[@benheaton7706]

The intro sums up the fishing for the whole country it seems

[@davehumphreyson2678]

I sometimes despair about the amount of fishing litter i pick up when i go fishing, so good on you for picking it up. If only there were more channels like this straight talking and straight fishing , and you take your dad. Spot on mate.

[@kevinbuckler1085]

Can’t believe your dad beat you 😂😂,and what a shock to see a haddock. Keep up the good work Alex 🐟🤦‍♂️🍻

It's not the first time Kevin, and sure it won't be the last 😂

[@barryroberts6470]

Great video mate and well done Dad a lesson given there as to say "i've still got it son ha ha ha" and as for those weights blimey an early Christmas Present for you, and all because some idiots didn't bother to check and clean up, that really gets on my nerves that. A Merry Christmas to you and your Family including Dad, after all he was part of this winning video ha ha ha. Take Care, Stay Safe and have a Happy New Year, see you in 2024. Barry (the Wirral)

[@richardayres5001]

That yting you caught with the Gammy eye looked exactly like the yting I caught and released when me and John fished with the Codfather at withernsea on the 16th dec keep the videos coming bud all the best to you your dad and your family

[@melscott9643]

Love watching these with your Dad, proper father, son banter. I miss been able to do that with my dad . Brilliant video, great to see the haddock

[@markdannatt9680]

Hi Alex great video hope you’ve had a good Christmas and looking forward to the next one

[@andybowyer3602]

If anyone out there is struggling or feeling down reach out to someone even if it's a quick conversation on here to break the mindset, I know how hard it is this time of year! Big love to you all and happy Christmas ❤😊

[@remskicodhead1]

Cracking session well done lads

[@theawfulangler]

Thanks mate

[@andrewhaden7822]

Good session ,and an enjoyable video cheers

[@geoffcaptaincpaige1167]

Yer a good lad. If he were still alive I would be doing the same with my dad ! RIP

[@TheSuffolkshooter]

You're Dad showing you how it's done. 😊 A good days fishing spent in each others company. Nice little codling and new species with Haddock too. Hope you all had a great Xmas.

[@KarlFelton]

Another great video 👌 just heads up on the loop rig just make sure the bottom hook can't reach the swivel of the top snood. Looks like you sussed it yourself but a handy tip for anyone having a go at making them. Keep up the good work 👏

[@theawfulangler]

Good tip! I'm going to keep trailing stuff as I want something I can use for both bass and flatties this summer coming

[@KarlFelton]

It's a great all rounder and wouldn't go fishing without it. Hopefully you can make it to the Suffolk coast sometime..... the winter fishing is rubbish but we can put you on some fish in the warmer months 👍

[@peterc1927]

Another good watch Alex. I hope you had a lovely Family Christmas and wish you a Prosperous and Peaceful 2024 👍

[@nicksparkes1378]

Love these trips you have with your dad

[@markthomson7339]

Have a good christmas, I live in Western Australia now but used to fish the areas we you go now and find it entertaining to watch your videos. Good luck into 2024.

[@grahamjones504]

Merry Christmas and a happy new Alex/dad, your dad had me in stitches with his only liners with catching the cod. Great episode. 👍🐟🐟

[@R2Zmedia]

Great day Alex and brilliant so see Haddock being caught. If only everyone was as conscientious as you when it comes to cleaning up the environment. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

[@andybowyer3602]

Well done dad! Alex I hope you and your wife have had a lovely 1st Christmas with your son, all the very best from the bowyers!, happy Christmas m8! ❤

[@Ror0009]

Had some good leads from there

[@theawfulangler]

Probably replaced my total losses from 2023 😂

[@fishingcountrylifewithtommyjoe]

Love this video well done to the boss /dad

[@castersfishingwales2038]

Nice one Alex buddy Dad kicked your arse again well done pop Lol

[@mumtazzafar5696]

Great vlog as usual Alex . Love to see you fishing with your dad m8. Fishing is pretty crap on the beaches. Had a bit of a chat with hakan about fishing at mersey however he stated not to waste times there as nothing exciting is coming out of there either. It's been an absolutely crap season so far. I've got a ussed Shakespeare rod rest last week and I will probably try it next Monday

[@rogerredman-gp5qj]

good fishing mate and dad

[@nigelbarrett3602]

Nice days fishing especially with your dad for company. Happy Xmas to you both and your families.

[@richardjones2811]

6 Bass and loads of Whiting in a 3 hour session yesterday afternoon ( Christmas Day 🙄) North Wales still producing well buddy.

[@Jason-im3pz]

I'm watching this with 3 very still rods in front of me and you're the one saying you're not expecting much 😂😂

[@joannecheesman7255]

If you using one worm on bottom of loop rig , shorten length between hook and cascade , long if wanted on bottom snood but should not tangle, good video though good luck.😅😊

[@theawfulangler]

Thanks mate, someone else has suggested bringing the cascade closer to the hook, so I'll give that a go 👍🏼

[@Steve-Fish]

Enjoyed that, I'm going to hit up New Brighton this afternoon hopefully cross another species off the list.

[@theawfulangler]

Good luck Steve, what species are you after?

[@Steve-Fish]

@@theawfulangler Was hoping for a plaice but ended up hunting lugs instead.

