Thank you, will be getting some more up soon 😀

Cheers it was definitely worth the trip, hopefully longer next time if the weather plays ball. I used the Navionics app as my fish finder battery packed up on the way out and I wasn't giving up finding the wreck haha.

It was mainly on this fiish black minnow and small white sandeel lures.

Just ragworm tipped with squid.

@@hprobe23 👍👍

Hi Paul, I have a gopro hero 3, so pretty old by now lol. Think I will upgrade at some point but it's still going well.

Sorry for the humongously late reply lol, thanks dude and I've seen you vids cracking venues and fishing will get on it more now😎👍

Thank you for your comment. There is nothing that feels better than seeing these beautiful creatures swim off well. That why I always use debarbed circle hooks as they are so quick and easy to remove.

Thank you for your comment. Yeah same here it is always great seeing colour and then getting it on board. They are certainly tough critters but I've always found the smaller ones more feisty for some reason.

Thank you very much, it was one of the best weekends on the kayak for sure. Just eager to get out again when we are allowed.

Hi thanks for your message. Yeah there is a car park right on the sea front. Knapp rock car park. Best get there early.and it does cost about a fiver for the day but it's so easy to load up and launch.

Thank you for you comment on the vid. On this trip I didn't manage to catch any mackerel but did get some pollock. I used a whole dead one with the 10/0 circle hook pushed through it's lower and upper jaw with the point above the top of the jaw. Good solid bait so dogfish don't destroy it before the tope get them

Yes, I've been biten a few times by hounds. Not had a tope on my kayak but imagine the risk is the same.

Well funnily enough that okuma trio reel is still going ok. I'm not the best at looking after my kit but I have serviced it every year and still going well. We are on a ledge that rises to 20 to 30 ft from around 60 70 ft. I've never had one bit me but it's a case of just keeping their head away from your body as much as possible after unhooking. The smaller ones I've found to be more feisty on board.

Thank you, yeah the tide is fine here for both anchoring and drifting. Although I anchor for the tope, it is possible to drift the ledge it wouldn't take long to cover it.

Thank you Dean, can't beat the scraps they give.

Thank you Stephen, hopefully get a few more up this year.

Thank you very much Martin. Hope to get a few more this year.

Thank you

Thank you for that, kayak fishing is certainly addictive but great fun. Yep they were tope which are great fun to catch.

Thank you

Certainly was a nice catch. Well chuffed with it.

If you've not anchored before I would highly recommend you start in either a lake or somewhere where there is very little or no tide flow to begin with. I learnt at a practice day with South Wales kayak anglers. The idea is to have your anchor with at least 1m of chain attached to it and then to you anchor line. Always run it through your head before you do it so you know what to do when you do anchor up. Always make sure you have enough line to let out especially on deep water or strong tides. I paddle up tide of where I want to drop the pick then once it's on the sea bed, I let out atleast 3 times the depth if no more to allow the anchor to grip and hold you tight. Next time I'm out in deep water I will do a video of how I anchor up.

My first one was the yellow ocean kayak t13. There are loads out there from various makes that's would do well. Do you know what you want to target and what type of fishing you will mainly be doing? Drift fishing, anchoring up etc?

Well when you catch a fish of a lifetime, you get carried away. Agree with you that it shouldn't be out that long but it went back strong as the fight was quick so not tired out too much. That's why I use heavy gear for the Tope.

It's not bad there is parking and a slipway, but there is a gate which is locked as it's the local boat club. Easy enough to get kayaks over before loading up with kit. Worth going out with some guys who know it well in regards to tides and conditions.

@@hprobe23 i want to get out there this winter in a search for cod only place iv been so for is the gower oxwich bay and im fishing tbe flounder comp in louchor on the first of December

Lovely place Oxwich bay. If you want to get out there for cod in the winter there are loads of guys in SWKA that will be heading out for them too including myself. I presume your on Swka as your doing the flounder comp?

@@hprobe23 iv just signed up to there page ill keep an eye out for when there heading out do you use a drysuit in winter there expensive

@@markmay7807 yeah drysuit is a must for winter fishing. It is so worth the expense getting a drysuit. A bit of kit along with a pfd that will help you if you end up in the water. Great to hear you with Swka, you will have loads of topics on the forum to look through to give you guidance. And if in doubt on anything just ask and someone will answer.

Thanks for your message, This is down Tenby. We launched at South beach and drifted with the tide towards Lydstep. You can target Tope from Oxwich Bay although I would strongly recommend going out with a fishing buddy. Check out South Kayak Anglers on the web as they are a great club with regular kayak fishing outings. Plus you will learn loads of tips on fishing and safety. Tight lines fella, might even see you out there one day.

Hi many thanks for your comment, I think i had a bit of luck on my side this trip :)

Hi yeah that's a Bull Huss, apart from the size which generally tells them apart, they have slightly different nasal flaps on dogfish extend down to the lip and the Bullhuss doesn't.

2 days at Portreath and one day at Sennen

I have the Dragonfly 4 pro on my Ocean kayak

Thanks :) yep you've got it. It is a OKT13 very stable and yes you can sit with both legs over the same side. I do that a lot when drift fishing.

Thank you, I have never really thought of commentating. Thought my voice would just be annoying. Will do a bit more in the future. Just need to get back out there and get some good session in :)

Hi, it is an ocean kayak trident 13. Can't fault it in my opinion but then again it's the only one I have ever had :)

Nice ! And thanks.

Haydn Probert how did u get into this are you self taught I'm gonna get into this looks awesome

I got involved with a kayak fishing club and learnt a lot off them with their meets and experience days. a lot of it is learnt out there on the water but getting lessons with experience people will help tremendously, and its a good laugh

Haydn Probert cool great advice thanks

Each day is different to be honest, never really know how good it will be. Also on SWKA so might catch you on the water at some point. Its totally addictive and I'm still adding thing to my yak slowly

Just had my maiden voyage in plymouth 11 mph wind and 1-2 m swell , its terrifying !!

Glad you managed to get out even if it was a bit hairy. I use various weather forecasts to decide where and when to go. Im sure there are local guys down that way who will be glad to assist and its always fun and safer with others. I hope to get down your way before the year is out.

off to sweden in a week or two but im game if your in the area would be nice to go out with some one who knows that they are doing , SWKA are a bit clicky not sure ide actually be welcome as a novice.

Oxwich first day then Newton, Porthcawl second day

We're u out far

mate r u stupid?!?!? Haydn even says it in his description! I get sick and tired of people who don't realise that they are asking stupid questions all the time! And that everyone who has watched this vid can see what you've said and think what a thicko!

were you downtiding or uptiding Haydn, because I saw that you were using a 4oz breakout impact lead?

Diawa sea hunter for the tope, abu transmitter for the pollock and also for most of the sennen pollock diawa spinning rod.

Is an Okuma magnitex not sure of model number sorry.

Have you been kayak fishing before?, if not id suggest joining a kayak forum and get tips and advice or even meet up with some other kayak anglers from there. At this venue where i had the Tope it was minimal swell and smallish tide.

I've been kayaking before, sailing and diving with spire as well, also I was fishing from ice.

hi i am also a kayak fishing noob! i have just got my first kayak and cant wait to get my first fish lol. did you find and good spots you can recommend?

I done a lot of research on the internet before i headed down. lots of great websites and forums which will give you plenty of info on venues etc.
