Lure Fishing for Cod With Soft Plastic Lures | Lure Fishing UK

I love searching for new rocks to lure fish from and stumbled accross a new mark. It's a low tide mark and I got there a little late and the swells were bigger than I would have liked, while lure fishing for cod, limiting my time on it. I still managed few fish and found that some new lures I hadn't tried, worked well.
Hope you all enjoy👍🎣

I used to love rock fishing but since having a heart attack last year, your videos are as close as I get to it now. Thanks for sharing and for brightening up my day.

[@MarkSmith-yk7ig]

Get out there.. Take your time...stimulation is good for your health, fresh fish is also. Dont give it up..!!!

[@matthewtanner9823]

@@MarkSmith-yk7ig Thanks. I spend my time coarse fishing now at places where I can park right by my swim. I don't put myself in danger but I get the exercise packing and unpacking the car. There's always shore fishing from a beach but I just love wrasse fishing.

My pleasure and glad I can take you along with me. Thanks for taking the time to comment👍🎣

I live inland and can't get to the coast to fish as looking after elderly parents, so really enjoy your videos 😊

Nice just to be out like you said...Fish are a bonus. That looks like a promising mark. Tight lines and stay safe.

Another excellent video really enjoyed you clambering around looking for a deep water trough, Excellent Codling in terrific condition and not dark, Burnt Umber, Alizarin Crimson, Kelpie looking - Love catching Codling, Pollack, Bass. Weather looked good in UK and isolated rocky coastline of Cornwall. You are one of my favourite FISH’O’S class act and have turned out some excellent footage 👍🏾🐟

[@SlippyLimpets]

I was quite surprised to catch that fresh run codling normally only get the Kelpies up that area. Just so you know, this was actually in South East scotland, but I often get "are you fishing in Cornwall?", looms very similar!. Thanks for the great comment and tight lines!👍🎣

You're spot on!

Eyup Nathan. The gods of fishing are pleased with your sacrificial offering and will send many fish for the next video. I sometimes get messages like that if I forget to wear my tinfoil hat. Love the casting edit btw. I'll sithi after, Dave.

My pleasure as always, Ray. Hope you've been getting out fishing.👍🎣

[@londonviking3801]

Greetings from Pembrokeshire. Always look forward to the Sunday SL video drop. Happy to report that there are indeed Bass in Wales - nice ones too! 😁👍🎣 Great tip about scouting out the ground with a metal before sacrificing precious lures. Have also been fishing new ground but had more success on top-water lures so stuck to those. (Patch ghost 100 and Momo ultima pink 100). Hard to find fishable ground here with many steep cliffs making access impossible. Tight Lines sir!

[@SlippyLimpets]

It's lush down there, went down for the Pembs Bass Comp last year and loved fishing the area. Hard access but the beaches fish really well after dark. I had a 62cm and my mate won with a 69cm from Freshwater East. Metals from the beach and albie snax for after dark! Hope you had a good trip!

[@londonviking3801]

@@SlippyLimpets Excellent trip mate - @WigwamHolidays spoilt us - beautiful place at Jameston. My biggest bass of 3 was a 46cm fattie which I got on the 5th cast at about 5:30am. Then a couple of schoolies after. Only fished one day as my hip was being uncooperative but Tenby is a fantastic town so made up for it. Mrs and the boy want to go back. Pembs is super stunning.

[@elkayakfish]

[@richardjohnson3463]

Another very watchable video, cheers Nathan

[@the30minutechef]

Great video ,Love the way you crawl around all the rocks to get to a mark I would probably just end up falling in! I did think the gulls would go for the drone though especially as there were nests there by the look of it. I love the knowledge you have about structures and everything, I'm learning a lot so thanks

[@SlippyLimpets]

Thanks Frank and glad you like the vids. The gulls didn't like my drone one bit, had to fly it high and fast so they'd leave it alone. Tight lines!

Nice cod and some fine weather there

[@SlippyLimpets]

It was a lovely day to be out. Thanks Chris👍🎣

[@peteburnett1108]

Another great vid, I find that oyster catchers are worst for attacking my drone. Was fishing Montrose area last week and found dead gannets on shoreline, didn’t find any fish! Glad to be back home catching again! Wish I was 20 years younger to explore those rock marks. Keep up the good work.

