Hello Yes they are. Had them 3 years now and absolutely love them. Sorry about the start , I'm still having new microphone issues 👍

Thanks for subscribing and watching. The rod rest is a Std Ian Golds 6ft match but I've added the single rod holder (Orange bit) from a company called Spooligan. They make various attachments you can add to various rod rests. If I need 2 rods , I just switch back to the twin version again from Spooligan. Hope that helps 👍

It's a lovely place to get away from it all. I'll definitely re visit in the warmer months 👍

@@barrybark3995 I can believe that. That was a fairly substantial building at one point. The sea bed is still a minefield if you choose the the wrong area 😉

@@Soundsofnatureforrelax-py3px Thanks for watching 👍

Roll on spring/summer Thanks for watching 👍

Awww sorry to hear that. She is a Romanian rescue 3 years old and such a character. As soon as it warms up, she will be out with me again 👍

I'll definitely have a session or two once the hounds turn up, cheers 👍

The one that got away.... It's what keeps us going back for more 👍

Everywhere seems to be slow as it always is this time of the year. I was hoping for a unicorn but a ray would have been nice. Yes please to the bar info. I've got the 316 stainless steel rods, just can't find a decent sized spring. Thanks for watching 👍

Here is my email address if it's easier to share your Bagnal bar ideas , thank you. [email protected]

Seems to be the theme at the moment. Better prospects round the corner 🤞

It wasn't quite as bad as the day you were there.... Hard work catching anything tho. I'm thinking of re naming my Chanel to Blanking with East Angling 😂

No need for it. As you say they walk past bins to go home... Pure Laziness

Another subscriber has said it was a Sandstone. I'm no bird expert so you may well be correct 👍

Thanks for watching. Is that a ticket for parking your car. And is the parking on the actual pier itself?

Hello and thanks for watching and your question. I can honestly say it's the warmest suit I've had. You wouldn't want to walk to far in it as you will overheat. It's also been ok in the rain so far. I've had this one about 3 years but only wear it in very cold weather so it's wearing very well. I bought it in a sale from Angling Direct when I worked there but you can pick them up after the winter season cheap, ready for next winter. I paid £55 for the jacket and bib n brace (Half price) 👍

Thanks John. Seems extra tough this year 👍

Hi Paul. I nearly always do exactly that. One rod , Ray baits and the second normally a 2 or 3 hook flapper for the bits and pieces. I wasn't quite sure how long I was fishing this one , so I stuck to the one rod . Thanks for watching 👍

Thanks for all the information. Will definitely help others as I'll put it in more info. I have seen people fishing into the harbour and on the day there was a guy also fishing in there. All good information, thanks 👍

Cheers Carl , hope you are well 👍

Thanks for watching and your comment. As I find out all the information relevant to fishing each place I fish. I shall add it to the More info. It's always worth checking in there for other hints and tips 👍

Thanks . I'm enjoying yours too. The campervan trips sound like a very good idea. Hope to see you catching all over 👍

I have added you to my local KZbinrs list if that's ok. It's a list in my description 👍

@david892006 sweet mate 👌

Wow looks like I dodged a bullet there. I can honestly say, I never got snagged once on the day but then again these snags do come and go. The lad from D&C Baits was fishing into the harbour and never said nothing. Thanks for watching and the heads up about the snags. It might help others who try there 👍

That's a really good shout. Thanks for the tip (Others can read these comments and get the ideas) Thanks for watching 👍

Jan and Feb are always hard. I looked through a few diaries from last couple of years and they were the same 👍

I was in a hurry to get fishing as the weather was supposed to get worse later on the day. I would have said hello. Hope you had a decent day 👍

Many thanks for your information. It might help others fishing this mark. I can honestly say, on the day, I never snagged up once 👍

Yes I've also heard that since fishing. Makes sense. Those whiting should come back weighing 2lb each 😂

Can't you explain ' The English way'

Day/month/year

@Billywhizz-bl7yj unfortunately KZbin is American owned and they use their date format. That's why I show the month and year on all my thumbnails. Hope that explains it.

👍.

I'll see what I can do. Where are you based?

Unfortunately I’m in Watton at Stone. So most venues are 2 hour drive - but I don’t mind it - early mornings are normally pleasant & quiet….I’m retired now so old hobbies are my main interest. I’m planning to fish from beach at Wells next to the Sea and Clacton pier in February onwards..also... I’m planning to visit Norfolk coast line spots. Your video’s are very useful - make it very easy planning. Thanks Rich.

