Colwyn Bay sea fishing UK - ITS A GOOD ONE, MUST WATCH! CHASING COD STILL 😉

A quick session turns into non-stop action with myself having difficulty keeping bait in the water, its action-packed, and keeps on rolling. It's a must watch!

Enjoy, guys!

[@fishingsquaduk1251]

First comment on your channel mate, been watching yours and johns channel a while now. Loved the video mate top stuff. I’ve never tried limpet in darkness before think you’ve inspired me to try it. I’ve used it a lot for wrasse/pollack in daytime when short on bait and always caught on it. It certainly bulked the baits up nice 👍 You would imagine that cod, bass and other species would eat them even as a plain bait. Tight lines, all the best. Karl

[@thatsabite]

Thanks for the kind words mate, means an awful lot! The limpets is the first time I've fished with them and proved out to be OK as plumping up the bait as you say! I believe the wrasse will love them from what I've read! However, it's the muscles I want for the cod, I think I know where they are in abundance, so I'll go and check over low water. Tight lines buddy, and thanks for watching!

NICE VIDEO WELL DONE, A QUICK TIP IF IT, S THAT COLD TAKE A SMALL CAMPING STOVE AND 2 EGGS BOIL THEM RAP IN TIN FOIL PUT THEM IN YOUR POCKET, S THEY WILL STAY WARM FOR SOMETIME, AND NO MORE COLD HANDS. CHEERS CHRIS

[@thatsabite]

I like that tip, plus when they cool down, some nice food. 👌

[@LocoOco]

I'm new to sea fishing Mike. The limpets you used, would you think it would be a good idea to stick them on a dongle? Would that be a good idea, or not? Better to ask, than go ahead and do it, l reckon suppose. Better to ask the people with experience. Loving the content btw Mike, keep up the good work👍

[@thatsabite]

Great to see you starting! Yes, I suppose they would work well on a dongle, muscles would be even better to be honest. If you can get muscles, there a good bait. 👍 I do try my best with the content and it'll only get better as time progresses, I've got so much I want to add additional into the filming via equipment etc. Massive thankyou though, go get them!

[@LocoOco]

[@TheDrum2010]

Is Colwyn prom snaggy ? Where would be the least anaggy points ? Opposite the arches or to the right as you look out to the water

[@thatsabite]

Anywhere from the arches up to rhos is sand, to the right of the arches (as you look at the sea) is very snaggy. Goof though, but rotten bottoms and expect gear loss.

[@angleseytightlines2918]

that rockling was a shore rockling, it has 3 beards but much smaller than the 3 bearded and a much darker brown compared to a more redish colour of the 3.

Great video. Do you ever get the line rapping round the rod lights I fancy using them just worried line get wrapped and snaps the tip.

[@thatsabite]

Just check each time you cast, once I've clicked the bail alarm, i just use my index thinger to feel if the line is moving freely, so far no problems. These are rig shark lights, I love them. www.rigshark.co.uk

[@rehmanmalik1089]

Thanks for that I will have a look at them online. Keep up the videos there superb

[@billymackenzie5231]

I used these pulley beads as intended, check the holes through,after several outings 40lb rig body cuts through the plastic and the line doesn’t run through it , like you,not impressed, went back to 100lb swivels 👍.btw,tight lines 👍

[@thatsabite]

I'm glad I spotted it to be honest, my good friend Martin has advised the use of a certain pulley which I'm about to get onto. Pretty decent to be honest.

Great video but make sure that you put the rocks back to the same spot where they had been originally 👍

I did have a clip of myself mentioning that, it's what I normally do to be honest. The clip wasn't good, very muffled. But I agree with what you are saying.

[@mtadave6702]

Bro, your literally catching catching the best cod bait and don't even know it. 2 hook flapper, 2/0 pennels on 40lb snoods, hook the whitting on the bite and leave it there. Or dead bait one, but live will ring the dinner bell where you want it. Lil tip from an ol sea dawg from Mon.

[@thatsabite]

Oh mate, I know the whiting is a cracking cod bait. I tried for the past two years of our shore with them, to no avail. This winter, I'm telling you now, I'll have me that cod! 🥍

[@mtadave6702]

@@thatsabite ye man, just keep slugging away as you do de. Ty croes way the cod hit first, try that method in a couple months time off that side. You hook the whitting out there btw, strike the bite and leave the fish flap on the end until a cod inhales it. Whitting don't survive being blasted 150 yds alive.

[@richardbrown4294]

If you turn a rock over you should put it back.

[@thatsabite]

As explained before in other comments, I do regularly do this, however... the footage didn't make the clip. I've been corrected about 5 times already. My question, most rocks get tumbled around in the surf, right? But yes, I do turn them!
