BIGGEST Pollack Caught From Shore on YouTube?? | Lure Fishing UK

Day 3- There wasn't a better forecast for the rest of our trip so we fished as hard as we could for as long as we could. In true Orkney fasion it still wasn't easy going and we had a few obstacles to overcome- like creels, ropes, strong wind, swell and seals- but we had an epic day of lure fishing for pollack, and the target of landing a double figure pollack from the shore happened. FINALLY! after literally hundreds of ours of fishing, driving, scrambling around cliffs to marks that were no good, we saw 2 BIGS landed amongst many other decent Pollack.
Possibly the first time a pollack has been caught from the shore and shared on KZbin?!
Join us on Day 3.
Ever since I started to fish, I've been obsessed with catching one of the UK's hardest fighting fish and to catch a double figure (weighing above 10lb) from the shore with lures has been a dream of mine. I've travelled all over the country, visiting many remote and sometimes hard to access locations, trying to find them this video documents one such lure fishing road trip. The style of catching is very important to me, and I always use balanced, light lure fishing tackle. Will I finally succeed after all these years of trying?

1000% deserved mate! You’ve put in some amount of effort over the years. That fish looks bigger every time I see it

[@SlippyLimpets]

We both have, definitely your turn on the next trip👍🎣💪

[@lsmith6378]

That's better. Less motor mouthing a speaking only when its needed. Makes for a good vid off the rocks

[@yorkyone2143]

Having caught double figure Pollock from the shore a couple of decades ago on spinning gear this brings back many memories. Main problem was ensuring you had clear ground immediately beneath you with little kelp & clear access to the water's edge. No one would bother fishing for anything else if these fish were evenly distributed across the country. Fantastic fish & exciting scrappers but getting to the marks does need a pair of hiking boots & great care.

[@SlippyLimpets]

You're right about the mark requirements, but tough to find them with a good quality if fish still present. If I had to catch species of fish for he rest of my life, its would be good sized pollack. So exciting!

[@palmarolavlklingholm9684]

Double figure? I am guessing you are meaning in pounds. To see double figures in kg is exceedingly rare.

[@metalbenderuk9791]

Woohoo, been waiting for this one! Awesome catch man, thats proper payoff for all the hard work you put in. As I said before, I always knew you had big pollocks 😉👊

Thanks mate, appreciate the comment👍 Those fish were on it! I've never experienced pollack swimming towards me so quickly! Really reminded me of slack line cod bites. It was a nice fish I lost at the end (comedy moment) not sure it would have been so funny if the session hadn't been so good. Tight lines👍🎣

Epic an overused word? Not in this instance, truly EPIC session for you and Lewis. The pull from those lunker pollack looks phenomenal. Beautiful fish and a session to remember!

[@daveredford7272]

Brilliant fishing Nathan, thanks for taking the time to film it all. The fishing in Orkney looks like the MoG of years ago.

[@SlippyLimpets]

My pleasure Dave. I just missed out on the MoG's heyday but there's still loads of fish there. Orkney is a little different in that the fish are spread out, some marks hold monsters and other have either tiddlers or nothing at all.

[@jonkennard8272]

What a war horse that was!!! Man you've got some solid knots going on there. The amount of forces you put through the rig was mental. Just rewards for all the effort you put into it 👏

[@SlippyLimpets]

A great description! I've had my arse kicked before so I've worked hard on getting my knots and drag set up just right. FG knot with a Rizzuto finish and then a good Uni knot from the leader to my lure clip. The drag is the most important part of all that though, means you can lean in with confidence.

[@jonkennard8272]

Cracking. Almost have up on braid recently. I had cracks off etc seemingly for no reason at all frustrating and costly! Thing to get a mate to show me the FG. used the double uni no issues yesterday for 5 hours an 5 basd in horrendous conditions. Great to get the hits though

[@geoffsharp7713]

Well done Slippy! Unreal! The First Mate recently hauled in a 7.1 lb pollack for his PB, it gave him such a scrap. Those sea monsters must have been off the charts on your light gear; cracking video as always!

