Great vid again Dylan can't beat Yarmouth pier when live on the Isle wight I ust love it their smashing break buddy well done

[@FrugalOutdoors]

Thanks mate, yeah it does fish well down there. It's not my favourite place to fish though, I have to admit I prefer the beaches, but it does fish better on the pier. That's the pay off👍🎣🎣

[@simonnewtom]

Well done a brilliant session, 😊

[@FrugalOutdoors]

Thanks Simon mate, was so chuffed. Finally got myself a sole too, got it on Saturday and will be on the next edit. Don't forget to email me your address buddy. 👍👍🎣🎣🙏

You smashed it lovely sole. The rubbish people leave behind is just crazy. I had a few hours by the Newport rowing club.. the rubbish was ridiculous (why). Had couple bass...nothing spectacular..but fish...Great video Dylan...tight lines mate.

[@FrugalOutdoors]

Thanks Simon, and good work on the bass, just recently I went out , and managed one. Went specifically to get one, so was happy. Missed a couple too. The rubbish is not cool is it. I don't get the mentality at all🎣🎣👍👍🙏

Bloody loved that mate. I'm stuck in the middle of France -- hundreds of miles away from sea in any direction. We do have wine, but I'd swap a good bottle for a day on Yarmouth pier!

What a great video Dylan! Not fished from a pier yet, just off the beaches in Norfolk. Great channel, cheers, tight lines 🎣

[@FrugalOutdoors]

Thanks buddy, I have mixed feelings about pier fishing. Undoubtedly they get you on the fish. Deeper water and structure so you definitely give yourself a better chance of catching, but for me personally, I find it a bit boring, maybe boring isn't the right word, maybe uninspiring. I would just rather be on a beach somewhere. It's really difficult at the moment for us on the island, as when the storms come in, the back of the island is pretty much unfishable, which leaves the Solent, and most of that is promenades and piers.🎣🎣👍👍

[@carldawson832]

Eazy dylan you ok pal, well done on your session apart from camera getting blown about n damaged. Wow what a massive bream mate spot on. Alll the best mate from G.Y.

[@FrugalOutdoors]

Thanks buddy, a dog fish is better than no fish. I haven't had many this year, but I reckon they'll be around in some numbers soon 😂🎣🎣🎣

[@jimmills6093]

I'm chuffed for you. That was a fantastic video. Bream was a beauty, bass looked in top condition & the straps you just have to put up with. What a change in conditions too, windy as hell at the end. Never mind the tripod - the bream made up for it. I hope the fish suppers were as good as the catching of them. Well done Dylan. 👍

I’ve not fished on the pier for along time but get some decent bass from the entrance on the left towards concrete pontoon they reside under it..also say hi to nick for me not seen him around for a while..🎣👍🏻

[@FrugalOutdoors]

Thanks for the top buddy, I will say hi for you. I have to be honest, pier fishing doesn't do it for me at all. I find it pretty uninspiring. But when the fish are there, it can be good fun. Thanks bud👍🎣🎣

Used to catch some nice Bream when I was out in Australia. Loads of them out there.

[@FrugalOutdoors]

Awesome buddy, do they call them Porgy out there, I think thats what they call them in the states. Unfortunately we don't get many gilthead bream here, but the odd one turns up and they are up to 7lb👍🎣🎣

@@FrugalOutdoors no they pronounce it Brim which really used to wind me up.

[@INTERTELTOP1]

Hi Dylan ... what a stonking bream🐟 your third one was ... But I think your second was a bit small🔍 for keeping ... A drop net might be an item for next time ... I, as always thoroughly enjoy your videos, and the way you present them ... 👍🎣🎣 Eat well ... John.

[@FrugalOutdoors]

Thanks John, that big one, was the biggest I've ever seen. They do get a few over 3lb each year here, but I was just so chuffed to get one. The second one was on the smaller side for sure, but still over pound. On the limit to what I usually take. Even in size some of them are just too small for me. Always appreciate your input mate, thank you👍👍🎣🎣

[@madair3896]

Im so sorry but all i can is Jurgen Klopp fishing. 😂😂😂😂 once i saw it i couldn't unsee it. Nice bream mate but i wouldn't have gotten rid of the eel.

[@FrugalOutdoors]

Lol, you aren't the first person to say that. Thanks mate, would you have eaten the eel then? I've often considered taking one to see what they are like. I feel one 6-8lb would be a good eating size 👍🎣🎣

Cracking session that Dylan, a nice variety of species and that Bream was huge, don't think I've seen one that big before! Can't remember the last time I fished off a pier, probably would have been Penarth pier a few years ago. Hope the tripod is fixable... I've lost count of how many I've got through ha! Well done bud, great watch as always 👍👍

[@FrugalOutdoors]

Thanks mate, yeah I'm on my third tripod now, and probably onto the fourth very soon. Fortunately it was the lower section of leg so just means it's a bit shorter now😂. Pier fishing isn't my first choice to be honest. I much prefer being on the beach, much quieter and just a nicer place to sit and clear the head. Take care mate👍👍🎣🎣🙏

another great view!! nice fish caught as well, have the comps dried up and are you still top of league?

