Always fancied Filey Brigg as a good lure fishing spot, and with the weather dead still for the week and clear water, I took my chance to give it a go!

Nice vid, reminds me of when I fished it only once ever 12 years back on hols. Amazing looking place, couldn't fail on lures. Bit more lively sea but not much more then a 3ft sea trout jumped in casting range after hrs of nothing. Same result as you after that moment of excitement. That green slippery death weed grows where fresh water outlets hit it, many times on my arse with tackle box emptied across the rocks as a kid ;-) thanks for posting!

Ayup Pal.Shame you blanked The brigg usualy throws something up,nice vid tho very 'down to earth' comentary :) . A wee safety tip for ya tho,,when accending or decending any ladders DO NOT hold the sides,if you lose your footing you will have no way of holding on , you will just slide down and rip your hands up ,,ALWAYS grab the rungs and you will be able to hold on in the event of any probs ..Take care buddy and tight lines.

I know you mean we’ll, unfortunately you are completely wrong as you never hold the rungs on a ladder because if it breaks in your hands, you’re going down. Watch Fred Dibnar climbing up those huge ladders and you’ll notice that he never ever holds the rungs! I was a heating engineer and I climbed up ladders, some very high onto high roofs to drop flue liners down chimneys and I was taught never to hold the rungs😉

I was always told to hold sides of wooden ladders because only 1 in 3 had a steel rid under them so if it snapped out only a 1 in 3 chance of a safety rod . Ps I still hate ladders walked back up the Brigg today .must keep telling myself don't look down.

Ha Ha, Yes Yes Yes! As I mentioned in another comment I am a climbing instructor. I've worked with military, in film, with SEN, one time dignitry; and even Royalty. What you did was; to experience, feel an understanding of risk (assess).... Accept and move on. Look back and recalibrate. Let it calm, take an alternate perspective. Challenge your previous acceptance... and try again. Self Talk is another pre-frontal cortex signal, it helps calm the reptilian 'Back Brain' from holding us in a Full Body Handcuff' (the wobbly knees etc), so well done on that. Respect mate. You did it. If ever you're near The Reach Climbing Wall, Woolwich... feel free to look me up. I'll set you up with a freebe, help you gain even more 'self confidence'.

So sad you did not catch, I know the Brig well and have seen cod caught in August on bait the part where all the lads were fishing at the end is the best spot and forms the edge of a very very deep hole. You can pretty much forget all your fancy lures there if your lure fishing there is only 1 lure you need the '' ABU Koster 28g in silver, has to be silver and has to be 28g. it is the perfect sprat immitation, the locals often combine it with a single teaser mackerel lure 6'' above the lure. combine and syncronise all this with the appearance of the sprat shoals the last 2 weeks of August and you will be in with the mackerel. float fishing there too on the edge of the rocks is good for coalie but again use a very deep sliding float system. you will also need to wade through shallow gullies there on the ebb so thigh waders are good or waterproof sandals and shorts

I've never really suffered badly from heights.. but then I got tinnitus.. and now I get vertical and I was recently walking on saltburn pier in nearly had to crawl off it. Salt lamp peers not even high but if you have suffered from tinnitus and vertigo then you know how distressing it can be. My point being, I know exactly how you felt walking down those ladders.. the only way you conquer your fear of heights is to just defeat it. It takes a lot of courage to do something your body is telling you not to do... Only just subscribe to the channel and I'm enjoy it.. I will be staying around. This is my normal KZbin but I also have a fishing KZbin that I've just started myself.. I won't plug it. I used to fish a lot when I was a teenager now I'm nearly 50 and just got back into lure and spinner fishing and I absolutely go mad for it but I have forgotten more than I ever knew about fishing.. yes, that is possible😂 fishing is relaxing it's why I do it even if I blank out on fishing.... I'm still out there with nature and that's all that matters. I do a lot of sea fishing and a lot of river fishing in Yorkshire North Yorkshire and the lake District . Keep up the good work and I am sure your channel will grow. I will be sticking around.