Hello Stuart. Thanks for watching. Hopefully you will pick up plenty of tips and information. If I'm specifically targeting bigger fish (Smoothounds, Rays etc) I still use something like a .38 mm diameter line, typically 15lb ish. I then use a 70lb shock leader which enables me to use up to 7oz leads. Hooklinks are a minimum 30lb or 40 or 50lb hooklinks in a lower diameter. You have to remember the hooklink takes the full strain on the cast when using a pulley rig. Hope this helps, if not , feel free to message me back 👍

Should have added, rig bodies are also 70lb .

Thanks Dave,really appreciate you taking the time and trouble to reply.Looks like I am on the right track regarding the business end of the tackle.I have a couple of vintage ( old!) Daiwa Moonraker rods and Ryobi beach reels that have been gathering dust in my garage for years,so it is well overdue to give them a work out.I expect they will prove rather heavy for casting in particular but if things go well and I catch the sea fishing bug,I can look to upgrade them later all being well. Tight lines and thanks again Stuart

@stuartwebster829 I started off with moonrakers lovely rods. Good luck when you go, just remember it's always a bit slow this time of the year. Mid March and the fishing will improve 👍

Thanks Dave,plan is to get a few sessions in early Spring to build a bit of confidence in readiness to give it a good go from late spring onwards when the Smooth hounds hopefully arrive.

I can remember when we used to holiday in Norfolk from Essex. Like you we used to sit with our chips on the quay watching those HUGE fish, probably only 3lb tho 😁

Yes I can sometimes get a few off a mate who digs them. I've had good success on those razor clams tho 👍

Thanks for watching 👍

Yes that's a very good point. It's part of the reason they don't like anglers fishing in the town quay. I've seen people lure fishing in the summer , catching plenty 👍

It was almost too peaceful. I could have easily closed my eyes and nodded off 😁

It looked perfect... 😁

Thanks for your feedback. I guarantee you did learn at least one thing from the video tho 😉

Thank you. Looking at maps it says around 7 minutes walk to the quay so not bad. 👍

Didn't really expect much to be honest. As I said in the video, with the limited parking and high costs, it's not really a realistic venue. Unless you are staying at the holiday camp 👍

It's all good and useful information. I'm out Weds with the rods and might have given it a try there if you'd had better luck.

@George_Salt I may well pick your brains in spring regarding fishing the river near kings lynn if you don't mind.

@@david892006 don't mind in the slightest. I'm a little conservative and keep going back to the same easy spot. I could do with an excuse to get out to some more of the marks along the river.

Yes I found the same last time I fished it. Lots of small Bass ... The river through the town has thrown up some Flounder recently. Probably need to park away from the quay and walk there. Thanks for watching 👍

Thanks for watching. This is exactly what I started the channel for. Trimingham is definitely a good area for the hounds from late April onwards. They also turn up on the shingle beaches from Cley to Weybourne. Keep an eye on the Norfolk Angling Club page for catch reports to see which beaches they are on when you are staying here 👍

Check out my Trimmingh for the hounds and Walcott for both Hounds and Bass 👍

Dave; thank you for your reply.I am enjoying your videos very much.10 hounds from Trimingham was spectacular,I would be happy with one.i saw in the notes that Trimingham can be a bit snaggy ,for a raw beginner do you think another mark might be a better choice? I am spending these cold winter months getting my gear together and have made up a few pulley rigs in readiness.

@stuartwebster829 Hello Stuart. To be perfectly honest, those snags used to be first 2 bays to the left of the access. As far as I'm aware , there were very few reports last year 2024 , of the snags being there. These beaches do change every year . Other spots when the hounds are 'In' , Bacton, behind the gas terminal, Walcott , and all of the shingle beaches at various times. Just keep a look out on the NAC page 👍

Yes I think you are right. I only persevered with the bigger hooks looking for a better fish. I didn't fancy trying to pull a 6lb cod up that wall on a size 2 😂

It actually looks a bit different now, due to shifting sands etc. My favourite spring beach 👍

Glad you enjoyed it. It's certainly gotten a lot colder since that video.... I'm having to pluck up the courage to get out and film another one now 🥶

Thanks John. I've been watching yours, still catching those Cod . Happy New Year to you Tina and your family. Look forward to more in 2025 👍
