Kayak Fishing for Cod with a New Technique | UK Kayak Fishing

[@TheFishLocker]

Great video mate. Good to see you in the warm weather kayak gear. Always makes me chuckle watching folks paddling like a lunatic in a full drysuit. You’re as likely to pass out from heat stroke. You’d be like a boil in a bag chicken. 🤣🤣 Life jacket, vhf radio and common sense. ✅✅✅

[@alanoliver5378]

I beg to differ John, my mate fish locker, this lad is fit as a lop, I'm 60 now mate, I go out on me kayak, full dry suit, pfd, a rubber ring and inflatable wings, I go commando, so never sweat that much, but I float like a Cork if I come off 🤣🤣 I wanna see me granddaughter get married, nowt wrong with over dressing out at sea, 👍😉

[@davedawson9851]

Eyup Nathan. It wouldn't be Slippy without the need for some cheerfulness in adversity. Nice turn around there fella. I had beautiful Wrasse and average Pollock in NW this weekend on a small Sluggo and cheb. Parked up and spotted a rod in the car park and wondered if you'd been there 🙂then noticed it was a dodgy old Shakespeare item and so not yours. This afternoon I found myself in the midst of a family of five Ravens who were happy to divest me of my steamed cockle snacks that I'd foraged the other day. It turns out there actually was a nest near my (possible?) new mark and the chicks have now fledged successfully.🙂🙂 I'll sithi after, Dave.

[@SlippyLimpets]

Alreet Dave, you know me, not a good session without laughing at some bad luck. Glad tou've had a good one in NW and I've carried Sluggos around with me for years but never caught on them, so good going! Tight lines!

[@adztaylor2277]

Some nice Codling there bud. A good lesson to the people who are watching, things can go so wrong very quickly at sea. As you had with you, a radio is a must. Mobiles should never be relied on. Glad you got back safe. Interesting session. You just never know!...Tight lines.

[@SlippyLimpets]

Must admit, I wasn't prepared for that breakage, just happy I was able to rely on past experience/training. You're right about the mobile a radio and I even carry a bilge pump, but a spare paddle will be included in that safety equipment from now on. Thanks and tight lines👍🎣

[@JW-wp1qt]

That was quite a session, a relief to see you get back to dry land, I’d call that video oarsome. 😊

[@SlippyLimpets]

Haha, very good😂 wish I had a decent reply for you, but I can't think of anything snappy enough

[@FOXY-2023]

First half of video I was saying I wish he'd tether that paddle lol I would have panicked more than you but carried on as you did haha. I always think we're making memories either way . Tight lines

[@SlippyLimpets]

Haha, got to ake the most out ofbour available sessions. Leashes are a bit of conundrum, I don't really like them, since they tangle you up if you tip, but they do save you from losing tackle. Either way, I'll definitely be carrying a spare split paddle from now one. Tight lines👍🎣

Another great video, and that's why I put a motor on the back of my yak lol, when you get to my age everything can break 😄 you were always in control mate, there's alot of small cod around there great sport!!

[@SlippyLimpets]

I've had a motor sitting in my garage for 8 years now. Maybe it's time I break it out and get it attached. Thanks Steve and tight lines🤞🎣

[@Oli.Brown.]

You’re having a nightmare on the yak of late, first rods now paddles. They always say bad things come in 3….best make a prayer to the fish gods! In between Seahouses and around the Farnes I believe, are some of the strongest currents and rips on the coast. Hard work slogging against the tide, but good for the fishing. Even in the height of summer, it’s almost always quiet off there. Good to see the codling back. I did see a load of birds working the other day, bodes well for the summer. Cheers

[@SlippyLimpets]

I didn't show it in the vid, but the zip on my drypants broke as well, so hopefully that's those 3 out of the way and I can save some cash! There were what seemed to be shoals of sand eels on the sonar so things should be on the move shortly. 🤞

[@freespeech-advocate]

my paddle snapped last wk aswell , nightmare, especially when your in a strong tide pushing you out. new paddle and clean pair of trunks ordered😂 you live and learn.

