Reminds me of back in 70's and 80's fishing the deep lochs in west Scotland for big cod from the shore. You would cast a good distance, the the line from the rod tip was pointing just below the rod a couple of yards out. Excellent session Billy, take care pall.

Yes seen the vids with 8 strand backing, braid main line and braid leader, lol like i said been bingeing on a a bit of BF! Probs not loading up right may practice a bit of SA casting! Ive got 2 identical agility 2 rods but 1 is FS the other MX designated. Reels are Penn Mag 3s and a Sonik 8000 Srs

[@Billyfishing_watch]

The video for loading your multiplier is 4 strand with an eight strand bottom shot the bottom shot is unnecessary foremost fishing. If you are power casting you need a shock leader, I've explained in how to setup your multiplier mono is no good. You need a braid leader for fishing with bread, otherwise you'll get wind nuts. If your casting technique is good the multiplier will cast much further. Does your multiplier have magnetic brakes. If it does, you should adjust them and it will help with the distance.

March to April the fisher there, and then back out to see. It's pretty hard fishing though, you will need a cast of at least 120 to 150 meters. With a big bait. Also you should know, most of the fish will die. Because of the depth of water. So they have to be taken for the table. The flash is not very good because they have just spawned, they will no feed be for spawning. If you are just there for a couple of days it is unlikely that you will catch anything, from the shore.

@@Billyfishing_watch Just looked them up and they are the same. A guy got a 8 pound 26 incher yesterday to win the fish pool $$. I won last year with one about the same size.

nice video, you seemed to be walking a bit funny at times, was that because you needed the toilet or a doctor

[@Billyfishing_watch]

Thanks. Neither of the two suggested maybe just a bit of slowmo.

Try a pendulum cast.

Hi. Where I am fishing in the video, is a popular place for dog walkers. And if you have seen the rig I was using, you will realize that it is unsafe. Thanks 👌

I understand and respect your decision to cease fishing beyond a certain point to avoid harming fish, but it's an approach inconsistent with using a fish to provide 1 or 2 baits. If you care about not hurting sentient creatures, but you love fishing, you have to use flys or artificial lures. Here in North Devon I don't catch much in the sea using those methods, probably because I can't be bothered to go further than Come Martin harbour and I'm shit, which has led me to pretty much giving up fishing. That's a great shame because I love fishing but I can't get past the fact that I don't want to kill just for my pleasure. A real dilemma for anglers.

Hi brother. I feel the same way as you in actual fact. But sometimes the circumstances get the better of you! Originally I intended to keep the fish and eat them, but not having caught a post spawn cod before I did not realize that their flesh was not really good. And that was the last video I shot in that area! Thanks Brother 😁👌

Oh yeah the macro was bought in the supermarket frozen 👍

@@Billyfishing_watch You're a man of character to react like this to my comment, which, when I read it back, comes across as a bit rude. You also make great videos. All the best to you brother.

@KaliYug. Being honest is sometimes confused as rude 😁