Eyup Nathan. Well I'm glad that the gods of fishing smiled and your huge effort has been rewarded. I've been on a commercial vessel when we have shot pots in front of anglers and I've stood on a rock while someone else has done the same in front of me. No-one's fault is it? Keep calm, be careful when stripping weed off the ropes and stash the free lures although trebles and barbed hooks can be a cow to get out of rope. I sniff another success in the offing. Good luck and I'll sithi after! Dave

[@SlippyLimpets]

Alreet Dave, can't begrudge people making a living and there's plenty of sea for us all. Just a shame that the good rock marks also seem to be good for crabs and lobsters. There maybe another large fish or two, but there might not😉 Tight lines👍🎣

[@davedawson9851]

@@SlippyLimpets Yep - it's the same structure, although you can shoot on sand for Crab. I like potting 'cos its minimal in terms of sea bed destruction, breeding females are protected and both undersize and by-catch is returned. No spoilers for Sunday then! I'll just have to wait.....Sithi after.

[@SlippyLimpets]

Agreed, and you can even catch fish in them. Although, in Scotland there's no limit on the number of pots and in my local area, undersized are (apparently) regularly sold on the quayside and IFCA ignore it.

[@eclipsearchery9387]

Well done :) Looks like a lot of the places i've fished. Those big pollock are very tricky to land from the shore....as you said they always know where the snags are and you can't stop them because of the line angle.....I got myself a kayak for that reason! - sick of hooking the biggies after putting in hours of effort to get to the best spots only to lose them in the snags. Just got back from a trip to Skye with the kayak, perfect weather,flat calm seas and few midgies :) got a few doubles to hand as well :)

[@SlippyLimpets]

That was one class video Nathan 👍 Absolutely made up for you mate getting the doubles after the hard work you've put in 👏 well done sir 👏🎣👍 This year was about learning and finding my feet a bit in sea fishing, next year I raise the bar and start looking for bigger fish 😁 my biggest Pollock so far being 6 1/2lb Rain forecast for next week so hopefully a bit of salmon fishing on the way 🤞🎣 Again well done sir 👍

[@SlippyLimpets]

Glad you liked it Arnie and 6.5lb is a very respectable fish, especially if you just starting out. Although, being a salmon angler, I suspect you've had much bigger fish. Hope you get amongst the fish👍🎣

[@arniec5707]

22 1/2lb is my biggest so far Nathan 👍 I know you fish for trout but have you ever salmon fished

[@SlippyLimpets]

That's a beast! I've seen them on the river I trout fish on but never fished for them, yet. Now I've ticked off the DD pollack I might have some more time to try for the salmon.

[@arniec5707]

If you ever fancy a go at them get in touch I'll sort a day for you on a beautiful wee famous border's river out for you 👍 or need a few salmon fly's for your wee river I'll pop some in the post for you 👍

[@kevinbuckler1085]

OMG what an unbelievable session that was. Surprising how much swell there was considering how flat the sea was 🎣🐟

[@SlippyLimpets]

I'm still in shock! The swell is pretty strong up there. It's a ground swell from the 8FT swell rolling across the Atlantic, small I'm deep water but powerful when it hits shore, can catch you out up there, especially when the tide starts flooding

[@Oli.Brown.]

Wow! That 13lber is a unit! I’m actually amazed you were able to land them. I guess as they bolted for the ledge they didn’t do that crash dive out too far and just wanted to hang in the kelp right in front? Either way, great fishing and great knot tying. Onto the next challenge!

[@SlippyLimpets]

It was a brute! After my trip in February i knew i couldn't give them and inch and turn, hence the rapid pressure and winding. There wasn't much structure between where I was casting from and where they were hooked- they definitely knew what they were doing by heading to the ledge infront of us. Even then I needed to keep the pressure on and get them as high in the column as possible, else it would have been rock/barnacle against braid and game over. Completely different way of fishing to our usua pollackl marks but very, very exciting. And yeah, attention to knots was the most important part of the setup. Next challenge is to break the 15lb mark, or even break the UK record at 18lb. Although, I'll never kill one of them for the sake of my ego. A video will be enough 😂

Cool place!

[@seanmichaelmcparlandfishing]

I have been waiting on the video since I seen the pics

[@SlippyLimpets]

Thanks Sean, hope you enjoyed!

