    I'd have a bag of suicidal sea Trout rather than a blank. Keep it up. 👍

      Thanks, glad you enjoyed it. I do enjoy fishing the Coquet, it's a charming little river.

    Another lovely video Rob, the Sea Trout take was a solid one. Boosh .

      Thanks, it did take well. Like I said it must've been suicidal!

    Great video again!
    Brownie looked a very nice fish as did the sea trout.
    Seems such a great river - looking forward to fishing their one day.

      Many thanks, put it on your bucket list...mines about a yard long but I'm lucky to be surrounded by good salmon rivers so may never get through it all.

    Lovely to see some of my favourite spots in the first half. I didn’t recognise anything after that. I must get out and explore more of the Coquet this season!
    Good to see you break your duck. I did the same as you last season; focused on the Tyne thinking it had water when the Coquet actually fished really well...
    29 days to go!

    • @abakerslife

      If I see you out and about I will give you some coordinates! There are definitely some stretches of rhe fed water worth exploring.

    What a brownie ! Fantastic. The Anglers Arms has a big one set up. Cracking river. Just wish I lived nearer ! Happy new Year/tight lines !

    • @abakerslife

      Happy new year yo you. Time to dig out the passport maybe and check it out for yourself.
      -Don't tell anyone but we've still got plenty of seatrout up here 😉

    Rob, two nice fish, well done. Thanks for the video intel. Just finished up the planning this morning, going to be there the second week of June, so it was good to see a bit more of the river- been checking out all of your other Coquet videos as well. Good luck chasing the salmon.

    • @abakerslife
      @abakerslife  Před 6 měsíci

      Very good hope your visit coincides with a run of fish. The federation has some excellent water and I'm sure the head bailiff will see you right as to where to fish.

    Deadly take at the end, well done bud 👏

    • @abakerslife
      @abakerslife  Před 6 měsíci

      Cheers, it fairly smashed the fly for sure.

  • @hardlinesangling
    @hardlinesangling Před 6 měsíci

    Looks a lovely river to fish. What a take you had from that fish at the end thats the ones you want on camera 😂.

    • @abakerslife
      @abakerslife  Před 6 měsíci +1

      It smashed it for sure. I could see it coming up for the fly too and had to desperately try not to strike too soon.

    • @hardlinesangling
      @hardlinesangling Před 6 měsíci

      @abakerslife you did very well not to strike then lol. Well done on holding your nerve. I think I lifted/struck too soon on a salmon last year 🤦‍♂️. Had a better start to the year with pike yesterday hopefully be a good year for fishing.

    • @abakerslife
      @abakerslife  Před 6 měsíci +1

      Glad you're off to a good start. There was a springer caught on one of the Irish rivers yesterday so hopefully that bodes well.
      I was adamant I was going to try pike on the fly over winter but I went so hard after the salmon I've had no urge to fish again since the end of the season.

    • @hardlinesangling
      @hardlinesangling Před 6 měsíci

      @abakerslife I was just fishing lures not had the pike fly rod out in a while. I've got a custom made pike fly rod that I still need to christen. Must get it out more this year.

    Lovely video. Is that the federation water around Felton.

      Cheers, in the beginning yes though I ended up above Rothbury

    Hi Rob. I used to fish the Coquet at Felton and the bridgevat 532 looked familiar. There used to be a nice Cafe there where you could get a Full English.

    • @abakerslife
      @abakerslife  Před 6 měsíci

      Hi, I'm not sure how long ago that was but the cafe is still there next to the Bridge at Felton.

    @MrKveite1 Před 6 měsíci

    Dont know if you want any advice on casting but i will give a general one, pull more with your low hand and stop the rod tip much higher up in the air and make sure the stop is instant..

    • @abakerslife
      @abakerslife  Před 6 měsíci

      I will take it, I'm not too proud to take on board suggestions, cheers.

      I would have been using an 11' Shakespeare Oracle switch for a #7/8 and a Barrio switch line.
