Cheers mate. Was great fun but tough going. Defo give you a shout

@@SOMERSETBEACHFISHINGtony Cheers pal! Watched a fair few of your videos as research so thank you 👍

@@fat_tommo_goes_boating absolutely! Hope you’re keeping well mate

@SeaSmith had a couple of tough months but ok now ta. Hope to see you out early next season

@@thewtfchannel4705 we’re down Minehead this weekend, hopefully the channel is fishing better by then! 😂 We’re Dorset based 👍

@ ah I’m doing a fishing charter in Minehead on the 17th ah dorsets a great spot close to some really good fishing beaches 🙂 good luck with mine head 🙂

Cheers 👍 Definitely seems worth a go at the moment. All this rough weather we’re having seems to have it fishing very well indeed! Tight lines 🎣

Certainly can’t complain! Thanks for watching 👍

@@Fishcakebreadcake I could not agree more! It makes all those cold, frustrating blanks all worth while in an instant. Cheers 👍

Oh lovely stuff! Lots of great fishing marks in the area you’re staying. If the weather isn’t playing ball or you just fancy some easy ‘out the boot’ fishing then the inner side of the harbour can be enjoyable too!

Thanks, often find as much pleasure in seeing a good fish go back then taking for the table

@@derekmay8679 couldn’t agree more! I like your comparisons 😂 I bet that instant eel bite was a sight to see. Thanks for watching 👍

That had been discussed but I’m not sure I own enough green! 😂

@@dazzyge4696 doubles or bust! 😉

@@thesweetcornkid266 It certainly does! 😂 Cheers! 👍

@@Fishingdorsetlive Cheers pal, still buzzing from it now tbh! 👍

@ been watching your journey and it’s great watching your channel grow ,you had some nice fish along the way .that bass was a beauty of a pb for you as well,I don’t always comment as I’m busy working fishing and KZbin but I always hit the 👍

@@Fishingdorsetlive I appreciate that a lot mate. I know how it goes, life is very busy - I'm been watching and enjoying a lot of your content too, looked like the comp went well (despite the lack of flounder)

@ yea well chuffed a lot of stress but 💯 worth it

@@nickgower184 thanks for the kind words Nick, I’ll keep the videos coming! 👍

Thanks Pal!

Yup, plenty of room to be sat on a chair and have a lamp above your head 👍

@@andyhill8312 Thanks pal, these are a pair of 14ft Penn Tidal XR’s 4-8oz. I think they do quite a few different in the range but this version has the Fuji rings. I do enjoy using them and think they offer a lot of rod for the money 👍

@@SeaSmith Thank you, not sure if I've already mentioned this but I only got back into sea fishing this year after 25 years, sonik vader xs 15ft was recommended (they were cheap) but oim finding them not to be very sensitive when they need to be, so I have been looking at some different ones, Penn tidal, AFAW 6&bait and centry fireblade GT which I know is a little more than the other's, I also have a very understanding wife. I'm not going to rush in I will do a bit more research and treat myself to two new rods in the new year. Ps I look forward to seeing your videos each week they look more real world than some.

@@andyhill8312 Appreciate that, I’m keen to include (and improve!) the story telling element in my vids so glad you enjoy watching them. Funnily enough I have my eyes on the AFAW 4&bait as my next investment so would be interested to hear how you get on with the 6 if you do go down the route.

@@SeaSmith there is such variation in price it's hard to know if paying more money is getting you a better rod.

@ I’ve always asked myself 2 questions when buying rods and reels. ‘Will it catch me more fish’ and ‘will it make my sessions more enjoyable’. I’ve leaned to mostly Penn stuff as it seems to tick both those boxes fairly well without having to spend stupid money. Nearly all my boat reels are Penn and have to say they get an absolutely beating and never let me down once! Maybe one day when I’ve mastered a 250 yard pendulum cast I’ll justify a £600 shore rod but at the moment I just don’t think there’s value in it for me.

@@steveyxdxdxd I’ll let him know the people miss him! 😂 He should however be in the next one 👍

@@TheBigadam1980 I wondered if someone would pick up on that! I’ll do better next time. 😅

@@peterraybould2807 cheers pal, thanks for watching! 👍

Fingers crossed it should be great fishing next week! Tight lines and thanks for watching 🎣 👍

Oh really! There was a lot of anglers down Milford that night - hope you had a good session!

Thanks! There’s lots of parking right up close along New Lane leading into Saltgrass Lane. It can get quite busy with camper vans and other users but there is quite a lot of space. Only thing to look out for is on really big spring tides/surges the lower sections of the road can get submerged!

@@SeaSmith Thank you

For sure! I’ve known of some double figures coming out of this stretch and towards hordle. Plus, if the tide/conditions are too strong, you can always fish the backwaters (behind the shingle bank) which can offer fantastic bass fishing.

@SeaSmith I'll give it a try sometime mate 👍

@@JasperThorne-o7d Hi pal, if you’re looking for a keeper bass off the boat the needles is your easiest/best bet! Live baiting on a float can pick out the bigger fish or a metal jig close to the bottom. From the shore I’d suggest mackerel head and guts and cast close in. (Although they will pick up pretty much any bait if they’re feeding!). With most sea fishing the most important factor will be conditions, you’ll benefit from a nice onshore breeze producing some good surf and decent tides to have the best chance. Any of our local beach marks will produce good bass. Best of luck and do let me know when you’ve landed a whopper! 👍 🎣

@SeaSmith is this time of year a good time?

@ the last few months are the best time of the year for big bass fishing. As we move into the colder months and mackerel shoals move off the shore fishing can quieten (although you can still catch). I’ve found good bass fishing off the boat all year round 😊

@@andylitchfield I think it’s relative. You can spend twice the amount and get twice the quality. But I think this price point and approach suits many (although it does seem to have gone up in cost since recording this video)

Thanks for the tip!

Ahh had a feeling there was free somewhere but wasnt sure where

Thank you! 👍 Next trip with the Carpy is already planned 😂🎣

There’s a danger I’d catch Carpitus! 🤮

​@@SeaSmith probably blank tbf

@@oliver123620 Certainly! A good approach is to start from HH working a lure down the beach and trying off the end of the groynes around Southbourne. Failing that there’s always a good chance of bass around the run at Mudeford 👍

@@SeaSmith great! Thanks, I’ll let you know how I get on

Best of luck! I’ve always found that area to fish better on the ebb 🎣

We were keen not to travel too far from base camp that night (especially with the Abbotsbury road closures) but that would have been a great shout! 👍

Thank you very much 😊 Absolutely! The group chat is already trying to decide next year’s rematch location! 😉

Never tried so hard for a pouting in my life! 😂

Agree’d #voteforjonny

Sorry to hear you’ve had issues with it, sounds like you may have had a faulty one, perhaps try returning it?

@@SeaSmith I Think IMAX need to sort there SH one T out!

@@stuartwhittle3695 it was just east of boscombe pier, takes around 10/15 minutes to steam round from mudeford 👍

@@fat_tommo_goes_boating cheers pal, how have you got on getting that hole repaired?

@SeaSmith I decided not to do it myself, so it's booked in to be done on this Saturday

@@fat_tommo_goes_boating fingers crossed she’s back in the water sharpish then!

@SeaSmith the guy doing seems pretty confident it will be done over the weekend, but I'm not pushing, aa long as it's right, that's all that matters