Reminds me of when I was 15 years old (55 years ago). A friend and myself took a rowing boat out from Bridlington to go jigging for mackerel. We caught so many the boat was sinking. Gave most away when we got back to the harbour as we had to get a train back to Hull with bags full of mackerel. I doubt you could catch mackerel in such numbers today.

Hi mate, the plastics looks spot on, you have a nice range of colours. Bright days bright colours, dull days dull colours. I know that sounds backwards but it’s true. Once you’ve casted let the lure hit the bottom and work it as close to the bottom as possible, snags are few and far between of that hook is nicked into the back of the lure. But I’d strongly recommend letting it hit the bottom first before starting to reel. All the best for next time mate. And well done on those ladders, I feel your pain, I’m the same 🤣

Hey Callum! Lures should work well this time of year. I'd stick to simple metals and work different speeds/depths. Should be some good pollock around at depth and mackerel in the mid waters. If there are birds diving could be worth trying a surface popper for bass. But it's heavily populated with birds around that area so top water stuff could attract their attention too much. As always though, stay safe!! It's a venue where the swell can change at any minute, so make sure you have note of your escape routes and your gear is on your back or to hand to grab and go if necessary. No fish is worth the risk.

@theawfulangler
@theawfulangler 2 жыл бұрын
There's a few ways to do it mate. Firstly, all my boxes have vent holes, to allow excess water to drain away. So after a session I'll rinse in fresh water and leave somewhere warm to dry. Some people wipe them dry after use, but if you're on a hot spot or swapping lures a lot that wastes time in my opinion. Some people keep used lures in a separate box until they're cleaned and dry, but that's extra stuff to carry around. Personally I don't think you will ever stop something corroding after you dunk them in salt water, so I always have fresh split rings and a mix of different sized trebles and if one looks a bit ropey I'll swap it out!

Looks like the famous Black Hole mate unless I'm mistaken. Problem with lure fishing is that the pollack and mackerel are either there or not. I always had a float rod on the go, as well as the lures, with mussels as bait for the wrasse. Had some big ones. 4 or 5lb. And little pollack. But never blanked....except with the lure rod or when I used mackerel strip. I was broken by something huge once. Maybe a conger.

For some reason I'm normally OK going up, it's down that I have the problem with 🤣 glad to know I wasn't the only one short of fish though! Its been pretty slow on there this year, seen some good reports this last week though

Well, seems that I am as good as you.... A box full of soft plastics that never catch anything LOL Think I would have been tempted to try a sandeel type lure as there were so many around that mark but then, well, I still would have blanked LOL

I've missed the odd rung and fallen off now and then, and so far never came off badly, so think that's helped with the confidence. 🤞🏼 it stays that way haha

@@theawfulangler I was in an amazing spot in Portugal. Just below where we were parked was a stunning rock mark. It look very "fishy"... No ladders, just some fairly wide crevaces to jump and a dodgy looking loose gravel path down. Yes, I looked at it a few times but the coward in me took over 🙂

Don't worry about that bud, you will be hard pushed to offend me 👍🏼 Is that the rule you go by then? I've caught bass in all conditions, not sure why I didn't think to try a top water lure. And tbh if you have seen some of the other vids, it doesn't take much light to force me in to a squint, so I've started wearing the sunnies a bit more often.

@@theawfulangler Yes sir, dusk and dawn are the best times for me in North Wales. The tide time doesn't seem to matter as much as the light. Surface lures is all I use these days even when the rock marks are choppy. I'm the same as you regarding the squint and have the bags to prove it 😂. The good thing about early morning fishing is that you're done and dusted before anyone appears.

I'm 100% with you on dusk and dawn! I do need to let go of the metals and work on using other stuff. I've got patchinkos etc but they always stay in the box as I default to the metals, they just cast better IMO. So if its too sunny for bass, what you fishing for, or do you just wait it out and fish later on?

@@theawfulangler Some nice high pressure weather coming this week with light winds. Give the Patchinko or other surface lures a go. Yes I wait out until dawn really and try match it to low tide. If I just want to get out I'll go to the beach for a couple of hours and sometimes get a Bass or 2 on freshly pumped Lugworm.
