Cod hunt - Runswick Bay - I've never had a session like this!!

Well, after a week of big seas, the forecasts were warning of 3-4ft surf, which sounded like ideal conditions to test out a spot I'd always wanted to fish.
The 2.5hr drive up there was filled with mixed emotions, excitement, anticipation, and strange undertones of nerves. I'm not sure what it is, but I get a strong gut feeling about something, I'm usually not wrong. When I pulled down the hill, I couldn't believe my eyes. Where was the surf? Where were the waves? Where was the sea? It looked like it had been replaced by a mirror. I couldn't believe it!!
You know me, not one to be put off, I soldiered on. I kept reciting positive thoughts as I made my way around the bay. And fished with everything I had.
Chuffed to bits to now be fishing with a pair of Akios Fury FX420 rods. I honestly don't think you can get a better rod for the money.
Until next time, take care and tight lines!

[@russellgibbon8621]

No fish, no problem . . . I still enjoyed every minute! Thanks. It certainly looks a nice part of the world . . . a whole lot better than Mostyn Docks!

Thanks Russell!! Yeah, at least I wasn't covered in sludge when I got back to the van!

Used to fish Runswick 40 years ago, never came away empty. Some used to laugh at me when I was digging lug with a rod out, but I was laughing at them.

Never mind mate we have all been there at one point, at least the paddle boarders didn't take your line. I was fishing in a comp once and were warned that if you are a long caster don't do it come short a bit, the reason being that it was showing off season and the local pillocks putting it nicely decide to have a speed boat dash pass the fishermen, you know what's coming next? my rod and two other fellas rods flew off after the boats caught the line, never to be seen again and i wasn't insured so when i bought my next rod and my Abu 7000 which at the time cost me a few quid i managed to get all my fishing stuff insured stupid speed boats ha ha ha.

I totally relate, enjoyed so many long waits on moderately uncomfortable beaches and rock marks. Low-tide retrieved lost leads to recast when I get round to a melting and casting sesh. Motionless rod tips (even when relieving myself), consider the weight of bait I've used the last x months and the weight of fish caught. About the same I guess. I like digging worms as well😀. Not been for quite a while and the calling is happening again. Will let you know👍

Get yourself out there Duncan! Statistically, you're 100% more likely to catch with bait in the water than sat at home.

If you do fish there again the best place I’ve found there is to fish between the chalet and the concrete bunker, I fished there a few weeks ago and done quite well. There was roughly 15 anglers and believe everyone caught decent fish. You do need a decent sea running. I have fished a couple of marks there and I found the beach fished best. Great video as usual.

Can be a good place to fish, 🎣🎣but due to the masses of weed you can get on a big sea I would advise a stiffish rock rod. If you want to see what I mean, watch fish hunter UK video. He fished there, I think it was 1year ago,in rough conditions. 🫣😲 Some nice holes on the rocks you were on, and lots of lads fish the blue yacht club on the beach.👍 I've tried the large blocks at the bottom of the bank twice. Nowt. Just sore ankles, they are sh*t to walk on, and if you drop owt it's gone for good.🥺 From what I've heard it's been pretty poor for cod between Hartlepool and Whitby area this cod season. 🥺Most blaming the crab, lobster etc die off, which they are still "investigating".🤔🤔 Good luck on your quest and all the very best to you, your wife, and especially your son.❤️ Take care and stay safe.😷🙊

Its a shame you didn't catch at Runswick its a really good cod mark .I've fished for many years as its close to where I live but you do need a bit of sea running for it to fish well. If you decide to fish it again in more suitable conditions you will find it becomes extremely weedy so you need strong gear and simple rigs. Looking forward to your next video. Good luck.

Hey up , we've chatted before , I've done a load of coarse match fishing but never tried the sea ! Its a whole new world and so interesting . Its great that you give loads of detail about set / gear etc. but can I just ask , what do you mean by being clipped up ! . Do you hook one into another expecting it to unclip after casting ? ? ?

[@theawfulangler]

Hiya mate! It all depends on the rig. But essentially yes, you clip the hooks down so it stays more aerodynamic when casting and doesn't get as tangled. Some rigs clip the hook lengths to one another, some clip down to the weight, some do some real fancy stuff 😅 but the intention is that it all releases on impact

[@alc7897]

Sorry if this has been asked before, but if you had the choice of the 3 piece rod, or a similar priced 2 piece which would you prefer and why? A lot of experienced fishermen try to tell me to avoid 3 piece without a reason other than "They're crap" Grounds would be beach/mixed/occasional heavy

[@theawfulangler]

It's a good question pal, and the honest answer is all down to personal choice. The 3 piece and the collapsible rod stand mean they fit nicely either across the back seats or in the back of my little swb connect. And for beach and mixed fishing I love the fury. I do also have 2 piece rods which I'll be using on the heavy ground marks and for bigger specimens this summer. Again they're great. You could argue a 2 piece has less joints and the taper is more even meaning it compresses (bends) more along its length. But the 3 piece rods are fine for me. Bit of a politians answer 😅 but my honest opinion.

Get yourself to the big comp march you need 1 fish sat 1 fish sun both size who knows anyone can do it

[@theawfulangler]

Yeah that's it mate! Fished the Daiwa late last year. Fished the day before and caught a cod that would have won it. But blanked when it counted 😅

[@Thecat1612]

We all have had them😢

Part of the game, Pat 🥴

02:00 look like the tide had already turned.

[@theawfulangler]

Think the tide turned just as I got the second bait out

[@williamavery9185]

Please fish the comp. Make a great film.

Will all depend on when Jack's allowed home. But watch this space

[@davidirvine991]

Just watched it again even more enjoyable 😅 flat as a witches tit 😂I say that myself 😅 Hope the lil man Jack is ok 🙏🏻 ps fished that Big match a couple of times real bummer like this years and ever caught flatfish whiting and a rockling small codling’s nothing worth weighing in 🤦🏻‍♂️🎣🐟🐟🐟

[@theawfulangler]

Thanks for watching David! I had a cracking session on day 2 but missed the weigh-in which was gutting at the time, but looking back really enjoyable day out
