Thanks for the new video. I think the mild autumn and warmer water is likely to be the main reason for the weed, when I used to do the bulk of my sea fishing 30+ years ago there were no chances of bass and rays in November, yet now it's not out of the ordinary.

I'm with you on that mate. September marked the end of bass season as a kid. Now, my pb came in January this year.

I've often thought that the wind farms would benefit fish stocks as I'm guessing they can't lay nets around them. Judging by that cods stomach there is plenty of biodiversity on that stretch of coast

Hi agree with your comment as regards natural fish environment. Good for us shore anglers.😊 As regards weed could be due to change of weather climate etc. Wind farms shouldn't act as a net to contain weed. My thoughts only.

Hi Alex, I had several conversations with skippers when I used to go on boat charters about the future effects on fishing of the new wind farms. At the time their thoughts were that the vibrations from the wind farms would drive away the fish not provide sanctuaries as I thought they would. I haven’t seen any reports or spoken to anyone for some years. It would be really interesting to know if these big wind farms have become sanctuaries for breeding age fish and allowing small fish to grow on. I was hoping they would provide sanctuaries and improve shore fishing.
@lunacy19716 ай бұрын
One thing I learned about fishing dungeness in Kent Whiting after the whiting if you stop catching them that's the time you'll catch a cod ...so when youre catching lots of whiting isn't the best time to catch cod
@theawfulangler6 ай бұрын
Always the case, the bait has to be there. Cod follow the whiting, so if the whiting are there, the Cod aren't too far behind. Same as this summer on the mersey, the dogs would turn up, closely followed by the rays.

I was watching another video where the guy did an experiment comparing weed sticking on Braid v Mono. Mono won by a big margin. Hardly any on it compared to the braid
@theawfulangler6 ай бұрын
All depends. Mono has a much scooter surface. But usually, you need shockleader, which requires a knot. That's where the issues lie as far as I'm concerned. The amount of times I've had to run backwards up a beach or handball fish up a wall because the weed/knot combo are stuck in the tip ring (sounds painful)
