Sea Fishing UK | Sittingbourne, Kent | The Swale | A Surprise Session on the Unpredictable Swale

[@sergeishibalov9236]

I think it's fantastic to see so fish returned by today. Another great video keep it up !! Windy. Thank you

[@gsp]

Thanks👍

[@karlpage8113]

loving the new vids,nice to see some nice size rays and doggies, great vid cant wait for next one and tight lines fella.

[@alcook8366]

I sometimes anchor bang on centre so fish the pools either side either tide....it’s where the incoming tides around the island converge. Very interesting area

[@gsp]

I might have to take my sib down the swale and have an exploration 👍

[@oldmanfrancis9843]

Great video that mate, excellent fishing!

[@gsp]

Thanks

[@stevenhammond6250]

Nicely done there great session well done

[@raymarv65]

Yet another great video, I didn't know about that gravel spit going out into the swale. Great fish, and whilst I agree with catch and release it is food to see someone willing to show that some fish for food is still ok. Awesome

[@gsp]

Many Thanks👍

[@lindalambert7236]

again another good vid. would love to know how to get to your spot on the swale.i have never caughe a dog.y or a ray so would like to fish where you do.so please how do you get there.John.L. from harlow in essex. love to meetyou some day.

[@gsp]

If you search elmley ferry, Sittingbourne on google maps it will take you directly to the mark. The last bit of the track is inaccessible in the winter in a normal car as the puddles are very deep but a 4x4 will be ok

[@infest1977]

Nice well done good bit of angerling. And as always nice video.

[@gsp]

Many thanks

[@scotlandforagingandfishing]

Epic session, well done.

[@neilturner6865]

Nice Skate off Whitstable & Herne Bay 🎣🎣tight lines buddy 🤗

[@keithgribble8143]

hi bud great vid thanks for sharing,, i use a casting cannon too but have to wrap mine around 2/3 times whats your braid breaking strain mine may be a bit thin

[@gsp]

My mainline is 18lb braid with a 68lb mono leader. If the Canon is not directly above the spo the you need to wrap it more than once and it causes problems. I only wrap mine once, always on the leader and it cast fine. Tip.. Don't use braid straight through or a braid leader, the lack of stretch puts too much strain on the rod when under load and it can snap your rod

[@keithgribble8143]

@@gsp ahh your using a mono leader im using braid straight through mainly estuary fishing, and the weed is a pain, so i have done away with a leader/shockleader knot so as it doesnt jam up with a tidy bass on im mainly fishing sand or mud, but thanks for the advice bud

[@Mr-millen]

Brilliant video 👍 we’ve had loads of skate this year in the swale just off the old coal jetty at Kemsley mill and there’s been some nice Sizes as well plus the bass have been plentiful as well 🎣

[@gsp]

Are you able to fish off that jetty? The swale can be very hit and miss but sometimes does throw up so good fish

[@Mr-millen]

@@gsp we’ve got are own boat and have had great success in the swale this year but you can’t fish off the coal jetty anymore

[@luckyangayen]

Nice vids man. Good catch on that ray. like the area too.

[@gsp]

Many thanks 👍

[@dannykemp5265]

Great job when you put the time in you get the result well done mate

[@Run-w2l]

Nice one again! I just caught one in seasalter tonight, was a welcome surprise

[@gsp]

Well done mate!

[@1RodRob]

Great fishing, thanks for sharing. I would like to know you thoughts on the Sonik Gravity HT, have you done a review on it? I have the same rod and love it.

[@gsp]

I also love it and think it's one of the best rods for sea fishing in the UK. It may not withstand the strong tides of the Bristol channel but for the majority of what I require it for its ideal. Great bite detection and sensitive tip with a stiff mid and butt section. Im looking at getting another one

[@jackmcbride9799]

Quality video mate been past there loads of times always wondered what’s in the waters 👍

[@gsp]

I've fished there a few times and there's normally nothing in the water! 🤦‍♂️😂

[@davidtitcombe4686]

Great video and surprised about the rays. Although I agree with catch and release I also think it's right to take for the table. I know there will be the purests that will think you should have released them all, I believe you can't beat fresh caught fish for the table. I must say I love a bit of dog fish (better known as Rock Salmon) and skate wings are very tasty although a bigger to cut up and skin. Once again congratulations on a good bag and it have been so easy to keep the third day but having enough for the table you released it.

