on this one
Good suggestion!
@@obanonthewater7796 first dibs on the sib if she’s for sale 😎
When are we likely to see the follow on from this one……. Keep looking out for it!
I’m bermudian and I can say you were getting big hits off the rocks. Wow. Any chance you can share the lures you were using? I’d like to give it a go.
I’m using metal jigs here 10-20g, on a fast retrieve
I've been in Bermuda about a month and come from the UK. Let me know where you're fishing, I'd be keen to join!
Cracking video mate you will soon be landing some leviathans there 🎣
This is awesome!! What are you doing for work? Fellow 20 something living in Cornwall and bass fishing when I have spare time!
Great channel, thanks! I'm here more for the Sibbing than the fishing... can I ask - where did you get your Beachmaster style transom wheels? I'm in the UK and have seen them on eBay but not at a chandlers
From memory mine were from Ebay. Possibly a company called Red dart marine
welcome to Bermuda!
Thank you!
Awesome content! What do you do for work?
I’m in Bermuda visiting, Where abouts was the second day fishing
It hurt me to watch you lose those fish. What parish were you fishing out of?
St George’s
Great video, where abouts were you fishing?
Fanstaic place, what do you do for work? I’m a chef and always thought of moving around the world
Nothing under 50pound test in bermuda mate
now this just ain’t true
Where’s some good spots near somerset area? Coming for honeymoon in April
I haven’t explored that part of the island yet but in my experience there’s fish along every bit of Bermudas coastline.
I think it's called a gar fish and I think the one with the dark spot on the back is called a finger mark im not 100% sure
Headed to Bermuda tomorrow. Where was the last area you were in with the trail at the end?
Ferry reach rail way trail
Do you know where that parky areas is/called?
Hi I stayed there for 6 weeks in 2019 - I fished alot but with limited success and only had coarse gear with me. I also hooked up with an English guy who had a very serious boat after very serious fish. I could give you my thoughts if you like when I get a bit of time ?
Please do, I’m sure I’d benefit from them greatly
Yellow tail snapper
Plenty of big ones, where is this spot? I'd like to go
Go heavier, stop leaving gear in these fishes mouth for christ sake
What job is it you do, and good luck..
where are these spots?
I live in Bermuda
Wow, but what are the pasties like????? You are definitely going to need much more powerful gear, some of these fish are so powerful you will never land them even if you get them close to you, once they see you/the surface, they are off again.
Get some shock leader or something pal is there even a tackle shop there
Name of rod an reel please??
What rod is your heavier option
What did you do with your Rib ?
if u wanna catch bone fish whale bay, 9 beaches and daniels head is for you
Bro you don't use light gear in Bermuda man! The fish there are big and bigger. You just keep losing line and tackle. 🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️
What do you do for work?
First fish long tom
Well, you said it, if you didn’t think you should have fished for a big fish, why did you bother.
The lures I used were intended for fish in the 3-5lb range, I had no control over what took
Are you still in Bermuda?
Yes I’m working out here for a few months
@@obanonthewater7796 great video. I’ve been out in bermuda a couple of years from the U.K. and have recently been learning o fish. Would be great to go out sometime !
in wich spot are you cooney island?
20lb test line minimum is recommended
sorry mate but after being an avid fan BECAUSE YOU WERE IN THE UK, not interested because we know that anyone can catch fish there so no hope of the rest of us in the uk will never be able do that. john locker has done the same in florida, where when i was there just with a hook and line i hooked ..amazing fish. if any one wants to know all about what i how it happened.etc. including how i fed with the small. fish to a pelican that was sat with me all of the time. so sorry mate but along with john locker i have unsubscribed. i am only interested in fishing in the uk and cornwall where i live. sorry bye bye
Yellow tail snapper
