Sea Fishing in FEB - Lets be honest here....

[@MineMyCraft]

Great tip about the lugworm did not know that one! Thanks for sharing!

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Glad it was helpful!

[@londonviking3801]

I happen to like your particular style of filming. Never a dull moment, lots of interesting clips throughout with tips and tricks and recommended tackle and gear thrown in. Please don't change. Fishing is not just about catching. 🎣🎣🎣

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Great feedback thanks as always for your support. Im often reminded that not everyone can get to the coast so sometimes folks like to just “be there” even on an average fishing day

[@londonviking3801]

@@SaltwaterAngler Correct! 👍😁

[@Witchkingraddish]

Always a good day when a new Saltwater Video pops up!

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Thanks as always- More fish next time for us all

[@danharvey7717]

Good to see you back Matt. Always interesting & entertaining 👍🏻thanks for posting again. Look forward to the next one. 👍🏻👍🏻

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Cheers thank you for watching

[@Gazzyb2071]

It's great to see as always, Mat. 👍

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Thanks for watching

[@DavidBing-t5k]

Great video Matt. We too are seeing quite a few rockling on the Thanet coast! Not a great month February and as you say better days ahead. Best wishes Dave

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Cheers DAVE

Lovely video Matt, as always, and a beautiful spot. You put me to shame, I haven't been out fishing since last autumn, life gets in the way sometimes. I must venture out to your part of the South coast one day, I tend to stay in the East Devon & Dorset area as I live a fair way inland, and those are my nearest areas of decent coast. I agree with London Viking, I love your videos & I don't think you over-edit at all, I think your channel is definitely one of the best out there as you have exactly the right approach in every respect. Please keep them coming, & in my opinion you don't need to change anything!

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Hi Ivan, thanks as always for your comments and feedback.funny you think of coming here and I think of heading for Dorset and Devon! Hope life allows for you to head for the coastline a bit more as you want !

[@c.h.fieldsports9876]

Great video, not a blank at least,, as far as the tag end of a knot bursting the bait , I leave mine long , fold it upwards as you put the fresh lug on and it slides over with no bursting, it also acts as a bait holder once the worm has gone past the end , it creates a V shape inside the worm which can help to prevent the worm slipping back down 👍👍🤠

[@SaltwaterAngler]

What a great tip , thanks I have done this in the past, I think using flouro can cause problems as it’s a bit of a harder tag end- thanks for sharing

[@c.h.fieldsports9876]

@@SaltwaterAngler 👍👍🤠

[@Laniobrien]

That actually looked lovley and relaxing even without a keeper. Nice one

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Glad you enjoyed it appreciate this feedback 😀

[@jamico7]

Nice video and tips plus a great session to boot,

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@vincecarey1875]

I always dry my lug in paper and change paper often they go rubbery and stay on better my opinion and with a clipdown rig excellent results

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Good tip for us all thanks

[@bbr9707]

Well done for giving it a go! Summers coming so back to lure fishing…..Tight lines 😎

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Yes 🙌 love your optimism, I’ve been making lots of lure fishing plans

[@bbr9707]

@@SaltwaterAngler and me but the planes turn into buying more lures £££££ Tight lines Matt…. And you’re dog😂🤓

[@stinkymuppet9207]

Nice raw stuff Matt and pooch enjoying its catch .. well it was a dog fish 🙄 thanks for sharing

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Thanks for watching again mate. I should of made a “dog fish” joke 😀well done

[@trampster7306]

"One man and his Dog, went to catch a Fishy"! Mission accomplished. Nice one Matt, even the Dog caught an appropiate Dogfish! Some useful tips as always. Why is it that Swimmers/Paddleboarders and the like always end up in front of an Angler, even when they have a huge beach to use? 🙄🙄 Tight lines, stay safe & well - Dave. 🎣🎣👍👍 Oh, and thanks for the recent email. 👍👍

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Hi Dave, glad you caught this one ! I know right I think a lot of the time they don’t realise how far a beach rod is cast.

[@imaingan4884]

I love using those weights, they aren't too light that a current would drag them around and there not too heavy that they are hard to cast

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Yep nicely summed up 😀

[@tuttale]

Fished that exact spot in August, caught a couple of silver eels.

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Interesting ive never had many Silver eels from here only Congers

[@ironix1]

Nice one Matt. Feb can be a brutal month for sea fishing in Sussex. Those 6 foot Golds tripods are virtually bomb proof. There are a lot of accessories available for them too. I bought mine from Ian himself in 1990, after he talked me into one. It is still as good as the day I bought it.

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Hello mate, always look forward to your comment. Yea I forget about those golds accessories- great story

[@nicholascavie2464]

Awesome again Matt fished that spot and caught some nice fish in my teens I hated catching slugs no comment on the weather. Happy catching from Australia Nick

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Ha ! Brilliant I always look for your comment ! It was a balmy 11 degrees yesterday by the way 🤣

[@leehotspur9679]

That's the way Matt ,Better days ahead That's why we go fishing I have just purchased a new Rod 14,6'' ,Okuma Kotare Cannon Rated 46t carbon fibre and a Penn Rival Fxd Spool here in NZ and have found it to be a great combination I use a 5oz weight and am still in the running in stage I have just also purchased ASSO shock leaders they seem to be all the go Time will tell Great to come fishing with you again Matt Keep them coming Mate ,Much appreciated by an Ex Kent Pat

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Hi Pat thanks enjoyed reading that comment - what a move Kent to NZ ! I blanked in NZ myself when I was last there.

