Brighton Marina trying a new method

[@thisisus.504]

I grew up fishing that Marina. Through the 80's, all my summer holidays were spent on those arms, before it was developed. There was one tackle shop and a long way to walk for food. Dropped off by my Dad early AM on the way to work and picked up on his way home. Met so many people. Such memories but not of massive catches. At all but we made it such a blast.

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Love this comment , thanks 👍

[@martinmeasures829]

I have similar memories of the 80's and southparade pier in Southsea, back then all I knew were rag worm and limpets, ah those were the days. 👍

[@KeefsCattys]

Really enjoyed watching . Laughed when the guy cast with his bale arm closed 😄

[@pikefisherman1978]

Me too, but we've all been there!

[@matthewgriffiths1041]

Me too!

[@CHOPPA78]

Like you ain't done that 😂

[@cliffjamesmusic]

I am stunned by the technological and material developments developed for fishing. I assume this has had to happen because of the fish getting wise to the simple methods we used to use.

[@JoshLucas247]

Great video Matt! I grew up fishing this venue it's one of my favourite places! It has changed a lot over the years though!

[@ianturner3033]

Great drone footage.❤️ Very informative.🧑‍🎓 Take care mate.😷

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Hi Ian , Thanks for watching i think we've had 2 weeks of the same weather ! I lost the drone at one point here

[@londonviking3801]

I've also blanked at the East Pier at Brighton Marina. I have quite a list of great venues where I've blanked... 🤣😂🤣 I do have some chinese prawns coming in the post - they do look great some of them. Bound to catch (a fish I mean - they've already caught me). Nice to see a good variety of venues Matt. Not heard a peep from Dungeness in months - anyone catching there?

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Anyone .. yea that venue owes me a few fish

[@andrewdking]

Not related to the breakwater fishing, but circa 1980 when the Marina was newish, my Work's sea fishing club booked a trip out of there. Only time I caught Sea Bream if I remember rightly. Also I remember seeing the Boeing hydrafoil service in action and a rare spot of a RN jet engined Vosper Perkasa Torpedo Patrol Boat moored there. Three dustbin lid sized exhaust covers on its stern - fabulous!

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Lovely memories Andrew 👍

[@nicholascavie2464]

Nice video Matt nice looking lures, cant beat live prawns. Happy catching from AUSTRALIA Nick

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Yes I’ll attempt to look after my live ones better this year in the prawnarium

[@martinmeasures829]

Hi Matt, love the channel and yes I'm subscribed, I'm 58 now and just getting back into a bit of leisure angling, and I'm liking the look of lure fishing, I'm going to the Isle of Mull in a few weeks and I'm all geared up, and thanks to your channel I think I have a much better understanding, there are supposed to be quite a few hot spots around the island for mackerel and bass so I'm going to have a few sessions, I'm actually rather excited, especially now I have a little bit of your knowledge. I will say I'm going to be watching a lot more of your channel that's for sure. Martin in Portsmouth 👍

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Thanks Martin , appreciate your story here - that sound like a terrific mull adventure, do let us know how you get on .

[@danharvey7717]

Cheers Matt. Few blanks around that area too this week but hoping the constantly warm sunny weather will work it’s magic. Fingers crossed - tight lines. 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Hi Dan, yea looking good for next week

[@SolentAngler]

Interesting Matt, I like the look of those prawn imitations. Regards the SG seeker - I used a 23 gram green/white one yesterday in my local creek. It accounted for my best bass of the year so far at 62 cm !

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Get in ! I think sometimes we disregard metals when they can be fished at any depth plus that extra casting distance

[@SolentAngler]

Seems to be the killer at that spot at the moment for some reason. I've tried soft plastics, surface lures, shallow divers etc. Without much interest.

[@raedabusanad]

Notjing can beat the casting distance of metal lures. I always have 1 or 2 cheap ones without the rear treble to scan new marks for snags first thing.

[@kerryfoster1]

I walked out there the other day and there were stacks of mullet on the inside! Yes if you fish inside you get BANNED! IF you park at the small (free) carpark just off the main Rd at Roedean it only takes 10 minutes to walk to the East breakwater down the slope. I've got my bus pass now and the stop is right by the slope 😂😂😂

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Thanks Kerry good tips there. I parked in the multi story but it’s officially limited to 4 hours but you can argue that your a marina user keep your fishing receipt

[@trampster7306]

Nice one Matt! Looks a good place to fish. Stay safe & well - Dave. 🎣🎣👍👍

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Thanks 👍 Sorry Dave must of Missed your comment this week

[@davetevens5080]

Nice one Matt. I remember fishing the inside of the marina as a kid. Great times 😊

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Ohh I’m not sure when it stopped remember the pouting got big here too

[@davetevens5080]

@@SaltwaterAngler they did had mullet and a few bass in there too

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Oh yes, I did see some bass around the pontoons. Probably catch them on bread 🥖

[@davetevens5080]

@@SaltwaterAngler exactly what we used 👍

[@davekelly8230]

I love that feeling of casting farther than everyone on the pier with my super light gear 😂 (not that that’s what it’s about)

[@Kingrizz69]

I fish here all the the time, that bay before where you were (float to live spray paint) just a heads up is snag central haha

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Good tip for us all thanks. But i do love rough ground as a feature, Just the bank balance doesn't.

