Thanks Chris! I hope this year is as productive and last year for them. They are one of my favourites

Love sole fishing. Best I've had was 1 3/4 lb. Was massive and so strong. I have also kept 2 alive in the bath once and returned the next day - in fresh water. Used to catch loads years ago.

[@paulkeenan2249]

Hi Phil great vids, do you work WPD

[@BanditFishingUK]

Yes Mate. Thanks for watching!

[@thomaswilliams1295]

Nice Phil 👌 got to ask, what's that glove about? 😆

[@BanditFishingUK]

Haha! It was only a matter of time. I’ve got sensitive skin on my left hand and the worm juice and fish plays havoc with it!

[@Saifounify]

nice video mate do you have any picture of the using rig please

[@BanditFishingUK]

If you check out our first sole fishing video I explain the rig at the start of that. Solo Bandit - Sole fishing in the Bristol Channel is the title of that video. Thanks for watching!

[@Saifounify]

thanks for replay buddy cheers

[@awesomethailand8977]

Nice fish mate, I noticed your not using any beads

[@BanditFishingUK]

We don’t use beads/bling for the sole but do for most other flatfish. It has worked up to now but there are no rules in fishing so use what works for you. Thanks for watching!

[@WandoMcGilloway]

Cracking sole. Second was like a cricket Bat

[@BanditFishingUK]

Thanks for watching. Can’t wait until they come back in a few months. One of my favourite fish to target and fantastic eating

[@WandoMcGilloway]

@@BanditFishingUK got little mud bay up in North Wales were I no they are but problem is it's full of plaice and flounder 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@Saifounify]

nice video mate do you have any picture of the using rig please

[@awesomethailand8977]

Is mud worm any good for targeting Sole, or would you say Ragworm is better

[@BanditFishingUK]

We use king ragworm and haven’t changed because it works very well and can be cast a good distance when required. It’s what most people use around the upper channel. Mudworm/maddies are present in the channel so should work fine also

[@wayneparry2157]

Where’s this filmed butt?
