Kayak Fishing for Cod with Light Tackle & Lures

[@ericcaira7338]

My first time Kayaking and this Kayak held strong. kzbin.infoUgkx4k5UrhC3v_Y4hIEaXLGvHcN5a5aBmZNB The water got pretty rough as a speed boat zipped by me, and the Kayak withstood it (I expected to be capsized). The Ores are very easy to put together, the pump worked beautifully. the seats are a bit hard to sit in after a while (I recommend sitting on the floor). after reading the reviews I was very scared it'd get a hole in it, the material is very strong and durable. The Air valve may need a small Phillips head screwdriver to adjust, other than that, it's well worth the money!(update)I've gone Kayaking in 3 Lakes and 2 rivers totaling about 40 miles. the kayak had two holes and they patched easily and no other problems can't wait for kayaking season this year!

[@SlippyLimpets]

Glad you like it!

[@markhodgson1251]

Perfect day for the kayak, we've had some crackin weather, not a bad little session, great video again and i'll see you in the next one Nathan 👍🎣

[@SlippyLimpets]

Yeah, we've been really lucky with the weather. Thanks Mark, glad you liked it.👍🎣

[@OfficialJBH]

Really enjoy your videos mate. Recently just got back into sea fishing, spinning/lure fishing in particular along the coast from South Shields to Roker in search for Pollack & Bass. Would love to do some of the marks you do.

[@SlippyLimpets]

Seen some nice fish come in along that stretch of coastline, bass seem to be closer to SS. Glad you like the vids mate, and hope you get amongst them

[@OfficialJBH]

@@SlippyLimpets I’m struggling to get into any fish at the minute, it’s only been a couple of weeks, I’ve tried spinning with the razor claws, I’ve tried the Texas rig with white paddle tails. I’ve mostly been a carp angler, so in terms of type of line/strength I should be using for spinning I’m not too sure on, same with best surface lures for bass in that area. Any advice would be great.

[@GregPodster133]

I can't remember seeing the sea that flat for a long time. Thanks for the video Nathan.🎣

[@SlippyLimpets]

Me neither, a welcome rarity!

[@kevingrieve7846]

Class that, nice day to be out on the kayak and a few fish to top it off tight lines

Thanks Kev, conditions don't get much better than this

Thanks LV. Hope you've been getting amongst them.

What a day. :) I do love a kayak video but I am bias. Great fishing again 🎉

You're in luck, got another couple to come in the next few weeks

It was glorious, shame we don't get conditions like that all that often. Got to make the mostt of them when they do. Tight lines Ian👍🎣🙌

[@adztaylor2277]

Nice weather, like a millpond, in the yak, and fish on. What more could you want. Sure gives the arms a good workout against wind and tide. Nice one Nath and all the best.

[@SlippyLimpets]

Definitely Adz, my triceps were feeling it a bit the next day. Tight lines mate👍🎣

[@motorsnutts6594]

Nice session on the yak bud, looked stunning mate, and hooked up on some fish, appreciate your efforts Nathan 🎣

[@SlippyLimpets]

Cheers mate, really enjoyed it and thanks for the comment

[@davetevens5080]

Perfect conditions for it Nathan. A few fish too couldn’t ask for more 😊

[@SlippyLimpets]

It was ideal. If I was being picky then a slightly smaller tide would have been preferable.

[@Oli.Brown.]

Lovely evening. Seems the fish haven’t quite rocked up yet so to catch any, you did well. Cheers

[@SlippyLimpets]

There seems to be plenty of small stuff around, just nothing of any size. Thanks again, Oli.

[@allythescot]

Great weather and great video

[@SlippyLimpets]

Cheers Ally👍🎣

[@reiverone]

What a beautiful evening afloat and a few fish as well, love it when it's like that. Enjoyed that Nathan. Cheers, Arthur.

[@sloth4666]

Cracking video 👏🏼👏🏼What a time to be afloat!!

[@SlippyLimpets]

Yep, it was, we were really lucky with the weather. Glad you liked the vi🙌🙌👍🎣

[@JW-wp1qt]

It ain’t fair Nathan, we’ve had weeks of northeasterlies battering the Kent coast giving little if any chance to chuck a lure, looks like you’re fishing on glass!

[@SlippyLimpets]

Seems like a bit of a swap around. Matt's videos give the impression that the sun is always shining down south 😉

[@JW-wp1qt]

@@SlippyLimpets Matts just a bit further around on the English Channel, makes a big difference, either that or he’s using photoshop 😉

[@davemiddlehurst188]

Love your videos mate really good keep it up 😮

[@unearthed-detecting-tv]

Lovely evening for it!

[@davidoldboy5425]

Not often you see it that calm is it? try for flatfish off the beach in the kayak when there's no surf, not often you get the chance?

[@SlippyLimpets]

Nah, we were really luck with that day. I'll give that a go, should be a good challenge. Tight lines David👍🎣

[@Saltwatertheory]

Great fishing 🤙🤙

[@SlippyLimpets]

Thanks 👍

[@robbieallan6522]

I was wondering if you tried trolling off your kayak? Cover more ground but it's more of a hammering on your arms!

[@SlippyLimpets]

I have a done a little bit but mainly in fresh water, or if I'm in an area where I know there's bass. It can be quite good for pollack in shallower water.

[@robbieallan6522]

I tried it Last year on a friend's boat and I was a nice way to trott along the coast at about half a mile an hour trailing side winder lures and after a great session I ended with the biggest Pollack of the day at 6lb on the nose and considering I'd averaged nothing under 2lb but not much over 4lb I was well chuffed and my m8 hooked up at the same time with another just under 6lb so a great end to a great day .