[@uniuni7693]

Bring your dad more he is funny as hell lol

[@theawfulangler]

We will be fishing the euros together 👍🏼

[@ChrisH-kb8pm]

Merry Christmas and a happy new year to you and your family I hope you have a great year of fishing tight lines

[@dannyboii4351]

Holy goat you got more leads than angling direct right there bud, bet ya fuel consumption on the way home was bad with all that extra weight 😂 wow wee madness, bang on sesh tho bud big up ta dad n tight lines 💪👍

[@DelDredd]

Nice haul of lost leads etc.

[@nickstorey2926]

Top stuff gents, I thoroughly enjoyed it. The recovered leads were a bonus and environmentally friendly. Happy Christmas to you and all the other Awful Anglers watching 😂

[@martinlegg2151]

going to have to see if i can convince a mate to come up that way for a day or twos fishing,very different to down here....

[@markhodgson1251]

It was worth going out just for the weights, looked like a good dat out though, all the best mate

[@theawfulangler]

Too right mate, I needed to stock up before hitting some rough ground marks

[@neilsmith6461]

Morning Alex

[@theawfulangler]

Morning Neil 👋🏼

[@andyrawlings8361]

They don't say you have to cast at distance to get fish.... it's just good to be able to cast at distance incase they are that bit further out of reach of standard cast...

[@arniec5707]

There's nae shame in getting beaten by yer old man mate🙄 😂 it used to happen to me most of the time with mine 🤦😂 great video 👍 and well done to your dad with his codling 🎣 Merry Christmas & all the best for the New Year 🥃🍻

[@trevoror8668]

Be chuffed m self £30+ worth of gear keep on keepin on mate have a fish filled new year

[@mathewmyers2507]

Hi. Love your channel. What size hooks do you use for the cod fishing, best wishes for the New year 🎉

[@theawfulangler]

Thanks, Matt. All depends really. On the holderness, I like 3/0 hooks. Typically you're looking at cod up to the 2lb mark, with occasional better fish, which a 3/0 will manage easily. I've just been up on the Northumberland coast where the stamp of fish is much better and there I was using 6/0 hooks, although the lads I was with were landing them with 9/0 hooks

[@mathewmyers2507]

@@theawfulangler thank you. I appreciate the advice. Been trying for years in my local beach (Prestatyn). Hopefully this winter will be the one. Good finishing and have a brilliant new year 🎊

[@davidnewman1277]

Just like to get your opinion on why we are getting Haddock this year ?

[@theawfulangler]

Honestly, no idea. If it were just the holderness I'd query whether the wind farms are creating a favourable habitat. But I know they're being caught all over. It seems like they have shoaled up with the whiting. But what I do know, is if they return next year there could be some really nice sport to be had.

[@anthonyjones2465]

I used to fish with my brother who would only cast a short distance and he always did better than me. I think you may have been casting over the fish while your Dad was hauling them in. It's not often that you go fishing and come home with more tackle than you started with lol. Great to see you out again with your Dad and I have one question for you. You mentioned about maybe getting a boat so is it still on the cards?

[@theawfulangler]

Hi mate. Usually fishing on my own I'll have one rod at distance and one in short to cover the most possible ground. When out with my dad I let him cover the ground close in as I can cast further. Its a team sport right? 😂 A boat is still the target mate definitely. The agreement with Sarah is once I hit 10k subs. But at the same time, it will be funds dependent too.

[@georgethackray1151]

Hi Alex, thanks for another great video, I hope you've taken time off and enjoyed the Christmas break wit the family! I have a question regarding rods, I have just received an Akios Fury FX420 from Veals and just putting the rod together seems pretty tight at the two joints, is this standard and is there something you do to overcome this? I teamed this up with a Penn Spinfisher 7500lc which feels real quality! Looking forward to a break in the weather in the next week to try these out on the north Norfolk coast at either Weybourne or Cley Next the Sea. Thanks in advance, keep the great work up! Tight lines🎣

[@theawfulangler]

Thanks George. Yes, I've taken a bit of a break, thanks, hence the delayed reply. Personally id give the spigot a little rub with some wet/dry. You'd be better off contacting akios directly and seeing what they suggest. Their after sales is brilliant, and they will be able to advise you over the phone what the best thing to do is. Excellent rod/reel choice, though, perfect for your chosen coast line.

Ho was you at stallingbrough by any chance if so you did well and what peg was you at ?

Nice one alex and ya pld man. Well done the lead bounty, great find. Was that the yellow Cross were you was?. Merry Xmas from GRIMSBY

dad does sun at fishing and the cussing 🙂

[@keithchambers-oq6nb]

100% then..

[@gosnest]

What did you say your dad's KZbin channel is called, we would all like to hit the like button , subscribe, and buy some merchandise, then pay for his bait and fuel.

[@theawfulangler]

😂 send it my way, I'll see he gets it 😉

[@josealbertoii4664]

When you get to be your father's age, you'll understand why he cast so close. The bait no longer goes where we want, but only where we can get to.

[@robinmoore1994]

your dad got it right,give em a fucking good ignoring too ,especiall if your on big uns,dont get into em to quick

[@theawfulangler]

Did that, then got in to um, then ignored um. Not sure what was going on, must have been small stuff that were just really fired up

Nice of you to let your dad kick your arsse matey propper sportsman ha ha ha😅
