- Pier fishing here on Eastbourne Pier in England is a great way to spend a few Hours.Today i head down to fish this Historic Victorian structure. It has a nice club type atmosphere and has a reputation for good Seasonal Fishing,
- Sport
Fishing at its honest best always informative always a good watch cheers Matt
Nice couple of dabs Matt. I’ve not fished Eastbourne pier for years. Nice to see the platform being looked after 😊
Yea looks like they are opening up that bottom section to the east
@@SaltwaterAngler excellent be a good platform once finished
Yes once we had 2 piers you could fish off in BRIGHTON. Now for decades we've had NONE. We do have the Marina. ...but it's not the same!
Haven’t fished EB pier in 35 years, piers changed a bit but still lots of little dabs, use to get codling in winter months and bass in summer , my first I caught aged 11 years was a pollock on lug mid water, that 5lb fish got me hooked, if course total fluke but only had one weight and didn’t want to lose it kept getting stuck on the bottom hence me d water fishing, spent the next few years on the pier until discovering wine women and fun😂😂
great memories -Love hearing about times like that.
Great video matt really made my Friday!! Would love to have a chat with you again soon! Hopefully I'll see you live!! Soon!! Thanks matt!! Like the hoodie!
Yes been looking forward to this one!!!
not fished eastbourne pier for nearly fifty years good too see it again
How interesting, many changes yet some things remain the same.
Lovely day…..lovely fish. 👍🐟🐟
Thanks mate
I like your video's bud very informative tight lines
Glad you like them!
Nice day mate thanks for the video tight lines 👍
If Dabs grew to 20lb they'd be the most expensive fish, their taste is absolutely superb.. just a shame they're so small.
Fished a night session of Bournemouth beach in 91 caught a Dab of 1lb 10oz it was huge. Superb meal. Never caught one anywhere near that ever again..
Yes good point - wow what a beast that was 💪
Always enjoyable content. 👍
Nice one again Matt, in some sunny weather. The Eastbourne pier is a welcome change, especially if your taking your partner or kids, but is a very shallow water venue. Langney Point just up the bay is a much better venue with a greater variety of fish to be had, and larger specimens.
That’s exactly what I say in the video !
Down your way in the morning. Hope the water is not too dirty.
As always - great video.
Great where you going! Plaice a possibility i recon but fishing has been on and off
@@SaltwaterAngler Lures in the morning Cow Gap, then Pevensey for baitcasting. Am just happy to get out (first time this year).
As always, enjoyable and informative.😀🧑🎓
Looks a nice place to just spend a few hours, out and chilling.😎
Sometimes it nice just to rest and catch a couple of flatties.🎣🎣
Thanks Matt.👍👍
Take care and stay safe.😷🙊
Thanks Ian , as I always say thanks for watching and appreciate your comments each time
Geat stuff Matt. Walking along the West Beach of Brighton marina after the storms - it was BLACK with mussel shells. That HAS to be a top bait to use but never seen anyone using it there! Will be trying it out 😊😊
Cheers Kerry 👍
After hearing what you said about fishing new places I thought maybe I should be doing the same, my local pier is usually excellent at this time of year for big Pollack but I haven't had even a bite last 3 times I've been out, I have one rod floating set up with sandeel and another ledger rig with 2 hooks with mackerel on one sandeel on the other and usually the float rig does really well, I've been teaching a m8 this and that and I'm starting to think he's jinxed me because I never had trouble catching b4 he started coming along lol 😆
Yep definitely blame your friend - he’s putting you off your game
Fisherman and the excuses, it's always too cold too hot too windy and so on , atleast now people have gopros so if a fish gets away its not the tall tale it once was considered lol.
Awesome again Matt nice 2 c a well maintained pier fished there a few times in my teens caught good sized sole fishing close to pylons useing rag & size 3 hooks .Happy catching from AUSTRALIA Nick
More memories Nick, good stuff - I had my PB Dover sole here one August on a whole peeler crab intended for bass !
Loved it 👍🏻 great video as always 👍🏻
Was an enjoyable day , thanks
Matt you can get frozen mussels in supermarkets been using them to catch carp in the margins for a while now but you could whip them on the hooks and tip them with anything that takes your fancy.