[@DavidTYork]

Looks like an awesome session. Amazed you got out in the calm - there's been an annoying easterly down here for weeks. How far offshore are you, if you don't mine me asking?

[@SlippyLimpets]

I was lucky, we spotted a little gap and bunked off work early to make the most of it. The mark we fished was a 2.5 mile paddle from the launch but 1.5 miles offshore

[@DavidTYork]

@@SlippyLimpets I'll have to get my Bixpy on full charge! 😁

[@SlippyLimpets]

@@DavidTYork yep, bixpy would be a massive helping hand. I'm a little bit jealous

[@DavidTYork]

@@SlippyLimpets I will be using it for the first time in a couple of weeks up in Skye. I will let you know how it is. David

[@martinjustice]

Decent enough catch there Nathan. Milk pond for sure. Could only be bettered with some drone footage and a splash of Hans Zimmer.

[@SlippyLimpets]

Still haven't plucked up enough courage to launch the drone from the Yak just yet, maybe one day I will. Tight lines Martin👍🎣

[@EasterlyWind]

Is that an evobass Sabre with a jig head you were getting those cod on mate? How far off shore have you to paddle to get cod? Great vidoe

[@jackmaddison5934]

Hey Nathan, I was hoping you could recommend me a spinning rod, because long story short I used to own couple boats and have loads of 60g silver minnow lures that id like to make use of but cant seem to find a rod that has the capability to cast such a heavy lure and also need to get a spinning reel, would appreciate some advice on where I could potentionally find these to make use of the lures. Cheers pal and keep making awesome content. Tight lines!!

[@SlippyLimpets]

Hey Jack, 60g is classed as pretty heavy, so there's not a huge amount of SW specific rods in the Uk, but there are plenty of Pike rods. The Sonic Vader X is great value, as is the Shakespeare Ugly Stick Spin, both at around 40 quid. If you want to spend a bit more then the Abu Tormentor or Nomura Gomeiken are worth a look. Reel wise, I love using the Daiwa BG series. I've got a BG Mag Sealed and BG MQ but the standard BG is brilliant reel for the money and almost bombproof. Hope this helps. Tight lines 👍🎣

[@jackmaddison5934]

@@SlippyLimpets Thank you Nathan, this advice might get me back spin fishing on coast, and could cross paths and share some more tips. Tight lines!!!

[@mrsamsebastian]

Great video, I like before even watching the whole thing. How far out you go with the kayak and what depth to catch fish?

[@SlippyLimpets]

Thanks Sam, we were about 1.5 miles out and fishing in between 10 and 25m of water. Tight lines👍🎣

[@mrsamsebastian]

@@SlippyLimpets cheers m8

[@kungfupijon]

Another cracking video! I know you like your braid but what braking strain mono would you recommend for kayak fishing like you do?

[@SlippyLimpets]

I've not used mono from kayak, but if I did then I'd probably use similar to my braid somewhere between 15 and 20lb

[@kungfupijon]

Cheers mate can't wait to give it a go, tight lines 🤘

[@johnrickards1908]

Cracking video and cracking conditions. Thanks for the invite Nate'

[@SlippyLimpets]

Welcome any time, John 👍🎣

[@dazlee3257]

Nice one Nathan 👍 I'm itching to get my lure rod out again but another week of N. E winds to go, I wouldn't mind but we barely had anything onshore in winter and this one will be 3 weeks solid by the time it turns. What happens if you need a wee in a kayak?

[@SlippyLimpets]

Easy, Daz, just swing legs over the side, balance the yak on it's side and away you go. You do need a zip in your dry/wet suite though.

[@dazlee3257]

@@SlippyLimpets cheers, now I know, obviously checking for jet skis and wind direction before beginning procedure 😜👍

[@bertbasset8961]

Hey buddy how's it going jst a quick question,, where's the best area to park for access to the rocks behind the golf course at eyemouth

[@SlippyLimpets]

You can park anywhere along the road, most people just pull onto the grass near the footpaths across the golf course

@@SlippyLimpets nice one cheers

[@Kelp-Jungle]

Perfect conditions to just float around catching some sun 🌞 ( Nathan I've dropped you a couple of emails about that hoody it's been a couple of months. I know your a busy man now with all your sponsors 😉 so get in touch when you can mate )

[@davelester1985]

It sure would be cool to drop a camera over on a day like that.

[@SlippyLimpets]

Yeah, totally agree with that.

[@robbieallan6522]

Forgive me I'm terrible for asking questions/commenting on stuff as it happens in the video only to find out the answer to my question a few minutes later. My question is do they sell a 2 man kayak for fishing? I've got a boat on a custom built trailer but I need a driving licence to launch and a good engine, I'd rather trade it in for a couple of kayaks o r a 2 man kayak so my dad can join me. Lovey codling to start the session.

[@SlippyLimpets]

No worries, I don't cover this in the video...yes you can get tandem kayaks, most brands make them and Ocean Kayaks is a very good example. Hope this helps

[@johnnybreedt3653]

Love your content!!! How do you rate your fish finder?

[@SlippyLimpets]

Fish finder is excellent, especially because it's 10 years old and cost me 250 quid👍🎣

[@andrewsoper6449]

​@@SlippyLimpets got any budget recommendations for fish finder?iv been looking at a Garmin striker plus 4 fish finder.never used one before but need to know the ground I'm covering in my kayak so feel a bit out of my depth(pun intended) .cheers
