Yo bud walking through the bush saying rod in hand sounds like yer goin doggin not fishin 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@johndavies1564]

You're some fisherman Greg, watching you reminds me, as a young lad, fishing with a home made rod off Strood Pier totally addicted but without the knowledge that you have gained. Love watching your videos from Kent, my old stomping ground from fishing down at the Strand ( we used to go to the paddling pool and occasionally a swim in the open air pool, always bloody freezing cold. Moved to Sheppey and fished all over so you can imagine why i watch all your videos. Best wishes from an old man of Kent Greg.

I'm glad that my videos have brought back happy memories I'm still learning with the fishing but did feel I had something to give hench the youtube channel. Thanks for the comment John, I really appreciate them👍

[@mob257774]

I think you got your tactics spot on. You would have been overcasting them with a lure, and that long rod meant you could stay well back from the edge. Great bit of fishing there.

[@gsp]

Cheers Mike👍 it did help with the long rod and catching bass on it was great fun🎣

[@allenbrown8158]

nice1 Greg, I enjoyed that something a bit different for a change, I love a bit of float fishing. and like you I haven't used my fly gear for about 2 years.

[@gsp]

Thanks Allen👍👍🎣 it's always good to mix it up and nice to catch fish using different techniques

[@baggers-]

Absolutely agree Greg that site was perfect for the float and yes a line pouch one of my favourite salt fishing if macky on a fly forget trout they really pull the wire

[@gsp]

I love catching anything on the fly kev, it's, always, good fun. I want to get into something bigger on the iso rod and get a full bend in it.

[@baggers-]

@@gsp good luck with the ISO I have had a couple of wet noodles but not 17foot long lol I will take some photos for you tomorrow of my collection

[@carldawson832]

Hi greg, cheers for the watch . Pleased you caught some bass. I don't float fish as a rule usualy but looks great fun and like you said just mixing it up a little. Look forward to your next session. All the best from Grimsby.

[@gsp]

You should definitely try float fishing Carl. Sometimes the catch rate is vastly improved under a float👍 great fun tho

Love it top job hope your weekend went well 👍 👍

Cheers fella 👍👍🎣🎣

[@GixxerWayne]

Few nice bass this session Greg , well done , nothing better than catching fish on bait you've foraged yourself . I saw the vid in the rock pool, plenty of prawns zippin about ,Great vid 👍🎣

[@gsp]

Cheers Wayne👍. It does make the catch that little bit better when you've put the effort in to get your own bait. I agree👍🎣

[@WilliamFord-j6w]

It's a good spot the Warren I'm a Folkestone lad always fishes well maybe I'll see you down there one day 👍

[@gsp]

Bruvva I loved it 👍

Cheers darren👍

[@Angrypostman1977]

I always use prawn on a 1 up 1 down rig worm on the top and prawn on the bottom works well but I can see the float fished prawn would be effective I see lots of big bass on Brighton marina coming to float fished prawn

[@gsp]

I must head down there as I really want a big bass on my iso float rod🎣🎣

[@DansonSeaRigs]

Looks great fun that Greg! I saw you recently at the Kent show. The inner child in me wanted to name check you but I let you get on with your day! Great vid! cheers 🎣

[@gsp]

Cheers benzuk👍👍 you should of come a said hello. That was a bloody hot day there😎

Cracking video Greg

Cheers William 👍🎣

[@saltyhooksfishinguk]

Well done mate, great vid. 👍

[@gusholliday8198]

Great Video, well produced, Thank you! Might seem a bit of a stupid question for most but how, when & where do you actually catch shrimps to use for your fishing? Thanks.

[@gsp]

Well, i do it the hard and long winded way because I enjoy it. I go to the rockpools and net them out individually but you could just buy a prawn trap/net and drop it down in some deepish water near some structure and get some prawns

[@gusholliday8198]

@GSPseafishing Thanks Greg, I'll probably follow your example and give it a go!!

[@derekharding7841]

Never found circle hooks very effective for float fishing, reckon the hookup rate is pretty poor. The ISO rod looks fun though.

[@gsp]

The iso rod is alot of fun and if you get into a 2lb bass it will go off like a stink!

[@jackwhite5897]

What type of float do you use? Thanks

[@gsp]

For iso fishing there are specific iso floats which I use. I order online and the come from Japan or Australia. If I was just wanting a good float for sea fishing I use these www.decathlon.co.uk/p/sea-fishing-float-rhode-shape-1-10g/_/R-p-7399?mc=8302040

[@iftekharshafi9422]

Nice video Greg How snaggy is folkestone Warren please any tips plz ?

[@gsp]

It depends, there are snaggy areas and there are clean areas. I don't know all of them but you can fish comfortably off the concrete apron as you get down there and then it's hit and miss. We'll worth fishing tho👍

[@rosswalker3284]

You need to get a pipe bud bit o fly fishin reminds me of jack hargreaves if you remember him 🤣

[@gsp]

Lol, nothing wrong with fly fishing. Its, a great way to cat h fish

[@gusholliday8198]

Wow! Ross, you must be as old as me late 50's Out of town!! Remember it well!!

[@roybrown7898]

Have you tried creeping a mackerel fillet . Just don't turn your back on your rod

[@gsp]

No but I will try that, sounds like a good method

[@geoff6854]

did you catch any raw sewage floating around?

[@gsp]

Lol, the water looked alright but its all the bacteria that's the worrying thing

[@geoff6854]

@@gsp ok thats good - crazy that in this day and age where we worry about every little thing we can allow sewage to be dumped !

[@TopHobbies1]
