Thank you... Very useful and I want to try your way.... Great. Thanks again.
Worth trying different venues and areas within venues to learn the water and how it fishes.
Absolutely brilliant Mark 😊 nice to see you get your reward when you have a specific plan and put the effort in.... Really pleased for you 👍
Cheers Steve, it turned out well didn’t it?
Congratulations Mark on catching your first Stingray, great feeling getting a new
species especially something as prestigious as this
I have been trying for a while but all of the aspects came together and worked. 👍🏻
I had a smaller one a way further up past Hamble last year. I had one of haslar wall as well. We are blessed in the Solent for ray and hound.
We are indeed very lucky with the variation of species available to us and the many areas we can fish locally. Hounds and rays are awesome creatures to see and experience and we get them in substantial numbers. The stingrays are a new species for me but I new they were there.
Awesome mark well done on the sting ray .... well planned out sir
Cheers Peter 🎣💪🏻👍🏻
Well done Mark, you've been chasing that for a while and your perseverance has paid off. 👏
I had a renewed effort this year with some researched focus and it paid off. 🎣👍🏻
Welldone Mark ,amazing ray. Great watch as always hopeing to try for Rays next week of me boat. Look forward to ya next adventure. Take care.
What rays are you targeting and what area will you be in?
I’m out on Thursday trying for a stingray from the boat. It won’t be long until I can get the shark gear out. 🦈🎣👍🏻
@@seaangling ive not caught a stingray yet but had some target doubles from thornback and blonde off the brambles. Hope to get out wed , thurs ,been frustrating as tides and weather not been good when had opportunity. Im up river itchen do restricted with tides.
@@ricktarrant7209 I’m out on Thursday and just as frustrated as you for the weather/tides. This coming weekend looks rubbish.
Thursday looks like it will need to tuck into the I.O.W to shelter from the NE wind.
@@seaangling True Mark just hope we get a window of opportunity. May see you out there. Take care
Another great video well in on stingray m8 👍👍👍🎣🎣
Cheers buddy. 🎣👍🏻
Stunning stinger mate your face said it all well done cracking video mate as always tight lines
I was buzzing. 🎣👍🏻
@@seaangling you certainly looked as though you were did you have much weed had a lot at Hordle
@@nickmann2916 the weed had all stayed high up on the beach so the water was clear.
Another great video mark just love your enthusiasm you are definitely one of the most positive fisherman I’ve seen thanks very much keep up the great videos stay safe 👏👏👏👏👏
Thank you for the kind words, I do get a bit excited. 😂
Plenty more planned for this year and still some species to tick off. 🦈🦈🦈
Many congratulations Mark I know you’ve been wanting one for a while!! A well earned result!
It took a while but all came together in the end.
I fished there on Friday and got my first sting ray. 8lb on the second cast. Bills tackle told me to give it a go . 4 king rag on a pulley pennel 4/0. It had half of its tail missing
Congratulations, there are quite a few that have tried this season and not managed one yet. The single figure ones are quite feisty and the take can be quite dramatic. 🎣👍🏻
i love your energy and excitement in your fishing rubs off on us all
There’s a lot to be excited about, loads planned for this year. 🎣👍🏻
Yeah same for me
Wonderful Mark, so chuffed for you!!! Great angling my friend. 😎👍
Cheers buddy. 🎣👍🏻
Cracking video Mark, love the enthusiasm and excitement and excellent result on the Stinger 🎣🎣👍👍
Haven't heard the saying a "Snakes Wedding" before,, very apt description though 🙈🙈🤣🤣🤣
Glad you enjoyed the video and thank you for your support. 🎣😉
Really enjoy your explanations on your videos and the effort you undouble put in to all of your hobbies.
I hope that one small thing shared may make the difference with someone else catching their “best fish” and that can only be good. 👍🏻
Well done Mark
Thank you. 🎣👍🏻
Well done on your first stingray
Cheers buddy 🎣👍🏻
And again another great video mark chuffed for you on you stinger mate.
