[@davidharvey5672]

good to see you back on the beach Chris, lets have some more.

[@FromTheWatersEdgeTV]

Thanks David! Fingers crossed we should be back with some Bass and Smoothound this summer!

[@davidstorton910]

What a nice place to be, I was down Chesil 2 days ago mackreling and you won't be washing your hands in the surf there (hard enough keeping out of your wellies), but a really good day 22 mackerel and I quit at that (filled my freezer with bait and a couple for the table)

[@FromTheWatersEdgeTV]

Excellent stuff David, I've heard lots of good things about Chesil, definitely somewhere I want to fish one day!

Great little video lads,good to see you back on the beach..The flatties seem to be around in numbers this year it seems,the hounds have just started to show in the south so hope to get out soon myself,tight lines for the next one Si...ps did you have have sun glasses marks,made that mistake myself a little while back lol 🕶

[@FromTheWatersEdgeTV]

Thanks Simon, glad you enjoyed it, thanks for taking the time to comment. It's good to see the Flatties and to catch them, reminds me of when I was a child :-) Haha... I was a little concerned about the sun glasses mark, but luckily it wasn't too bad! I'm naturally quite red anyway!! Haha! Hope your fishing is going well, cheers Chris.

[@Mr.supercapybara4207]

Great videos ,tying some of your technics on Venice Beach CA USA

[@FromTheWatersEdgeTV]

Thanks for the kind comments Pete! Nice to hear from you all the way over in the US too! Hope you've been catching a few, tight lines and be lucky.

[@Sira1973]

Glad you back on.

[@FromTheWatersEdgeTV]

Thanks mate, it's good to be back! :-)

[@ethangoddard1105]

you should do video when you just uses cheaper bait like mackerel,sandeel,herring etc to see if it makes a difference

[@graccoducklol4677]

Hi guys,Great vids, have watched them all.Can i ask where you got your shallow bait bucket from chris?ThanksAndy

[@FromTheWatersEdgeTV]

Thanks Andy, glad you are enjoying the videos! :-) I got the bucket from Angling Direct years ago, I think it was from a company called Lemco. If you click the tackle box link in the video description there should be a link to some other similar models. Hope that helps. :-) Tight lines, cheers Chris.

[@schend1111111]

Nice video,you sure had a good day,maybe you should try popups or floaters,thanks for posting!

[@FromTheWatersEdgeTV]

Thats a nice idea mate! Would make a nice video :-)

[@SaltwaterAngler]

thanks Another good video great audio too

[@FromTheWatersEdgeTV]

Thanks for the kind comments and for taking the time to post them, glad you enjoyed it! :-)

[@eddy_lee_9115]

Have you tried to use prawns for flatfish? Its one of the best baits in baltic sea but never heard anyone using it in uk...

[@FromTheWatersEdgeTV]

I haven't really Edgar, I don't tend to use prawns very often. Around our coastline they aren't used that much.

[@eddy_lee_9115]

From The Waters Edge TV: have you tried to take part in E.BC open? And would it be possible to organise some session with you?

[@r013y1]

hi, can you do a vid on terminal tackle and how to use it (sea fishing), cheers.

[@FromTheWatersEdgeTV]

We'll see what we can do mate!

[@LORDIZY]

good session....not much coming out down my way...

[@FromTheWatersEdgeTV]

Cheers Chris!

[@munecob1989]

way to eavy terminal tackle for the species over there......

[@carolinedustan4613]

Your hook was a little bit big what rig is that called

[@FromTheWatersEdgeTV]

Hi Caroline, it's just a standard two hook flapper rig.

[@Bevii3]

should have headed down to shingle street, plenty of rays coming out, off to minsmere tomorrow hoping for a few bass

[@FromTheWatersEdgeTV]

Nice one, fingers crossed we might get down that way soon!

[@ConorsOutdoorActivities]

what date was that and what day of the week was that

[@FromTheWatersEdgeTV]

It was a Sunday a few weeks ago Conor, can't remember the exact date.

[@beowulf5982]

Welcome back Chris. Hope you can find the time to make more videos soon, always watching out for them. Thanks for sharing+good luck.

[@FromTheWatersEdgeTV]

Thanks mate, glad you enjoyed it and thanks for taking the time to comment. Fingers crossed there won't be such a long wait for the next one!

[@dieangeln]

[@FromTheWatersEdgeTV]

No worries at all, glad you are enjoying them and good luck with your fishing. Tight lines, cheers Chris.

[@williammencia210]

Great video can you tell me what rod and reel are you using

[@w1ckaman89]

the rods are Greys GRXS. i know that for a fact because i have them and the reels look like daiwa 20SHA also known as Daiwa slosh 20

[@williammencia210]

+w1ckaman89 thanks for the info

[@FromTheWatersEdgeTV]

The rods are Greys GRX-s and the reels are the Penn 525 MAG 2's, hope that helps.

