Sea Fishing For Summer Smoothound - Curse Of The Camera!

[@nige6327]

Love the videos you do. Learnt so much. Avid sea angler myself and also fish the Suffolk and Norfolk coast but being from Wales just fish the Autumn and Winter months for the Cod and Whiting. But obviously this coastline has much more to offer and I will definately be trying for the other available species that you have made me aware of. Cheers Chris and the crew. Be lucky and tightlines. All the best for the future.

[@FromTheWatersEdgeTV]

Hi Nige Phillips thanks for the kind comments and for taking the time to post them, glad you enjoyed the video too! I know what you mean, I used to be the same... it was all about the Autumn/Winter fishing for Codling etc but my fishing has completely changed, for me I know enjoy the Spring and Summer fishing more... thats when I get the time/chance to go! Thanks again, hope your fishing is going well. Be lucky and of course... tight lines! Cheers Chris

[@SaltWaterPassions]

Awesome video with some very nice hounds....well done guys!!

[@beowulf5982]

Excellent, your videos are always a pleasure to watch, best of luck bro.

[@FromTheWatersEdgeTV]

Ah thanks Beowulf 59 glad you enjoyed it and thanks for taking the time to comment :-)

[@suffolkngood]

I have just returned from a break in north Norfolk. Before we left, I watched all your vids and decided that I would try for for some 'smoothies'. Well guess what ? Thanks to your tips, I landed 3 ! Nothing to break any records but, I caught the target species ( never before caught any). Thanks very much for great advice and videos... Keep them coming...:)

[@FromTheWatersEdgeTV]

Hi diggert654spp thanks for the kind comments (they mean a lot) and for taking the time to post them, glad you are enjoying the video's. I'm so glad you managed a few fish, it makes me smile to think that some of the info in the video's might have helped a little too. Thanks again :-) Hope the fishing is going well and of course... tight lines! ;-) Cheers Chris

[@djpthurso]

Another good watch Chris and crew, nightmare start for the camera man

Another good video. Thanks for sharing.

[@FromTheWatersEdgeTV]

Thanks IOW Dave glad you enjoyed it and thanks for taking the time to comment. :-)

[@levondecarlo]

Hey mate...hello from the USA. Great videos as always. Question: what kind of line-to-line knot do you use when tying your main line to your shock leader? I've never heard you address this before. Thanks...

[@FromTheWatersEdgeTV]

Hi Levon de Carlo thanks for the kind comments, glad you enjoyed the video! :-) I know we haven't done any video's on knots... perhaps it's something we could look at though. I'm 'knot' (Haha... excuse the pun!) sure if the knot I use has a name, but if you google 'Shock Leader Knots' it should come up. You created a loop with the heaviest line and pass the weaker line through it, before wrapping it round 5-6 times and them forming a loop before passing it back through. Probably sounds a little complicated, but it's not too bad, just takes a bit of practice. :-)

[@samanthamarshman1824]

nice to see you back on the cam lol hoping to get out myself tight lines XD

[@FromTheWatersEdgeTV]

Haha, ahhh thanks Samantha Marshman glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for taking the time to comment :-) Hope if you do get out fishing you manage to get amongst a few! Tight lines, cheers Chris. :-)

[@FromTheWatersEdgeTV]

Thanks Chris Beer :-) If you do get out I hope you get amongst a few!! Tight lines, cheers Chris.

[@johnskiboy7831]

Could you help, what knot do you use to attach you're leader to your mainline?? Any help gratefully received

[@FromTheWatersEdgeTV]

***** I'm not sure if the knot I use has a name, but if you google 'Shock Leader Knots' it should come up. You created a loop with the heaviest line and pass the weaker line through it, before wrapping it round 5-6 times and them forming a loop before passing it back through. Probably sounds a little complicated, but it's not too bad, just takes a bit of practice. :-) If you do a google search you should get some results.

[@trickshoterrosy121]

What are your reels names and your rods and were do you get them from

[@chuckn7593]

Really enjoy your videos. Your calm mannor and good explanation of rigs/baits/tactics make for great watching. My bro and I are off for a long weekend at the beggining of May, trying various marks around Norfolk and Suffolk. After watching this vid we'll be hoping for a smoothy or two. From your experience fishing around here do you think they will be turning up around then? I know some forams suggest they will but nothing compares to genuine local knowledge! Cheers for all the great vids.

[@FromTheWatersEdgeTV]

Thanks for the kind comments mate, they're very much appreciated and mean alot. Nice to hear you've enjoyed the videos and found some of them useful! If you're coming up in May there's the chance of a Smoothound and Bass, they start to appear from around that sort of time. The only slight negative this year, is the 'beast from the east' has put everything a little bit behind!

[@chuckn7593]

Thanks Chris. Yeah the 'beast from the east' seems to have had an effect so will keep our fingers crossed! In the meantime I'll fish vicariously through you and your videos mate. Cheers

[@callumthwaite7299]

went fishing Saturday with mate and caught 13 dogfish between us and 2 cod one was 2 pound and the other was 4 pound plzz reply

Great video, your the best fishing show on KZbin.

[@FromTheWatersEdgeTV]

Thanks for the kind comments Vincent and for taking the time to post them! Glad you are enjoying the videos, should hopefully have lots more to come throughout the rest of the year, especially some beach fishing one's too! Cheers Chris.

[@taverhamdave]

Hi Chris. Thanks for another great upload. I'm thinking of heading up to Lincolnshire coast for a weekend bash... Could you recommend any marks? Trying to work out where this might be, thought Mablethorpe or Chapel Point. Your tips are always well presented and straightforward to follow. Look forward to maybe bumping into you one day for a proper chat! Tight lines.