[@seanmichaelmcparlandfishing]

Great to see fish of that stamp mate. I enjoyed it but I bet it was not even close to the feeling of pulling that monster in

[@jeanpiepennamen5022]

Bravo !!! Très très beaux lieus !!!! 👏👏👏

[@londonviking3801]

Never seen a double figure pollack caught off the shore, never mind two! Huge congrats - no wonder you were buzzing. You didn't mention what the silver lure was but I know you have in other vids (just bad memory). I look forward to seeing Lewis with a double or two. Expected one of you to go in the drink sliding around that slope all day. Calves must have got a good workout. Sorry to hear re your sound issues - sucks when new gear doesn't work. Tight lines mate

[@SlippyLimpets]

Thanks LV. Got to admit it's the first time I've seen one on KZbin- could be another first for my channel, along with a drone shot of a bass hitting a topwater. Aye, it's not the most comfortable mark I've fished, my toes were black after standing on that slope for so long, but that's all forgotten about after that scrap. I still call them Zen's (the old name) but they're called a Razor Claw Silver Minnow and cost something like £1.50 from ebay. Hands down the most prolific metal I've ever used. Thanks, as always, and tight lines 🎣 👍

[@londonviking3801]

@@SlippyLimpets Thanks man, gonna see if I can get a few in my lure collection.

[@SlippyLimpets]

You should, so cheap and catch loads of different species, we've had bass, pollack, wrasse, coalfish, cod, pouting to name a few. They don't twist your braid like seekers do either. Just remember to replace the trebles because they're made of 🧀

[@londonviking3801]

@@SlippyLimpets According to Henry Gilbey, the seekers don't spin but wobble. I've not had a problem with surf seekers twisting braid (tho never caught a fish on them either - lol) Looks like those metal minnows are hard to get but I will find them. Yes, I did spot you had single hooks on your lures, good man!

[@SlippyLimpets]

He would say that 😉 they don't spin if you don't pause your retrieve, but pretty sure SG use the 360 spin as a selling point, though, and since pollack love hitting lures on the drop, you end up getting twisted braid due to the pauses.

[@Scoope31]

Just came across your site. Epic fishing. Quick question what spikes do you use on these rocks.

[@SlippyLimpets]

Thanks mate. I use Supatracks 1100 size.

[@andrewmair2712]

Well done! Content like this keeps me fishing beyond blanks. What was the name of spinner and what was Lewis' tackle set up as you made numerous references to his rod?

[@SlippyLimpets]

Thanks Andrew, I us sessions like this as a handle when the going gets tough as well. Spinners are called Razor Claw Silver Minnows. Lewis bought a 2nd hand 10ft Tenryu Power Beast jigging plugging rod capable of chucking 100g especially for this trip. It's designed for catching fish like GT's etc, so we thought it would be too beasty and not that great with Soft Plastics, but it seemed to work well.

[@hairyscone]

Ive got a video on a 16 but no chance its going on youtube haha nice catches bro.

[@SlippyLimpets]

16lb?! That must have bean a beast! Please don't upload it, it would mean I'd have to change the title😂

[@hairyscone]

@@SlippyLimpets hahaa I wouldnt want the spot ruined - family secret west coast honey pot - had many doubles from there and lost a many more

[@dn744]

Good day out 👍

[@djgrazer1974]

Brilliant Nathan.. Just goes to show if you put the time, effort and homework into sussing out fishing markd then eventually it will pay off.. As for the numpty putting his pots in front if u.. Well hr probs ment it.. Happened to me up Arbroath the guy just dropped his pots on top of my line.. 2 rigs gone.. Anyway well done mate.. Get in... 🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣

[@SlippyLimpets]

After all the years of trying , I was beginning to think it would never happen. Thankfully got there now, but maybe there's a bigger one lurking around🤔 He might have done but, TBF, I was a tourist and he could have been shooting pots there for the past 30 years, but at least we managed to fish in between them. The guy at Arbroath defo did it on purpose though, not good when you've already got lines in the water🤬

[@anguillaanguila7255]

great stuff

[@SlippyLimpets]

Thank you👍