[@colallison6152]

Those prawn lures look amazing! 👍

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Surprisingly good for an Amazon job

[@BYF1]

Those seekers fly don’t they, I’ve still only caught Mackerel on them. Thanks for your advice on the live Q & A about lures for fishing off of large boulder sea defences. Last time out I used a white savage gear weedless sandeel with a 15g head and caught 3x Bass to 56cm in the dark, two fish hit the lure only 15ft out. Light jig heads 10-15g definitely help keep the lure running deeper down near the boulders where the fish are but not too heavy to snag in between. Perfect!

[@SaltwaterAngler]

That’s what I want to hear Top work you understood and took action ! The sea defences can be tricky but that’s a good catch

[@l.r.sfishing4011]

Great video mat i love the drone footage!! Top stuff 🎣🎣🎣

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Yea I think it helps show a mark well

[@fishingnorfolk]

Great video mate. I have some of them. I use a weighted jighead with them or one on a 3 hook flapper as 1 down tipped with squid or raw prawn has caught and done me well

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Good comment thanks

[@bElLtOn14]

Love that guy who completely screwed his cast lol

[@thebeardedwunderer1503]

That’s been me more than once! Lol

[@skateboardingjesus4006]

Looks like another great day? Those Seekers helped me get the distance to the mackerel yesterday, while the feathers gang were falling short. I'm almost twitching with anticipation waiting for the bass. Any day now.

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Yes me too ! Tides and weather coming together next weekend

[@KerbsideClassics]

great video as ever mate enjoyed it

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Great glad you enjoyed it

[@raedabusanad]

Hello, Do you recommend lure fishing with metal jigs in Brighton marina, as everyone i ve seen so far use bait and long rods? Is it deep enough for light shore jigging 30-40gr jigs, and what about snags? Chees 😊

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Yes go for it a great way to fish! If the water is clear you could catch right in to December

[@ConorsOutdoorActivities]

Great video, nice one mate 👍

[@cucinawithlove]

Where is the fish ? 😂 looking forward to your next video cheers mate

[@SaltwaterAngler]

They will be making an appearance In the next upload 😂

Hi matt nice video I've never done lure fishing and thinking I've been fishing 35 years Quick question lure fishing real line do you have shockleader or main line straight through? Thanks in advance

Yea a fluorocarbon leader same strength as the braid main line

Nice

[@dave1secondago]

looks a nice place that matt

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Yea it has a few advantages depending on wind direction too

[@BognorYouthU13]

The UKs fishery is diabolical.

[@dmg2095]

Hi need some help again im in Buckinghamshire and only fresh water fish about the furthest point from the sea looking at getting a all round bass lure rod looking at savage gear sgs5 9.6ft / 9/35g or 9.6ft/12/46g Or the sgs2 long cast 9.6/10-40 or 15-- 50g which is £50 cheaper And will be ordering online as no tackle shop here sell sea rod have ordered the Shimano Nasci 2500HG you talked about

[@SaltwaterAngler]

A 2500 shimano reel is golden for my type of venue maybe 3500 if you want an all rounder. Similar with rods I’ll not need anything over 30g but maybe 35-40 if you want all rounder for deeper rock marks on the west coast of wales say. She range fine from the two rods I’ve used. Take a look at ABU or favourite brand for good value. Please check out my blog in the description of most videos where I give links and further advice to all these.

[@andrewdking]

The red Tenyru Injection. The dogs dodars, but costs

[@dmg2095]

I went for the Shimano Nasci 3000HG and savage gear sgs5 9.6ft 9/35g Go to Portsmouth at the end of the month, never be before any information on the place would be appreciated only been bass fishing twice at poole before and love it

[@MoversPackers-n5y]

Do we need to pay for the fishing?

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Yes. I think its 6 quid a rod uness someone can update us here

[@TheSpudfish]

what the make of the rod and reel ?

[@SaltwaterAngler]

The shimano and the favourite here; mattlingard02.wixsite.com/saltwater/post/sea-fishing-tackle-i-use

[@jasonkingsbury1456]

Do you have to pay or have a membership to fish from there

[@SaltwaterAngler]

You can pay on the day a nice chap comes round and takes cash

[@CHOPPA78]

The inside of the arms used to be banging fishing mullet bass mackerel nice rocky calm water the rich have spoiled it now

[@Sir.Fisher]

1:29 bale arm malfunction moment ..... oooops

[@SaltwaterAngler]

It’s almost as if I knew he’d do it !

[@scissoroarscissoroar3214]

Do any of you fisherman ever catch anything ? I keep watching videos and no one catches any fish

[@SaltwaterAngler]

One day I hope to

[@markhodgkinson8431]

Shows without technique you won't be going far, I've some Westin weighted prawns always good to experiment with different lure types, seems creature baits are the next big thing

[@SaltwaterAngler]

I know live prawns do much better in a good tide and that click is so important
