Early Season Lures for Cod and Pollack in Beadnell - Northumberland - Kayak Sea Fishing UK

A cracking day lure fishing for Cod and Pollack over the rough ground around Seahouses and Beadnell. I had to get up at 4:00am to beat the weather but it was totally worth it with lots of codling and a few bonus pollack to the kayak. After a slow start the fish came thick and fast all falling to the ever deadly weedless shads

Another enjoyable instructive vid Chris .Keep it coming .your FF is yet to prove as productive ! One day 🤞

[@onthedropfishing]

Thanks Stuart, you’ll get there I’m sure 👍🎣🎣🎣

[@markwatkins4492]

Great vids, easy on the eyes and ears,top fishing, experience shows.All the guys subbed to the other bigger channels will get this on their home pages at some point, once seen I reckon you will be in for a big boost in subs.Forgot to mention the editing.... decent.Good luck!!!

[@onthedropfishing]

Thanks Mark, I really appreciate your feedback. There’s a canny bit of effort goes in and it’s nice when someone notices. The channel is up to 2600 subs now so fingers crossed it starts getting noticed more widely soon. Kayak fishing is quite niche so I’m gonna be doing a lot of different venues and species this year, I’m also gonna be filming my shore stuff which I haven’t done yet. Whatever happens I’m enjoying it.😁 Thanks for your support Mark and tight lines 👍🎣

[@elkayakfish]

Once again a great video :)

[@onthedropfishing]

Thank you very much. I’m glad you’re enjoying the content 😊🎣

[@reelfishingsibandshore.851]

What yu wanna do Chris is warm a small screwdriver and melt inside the belly behind the split to the tail so it has a small cavity then inject the scent inside the lure, that’s how I rig my custom lures so there always scented

[@onthedropfishing]

Ooh, that sounds like a plan that Paul, cheers mate 👍

[@reelfishingsibandshore.851]

@@onthedropfishing it’s easier with bigger shads I use a daylight during the mould process so the cavity is always there or a daylight can be inserted it’s the waters manky

[@williamshirkie9401]

Fantastic as usual hopefully I’ll have my sib out in the next few weeks 🎣

[@onthedropfishing]

The season has started proper I think- time to dust your rods off 👍🎣

[@danielguy7304]

brilliant video as usual Chris. thanks for mentioning that Krill Spray, I've ordered one for my lures! You should get commission 😂

[@onthedropfishing]

Thanks Daniel, I’m glad you’re enjoying the content. I’ve no idea if the spray makes any real difference but I’ve bought the vanilla one as well just in case! 🤣🎣

Great video 👍🎣

[@onthedropfishing]

Thanks very much Darren 👍🎣

[@deaks4570]

Often wondered about using scent. The american fresh water and sea anglers frequently use things like pro-cure etc so much so I've got some different variations to try this year. You never know

[@onthedropfishing]

Well I t can’t do any harm can it. I’ve got a couple of different smells to try as well now. Only time will tell eh! 👍🎣

[@ahmelmahay]

I have a tiny bottle of krill juice in my fishing kit and its been there for nearly 24 years....bet it smells even worse than it did when i first opened it LOL

[@onthedropfishing]

It’ll have matured like a fine wine 🍷🎣

[@eclipsearchery9387]

Hi, just found your videos..found them all really enjoyable :) I've just got a kayak and am also based in the North East would you mind recommending me a couple of spots to try out, hoping to get out over the next couple of days,light winds etc forecast!

[@onthedropfishing]

Hi mate, Beadnell is a nice easy launch straight from the car park. You don’t need to go miles out either. Be careful if the current though as the tide can fair fly through there. Be sure you have all your safety gear as well, dry suit, pfd, vhf etc. Tight lines 👍🎣

[@ryanwhite6247]

Great video Chris. Do you get much bass up your way. 🎣

[@onthedropfishing]

Thanks Ryan, we have bass but not in great numbers. I’ve got plans to travel west for a serious session or two later in the year. Tight lines mate 👍🎣

[@ryanwhite6247]

@@onthedropfishing nice one Chris look forward to the videos. 🎣

[@joncampbell3641]

Great fishing Chris do you ever use metals at all? Was thinking of a kayak forWhitby and the surrounding area

[@onthedropfishing]

Yes I do, In the Port Logan vid (one before this one) most of the fish came to metals 👍🎣

[@iulianmuresanu]

I had a drive down to the water but the sea was too rough and cold. I thought to myself: "I'll wait for Chris to start posting again before I give it another go" :))

[@onthedropfishing]

It was Thursday just gone, as I say I had to get up at 4:00am to catch the weather window. Hopefully it will settle a bit now! 🎣

[@iulianmuresanu]

@@onthedropfishing there doesn't seem to be a good way to make sure what the sea is like before going down. "Light breeze" seems to be the key word. That and the tide. I hope to make my first sea outing soon. Tx for the reply and great vid, as always

[@onthedropfishing]

@@iulianmuresanu I use windy as my primary app and Magic seaweed second. You need the wind to be from the shore for a day or two as a rule of thumb and less than ten miles per hour on the day. It all depends on which part of the country you fish in as well as there can still be a sea running in some places regardless of the wind. Join a local group on FB to find out about your area. People are really helpful safety wise. Also need to plan ahead and see what wind is forecast for later in the day. Avoid onshore (from the sea) winds. Most important, trust your own eyes when you get there, if it doesn’t feel right don’t go out. And don’t go on your own if you’re inexperienced or don’t have the correct safety equipment 👍🎣

[@iulianmuresanu]

@@onthedropfishing tx for the advice, good stuff. I have all the kit, vest, radio, drysuit etc. Just need to ask around, see who else does kayak fishing around here.

[@Onthemarkfishinguk]

Hi Chris you make it look so easy I've had a dogfish off the yak I'll be back out soon off the kent coast looking for bass check out the channel keep up the good work cheers mate👍👍👍

[@onthedropfishing]

Cheers Dan, tight lines mate 👍🎣

[@davidcaswell3535]

Hi Pal in one of your videos you said about possibly changing your VHF Radio to one with DSC Locating on it, i have just followed your way of thinking and have got the Standard Horizon Hx890E with GPS & DSC but when i turn it on its asking for a MMSI number, do you know anything about this, i have looked on line but cant seem to find out where i get one.

[@onthedropfishing]

Hi mate, you get that when you apply for your (mandatory) free ofcom license. It only takes a moment to do, is a legal requirement and is free. Don’t confuse it with the VHF short course license which you legally need if you want to call up other boats/kayaks (short course costs money). You can use your radio for emergency calls only without the short course license but you still need the free ofcom one if you own a vhf. I hope that makes sense! 🤣

[@davidcaswell3535]

@@onthedropfishing Thank you thats great and helpful

[@magnuscraigie434]

What type of kayak would you recommend to a beginner

[@onthedropfishing]

Morning, If you’re going to sea in it whatever you buy needs to be 12ft plus in length. You want stability over speed as well if you’re just starting out so the non pedal version of mine might be a good place to start? A used Galaxy Sturgeon mkII or later would be great value. Don’t forget to keep half of your budget for your safety gear. Tight lines 👍🎣

[@magnuscraigie434]

@@onthedropfishing Thanks for the advice👍

[@chrisdavison2022]

Oiling your lure...?!!?! That's cheating! 😆😉 You're either bait fishing or lure fishing - not in between! 🙈

[@onthedropfishing]

Just don’t accidentally spray it up your sleeve whatever you do!
