Rockfishing for Rays | Shore Fishing UK

[@SaltwaterAngler]

That was enjoyable Nathan! I like how we are seeing the mark in daylight gives some good context to the video.Some terrific shots there of that skyline too you made me want to buy a Century eliminator with that rainbow backing shot there. It really is the tool for this sort of ray fishing by the looks of it. Interesting the size of baits you use- Ive gone back to thumb sized baits as was missing fish - but ill have a look at your rig set ups. My catch rate for ray definitely went up last year with longer 'up and over' pulley rigs. I have a feeling they are put off by the spikes on sand because shorter pulley rigs don't catch as well. Love that first push of the flood and some Big tide moonlit fishing too. Must take you ages to edit your videos and keep walking back to the camera!

[@DavidTYork]

Great session and some nice thornbacks. I love it when they just swim off with the bait. In my own experience on big tides, I get far more over low or high water, but not so many if the tide is really honking. 🎣

[@Drewmk-sc9zv]

Great vid Nathan ,some good action with those rays ,and like you say you can't get better at something without doing it. well done 👍👍

[@johnwilson8999]

Well done Nathan nice thornback rays there, canny walk to that particular venue, always an enjoyable watch buddy tight lines

[@SlippyLimpets]

It's the walk back that does me in, it never seems that steep on the way to the mark. Tight lines mate👍🎣

[@michaelmaher3213]

Hi Nathan... Just wondering if you have chucked KZbin or just taking a break...for the past few years Sunday is the best day for KZbin because of your videos... Hope everything is ok.. cheers Graham 🎣

[@SlippyLimpets]

Hi Graham, I hadn't chucked it in, just haven't been fishing recently, but I'm back on it now. Thanks for the message, appreciate it.👍🎣

[@djgrazer1974]

@@SlippyLimpets brilliant mate.... Am the same in limbo just now with fishing coz it's the in-between.. was supposed to be out skate fishing today, but sadly the stupid wind gods had other ideas...so that the first boat trip cancelled this year... Hopefully it's not a rerun of last year.. need some sunshine and less winds... Fingers crossed..aw the best 🎣🎣🎣🎣

[@sandersson2813]

Not sure about UK Nath, but we are in the spring lull here in Norway. Can't remember when it ended last year but hopefully soon. Two of my mates have access to cracking boats now so hopefully be getting some new species and ive got Kayak to go for pike.

[@motorsnutts6594]

Nice work Nathan, great video again mate , I love catching rays , they are amazing fish . appreciate your efforts bud 👍🏼👍🏼

[@SlippyLimpets]

They are fantastic to look at, almost like wrasse in the difference in patination to each oter

[@allseasonseafishing]

Iv just been hear my self yesterday and that walk and climb down and up the cliff and hill was a killer… very windy also 36mph NE winds made things very difficult I wish I’d seen this video earlier and I’d have traveled lighter my self really regret taking my tackle box today 😂

[@liamnessyalexander9093]

You can turn a pulley rig into an up and over rig by putting the weight on the pulley bead, and an up and over rig clip where the lead was

[@JedBewick-ro6qy]

Cracking video Nathan some good fish there mate 👍🎣

[@SlippyLimpets]

Glad you enjoyed Jed. Tight lines👍🎣

[@andyroo8011]

[@arniec5707]

[@shauncarr3256]

We where there last Saturday 24th caught doggies, thornbacks and a conger just shy of 10lb

[@SlippyLimpets]

This was the same Saturday. By all accounts, I should have fished through the day

[@gordoncarass2360]

Nice video and a pretty good session.

[@SlippyLimpets]

Well done mate great video im glad you had some thornback rays out as it had died down why we left and we'd been there since 8am, im one of the lads you spoke with at the top of the hill on your way down. Wheres the next session gunna be at?

[@SlippyLimpets]

Good to meet you. I should have gone during the day 🤦 think my next session will be Skye for some pollack

[@nigelmilne3503]

2 fish I'd love to get on the hook. Everyone hates Doggies, but they are rare up here, and on my species list for the year!

[@Ericcartman666]

Great shot of you the rod n rest all infront of the moonlit 💧 water, did you plan that or just a happy accident?? Good show aswell 👏

[@SlippyLimpets]

Played for and intended! Tight lines Robbie👍🎣

Another topper mate, imagine your finger stall being on your wrist, almost as bad as lost glasses being on your head that one 😂😂

[@SlippyLimpets]

Who'd have thought🤣🤣

[@fifeslonefisherman8679]

Another productive session

[@SlippyLimpets]

Thanks Mr Lone👍🎣

[@gosnest]

Enjoyed that Nathan, when do the bass start showing up your way? Greetings from Waterford Ireland

[@SlippyLimpets]

Reliably from June onwards, they like bait from about April 👍🎣

[@peterhoness2730]

Nathan we have lived in spain for 5 years and surf fishing is the big fishing style where we lived in the alicante area and durada was the fish they all tried for like your set up i prefer spinnfishing and like things to happen instaed of waiting i fish seabass in the white water being careful of the baracudas coming for mig bass beach fishing do you try this sometimes i think i have seen you do it just a little info thankyou once again i am salmon trout fishing tommorrow in the south of sweden with a sliding lure with one hook saves the 3 hooks from stones and other stops salmon trout are very decisive they can jump of just when you think you have them tight lines to you peter from sweden

[@davidmilne9911]

Yes lm laughing now but the infuriating mystery lost item of kit you cannot do without is a favourite of mine, reading baiting up glasses been my nemesis🤦🏻‍♂️ Usually in the most obvious ridiculous place l sympathise like on my head 😂👍🏻

[@SlippyLimpets]

I much prefer lure fishing as well, and I have fished surf beaches for bass but rarely film them. It feels great pulling a fish out of the froth and rips with a light spinning rod. I like those Line-Through lures too, from companies like Westin and Savage Gear, and always use them with single hooks, accept I swap the ones SG supply. I keep loosing fish on them! I hope you got your salmon. Tight lines Peter 👍🎣

[@SlippyLimpets]

I can't understand how I did that 🤦‍♂️I nearly cut my new towel up to replace the finger-stall. Hopefully learnt my lesson🤣 Tight lines👍🎣

[@brianharris7880]

Leaning on your experience here, but I'm looking for new wader boots, do you recommend felt or rubber soles in general?

[@SlippyLimpets]

I don't use them, Brian, I tend to use old running shoes and screw studs in. They're much lighter and nimble that wading boots. But, I think felt works best in the rivers and I'd go for rubber if you're using them on the coast

[@mickydixon4083]

Well done

[@SlippyLimpets]

Thanks Micky👍

[@Randolf_Randolf]

Thanks again!!

Great video! Ive just come back from Anglesey for a weeks holiday. I did a couple of sessions and had my very first thron back ray off the rocs. Was a belta od a fish.
