Mackerel fishing at Budleigh beach.

[@andrewnewby1918]

Another quality production. Again, great commentary. Thanks

[@TedGreenBeachFishing]

Cheers, Budleigh is such a great beach for light fishing on a calm summer evening.

[@andrewnewby1918]

East Devon Beach Fishing UK I live in Essex but travel to Devon to fish, mini break, always great fun, better scenery than Essex too 🤣

[@TedGreenBeachFishing]

Andrew Newby Nice, the fishing is good here. There's 10 fishing mark's that I can choose to fish from, each with it's own character just in the East Devon area.

[@andrewnewby1918]

East Devon Beach Fishing UK I tend to fish the South Hams coast, lure fishing for Bass. So enjoyable.

[@raymundpicart]

Nice video it’s inspired me. I hope i could fish with you in Budleigh and learn few tips from you. I just live in Exeter.

[@DevonLerfer]

Great stuff mate, you always get the best out of that place! Top fishing and an enjoyable watch 👍🎣

[@TedGreenBeachFishing]

Devon Lerfer thanks Rich, I haven't been out fishing for a while and it was good to get out again, 👍

[@I.have.an.std.]

Great video I love it when you used the net minimise the harm on the Mackerel thanks

[@TedGreenBeachFishing]

Tom Baron thanks, I try to use a net as much as possible when light fishing. 👍

[@ciarchitecturali6050]

That’s an awesome day of fishing

[@chromemutt]

Excellent video , love gurnard very underrated eating well done putting them back as well only take the odd fish if you're going to eat em

[@TedGreenBeachFishing]

chromemutt thanks, you can have a very enjoyable evening's light lure fishing using metal's at Budleigh beach when conditions allow and always good to catch a few different species too. 👍

[@rawrydubs]

@@TedGreenBeachFishing what are the best conditions for metals at budleigh??

[@TedGreenBeachFishing]

Rory Waite, clear calm water with a chance during the day but best in the evening at dusk. 👍

[@IOMFishing]

Nice variety, good to see.

[@TedGreenBeachFishing]

IOM Fishing thanks, its quite surprising what you can actually catch from Budleigh beach just using a light lure set up, 👍

[@IOMFishing]

@@TedGreenBeachFishing Love seeing the Gurnard, we only seem to get them in 80-90ft+ of water. Would love to catch them on light gear.

[@dave-ux1iu]

nice video few hours well spent,very good

[@TedGreenBeachFishing]

dave thanks, it turned out to be a better evening's fishing than I first thought it would be.

[@geraltofrivia8529]

Beautiful video ma beaut. Only just found your channel 👍

[@TedGreenBeachFishing]

Cheers, I've had a break from fishing for a couple of months but I'll be back on it for the autumn and winter 👍

[@mojo1737]

Hi never fished Budleigh area when is the best time to fish for mackerel and what is bottom fishing 🎣 like please thanks in advance

[@TedGreenBeachFishing]

Calm weather, clear water and in the evening over dusk for Mackerel, still worth a go if the water is a little coloured. Bottom fishing is when the bait is on the sea bed as opposed to float fishing when the bait is suspended in the water column 👍

[@shorefishingessex]

Great vid, subbed as a result, will have fun looking back on your previous output!

[@TedGreenBeachFishing]

Shore Fishing Essex thanks, I've subscribed back 👍

[@shorefishingessex]

@@TedGreenBeachFishing Thank you kindly sir!!

[@anthilly2585]

Hi, I'm new to your great vids, listening in on you catching is really good. What was the model of lure you were using, the choice is a bit bewildering me being new to lure fishing and all. Tight lines, Mick.

