[@onthedropfishing]

Hi Steve mate, I’m glad you enjoyed it. A dark rainy summers day with beautiful cod and of course the beautiful dolphins. I love the dolphins! 👍🎣

[@peterchapman7352]

Brilliant video Chris, your rod certainly locked over with that lump of a cod🎣👍

[@onthedropfishing]

Thanks Peter mate, drizzly, rainy, wonderful day. 👍🎣

[@grahamcamm2547]

That dolphin display would be more exciting than catching for me 😊

[@onthedropfishing]

I love the dolphins. I’ve had a few close encounters over the years and it never gets old 👍🎣

[@ibana8449]

Excellent viewing. I boat fish the Northumberland coastline but haven't ever tried the chebs out. Often just fish a light spinning rod and sidewinder/fiiishcrazy type Sandeel. Will give them a go !

[@onthedropfishing]

Thanks very much I’m glad you enjoyed it. The chebs come in handy. You can use them with almost any soft plastic. Tight lines mate 👍🎣

[@ryanferris7841]

That’s a clunker of a cod!! Don’t see many over 2 pound these days

[@onthedropfishing]

It was a lovely day out Ryan, the dolphins were the icing on the cake 👍🎣

[@adztaylor2277]

Nice session Chris...some super Cod, and a treat spending some time on the water with the Dolphins. Enjoyed bud. All the best and TL's.

[@onthedropfishing]

Cheers mate, it was a cracking day despite the weather. I love the dolphins 👍🎣

[@peterridley9023]

Hi Chris yet another great video won't be long before I will have my set up so I'll be out there mate

[@onthedropfishing]

I’m glad you enjoyed it Peter, have a great time when you get your kayak. Stay safe mate 👍🎣

[@archstanton6310]

Great session, and amazing pod 🎣🐬

[@onthedropfishing]

Cheers mate, it was a lush day 👍🎣

[@KevRkev]

Well, that was an incredible video to watch. Those codling were very lovely and lively too. Really do like the way you appreciate and respect the fish you catch..even if they do poo on you! But to have dolphins around you...wow! Still waiting for the seas and wind to die down here but your videos are keeping us going. Many thanks, Kev

[@onthedropfishing]

I’m glad you enjoyed it Kevin, it was a cracking day. You don’t really get a sense of the true colours of the fish on camera, some of them were a real deep orange red. Of course the the dolphins are always the icing on the cake when they show up. I love them! 👍🎣

[@reiverone]

What a lovely stamp of fish Chris and like you say, beautifully marked. You captured those dolphins with a nice steady hand, such majestic creatures. Well done mate.

[@onthedropfishing]

Thanks mate, I love the dolphins. Always happy to see them and yeah some of the cod were beautiful, even more so in the flesh 👍🎣

[@deaks4570]

Was using the chebs a lot last year and now have a firm place in my sea kayak gear. Seem to snag up a lot less. Looked like you had a lot of fun mate. Well done you! First time I saw the dolphins up close I just stopped and watched. Felt like a bit of a privilege to be there really

[@onthedropfishing]

I love the dolphins, always makes my day when they put in an appearance 👍🎣

[@James96.]

Great video mate, where abouts in the UK are you? Based in Jersey Channel Islands and kayak fish a lot

[@LolsFishingAdventures]

He is at Beadnell, Northumberland Coast.

[@onthedropfishing]

Glad you enjoyed it James, I’m in the North East of England mate but travel all over in the van to fish 👍🎣

[@redclover619]

Would you ever buy a SIB and go fishing off that? I'm looking at one from Boatworld.

[@onthedropfishing]

I’ve thought about it. Never say never! 👍🎣

[@wingmasterjimmy6724]

Hows the mackerel doing now?it was poor last time I was up.

[@onthedropfishing]

They’re around but I’m not really gonna pick any up on the weedless plastics so I’m not sure on numbers. A few pals have had a few but not that many just yet 👍🎣

[@wingmasterjimmy6724]

@@onthedropfishing Cheers, might want to try fly fishing for them ,I do off my boat it's brilliant fun!👍

[@lw40404040]

Hi can you share your rod, reel and line setup please and thanks 😀

[@onthedropfishing]

Hi mate, Dam SW Spin 7’4 rod at 40g, penn Spinfisher VI 3500 plus Spiderwire stealth smooth braid 0.13mm 👍🎣

[@lw40404040]

@@onthedropfishing Thanks 🙏

[@eclipsearchery9387]

Another great video :) Got to love the dolphins! What weight do you think that biggest one was? I'm from the North East as well and have just got a new kayak. Where would you recommend to try? Somewhere with a nice easy launch site! Thanks for any help in advance.