[@SlippyLimpets]

Yeah they definitely are. As soon as the drone goes up they're normally there attacking it in pairs. Thankfully there aren't too many around those rocky shorelines I fish. Shame about your experience at montrose, unfortunately I think we're going to be seeing more of that in the months to come. Tight lines👍🎣

Brilliant video mate and you found a crackin new mark, really appreciate the tips as well especially about rigging your metal with an assist hook to search out the new area. . Will defo be using that in the future. . Cheers. . Tight lines 🎣🎣

[@SlippyLimpets]

Those assist hooks really help the hook up ratio when fished on the drop as well. A little bit more snaggy than a single on the tail but worth it for the extra fish. Tight lines mate👍🎣

[@ianturner3033]

Always somewhere different, always something new. But still the same great quality. Shame you left those lures at 1st mark. You take us to places we would love to fish. For that, thanks for sharing. Stay safe.😷🙊

Trousers look decent mate so I clicked the link and ordered. Didn’t know if to go for the 28” waist or 30” so iv just went safe for a 30!

[@SlippyLimpets]

They're quality mate. I went for the 32 for a bit of growth room

[@stanwilson8089]

I usually fish the side of obstructions out of the main tidal flow.Fish stay out of the main flow behind rocks,and ambush fish that are passing by.

[@SlippyLimpets]

Me too, and even better if that's the side in the shade

[@sammyvh11]

I gave him a like for just being out there on those cliffs.

[@gooutgibbo9529]

When is the best time to target Cod, bass, pollock? Is it when the tide is out or at certain times of the day?

[@SlippyLimpets]

It really depends on the mark your fishing, one mark could fish well on the ebb while one 50m away could fish well on the flood. Best thing to do is spend a lot of time at one mark and learn when the fish are biting, then move on to the next and do the same. That way you'll build up a list of marks that fish in certain scenarios and can go fishing at the right place at the right time and catch some fish. Hope this helps👍🎣

[@grahamharper5393]

Have u got a new camera mate video quality seems more vibrant like hd 4k 👍💪 nice cod keep them vids coming tight lines

[@SteveMc63]

Another cracking video. Have you done any lure fishing closer to home, say no further than Newbiggin?

[@SlippyLimpets]

Cheers Steve. Done a bit around Sluice and Cambois. I keep meaning to try Newbiggin but always seem drive past it

[@martinshephard6317]

You might want to consider using a heavy bolt or a bunch of washers to do your feature finding, put the weight on a rotten bottom to avoid wasting your line. Thinking about it, even a pebble with a hole drilled in the top weighing an ounce or two would do the job then there’s nothing to rust in the sea.

[@SlippyLimpets]

It's a good idea, but reckon I wouldn't be able to stop thinking about the bites and fish I could be missing!

[@somersetreefer1168]

I'll stick with the sandy beaches! I'd be heartbroken to lose that many lures in the rocks in a session!

[@SlippyLimpets]

Fishing on the rocks can be a pretty tackle hungry experience, fishing with some heavier tackle than i use can limit loses though. Worth a shot!

[@davidrichardson6872]

Are you half mountain goat?? Love your style of lure fishing and would love to try something like those marks you fish. Unfortunately, I'm hindered by an infliction called vertigo.

What sunglasses are you wearing please? Assume they’re polarised?

[@PaulDanciu]

What size lure is the best for cod armed with jig (how many grams)

[@SlippyLimpets]

Really depends on how deep the water is and how windy it is. I tend to fish with between 10g and 21g with a 3.5 inch soft plastics. Hope this helps

[@PaulDanciu]

@@SlippyLimpets thx

[@nicolebalfour203]

I live local to Arbroath, I do cod fishing in winter but wondered if you could help me with cod fishing in summer, as in what sort of ground are you looking for? Kelp? Deep/ shallow marks, open marks or gully’s? I’ve tried marks that work in winter with metal lures but unfortunately not getting anywhere, thanks

[@SlippyLimpets]

From my experience the cod come to shallowe water in the winter, but they tend to be in deep water with a hard bottom and a load of structure or kelp in the summer. I look for a clearing between the structure/kelp and cast to that. A bit of crrent always helps. Most of the marks I fish are between 6 and 18 m. Hope this helps and tight lines

[@connorwilson8078]

When’s best time of year for pollock and cod now?

[@SlippyLimpets]

They're around for most of the year, I personally think the pollack are in better condition (heavier) in January and February, buy they're much easier to catch in the summer👍

[@Vancouver63]

Thank you for sharing this video, if you tell about location 📍?

I use approach shoes and trail running shoes, but if the rocks are wet then I've got a pair of old running shoes with studs screwed into the sole

[@Oli.Brown.]

Super as per usual! Shame about the gannet, sadly a victim of bird flu no doubt. A pathogen which can survive out of the body for around a month in near sub zero temperatures. It’s part of the reason it’s so virulent. Then you see on the news about dying shellfish around Teesbay area… Tough year for nature along the NE/Scottish coasts. Cheers