Good tip John
Nice video. Well done mate 👍
You done well catching them with all that banging going on
Yes that was annoying wasn't it- All though joking aside i recon fish around structures like harbours and piers are used to it
@@SaltwaterAngler yes your prob right, it was a great video though super quality and a cracking day cheers
Nice one Matt! Looks a good venue, but sure with that grating for a deck, I could lose a load of stuff there! Nice Dabs. Stay safe & well. 🎣🎣👍👍
Hi Dave yep - I lost some bait elastic and it was scissors last time there ! Still have phone and camera though and car keys should be left elsewhere 😀
@@SaltwaterAngler Yes, I ought to get into the habit of clipping mine to my belt or putting them in the seatbox - just as easy to lose them on shingle sometimes.
great vid and drone footage bro
Thanks for watching
Best bait by far from there is cockles
Thanks for the tip.
@@SaltwaterAngler I was fishing there was catching sod all old chap next to me was on cockles bringing them in all day he gave me some ten wallop fish on now I always listen to the old timers tight lines
Smoked or just in vinegar 🎣
@@paulc3482 plain but cooked
Nice place I like it I been fishing In night time I catch nice fish but they charge for how many rods you have I mean 10£ for rod is bit much for me because I have 3 rods 😤
Yes it’s a lot for us sea anglers but there are costs involved for those running it too so it supports small business as well - bet the night fishing is good 👍
Peter Gore Seer,
When I Went ThePier Was Closed For Fishing.
Ahh that’s annoying
Nice one Matt, what a shame that hastings has a pier which is always closed dosent make any sense at all.
Yep I’m hoping it will reopen for Easter
Let's hope so. Should be open all year round.
How dare they keep it closed.
Fishing is tough going but a lovely day. Dabs saved the day. A mate has persuaded me to be out on the beach tomorrow night. I'll stick a big bait out and wait for a bass. And wait ...and wait ...
Thanks, yea but not long now and those bass will start looking for crabs !
Is there a tackle shop selling rag and lug on the pier?
Fished here a few times, it's a bit of a tackle graveyard but if you can avoid the mussel bed there are some good fish here
Yes thanks 💪
No no its the mussel bed you need to fish on.. just beef up your tackle.
silly question but new to fishing how do your rods not just shoot off the side when you get a bite? just set the drag really loose?
No it’s a good question - it’s the angle- the rod gets held on the bar when there’s a fish on it actually makes it more secure.
Nice fun on a nice day. Youre gonna need a seat box you keep that up.
I always preferred to fish beneath the pier and just behind the surf line. A nd Im wondering it the swirl lines down current from the pier stanchions might not act as an edge structure....
Thanks for that 👍
How long so you usually leave your line out in the sea before you reel it back in to check theres still bait on their? Very basic question i know 😅
Good question 20 minutes
Looks like a beautiful Summer's day, instead of early Spring. A few things;
I think those fishing rules are lenient. It annoys me when people are greedy, or keep undersized fish.
A cup of coffee just £1? Jaysus, I pay €4.
Isn't that lower end-deck a new addition?
When does the Bass season start over there?
Lastly, always good to see a new video from you Matt.
Appreciate your comments as usual , i think the lower deck has come and gone over the years but not sure. I think you can say the bass season starts with the first big peeler crab moult in April , or at least when those fish are returning to their normal haunts having spawned - seems to be earlier each year.
@@SaltwaterAngler Of course, peelers, bass candy.
Didn't think fishing was allowed on Eastbourne pier anymore.
Been back a while.
Great video mate. Look a nice place to fish. Do you make, thoughs swim feeders or did you buy them.
No found it in the bargain bin - i recon you could easily make one out of a bird feeder though as long as you dont have to cast far- Check them out on freshwater gear as swim feeders - but remember safety when casting the heavier leads
Where you fished they did a episode of Dad's army..... In 72, 73 or 74.🤔🇫🇷🇫🇷
Crikey like to see that
@@SaltwaterAngler the episode is the one with a floating mine and they blow it up. 😊❤️🇫🇷🇫🇷
I’ve never rated fishing off eastbourne pier, too many snags and way overpriced. I’d fish off the beach any day rather from that overpriced snaggy rust bucket.
😊 ha thanks Scott 👍
