[@davidriley7997]

Another cracking session. Well done.Nothing better than watching your videos and enjoying a coffee.

[@LRFandHRF]

Thanks. Well. There's maybe one thing better??? Catching them and enjoying a coffee

[@ch0cchip704]

Great video never been to Weymouth, I should really it's not that far away seeing that video the place looks beautiful and the fishing is a bonus

[@LRFandHRF]

Thank you 😊 glad you enjoyed it! It's nice this time of year and through winter for sure. Thanks for watching. Don't forget to sub. Plenty more to come

[@londonviking3801]

Yet another beautifully filmed session. Love the gilthead bream and the sand smelt - beautiful fishes. I've been on the local canals and have started on the perch on light gear. Nice to get out there and catch something again.

[@LRFandHRF]

Thank you 😊 The Gilthead is a special one isn't it. Good ti hear you're out and catching.

[@jamesrobertson9930]

Another quality video Dan, pleasure to watch mate 🙌

[@LRFandHRF]

Thank you very much 😊 enjoyed editing this one

[@scottjones9283]

Well done Dan! Really enjoy your content and the way you make it look so easy. Can’t wait to see the next 4 species!

[@LRFandHRF]

Thank you Scott. Means a lot. Like I said in the video. Trust the process. I spent last year trying to figure it out and soon realised the smaller you fish the more you catch. A tiny piece of gulp will out-fish a big section. Fish small. Trust the process.

[@mikemorton9419]

Congratulations on the Gilthead bream and 56 is some achievement

[@LRFandHRF]

Thanks Mike. Was worth the effort for sure. The 56 has just crept up over the year. I hadn't really targeted anything since April. But knowing Gilts were possible I'm now going to push to 60.

[@mikemorton9419]

Most definitely. Good luck

[@LRFandHRF]

Thank you. Watch this space

[@fishface1872]

Another great video dan, i reckon you'll manage 61 species this year but even if you don't 56 is an amazing achievement

[@LRFandHRF]

Cheers. Quite confident of hitting 60. Couldn't end on 61. That would mean pushing for 65 haha

[@tonykruger871]

Thanks for the info Dan , I at least have an idea where to go . Great video

[@LRFandHRF]

Ni worries. Plenty to be had at Weymouth. Just fish small and you be hauling them in all day long

[@alanevans4232]

Thanks Dan, great session, I was wondering if you had tried Newtons Cove not far from where you are, lots of lovely rock marks to play on, well worth a look. Not had a session like that since I lived there.

[@LRFandHRF]

You're welcome Alan. I've never fished it. I've only ever fished Swanage and Weymouth around that area. Also Chesil but won't mention that here haha

[@alanevans4232]

Newtons cove is only 2-300 yds from the harbour have a look on google maps@@LRFandHRF

[@LRFandHRF]

Ohhhhh. There..... I got halfway round and headed back on Tuesday. Had a Shanny from the rockpools under the Fort. Then had to head for the inner harbour

[@topfuelteddy]

Weymouth is some place , adore it .

[@LRFandHRF]

It's amazing! Love it there!

[@Baldieheidit]

Brilliant. Love this!

[@LRFandHRF]

Thanks. Me too.

[@karlstokes874]

Great video again Dan. Gutted i didnt bump into you as i fished the stone pier at 6pm onwards. But looks like you left just as i parked at the nothe fort 🙁

[@LRFandHRF]

Cheers Karl. I left around 7. Almost went back to the pier but could here home calling. Did you get much off the pier?

[@karlstokes874]

@@LRFandHRF i had a couple of squid; which is what i went for. It was VERY busy- as word soon gets around when they come in. Still very early for them as the water temp is still very warm

[@LRFandHRF]

Oh nice. Was told they were there. Glad I left when I did. Not a fan of shoulder to shoulder fishing haha

[@KeithFaulkner-w7t]

Another relaxing video with a great background town and harbour. Im actually traveling 4 hours to fish there next Mon and tues. Predicted strong wind Monday,and lesser tue but a few showers. Only done 2 sessions lrfing actually last week in Tenerife caught a Maderian rock fish apparently venemous and a cuckoo wrasse. Was 30 Deg and a struggle but loved it. Any tips to best use my time ie piers,inner harbour bit of spoon fishing off the beach. Any guidance would be appreciated!

[@LRFandHRF]

Glad you enjoyed it. I'll be honest. I've only fished Weymouth 4 tines so not the best person to ask really. The Black Bream are right of the end of stone pier and love a very slow sinking SMALL bait on a split shot. Other than that it's just fill ya boots in the harbour with 10 million black gobies. Enjoy. Let me know how it goes

[@KeithFaulkner-w7t]

Hi Dan Had a couple of days fishing at Weymouth. The harbour water was chocolate on the first day the flood sluice gates being open,and the tackle shop guys said people had been blanking. I

[@KeithFaulkner-w7t]

The next day clearer.fished the harbour ,piers and breakwater and Newton's cove.Mainly used a bb splitshot rig and gulp plus spoons and a

[@KeithFaulkner-w7t]

Crankbait. Caught 10 species ,approx 100 fish, amazing, wrasse,gobies,smelt, Pollock,pouting,a large flounder,shanny.Fantastic place thanks for your inspiring videos.Im well hooked

[@LRFandHRF]

Wow that's amazing. Well done. Be careful though. It's a slippery slope haha. A lot of the saltwater techniques transfer well into Freshwater too.

[@allalongthewatchtower_4851]

If you break off your leader do you keep re tying or could you just use a very small swivel? And would it be much of a difference if you did?

[@LRFandHRF]

I just tie the leader with an albreit knot. Takes seconds to re-tie. I personally keep the rig as simple as possible. Just a hook and weight.

[@allalongthewatchtower_4851]

And what is the braided main line you use called?

[@LRFandHRF]

I use Major Craft Dangan 6lb

[@allalongthewatchtower_4851]

I’ve looked at that braid, but have Diawa J braid x8 which is a thinner diameter, why do so many lrfers go with the dangram when it is a slightly larger diameter?

[@LRFandHRF]

It all snags and snaps the same. I remember buying some 50 quid braid when I started. Cast no better. Same amount of snap offs. But hurt a lot more snapping off expensive braid. The amount I fish, I'm happy replacing dangan as its not the most expensive. Personal preference. Each to their own though
