Glad I found this channel.. Awesome work and can you beat that for a day??.. Nice one 👌🏼

[@TheReelIsle]

Love reading comments like yours, thank you so much! It was a stunning day. I've another Tope video uploading as we speak :)

@@TheReelIsle looking forward to this and many more 🫡

Good work fella, lovely tope. I got some nice ones out off the warts this summer, out from the sound.

[@TheReelIsle]

Hi mate thank you. Haven't fished wart bank all that much but would like to give it a go down that way!

[@ScruffyOldJimbo]

Would defo recommend for tope certainly mate. If you take the Sib down to Port St Mary and launch there it's not a long steam to get there. Basically imagine you've just come through the sound from Port Erin side with calf and sound roughly same distance either side and keep going in a straight line, and after a little while if you had a sounder you'd see the ground coming up fast beneath then dropping down again as you cross over it. I have marks to line up for it also but can't recall without actually being out there sorry! :D@@TheReelIsle

[@TheReelIsle]

No problem mate thanks, I've fished the banks before put never for tope - I will give them a go though! They're very clear on the Navionics app - worth downloading if you don't have it mate.

[@ScruffyOldJimbo]

Cheers, yeah I remembered actually they do show on my chart as I got a nice new garmin echomap this summer that included charts. Tight lines anyway and look forward to more content, didn't manage to get any this year to stick on channel as it was mostly working on rebuilding outboard and not actually gettin out there much. Hopefully next summer get some boat and drone footage with a bit of marine wildlife if I'm lucky!

[@TheReelIsle]

Enjoy mate!

Nice size mackerel that 8:17 👍🏼 just like the one the Mrs had on our last session

[@TheReelIsle]

Aye It gave me a shock in truth, don't see them they like too often

[@frompooltopoolefishing6716]

@@TheReelIsle especially when compared to another sized one makes you realise how big it is. Hopefully plenty more that size to come

[@ryanferris7841]

Holy crap that Mackerel 👀

[@TheReelIsle]

Had some corkers this year!

[@eddie6349]

Nice video mate 💪😊 What kind of fishing gear do you use?

[@TheReelIsle]

Thanks mate! 12-20lb Ugly Stik gx2 with a slosh20

[@fishingwithandyloble]

Great video. Is that a 360 camera at the front and back of the SIB. Would be great to see.

[@TheReelIsle]

It's an Insta360 X3, and I've a railblaza port at the front seat and the transom, and I just switch it over depending on the sun angle and side of the boat with the action

[@Celtichunter2434]

Hi , great video, what jacket you wearing I like it

[@TheReelIsle]

Hi, thank you. The suit I was wearing at the start is a Typhoon Max B dry suit. The life jacket is a Seago

[@nigel5755]

Do you ever eat the Tope that you catch?

[@TheReelIsle]

Nope, always safely returned back to the water. Strictly barbless hooks and minimal time out of the water.

[@kylejordan6654]

Where you anchored then or drift?

[@TheReelIsle]

Drifting - anchor line being one less thing to worry about.