[@lloydb6182]

great video learnt a lot thanks.

[@FromTheWatersEdgeTV]

Thanks for the kind comments Lloyd, glad you enjoyed the video and found it useful! :-) Cheers Chris.

[@peterstanley8450]

do you make your own rigs?

[@FromTheWatersEdgeTV]

Sometimes I do Peter, depends how much free time I have, if not I'll buy them ready made.

[@peterstanley8450]

where do you buy them from

[@dugardaprods]

hi mate i have been fishing with 2 hook flappers beach and pier town quey in southampton for one and hamble and western shore no fish in over 3 weeks on the boat also no fish in over 3 weks any tips on what im doing wrong im fishing the right tides using a normal rod and reel with white line 2hook flappers are made with decent hook lengths i use rag and squid im getting fed up of blanking for months on end and even blanking on the boat after i have paid money for it cheers mate

[@flounderpounder2266]

Try using smaller hooks, make sure the bait doesn't cover the hook, and try out crab and lug baits, squid is a good tipping bait but not so good on its own, rag is ok but really you want to use peeler crab and lugworm, mackerel strips are good too.

[@FromTheWatersEdgeTV]

Hi Ash, rather than bait or tackle it's probably because there are no fish there. Perhaps try a different venue or perhaps try fishing in a variety of different conditions. Try and pick the biggest tides of the month (full moon and new moon), these generally tend to yield more fish. I'd try and fish at night too... fish tend to come closer to the shore under the cover of darkness. Hope that helps a little. Cheers Chris.

[@SaltWaterPassions]

Hi Chris it's always nice to catch a few fish with that kind of weather conditions. Tight lines Greetzzz John #saltwaterpassions

[@FromTheWatersEdgeTV]

Thanks mate, glad you enjoyed it! Not ideal conditions for fishing, but ideal for sitting there and soaking up some rays! ;-)

[@Ryandawson018]

Great video as always.. keep up the good work From fishing uk online

[@FromTheWatersEdgeTV]

Thanks for the kind comments, glad you're enjoying the videos!

[@Ryandawson018]

From The Waters Edge TV maybe we should team up and do a video together and bump both our views

[@FromTheWatersEdgeTV]

We could look at that mate! Had a few people email about collaborations... it's just trying to fit stuff in though. Am struggling to get out at the moment!

[@Ryandawson018]

From The Waters Edge TV ok 👌🏻 add me on Facebook .. ryan dawson 👍🏻

[@Argyll100]

Hi Chris..another great video just goes to show not all the fish are on the horizon ! good days sport all the same .. It was also interestng to see the weaver close up heard of them never seen or caught one .. Tight Lines.

[@FromTheWatersEdgeTV]

Thanks as always John, glad you enjoyed it and thanks for taking the time to comment.

[@elliotfrancis4187]

Earth worms good for dabs . Flounder

[@FromTheWatersEdgeTV]

Really Elliot? I've never tried them, but I have heard of people using them in the past!

[@elliotfrancis4187]

@@FromTheWatersEdgeTV ye I've had a good few on earth woms should try it one

[@ConnorJGaming]

Please keep the videos coming, always great content just a shame of the lack of videos

[@FromTheWatersEdgeTV]

We will try Connor, it's just with sea fishing we are more affected by weather, tides, sea state and actual fish. Fingers crossed for some Bass and SMoothound this summer thought. :-)

[@ukinfamous]

No Roker up that way? Been plenty showing off Felixstowe lately.

[@FromTheWatersEdgeTV]

This was a few weeks back now, I'm not sure at the moment, little out of touch! Hopefully I'll be back out in the next week or so though. :-) Hope your fishing is going well, cheers Chris.

[@henryrussell3494]

Keep well away from them weavers i ad one flick and just got me it knocked me sick very painful

[@FromTheWatersEdgeTV]

They are pretty painful mate!

[@mikesperanza6794]

what's with dragging the flounders ( dabb) in over the rocks? I thought you folks were big into "fish safety"?

[@kyliefraser8010]

wouldve liked to see a reply on this

[@ianmiller865]

if we all cared for the fish we wouldnt stick a hook in them??? we all love our fish and fishing but please leave the fishing police out of it.

[@stephenlumb5593]

six months have past since your last sea fishing film and you still not fixed your two rods .

[@FromTheWatersEdgeTV]

Haha, I know! I need to get them done. Am debating buying some new one's though!

[@matsonekd2886]

From The Waters Edge TV where was it?

[@martynfletcher2054]

Dragging fish up the beach - not cool.

[@dzmalekvali1110]

Call this a fish

[@Tejasmondal]

Keep trying one day u will achieve big one,,,best of luck,,boring vedio I have ever seen

[@FromTheWatersEdgeTV]

Haha! The video was based around catching small fish. It was many years ago now, a few of our other/newer video's have some bigger fish in.