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Think asso do two types of tapered leader

[@jennylesiakowski6456]

Hi can’t wait for the better weather to catch sea bass, great video and plenty of tips. Keep them coming.

[@SaltwaterAngler]

More to come! And yep I can’t stop thinking about those bass coming

[@Billywhizz-bl7yj]

It's bass not sea bass 😩.

[@markstacey6082]

Just had my backop at long last so ill be backout there in next few months!!

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Great news - will look out for how you get on on your return 🤞

[@ukgraffitiwalker8846]

At least you didn't blank, another good video. Fished the admiralty at Dover, I had 7 doggies, and 3 pouting. Two guys next to me had rays and conger!

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Hello ! Yep lots of doggies around at the moment. I’ll get down to Dover this Spring too- good to hear about some rays being caught

Thanks, it’s interesting to me at least ! Mind you I had to cut out a load of my rubbish baiting needle application 😀

[@johngreen6191]

@@SaltwaterAngler I am down your way and love to see familiar places.

[@fishingnorfolk]

Great honest video matt. Thats beach fishing warts snd all 👍

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Thanks for recognising that, yea that’s a normal session alright. But as I say it makes the next good catch more rewarding

[@fishingnorfolk]

@@SaltwaterAngler yep makes you try harder and appreciate the next good catch or session. Been hard the last month in Norfolk but starting to turn with few dogfish and rays, showing.

[@brianpask8955]

I really need to advise my casting clients about the tongue sticking out thing - it works!!

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Adds balance and direction control! Overall an added 10m of distance too

[@fishingwithtednfamily]

Great watch Matt 👍🖖

[@larrylad44larry5]

Great to see your vids … love them ……

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Thank you

[@l.r.sfishing4011]

Rule number 1 always stick ya tong out while casting 😂😂😂 Great video mate as always its been a tought winters fishing but like you said better fishing ahaed. Tight lines mate 🎣🎣🎣

[@KeefsCattys]

I'm not interested in shorts, don't mind if no fish are caught, but just love coming along on your excellent videos as I can't get out fishing these days . thoroughly enjoyed as always . The south coast reminds me of childhood and holidays down to Pevensey Bay.

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Im really pleased to hear that, thanks for paying that much attention. There will be better catches ahead.Really appreciate this feedback so helpful. Sorry to hear you cant get out as you would like but i will be fishing Pevensey Bay this month too

[@richardlavender1066]

Mate of mine reckons those Rockling are good deadbaits for Pike fishing.

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Glad they are good for something!

[@richardlavender1066]

Pike can't be too fussy.

😀 thanks mate

Good that you did not throw that other doggie back , i bet the wife would not be happy 😂😂🤣🤣👌👌

[@cbrider726]

I want to see rigs and all everything otherwise theres no point in watching .New people to the sea fishing thing need help and thats where you guys come in so keep on mate . Nice one . Many Thanks 👍👍👍👍

[@SaltwaterAngler]

I understand and again thanks excellent feedback. Will be working on some better quality bait presentation and close ups for you soon

[@OnTheBait]

Always love your videos! Now i finally have a new camera and audio equipment hopefully ill be able to give your channel a run for its money lol. You made me want to take my dog next time but all it would be is him barking at me casting every time and when/if i get a fish he akways wants to kiss them 😂

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Ha bring a dog fishing great fun 😀😀

[@trevorttilling438]

Where are you fishing?looks like Bexhill

[@i1bike]

do you have any normal terrain beside all those beach surf videos ? Like, a rocky-grassy terrain where you can catch different species like different breams, wrasses and combers ?

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Not here on this patch - some travel needed to find those spots

[@tonycamplin8607]

The larger rockling are good to eat.

[@SaltwaterAngler]

I really should try one. Do you mean a large 5 beard or a 3 bearded ?

[@tonycamplin8607]

@@SaltwaterAngler I think the three bearded, the bigger one. I really can't remember though it's been over 60 years since I ate them. If you try one you'd soon find out !!

[@cbrider726]

How long does the LUG last in sea water . Its hard enough to dig without killing your worm .

[@SaltwaterAngler]

I agree ! for me four days changing water twice a day but I guess it’s more dependent on size of the bucket to amount of worms.

[@FitGex]

big dog fish is easy to catch now from the pier my friend caught 2 of them that where each over 50cm and were very fat and heavy big fillets!

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Indeed ! Good stuff

[@user-ze4fc2gx3q]

Would have been better to put the worm on the needle first before offering it to the hook.

[@allgood6535]

Putting salt 🧂 on bait to put in to salt water 🤔

[@camerongigg2906]

I do not agree with you putting that dog fish on the floor for your dog to chew while still alive I'm a fisherman and I know a lot more other fisherman that would be very annoyed about what you did in this video cruelty

[@SaltwaterAngler]

It was dead

[@camerongigg2906]

@SaltwaterAngler oh right I do apologise looked alive to me that's all sorry for that comment

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Yea Its my fault in that I didn’t really edit that but properly but it was definitely dead. I did think alive at first to be fair

[@dougmatthews6812]

Grow up

[@peterbrucker798]

I'm offended how you torture the worms in salt then impaled by a hook. Shame. Just kidding.