[@TedGreenBeachFishing]

Mick and Diana Tafft thanks, I was using a few different metal lures but a good lure to start out with is the 'dexter wedge' as you will catch most fish on that, it will come with a treble hook, so it's best practice to crush the barbs with a pair of pliers as this will be easier to unhook the fish. Another good lure is the 'HTO shore jig' in silver, both these lures imitate the small bait fish that are swimming around that fish feed on especially in the summer months, mackerel and Bass. You'll want to buy the lures in the middle of your rods casting range, i.e. 4 - 16 grams then get a 10 gram lure or 0.5 - 7 gram then either a 3 or 5 gram lure. 👍

[@anthilly2585]

Blimey, what a brilliant and comprehensive reply, thanks mate you're a star. You never know we might see you on the beach one day, thanks again, all the best Mick.

[@MrCharlieC23]

Great video, thanks! I live in Exmouth so would like to start soon. Can you recommend a rod for a beginner?

[@TedGreenBeachFishing]

Thanks. Depends on what type of fishing you want to do, your best bet is to go to your local tackle shop and have a chat with them to start with, also check out the beginning beach fishing play list on the Totally Awesome Fishing Show KZbin channel. 👍

[@MrCharlieC23]

@@TedGreenBeachFishing that's very helpful. Thanks so much! 😊

[@Kernow-lerf]

Hi great videos liked and subbed I’m travelling down to East Devon tomorrow staying at branscombe hoping to have a go for mackerel off the beach using lures any tips for success kind regards

[@TedGreenBeachFishing]

David Smith thanks, I use metal's when lure fishing for Mackerel, Scad, Gurnard's etc. anything that looks like the fry they are feeding on works, either the cheap dexter wedges or more expensive jigpara lures. Evening's going into dusk and dawn are the best time to try and when the water is calm and clear, I've still caught when it's been choppy and coloured water too. After casting let the lure to sink as that's when I've had most of my takes, then just a simple draw and twitch. 👍

[@Kernow-lerf]

East Devon Beach Fishing UK I can’t wait to try I’ve been light lure fishing rivers canals etc for last 2 years so trying on the beach will be new challenge My son would love a go at LRF but I don’t know East Devon at all so wouldn’t know where to take my son to rock fish

[@TedGreenBeachFishing]

David Smith You can LRF at Beer, on the east side there is a small hard standing you can fish off, Exmouth harbour car park is good for all sorts using a simple drop shot rig. (make sure you pay to park within 5 minutes, otherwise you'll get a fine through the post. Same goes for Branscombe beach car park) Fish Exmouth at high tide over slack water, spring tides this week so the water will be ripping through. Budleigh beach using metal's but the best place to LRF is Brixham harbour and breakwater or Plymouth around Sutton harbour 👍

[@Kernow-lerf]

East Devon Beach Fishing UK that’s awesome tight lines I’ll let you know how we do

[@kenoz6908]

Very enjoyable watch. Do you ever fish the other end of the beach by the river Mouth and car park?

[@TedGreenBeachFishing]

Ken Dodge thanks, yes I do fish the other end but not so much during the summer as it's a bit busy, I'll lure and bait fish from the rocks and bait fish in front of the car park on a high spring tide, 👍

[@kenoz6908]

Many thanks, I enjoy the walk from Otterton to Budleigh when I come down to Devon, so that end of the beach will be perfect to try some lure fishing when I visit in September. Good luck 👍

[@Dannykeenan1664]

Great video what time of year do the mackerel start coming into Budleigh? Do surface lures work for the Bass also? I'm down in Devon with work so looking for places to fish

[@TedGreenBeachFishing]

Thanks. From now onwards for the Mackerel, if it's calm weather over dusk or dawn. Always still worth having a go if the water is coloured, which can be a problem with Budleigh. I'll use top water lures fishing over the reef area near the Otter mouth, Sidmouth over the rocks at the ladder end, Exmouth slipway and Mear rocks for Bass.

[@marcusfisher123]

Great video, keep up the good work! Making me look forward to getting to Budleigh once lockdown is over. What landing net is that your using?