This was a particularly satisfying one for me and the way it played out. 🎣👍🏻
Another 1st class video Mark. 👏👏Always a joy to watch. Your attitude, desire and enthusiasm is phenomenal.
Congratulations on your 1st stingray and I'm sure that bigger one will be achieved soon.
Definitely a must watch CZcams channel.🥇
Thank you for sharing. 👍Stay safe. 😷
Thank you for the kind words Ian. There are much bigger stingrays in my local area but there is a big commitment to catching one and releasing successfully. I thought I’d try my hand at a small one first.
Well done on the sting ray Mark target achieved 👏
Thank you 🎣👍🏻
Fantastic catch, love to see one well done
They are amazing.
Well done Mark. Glad you got your stingray. Had my first Thornback ray last week at 6lb 3oz. I was buzzing the same as you. Tight lines and keep safe
Well done on the Thornback, any of the ray species are interesting to catch. 👍🏻🎣
Nice stinger mark . Your right on a minimum of 2 lb of ragworm for a session. It’s amazing how quick it goes .
2lb seems to be the minimum but I have 3lb booked for this weeks target 😉
You should come to Kerry in Ireland where we get a lot of 40lb plus stingray, it’s a buzz getting any stingray
I would be interested to hear more.
@@seaangling yeah I’ve had a 60 and a 50lb so far this summer, check out Chris o Sullivan inshore angler on CZcams it will give you an idea
I was in the same situation just couple of weeks ago in Folkestone , didn’t know what to do with that fish 😮
A wet towel wrapped or draped over the tail is a good starting point. If you don’t have a sling keep them close to the waters edge. They are fragile with a mucus covering, keep them wet and handling to a minimum. Their mouths are small so a selection of unhooking tools is always worth while.
Awesome job buddy. Your video's are always enjoyable to watch. Good content, and really well edited. Really happy for you to get your target species 👍👍🙏
Very kind of you to say and pleasing my blocky editing skills aren’t a negative. 😂
Fair play mark had a nice spotted about 4 weeks back now gonna start chasing the hounds and anything else from the solent may try a 5ft pulley myself
I think the key part to the pulley is how it is fished. No ping allowing it downtide, it needs the grip weight and to be fished slightly uptide.
congrats Mark target achieved 👏
I think you can tell I was happy. 😂
Congrats on your first stingray bud,I’ve never caught one either but plenty of time ,great watch
Cheers buddy, I’ve switched target now and have other species in mind. I would still like to try for one from the boat and try for a few more from the shore. Very interesting critter to see close up.
@@seaangling I’m just worried about those barbs lol Steve Irwin springs to mind 😂
Lovely.............Thank you for Sharing.....
Glad you enjoyed watching 🎣👍🏻
Back with a bang!
💥 😂
Very nice vid Bud.
Cheers Rick, we are lucky to have them here along the South coast. 🎣
Never had a Stingray myself but happy for you Mark 👍👍
One of the more unusual species and needs a targeted approach. That said they are showing more regular but that might be because people are trying for them.
I bet, I’ll have to have a go soon. I’m enjoying my fishing again after switching from Coarse to Salt. Even though my views have died by doing so on CZcams, I’m not bothered as fun is more important than views.
I’m trying to catch Bass at this moment but will look into sting rays soon enough
@@Carlfishing enjoy what you do and the views will follow, if they don’t then at least you enjoy what you do. 😉
great video mark 👍👍👍👌👌👌👌
Cheers Stephen 🎣👍🏻
Great video.
Thank you 🎣👍🏻
I really enjoyed i
@@davidallen7540 really nice to hear. Filming is a lot of effort added onto the actual fishing but is still something I enjoy doing.
@@seaangling Good of you to make the effort and share.
Nice spot..
It is one of my local beaches and less than 4 miles from where I live. I feel lucky to have it so close.
