How to catch flatfish, trout and salmon on light tackle from the shore

[@oldandfound1]

two Months later And I am watching the three year old episode again. When a relaxing end of day Billlyfishing is in que I save it. After the overload of KZbin has been wearing on me, politics, other wildness in the world, the sound of waves and laughter from Billyfishing is a welcome tonic. Expected the Japan beaches were much over fished by the time you arrived. I don't seem to have any new vids ques from the past so I just watch the old ones over. Had fun with one with your brother. My youngest brother turned 65 yesterday. 78 in Seattle.

[@Billyfishing_watch]

Hi bud, over in Seattle. Thank you so much, really glad you like the Videos. Much appreciated Brother, see you on the beach 😁👌

[@londonviking3801]

I am a massive fan of lure fishing and this video demonstrates that it can easily be combined with bait fishing if you are a little creative. You are a flippin genius Billy - and catching a "Falmon" on this experimental setup is super amazing. I am learning a lot from your videos and have placed orders for Mustad circle hooks to make BF hair rigs. Legend!

[@Billyfishing_watch]

Viking, you don't really need the hair for that rig, I fish them with out on tuff baits , like squid and mackerel belle, just put the bait on the outside of the bait clip. Follow the link if you need some visuals, thanks brother 👍😁

[@londonviking3801]

@@Billyfishing_watch Thank you - yes, the hair rigs will be used for bait fishing. I often cast a lure out (while bait fishing) around the top of the tide as the bass patrol the shoreline at that time.

Salmon from the beach omg 🎉 great way of fishing on the beach. Definitely going to try it. Love the laugh when ur on

[@Billyfishing_watch]

There has been much discussion about whether it was a trout or a salmon, but either way it doesn't matter, it's still a good way to fish. Thanks sister 👍😁

[@redtobertshateshandles]

I've got an 11ft Shimano Tiralejo 10-18 kg rated spinning rod. It was very expensive but it's super light and casts great. I don't bother with my overhead reels any more. Bought the 11ft because it was the last one in the shop but it turned out great.

[@Billyfishing_watch]

Nice Red, sounds like a great set up. Thanks Brother 😁👌

[@davefk1]

It's 100% seatrout Billy.... I fish nearly exclusively for them here in Denmark :-)

[@Billyfishing_watch]

Damn, thought I had a new species there, spoil sport 🤬😁, Thanks Dave, fish on Brother 👍😁

[@davefk1]

@@Billyfishing_watch if you're in Denmark again, give me a shout. a fellow Dub ;-)

[@ErikDeMann]

Found it. Thx, Billy. Home, sweet home. You should look up 'Spin 'N' Glow's as attractors, they will lift the bait a little off the bottom. They come in different sizes, colours, and rotate when retrieved. And instead of just a piece of lead, we use a 60-70 gram shiny metal bait with the treble hook removed, or a 'Flattie Spoon'. But same active fishing technique as here, so you're seeking them out, insted of just waiting for them to find the bait. Have a nice Sunday.

[@Billyfishing_watch]

Yes, I fish like that some times but not much sand on that beach mostly small stones for a 100, mts ,so a very long cast is needed, Thanks Brother 👍😁

[@ErikDeMann]

@@Billyfishing_watch Sounds like you found yourself an excellent spot for turbot there, mate. ;) If they are in that area, you won't need those long casts. They hunt right where the waves are breaking, early morning, late afternoon, where they can hide from the sandeels in the 'foggy', less transparent water.

[@drumcondraapache521]

Love coming home and catching one of your videos , Up the Dubs

Thanks Pat, an oldie but a goodie. Glad you liked it brother 😁👌

Thanks Red, fish on Buddy 👍😁👌

[@fatfish6839]

If your unsure if it's a salmon or a sea trout next time Billy... Try to pick the fish up by its tail..... You can't pick up a sea trout by the rist (tail) of the trout but you can with a salmon bro.... Great catch... We get them in my local estuary when fishing for bass 👌🎣 keep up the good work brother

[@Billyfishing_watch]

Thanks Brother, which do you think it is a salmon or sea trout?

[@fatfish6839]

@@Billyfishing_watch definitely a sea trout buddy

[@tomharries847]

Defo a salmon, It had a forked tail. Sea trout or sewin as known in wales have a rounded or straight outer edge to their tail. Well done Billy, another awesome video

[@Billyfishing_watch]

Hi Tom. I'm with you! But it seems the jury is split 🤣 glad you liked it brother, see you on the beach 😁👌

[@phillipb72]

Great video. Would never have thought of fishing this way.

[@Billyfishing_watch]

Thanks Philip, it's a great way to fish, alot more fun when surf casting. And you get some exercise to. Fish on Brother 👍😁

[@barlonmrando4921]

I found this channel yesterday, keep up the great content my man. when it comes to old gear if it aint broke dont fix it. in one of the videos i watched earlier today you mentioned being in roundstone thats galway i think i seen dogs bay in the distance and i have seen salmon washed up there in the rocks.

[@Billyfishing_watch]

Hi Barlon. Yes it's Galway, but it still in Connemara. My favorites part of Ireland, next time I hope to fish there more. Thanks Brother, fish on 👍😁

[@Getgrowingbuds]

Is there setting different to the flounder I'm Norway ? We catch them here in the states in Boston and they're delicious

[@Billyfishing_watch]

Hi Scott, you are so lucky, the Flounder in the US are not the same species. The Flounder you get are more like halibut, the ones we get, don't fight, and a very big one is 20 inches, and not good to eat, thanks Brother 👍😁

[@peteremil89]

Flounder is definitely a fish worth eating... cover it in wheat or rye flour and fry it on the pan with heaps of butter! I really enjoy your content mate, thanks! PS. It's mos def a sea trout

[@Billyfishing_watch]

Nice, thanks Brother 😁👌

[@keegy1965]

Great video Billy where's the beach.Easy way to tell the difference is you can hold salmon by the tail,trout will slip through your hand.

[@Billyfishing_watch]

Hi Kevin, the is in Denmark, thanks for the info, fish on Brother 👍😁

[@ofgodandman7337]

Billy...If you come to Alaska, I will take you to some spots!!! Love the videos!

Hi Tom, Alaska is a place I would love to visit, ling cod ,big halibut, are some of the fish I would love catch. Thanks brother 👍😁

[@ofgodandman7337]

@@Billyfishing_watch ...and salmon so big it will make that one you caught look like bait! HA!!! Just let me know when you are coming.

Billy, I've just been binge watching some of your earlier videos and I have to tell you; if I can't get out there myself, this is the next best thing. Your content is fecking awesome brother and, I'd love to meet you out on the beach one day😉

[@Billyfishing_watch]

Hi John, And thank you Brother. If you fish somewhere, where there's a chance of catching a cool fish. That might just happen, see you on the beach 👍😁

[@baitrunner5193]

Looks like a salon to me.definate fork in the tail.well done billy

[@Billyfishing_watch]

I think the jewelry is split on this one, Brother. I think it was a salmon too. Thanks, see you on the beach 😁👌

Salmon not salon 😋

[@Billyfishing_watch]

Do you mean the scales of the fish ?

[@native-american9049]

@@Billyfishing_watch He means Billy that it's been in fresh water n spawned then back in the sea to fatten up and fix itself. In fresh they don't eat and get bashed about heading up river etc. So a kelt is a spawned fish and mended means it's getting its health back / weight.