[@FromTheWatersEdgeTV]

Hi +Dave Cousins no worries at all, glad you enjoyed the video and the style of them. To be completely honest I'm not very familiar with that area, I was relying on Justin and his contacts! I think it's a little too late for the Smoothound now though. I don't even know how there beaches fish in the winter either! If you do have a trip, good luck and of course... tight lines! P.S You never know we may meet up one day :-)

[@fishonlinecanada]

Thanks for sharing your adventure, sea or ocean fishing is always more exciting than freshwater fishing. How deep is the water there, about 300 feet from shore and how far can you cast with your rig? Tight lines and happy fishing.

[@FromTheWatersEdgeTV]

No worries +Fish OnLine glad you enjoyed it! That particular beach is very, very shallow - 6ft or less probably 200-300 yards out! I'm not a great caster and have never measured it, so wouldn't like to say. Tight lines and happy fishing to you too. :-)

[@chepachii]

Nice vid as always,at least a couple of starrys came your'e[and the cameras] way!

[@FromTheWatersEdgeTV]

Thanks James Calley glad you enjoyed it! Just a shame we didn't get a few more, but thats fishing I guess! :-)

[@chepachii]

No worries guys,we have excactly the same species where I live here in South Australia,we catch them using similar methods off the beaches,all of ours seem to be Starrys.Just for the record the australian record is 23.9 kilograms,just shy of 50lb,at that weight it would be around 6 foot long.20 to 30 lbers are quite common,unfortunately they are commercially targeted,as they probably are in many places throughout the world,we personally release all of ours,the larger specimens are always big breeding females and conservation is strongly encouraged by us recreational fisherman.Cheers.

[@garyshears1947]

Nice one Chris, another great vid! Always great to watch.

[@ConorsOutdoorActivities]

good vids guys why isn't it good to fish in a light east wind

[@FromTheWatersEdgeTV]

Thanks +Conor Cox glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for taking the time to comment! Where we live in Norfolk an Easterly wind is right off the sea, meaning its often very rough, so no good for species who prefer calmer waters - Smoothound and Rays etc Also as someone once said to me when I was a boy... 'when the winds in the east, the fish bite least!' Haha. Cheers Chris.

[@ConorsOutdoorActivities]

Do you catch fish in an east wind

[@ConorsOutdoorActivities]

Do you catch dabs and cod in an east wind and in October by the way

[@ConorsOutdoorActivities]

Please Reply if you can many thanks conor

[@FromTheWatersEdgeTV]

Hi +Conor Cox you can catch fish in any conditions, sometimes things look spot on and you don't catch and then other times things don't look as good and you do catch. Theres no guaranteed formula, certain venues and area's fish different to others too. You've got to be in it, to win it, as they say! :-)

[@pricey81]

What months can you catch smoothhound and awsome vids mate keep up the good work

[@FromTheWatersEdgeTV]

Thanks for the kind comments Nigel! Normally we get them around our coastline from the end of April through to around August time.

[@smoothhound27]

good vid but there is just one thing that I feel needs to be mentioned about the handling of sharks. They should never be lifted and held by the tail as it does a lot of damage to their abdoman. That 16lb smoothound shown more than likely died. There is a good guide to handling sharks here: www.sharktrust.org/en/shark_handling_guide although its aimed at boat fishing the same things apply to shore fishing as well

[@FromTheWatersEdgeTV]

Thanks for the info +simon brooks I know you should offer some support to them. Will click the link and have a read of the info. Thanks again and glad you enjoyed the video.

Great video bud, i would like to ask a question 😊 I havent fished in a whilr now and wanting to get back into it, im fishing at river tyne (newcastle) have you got any advice on whats best to use for whitey, flat also cod in the winter? i know rag and lug are good for cod but just a few tips please?

[@FromTheWatersEdgeTV]

Hi Daniel, thanks for the kind comments, glad you're enjoying the video's! I'm not familiar with the area, so perhaps look on some of the local forums and see if some of the anglers on there can help you out. Night fishing is often more productive and so is fishing on the larger 'spring' tides. Cheers Chris.

[@northern-fisherman1873]

From The Waters Edge TV, brilliant! thank you chris.. keep up the good work! hope to see some mew videos from the sea! all the best and good luck

Hello Mark! :-) TIGHTLINES.TV Glad you enjoyed it, was a shame it wasn't slightly more fish filled!!! The previous week would have made for an awesome video, but I guess thats just fishing!

Can Tope, dogfish bite?

[@FromTheWatersEdgeTV]

Tope have really sharp teeth - like most sharks. Dogfish only have sorta rubbing pads, not teeth as such. I still wouldn't been too keen on putting my finger in there mouth tho! Haha.

[@rogertipple2318]

The lesser and greater spotted dog fish have some pretty good teeth but they are only a few mm long at best buy a big doggy can do u some damage Smoothounds have crushing pads and a big one will nip but that's about it tbh Tope have a proper set of teeth but are pretty small tbh however I seen them do some serious damage to a hand and the guy nearly lost two fingers but the fish let him go

[@BA42197]

You should always let the man that catches the fish, release it. The fact you always unhook and release other people's fish just to get them on camera isn't right. Enjoyable videos though!

They're happy for me to do it Brendan! Glad you're enjoying the videos though. :-)

[@BA42197]

@@FromTheWatersEdgeTV That's fair enough man! I was always taught by an old boy from a young age to always let the man that catches, release :D sign of good luck, bad luck comes to the man that releases others catches. Whether it's true or not I'm not sure but have always followed it