Nice to see you catch your target fish, Stingray- awesome, always reminds me of my childhood. Stingray Stingray” ha ha
How is your new set up going, especially the new 6nbait rods, do they have a nice flexible tip, regarding sitting in the tide / bite detection etc ?
Cheers - go steady
I am enjoying the 6&B’s and can only fault them on the choice of reel seat. It doesn’t lock into place very well but I can excuse that because I really like the rod.
I notice you didn't get too close to its flippy flappy tail? 😁
Kept my distance, softly, softly catchy monkey
I there mark. Watched most of ur video and I have learn one or two things.. av fished for 17 years and still good to learn new things keep up the good videos.. I am heading down to lymington area this weekend foe the stinger and undys.. could u put me in the right direction for a good tackle shop for bait. Looking for sandeel. Squid and bluey.. travelling down from west coat Scotland 🏴🏴🏴🏴
I’ve just come back from a weekend in Oban.
Try Tommys for bait and some quality ragworm for the stingers. I have boxes of squid if you want to swing by mine en-route.
We are just after the fish bait mate we have ragworm ordered.collecting that on the Friday morning. Heading for a undy Thursday night told to go round Poole area! There is 5 of us mate we wouldn't want to clean u out of squid 🤣🤣.. how did the trip go in oban. U can't beat the skate fishing 👍👍
@@colinmcgarva718 I have loads of squid, cases of the stuff.
For the distance travelled I hope you do well and there are plenty of stinger reports coming in. Scotland was a cracking trip even though the weather looked dodgy in the forecast but held off for us.
Well we are heading down Thursday morning. Hopefully hit Southampton mid afternoon sometime depending on traffic we could nip round mate and buy some squid from urself if u are around but if not it was much appreciated u offering. And if u are wetting a line over the weekend down there we mite bump into you 👍 recently added u on Facebook there if u would like to pm instead buddy
Great video, always a treat! Good discussion around bait choice and presentation and thanks for walking us through the rigs too. As an aside what rod/ reel were you using- seemed very well balanced.
There is more detail in the latest films I put together “beach fishing setup” but in brief they are 14’ AFAW 6&B mk2’s for multipliers. The reels are the Penn fathom 2 casting specials and line is from ASSO. Ultra-cast mainline (20lb) and tapered shock leader which is 18-70lb. All set up to fish 5’ rigs.
Another great video Mark. May I ask where do you park your vehicle when you fish Warsash?
There are 2 places depending on where you chose to fish. The approach into Hook park or the end of Cowes lane. You then walk either path to the shore.
I’m trying to get a stingray off my bucket list,failing miserably over the other side of the water to you. Very envious you caught,only thing I would say is perhaps use a wet cloth to keep it covered with 🐟🎣
And ragworm at £16 a pound doesn’t help 😂🙄😲
I did consider a wet cloth but the dry one gripped and stayed in place. I did pour water over and in the sphericals to keep the ray damp. I did walk out in chest waders to see where the clay patches were and they were only 30-40 yards out.
You do need a lot of ragworm which helps if you dig your own but I don’t.
Sowley or park shore
@@ssf-samsolentfishinguk9770 neither, this was at Warsash.
I've had about 75 stingray, over 15 years in gran Canaria, up to 50 kg off the rocks at night, whole mac, got stabbed 8cm, in the stomach, hospital 1500 euro, lost half a pint, not good, l was vvvery lucky, March 2017...fished again 3 nights after, 4 stingray, 15 to 35kg... I relaxed, and got jabbed, be careful everyone... 🤔🐟🏴🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷
This was my first experience handling one and I was a little nervous.
Your experience sounds painful 😲
Hi Mark, nice one. Do you ever sea stingray feeding pits on the shore? I do research on the pits in Australia and would be delighted if you had time to respond. Cheers Ian
*see!!
I have walked beaches at low tide looking for them and found them at other locations but not here as the ground isn’t fully exposed at low tide. There is one location in particular where the ground makes it very clear to see.