[@onthedropfishing]

I don’t know, it’s a dangerous game estimating weights on the internet 🤣. Both the bigger fish were north of 6lb. The darker one actually looked the biggest in the flesh. Beadnell is a super easy launch but maybe don’t go on a big tide your first few times as the current of the point can be quite strong 👍🎣

[@patrickpatrick-u8f]

Hi Chris can I ask when your out on your galaxy sturgeon FX how many plugs go you take out ?do you take every plug out or leave a few in Thanks Colin

[@onthedropfishing]

All plugs out in the sea is standard practice Colin 👍🎣

[@44danno]

Hi Chris. Newby here, Any chance of an equipment list. Dry suit, boots. Rod reel. Fishfinder. Ps how long will the battery last in the motor. Hope you don’t mind me asking Regards Karl

[@onthedropfishing]

Hi Karl mate, full set up list is in the description. The only thing that might not be in there is the Typhoon ps330 Extreme Drysuit and the Palm Gradient Kayak Boots. I use an Ultramax 100ah LiFePO4 battery which lasts me two or three trips between charges. Welcome to the sport! 👍🎣

[@robspence-s7z]

what rod you using notice more and more using lighter set up i always used a 20lb uglystick boat

[@onthedropfishing]

Hi mate it’s a 7’4 inch 40g Dam SW spin rod in this vid- I think that would translate to about 10/12lb class. I use 0.13mm braid and I think that’s key for me with the lighter lures 👍🎣

[@FishingWithJay04]

Hi Chris What Motor do you run on your Kayak please ? Great Video mate

[@onthedropfishing]

It’s the slot in motor from Galaxy, specifically made for the Sturgeon. It’s 24lb thrust and it’s been great. 👍🎣

[@UELOFFICIAL9]

Chris, I bought some of the lures you suggested, so do you just bounce the lure off the bottom (lift) and then repeat? I’m new to this type of fishing and felt I had lots of slack and wasn’t sure if t oh reeled in whilst jigging?

[@onthedropfishing]

Hi mate, let your lure hit the bottom, take up any slack then lift it and wind one turn. Then start jigging. Every minute or so let line out until you hit bottom again then repeat as above. If you’re fishing for pollack you can hit bottom. Wind up slowly six or seven turns then let it back to the bottom again. It is essential that you use light braid for this kind of fishing otherwise your lure will kite out in the tide and you feel nothing. The downward part of the jig shouldn’t be too fast and wait until you feel the weight of the lure before the upward stroke. I’m gonna say light braid again because it’s really that important! Hope that helps mate 👍🎣

[@bearbuchanan8341]

this is MrBear from fl. nice trip good fish ? do you go out by your self or do you have others of camara, wish i could go with ya ,i would ha ve to winn big moneys to do so lollol. stay safe .

[@onthedropfishing]

Hi mate, it was a cracking day. I was on my own this time but there are nearly always other boats and kayak anglers around at Beadnell. 👍🎣

[@hairyscone]

hey i just bought a SIB and looking to get out over some rough ground for cod. what kinda of depths should i be looking for? I live up near buckie. you ever fished up there? apparently alot of cod not far offshore. need some tips on finding them!

[@onthedropfishing]

Hi mate, happy new sib! It varies from venue to venue really but between 10 and 20 metres is a good rule of thumb. I haven’t been up as far as Buckie yet but it’s definitely on my list! Tight lines mate 👍🎣

[@hairyscone]

@@onthedropfishing perfect thats all i needed. will let you know how I get on. give me a shout if your ever up I will join you on the SIB ha. alot of ground is sand up here should i avoid the sand? only seem to get flatties

[@NorthernLoki]

aye aye mate ... been awhile since iv seen ya out ... i see u have a new kayak ... is it electric ? looks awesome :D im thinking about getting another kayak maybe a double so i can get my son out with me :) tight lines buddy

[@onthedropfishing]

Hi mate, I must’ve dropped off your algorithm! I’ve uploaded every week for months! Only one way to fix that….subscribe! 🤣🤣. This is my Sturgeon I’ve had it for 2 n bit years. I’ve been using the motor since September last year and I think it’s great! Galaxy do a two person flipper drive I think, Don’t forget the channel discount code OTD5. Tight lines mate 👍🎣

[@riekszevering1600]

just subscribed, love your way of fishing and your catch and release. One little point though: is there any reason you don't fish barbless? These fish don't jump so you would hardly lose any. And if you occasionally do, who cares, just catch another...?

[@onthedropfishing]

I often crush the barbs but it’s nearly impossible to get true barbless wide off sets on 6/0 for a weedless set up. Quality ones anyway. I do fish barbless for all of my fly fishing though. Thanks for the sub mate it’s much appreciated 👍🎣