[@TedGreenBeachFishing]

Marcus Fisher Thanks, it's the HTO Telescopic Rubber Landing Net about £29. Yes can't wait to get back out to Budleigh for a few hrs lure fishing 👍

[@BaccillusAnthracis]

Nice video very informative as well mate.what is the legal size for bass anyway?😁😁😁😁

[@TedGreenBeachFishing]

Tony Grey thanks, it's a minimum size of 42cm, two Bass can be retained per day until 30 November, then catch and release only mate.

[@BaccillusAnthracis]

East Devon Beach Fishing UK chees mate.my family and i will be going there on holiday devon cliffs in 2nd week of aug.i have been watching your videos to get some tips as we have never been there and my kids and i are excited to go fishing in budleigh which looks like a really nice quite place.we are only targeting mackerel and scad which i hope we will get some and maybe just get lucky on the bass as well.Have you ever tried fishing in sandy bay as well?

[@TedGreenBeachFishing]

Tony Grey I've bait fished at Sand Bay for Flounder and Bass but don't really bother till the autumn and early winter as it can get a bit weedy in the summer months, always worth a go for Bass especially if the sea is a bit choppy.

[@BaccillusAnthracis]

Thanks for the info will defo try setting up for bass fishing.👍👍👍👍👍

[@djnandez2012]

So good to see , what size lure and line you using / style ? Keen to get out and give this a go. Seems you’ve got the swim on lockdown 👍🏽👍🏽 Great fishing , keep the videos coming mate

[@TedGreenBeachFishing]

SurreyDan thanks. I was using a 0.5-5 gram rod, 1000 size reel, 5lb braid, with about a foot of 4lb fluorocarbon and either a 3 or 5 gram metal lure, the other rod was 4-16 gram, 1500 reel, 12lb nanofil line, a foot of 10lb fluorocarbon leader and using 10 gram metal lures. Cast out and allow the lure to sink through the water column then wind in with a few small jerks and pauses. 👍

[@maxwellavenueofficial]

Hiya bud! Loving the content, im staying at a caravan site near from budleigh beach and i have give budleigh a go using a 4oz lure but i find it quite hefty at times against the rocks. Anything you could advise? im thinking of moving to lugworm?

[@TedGreenBeachFishing]

4oz lure? I use 10 or 15 gram metal lures as they are the size of the bait fish that the Mackerel are feeding on, wind in fast as your getting closer to the waters edge as you'll snag up on the pebbles (aka Budleigh Buns). If fishing over the rocks at the river end, I'll use weedles lures from 15 to 20 gram for the Bass and Wrasse. Worm baits are ideal this time of year for the Gunards but can be stripped quickly due to the Hermits and Spider crabs. 👍

[@raymundpicart]

What waders can you advise that i can use when i do fishing in beaches?

[@TedGreenBeachFishing]

Raymund Picart depends on your budget and what you'll be using them for, open surf beaches, storm beaches, rock marks, estuaries, lure fishing etc. I use IMAX heavy duty chest waders for most of my fishing, also a pair of VASS thigh waders, wellington boots or a pair of walking boots, just depends on the ground that I'm fishing from, the walk in to the fish mark and weather conditions.

[@coolstaff3619]

Good one mate 👍

[@TedGreenBeachFishing]

coolstaff thanks, it's a good spot to spend a few hours lure fishing on a summers evening.

[@ExeterboyWilliams]

Hi mate! When’s best for mackerel at budleigh? I’m heading there tomorrow, are many around?

[@TedGreenBeachFishing]

Jason Williams there's a few about now, definitely worth a go over dusk. Just need calm and clear conditions 👍

[@vim1471]

What length is your LRF rod and how far do you cast out for the Mackeral ?

[@TedGreenBeachFishing]

Vim I was using a 7'3" 0.5. - 5 gram rod and a 7'6" 4 - 16 gram rod, the Mackerel can be 10 feet in front of you sometimes, especially if they are chasing the bait fish that will beach themselves to avoid being eaten. A good cast of about 30 meters or so should be okay from the beach, most of my hook ups are when I've just cast out and allowed the lure to drop through the water before starting the retrieve.