[@gsp]

I take what I feel is adequate for me, I freeze some but as I mainly only eat fish it seems silly to catch fish and put them back just to go to the supermarket and buy prepared fillets. It would all be alot more sustainable if everyone caught their dinner instead of buy from the fish counters

[@theunknownfishermanuk8060]

Loads of rays in the swale this year there’s been a few sting rays caught this year there as well.

[@fishhubbd]

Excellent!!!!

[@leegreen9289]

Nice sesh... usually one ray there will be more lurking as you knew...pukka buddy👍

[@robinbrooks1840]

Great day in the not so humble Swale Bon apeti will check out you rigs

[@mrcodling9527]

Great session 💪💪💪🎣🎣🎣

[@leemadden3able]

Another good video mate really nice doggies and rays didn’t know about that venue would love to fish it some day but don’t know where it is I know it’s sittingbourne way that’s it . Anyway keep them coming . Ps where’s Aaron!

[@gsp]

He didn't like the look of the weather forecast! 😂

[@tomosedwards8369]

Do you recommend those casting canons? I use a finger stall at the moment and thinking about making the change.

[@gsp]

I love the casting canons but they do take a little bit of getting used too. My sonik is soon in need of re guiding (factory whipping with metallic threads don't last) so when I do that I'm wrapping one on permanently!

[@GoneFishingFuerte]

Nice fish mate & a cracking vid packed full of action. I see your Mr. Disliker is still lurking around. I have actually started feeling sorry for the fella, it seems the poor soul hasn't got anything else to occupy himself with in life :(

[@gsp]

😂😂😂 The dislike always appears within the 1st hr but it's all good, the vid has to be clicked on to dislike so I thank him for his view 😂😂😂

[@waynemccully611]

The dislike was left by Skippy1969.

[@derrickmasters3404]

Nice one buddy 👍

[@gsp]

Cheers mate!

[@beachuk38]

Nice video, great session. The loop rig/Portsmouth rig is my favourite rig. Where did you get that phone holder to film with, looks handy to have?

[@gsp]

It off ebay, some Chinese thing. Took an age to get here but is really good

[@beachuk38]

@@gsp Thank you

[@fishypie]

great fishing but that bloody wind

[@grahamunderwood9353]

Nice catch

[@gsp]

Thanks 👍

[@ollyjackson8733]

Great vid mate I've not seen your videos before. How do you eat the doggies? I've tried to eat 4 or 5 times now and I just couldnt get the texture like fish flavoured marshmallow?? First couple I didnt gut immediately so tasted rank but the next few taste alright but again texture off.

[@shanehumphries]

Hi what is the name of the place that your fish in this video

[@gsp]

I don't actually know it's name I just know it as the swale near Sittingbourne, near the pay and play golf

[@Angrypostman1977]

Your a man after my own heart and love the taste of a doggie or 2 but i have trouble dispatching them quickly any tips? Greatly appreciate your videos they are excellent

[@Angrypostman1977]

@@tomosedwards8369ok mate thanks

[@gsp]

Yep totally agree, sorry meant to reply. That way you kill them and bleed them at the same time

[@nerdroom1972]

Fished here today, had no luck but thats just fishing i guess.

[@gsp]

Unlucky, that is just fishing and I've had some hard sessions recently

[@nerdroom1972]

@@gsp where do you reckon your next trip will take you?

[@gsp]

There is a few vids scheduled to air but over Xmas I might go a bit further afield. I like trying places that don't get fished alot

[@p.k.omoochers9299]

We're is this place

Near the village of tonge👍
