Float Fishing & Lure Fishing From the Rocks

[@reiverone]

Epic death defying, rain dodging, breathtaking 8 hour stint, but you never gave up and eventually rewarded with a fish. As always, a great watch.

[@SlippyLimpets]

Pretty much summed up this video with yourncomment. Thanks again

[@TR4zest]

The effort you put in with the left-behind camera as you walk on, the drone shots and editing - what a treat. Thanks. Fishlocker is terrific. John brings so much knowledge of marine life, his pot fishing, boat fishing, shore fishing, foraging on the shore and with a snorkel, catch-and-cook etc. I really enjoy your channel, too. Just keep doing what you enjoy.

[@MrMarko4]

Probably makes the walk to the mark 4 times longer 😀

[@SlippyLimpets]

It's my pleasure, I enjoy the filming almost as much as the fishing so it doesn't seem like too much effort 🙂. You're right about the Locker John's knowledge is 2nd to none on youtube

[@SlippyLimpets]

😂 you're right there mate

[@TheFishLocker]

Thank you very much mate. That northern twang ain’t fooling noone. You’re a big softy at heart aren’t ya. 😛 Exactly right about the “Torpedo-ing” fresh fish back. If they’re played out they need a “carp release” but fresh fit fish like a head first release. 👌🏻👍🏻🎣

Anyone tried a device to take barametric blown fish back to depth, i know they use them in Australia

Brilliant video mate, totally with you on torpedoing the fish, definitely the best way to get them back healthy. Your commentary and how you put the videos together are superb, so much so you answer all my questions as I’m watching. I hear what you are saying about Fishlocker, much deserved success, but on the whole, yours are still the best on KZbin, closely followed by the Gambling Angler, but here’s to all of you who share their experiences, thank you ladies and gents 👍🏻

Class video as always, im deffo going to be trying some lighter fishing this summer off the rocks along the northumberland coast, love the winter cod fishing but normally concentrate on boat or west coast during summer, had a 5lb cod off cambois last summer on the light gear along with loads of smaller cod/pollock/coleys, over 80 fish between 2 of us! Just busy learning some tips from your vids so thanks for putting in the graft to make them, top you tube angler in my book🎣🎣🎣

[@onemorecast5150]

You really do like the inaccessible and dangerous places to fish, but fair play for sticking it out and well done on the cod. Stay safe and tight lines Mike.

[@SlippyLimpets]

My theory is, the harder the mark is to get to then the less pressure it's probably had and hopefully more fish to catch! Tight lines!

The path & the grass down to the mark is worn so i would say that area is fished regularly, then you find the abseiling anchor.

[@damianowens5066]

That was one well earned fish mate! The torpedo thing with the fish we do it in Norway it actually helps the fish get down a bit and under the first few feet of water and then the water pressure from above allows them to de-gas a bit and get down were they can de-gas properly, great video mate keep them coming! 😉🎣👍

[@SlippyLimpets]

Ah that makes sense, I didn't think about it helping de-gas the fish as well. Good knowledge!!👍🎣

Brilliant video! Completely shows the reality of sea fishing, sometimes it doesn’t work out the way you hope. I fish in a similar way, on my own and scrambling down and over slippery rocks. I’ve recently bought some Simms wading boots with what they call hard bite cleats, they are expensive but so good. Really like the content and also the fish locker 👍🎣

Thanks William, glad you like the content. I'm goin to get some of those screw cleats and give them a go but I think wading boots will be purchased if they the screw ins don't work out. Tight lines!👍🎣

[@SlippyLimpets]

Thanks mate, as always, thanks for watching and tight lines👍🎣

[@Lilith-Rose]

I've noticed the same with pike off the bank actually, they seem to recover a lot faster if you give them a good headfirst shove. Not quite a torpedo but get their nose to the water and give them a bit of a shove and they kick off right away whereas if you just gently lower them in they take a lot longer to catch their breath and move off. No sport angler wants to have a fish go belly up after releasing

[@SlippyLimpets]

yeah that a belly up fish is worst case scenario! Not seen too many pike angelrs doing it but will remember that if i ever go pike fishing

[@Lilith-Rose]

@@SlippyLimpets it's definitely a less enthusiastic torpedo but it beats trying to push and pull a lethargic fish to get water moving through the gills, especially when it's a toothy critter

[@kriscuthbert9671]

Yeah you're mental mate climbing down there! Have swapped the razor claw trebbles for circle hook singles last year and well impressed with the hook ups, loved the vid and the location ya lucky bugga ( jealous) still nice fish and tight lines stay safe 👍🎣🎣

It does my head in when the weather clearly hasn’t read the forecast 😂 Can only agree about how dangerous the cliff face or rocks can be when even just slightly damp. Many a time I’ve been fishing and a small shower has made the journey back to the car treacherous.

