How to use a non returning slide for big fish

[@kimeermothilal-ep1cs]

As a south African fisherman I must say you've mastered this technique absolutely beautiful

[@Billyfishing_watch]

Thanks so much brother! But I learnt from the best. Maybe one day, I can slide a bait down your way! Tight lines 😁👌

[@deshnaidoo2558]

Just found this video, kudos for giving South Africans the credit.

[@Billyfishing_watch]

Hi Desh, South African fishing had made my life more interesting, and has caught my best fish. Not bad for the EU. If you know who came up with the idea I would love to know. Thanks Brother 👍😁

[@deshnaidoo2558]

@@Billyfishing_watch Hey man, I have no clue who exactly came up with it haha, its been a technique used here since the 60s if im not mistaken, learned it from my old man and grandad.

[@Billyfishing_watch]

I had no idea it was used back in the 60s. I first heard of it about 15 years ago, thanks Brother 👍

[@benp1201]

They been doing this in NZ for 50 years brother no credit given

[@haydnjames5617]

@Billyfishing_watch South African rock & surf fisherman were using the slide technique from the 60's & 70's. Problem with it was the fish could swim up and down the line at its peril and you had to keep shaking the line to keep the live bait out. Often you had a pick up and the bait was no where near the end of the line and it was difficult to set the hooks on a run. This was a clip on slide system and was free running, The Non Return Slide example you display in your video was a modified improvement that became very popular in the early 80's

[@jlansdale536]

What a process! Back here in the states we just do the regular thing. All that rigging cuts into my beer drinking time! Stay good, tight lines.

[@Billyfishing_watch]

Nice, thanks Brother 👌

Jeez billy thats what im doing wrong! I'm not tugging it hard enough 😊 Thats yet another pint across the bar for you my friend ... cheers

Thanks Turkey, hopefully one day I will collect 🤣👌

[@kitchensalive]

That was one of the best and most informative surf fishing videos I have ever seen! Thanks for taking the time to make it. If they outlaw drone fishing in Texas, I will be trying this method.

[@Billyfishing_watch]

Hi bud. As far as I understand there's not much that's illegal in Texas, but if it ever happens this will work just fine, I reckon. Thanks Brother 👍😁👌

[@kitchensalive]

@@Billyfishing_watch we do have a lot of regs. Most guys are pretty conscious about preserving the fishery. Most of the regs are good and make sense. But you always get the 1% that ruins it for the rest of us.

[@Billyfishing_watch]

@@kitchensalive No bud, the rules in the EU are stacked in commercial fisheries favour. Fish conservation in the EU is a joke. The norwegians have some good rules and good conservation tactics. Thanks Brother 👍😁

I bought a few of these few years back and not used them yet. Planning on going down southwest Cork try find deep water along coast line see what it throws up. Great video Billy well explained on how to use 👍

Hi Rich. Glad you liked it, yeh Cork is the spot. Great water, thanks bud👍😁

[@simonlightfoot6585]

Thanks for this vid. I was watching someone last week using this way of fishing and I like it my self. I go Tope fishing on the beach in South Wales UK and trying to cast 10+ oz of lead and bait I'm not the best. This is probably the best way to get the distance and to put a full Mackerel out as well. Thanks for all your vidz. and the amount I'm learning from them. Tight lines.

[@Billyfishing_watch]

Hi Simon, thanks Brother. But there are more ways to skin a cat, or tope in this case. Glad you like it, fish on 👍😁👌

Hi David, I have not finished that way in a long time I'm but what is an excellent way to pick up a big fish. Give it a go sometime, you might hook a monster. Fish on brother 👍😁

[@Hooksleft-1]

@@Billyfishing_watch so I'm in Southern California, if I want mackerel and not on a boat, it's not exactly easy. I can buy Frozen mackerel bait from a bait store but it almost instantly falls apart. Your mackerel appears frozen solid...yes? If so, should I simply buy a mackerel from our local Asian fish market, freeze that and head out while it's still frozen? Because only times I've seen mackerel hold up is fresh. Thanks!

[@kevinerberber]

hey thank you billy over the years i thought many people hoe to use it this vey educating video funky isnt it i been using all sorts of sinker slides for 4 decaades often you set it all daay or night & nothing other times 1 after the other while nothing else works besides a sinker slide its some work but prudoctive when done properly speacilly with live bait

[@Billyfishing_watch]

Hi Kevin. Glad to help out, I have hooked many great fish this way. Thanks Brother 👍😁

[@Billyfishing_watch]

Thanks buddy, and happy New year to you 👍😁👌

[@ShorrockPaul]

Great Stuff, really explained it well. Only thing i would add is that with this system you dont strike when the fish bites you let it run to set the hooks and increase the drag gradually, I use this sytem in West Africa for snapper

[@Billyfishing_watch]

Hi Paul. As it goes, I always fish circle hooks. So you know what my next sentence is. but you can't get everything into one video, it to much for a beginner. But thank you for getting involved, so there's nothing on said. Thanks Brother, fish on 👍😁👌

So that's not Dollymount? That's a good technique. I'd imagine the extra work can bay off big? Speaking of Dollymount, the bass fishing has really picked up there over the years, so I might give this a go on the next spring tide. 👍

Hi Jesus. Sure, way not. You can use some lighter steel, I think 😂 Thanks Brother, hope you hook up 👍😁

Hey Billy do you reckon you could use that spring steel for making angel clips like the way sandman does?

That's what I use it for mostly, it's much better than 316, because 316 has no iron in it, 304 has iron in it, and can be tempered, so you can use thinner wire, the best choice, thanks brother 👍😁

That was AWESOME. Thank you. Its given me some ideas to fish for the Cod in the winter with small Whiting as bait. Can't wait to try it this winter. Can this be used with small live baits or will it tangle? Thank you.

[@Billyfishing_watch]

Thanks Nige, yes it can, but with something about 20cm or more,so it can pull the slid, so you just let the fish swim it out, no shaking the rod, I think you could do it with a small fish like a dead bait👍😁

[@MrSuperchargedv8]

what's the easiest way to tell if the tide is coming in or going out?

[@Billyfishing_watch]

Hi. The easiest way to tell if the tide is coming in these days is, to get a tide app for your phone. But failing that, if you can see some seaweed and it is still dry. The tide is on its it's way, in and if it is wet it's on the way out. hope this helps out thanks buddy 👍😁