Thanks mate, I fished another comp last night. Came second, and had my first sole. Over 2lb, so well happy with that result. Still top🎉👍👍🎣

[@user-ut6mw3ot2s]

Great session Dylan which would suit me down to the ground as I am a rubbish caster. Are the bream good eating? I would assume they are best cooked on the bone. I notice that one of your reels is a bit noisy when reeling in. Is it ok. Best wishes, Dave broadstairs

[@FrugalOutdoors]

Hey Dave mate, yeah the reels are fine, it's just I was using 4 strand broad which is super noisy under load. Bream are great eating, really nice. If we are having a BBQ, I leave them as they are, but otherwise. I do fillet them, and take out the pin bones. We try to make one fish do two people, even if it's only a pound. Stretches it out a bit. Obviously the bigger ones, we just have a bigger fillet😂😂👍🎣🎣🎣

[@stanleysmith8319]

Have u tried cowes harbour there’s some nice bass on a spinning rod at about 9 o’clock every morning you should try it 😊

[@FrugalOutdoors]

I haven't, but I have heard there are loads of bass in there. Also East Cowes is supposed to be pretty prolific for bass👍👍

[@stevenprice4810]

How are you cooking your bass? Nice video 👌🏻

[@FrugalOutdoors]

Thanks mate, bass I take the fillets off, pull out the pin bones, and then pan fry with a tiny bit of oil, but well seasoned in a pan, skin side down for almost all the cooking, get it nice and crispy, then flip over for just two minutes on flesh side. Great with butter beans and spinach🍻🍻👍🎣🎣

[@ericsmallwood6562]

Great fish mate, what does st helens fish like

[@FrugalOutdoors]

Thanks buddy, Ive only fished st helens twice, to be honest I didn't find it fished that well. I do know a few people do well for bass over there though👍👍🎣🎣

[@Mentalelffishing]

I’d have used a squid or Mack is for the bass bait considering the time of year.

[@Mentalelffishing]

Posted right before you got the bass lol

[@FrugalOutdoors]

Yeah to be honest I didn't go with any mackerel as I didn't have any intention of fishing for a bass, I'd normally only use mackerel or pout when specifically targeting bass. We have a bass roamer this weekend, so fish baits only. Thanks mate🎣👍👍

[@FrugalOutdoors]

Lol, I fluked that one to be fair. On my bream rig, with some squid, size 2 hook 😂😂🎣🎣

Fair enough must have misheard you, thought I’d heard you mention “the bass rod at some point.

[@southerner4566]

That reel sounds a bit under loaded when you cast

[@FrugalOutdoors]

Yeah I think I say in the video that I need to reload the line, as it's a tad on the shorter side. All loaded again now though👍🎣🎣🎣

[@teddyj198]

Its not the reel it's because he's using braid, Please say you put that back, that's a good fish for breeding

[@FrugalOutdoors]

You're bang on Terry, and I'm glad someone noticed. It is indeed the braid, as I use 4 strand. I do now have 8 strand on, far quieter but still has some noise to it. On that occasion I didn't put it back, I know everyone is different, but my view is anything over 30cms breeding stock, as that's when the females turn to males to spawn, so whether it was 32cms or in this case over 40, it makes little to no difference. That might not sit well with some people, and I do understand, but my opinion differs that's all. I fish for food, as often as I can, summer it's bream and bass mainly, winter it's whiting, pout and dogs. I don't take skate etc, and I don't kill fish unnecessarily. But if I can take it, and I'm not breaking any regulations, I believe it's fair game. I appreciate your comments, and it's certainly given me food for thought👍👍🎣🎣

[@richardgiblin5576]

those tri-pods are useless. They brake at the screw holes. As for the fishing, impressive to say the least.

[@FrugalOutdoors]

Yeah I bought a lighter one, as my old one was quite heavy. Paid more for the lighter one, then the leg snaps😂😂🎣🎣👍

[@jimdavids6708]

Some Vaseline on your reel 😂

[@FrugalOutdoors]

😂😂 That will be 4 strand braid for you. So noisy 👍🎣🎣

[@thetattooedangler]

You have the noisiest reels of anybody in the history of fishing. Lovely fish though.

[@FrugalOutdoors]

Lol, mate 4 strand braid, don't ever buy it, it's sooo noisy. Just replaced with 8 strand and it's much smoother😂😂🎣🎣👍

[@tonycamplin8607]

A great bream, well done but for heavens sake oil your reels they squeak terribly. By the way why do you cast out so far? There's a lot of fish right against pier supports, especially bass. Pity about that broken equipment, apart from that a good session.

[@FrugalOutdoors]

Thanks Tony, unfortunately oil won't sort out the noise from 4 strand braid. I have however had enough of the noise and have got 8 strand on there now. It is still a bit noisy, but no where near as bad. As regards to distance I was fishing up there with someone who has fished it for 30 years or more. When it was the original longer pier. Apparently there is much deeper water just that bit further out, and the bream love it there. I did have a rod down the side for a bass😉👍🎣🎣🎣