[@SlippyLimpets]

Yeah mate it's the same mark. Shame the fishing wasn't as good as that day but at least I found an easier way down! Hopefully next time the fishing will be as good as it was back then.

[@DavidTYork]

Incredible perseverance - rewarded with a brilliant little codling - I would love to catch one on a lure. The weeks of unsettled weather have totally buggered up the spring fishing down here on the Holderness. The only relief has come from persistent doggies on the odd calm day.

[@SlippyLimpets]

Same up here, I read it has been the coldest April in 100 years and it shows with the late start to the fishing. I'd have thought a lure caught codling would have been pretty easy to get down your way?

[@DavidTYork]

@@SlippyLimpets The beaches are shallow and the water is like hot chocolate with the wash off the clay cliffs - that's what makes the fishing so good day or night, for bait. There are some rock marks further North, not tried them yet. Off to Skye in June 😃😃😃😃

[@SlippyLimpets]

Does it clear up for you in dry periods?

[@DavidTYork]

@@SlippyLimpets in the two years I have been fishing it, I have only seen the sea clear (like you get at Eyemouth) once. There is so much clay slurry in the water, anything bigger than the smallest tides keep the colour stirred up. In the winter the water is always coloured with run-off. In the summer it varies from dirty to thick colour depending in sea movement. Look at the Holderness on Google earth, the sea is brown. Which (usually) leads to great fishing. Atlhough the summer species - thornbacks and smoothhounds like the water flat calm - which we have not seen yet this spring. :-(

[@johnrourke3372]

Nice! Can i ask a question as just starting out.... How do you work out the depth if wanting to fish near the bottom with the float setup? thanks, John

[@SlippyLimpets]

There's a couple of options, but I like to get the float rigged up but don't tie your hook on, and then I keep casting to the area I'd like to fish, each cast i move the stop knot further and repeat until the float lays flat on the water. This indicatesthat the lead is on the sea bed. Once there, I give two winds of the reel and set the knot to that position. Tie the hook on, bait up and away you go.

[@JagdgeschwaderX]

It's not been great here on Anglesey although I've mainly been lure and float fishing. I believe there are rays and hounds about.

We can't be very far off though so we've got to keep trying and it should kick off properly soon. 🎣🎣🎣🎣

You should do a video on Slipper limpets that way people can’t miss your channel! Yea been a float twice, once during the endless fog but the sea was pretty coloured and it was bloody cold. Sea temperatures were barely above 9c. Second trip the weekend just gone in absolutely glorious weather, warmer seas, good viz but poor tides. A good number of small cod but not much baitfish knocking about. It still feels a month behind. Maybe bigger tides to push the bait in is needed? No bass trips yet but hopefully a night sesh soon. Having a drone makes scouting marks much, much easier lol Cheers

great video thank you! Out of interest, how do you set yr float depth if going fairly deep? Laggy band?

[@SlippyLimpets]

Good question! I use sometimes use a laccy band but prefer to use some Power Gum and tie a stopper knot. The Power Gum knot is much smaller and flies through the eyes on the rod without catching too much, unlike the elastic band. Never comes off either

Thats like one of my trips 😁 the 1st mark you went to is like one I have in dorset , its dangerous and you question yourself why am I doing this but it's like a magnet . Personally I fish with barbs because if I've put the effort in I'm having it ! Like you been fishing for years I know how to unhook a fish and release it ! You mentioned John at the fishlocker watched loads of his videos very informative I like your vids too 😁 if I may put my 2 penneth in , ignore negative comments continue being yourself do what you do , your way ....its worth watching ! ..tight lines

[@SlippyLimpets]

I normally fish singles and leave the barbs in place but taking them off those trebles just makes it easier to unhook fish. Thanks for the kind words, really appreciate it! Tight lines!!