Nice session with cod (don't you eat them) don't tell the Trawler men lol

Great watch that although a little squeaky bum with the paddle! It's clear you know your stuff and had radio etc. I had a scary experience on my kayak just a moulded number. I was totally at the mercy of the tide one of the biggest of the year nearly 10 meters! Ended up in a race and going backwards! Got in safely eventually. Opened my eyes being an experienced surfer and very fit! Loved a couple of those claw takes thing it was the 2nd one pulling the rod straight over the side quality

[@SlippyLimpets]

It's easy to get caught out by a strong tide, glad you got back OK. Yeah, some of those takes were savage, I reckon there was probably a bit of competition down there given what the sounder looked like. , either that they really wanted that craw! Tight lines👍🎣

more interested in what you wear for going out in the kayak, could you give us a breakdown of that too please

[@SlippyLimpets]

When the weather is good, like on this trip, I use dry pants and have a dry cag handy just in case the weather craps out. If the weather is bad then I'll wear a drysuite. Underneath those I wear either Marino wool base layers in cold weather or some polyester ones in the warmer conditions. Marino wool socks and running shoes on my feet. Hope this helps👍🎣

[@daddyfixit5188]

I broke an aluminium paddle in half whilst rescuing 3 school children out of a kayak group in the surf I had to palm the broken end to get to them quickly. All were saved but got a bloody hand 😁. I was just waiting for the goon stroke when you broke yours. No gooning from u a man who knows. Great vid. Painful as it is you get to buy a new paddle bet u had those for a few years 👍👍👍👍

[@SlippyLimpets]

A bloody hand seems like a small price to pay considering the situation you were in, good going!. No gooning for me, gunnels are too low and having no top handle meant it was standard J stroke for me😂 aye that paddle was at least 10 years old so good excuse for a new one. Tight lines👍🎣

[@SlippyLimpets]

I'm not sure I would have laughed too much either 😉 Since posting this vid I've heard of a few people breaking things, guess it could be karma balancing out the good fishing. BTW, I heard wasabi covered tinned sardines fed to the seals scare them off as well

Yeah stuff just seems to be breaking at the moment, even bust the zip on my dry pants😂 it makes sense fish would take these lures but haven't seen all that many people using them in the sea, especially from yaks. Seems they ove them though

I wish ours were a little stricter because the population has dwindled over the years, but maybe not as strict as yours.

[@darrenrodd.]

Exactly why I use a peddle drive much easier and you have a paddle as a back up, I have 2 of the same rods awesome for the money, only thing that annoys me with them is the line always wraps around the top of the rod and 1st eye, so constantly have to check it

[@SlippyLimpets]

I don't reall get that problem, bu my only issue is the the eyes aren't spaced for a baitcaster or small multi

[@chrisdavison2022]

Not far from the point, there a shelf that makes the sea 'boil' when the tides running.... Must be a height difference of around 20ft, just being near it can produce a good day. And in the bay, there's a kelp covered 'plateau' with big drops on all sides giving good fishing too. 😎

Maybe the fish disappearing coincided with the seal. It may have been there for a while before you spotted it. Well done not freaking out when your paddle broke. Maybe go upmarket for the next one?

[@SlippyLimpets]

Could well be right about the seal but like i said in the vid, that sort of shoal seem to be there one minute and gone the next. You can sometimes track them down again but not with one paddle! I acquired that paddle 2nd hand about 10 years ago, so who knows what a tough life it's had before I got a hold of it but you could be right there, and definitely a split paddle stored in the hull from now on.

I'll be taking 2 paddles from now one😂 I normally use Fiiish as well but though I'd try something new and cheaper! Seemsnit paid off 😂

Just had a quick look at you're store, T shirts, 23.00, how many do I get, can I sell them on at a profit, and in turn spread the slippy limpet word,?

[@SlippyLimpets]

Definitely should get a couple of hundred 😃

[@alanoliver5378]

I baught a killers Tshirts signed by Brendon flowers for 15 quid? I kid you not, you impress me as much as a pop star, seriously you remind me of a young me, get Christmas out the way, I'll buy some of you're stuff, you ever done free fall?

[@markhodgson1251]

What rod are you using?

[@SlippyLimpets]

It's a Rovex intergra gold 6ft kayak rod. Best 20 quid I've spent!

Great video mate, what time of the year was this and what where you using to fish with, I looked like a fake shrimp? Just got into Kayak fishing and there is some really rocky ground just near me. The ground is large rocks quite close together, apart from spinning what would you recommend how to fish?

[@SlippyLimpets]

Shot this vid at the end of April and the lure was a Zman Punch crawz 3.5 inch, rigged on a 4/0 weedless hook and a 30 or 40g cheb weight. If the ground you're describing is 3 or 4 metres of water, or deeper, then fishing vertically would be a good shout, you won't snag up as much. Hope this helps

How much did your kayak cost you? I’m looking at getting one and the one you use looks perfect

[@Chazie_]

I’ll buy different paddles 😂🤣

[@SlippyLimpets]

I think I paid around 600 quid, but that was about 10 years ago. They're a bit more expensive but worth the cash, good warranty and designed for use in NZ so work great here.

[@SlippyLimpets]

Haha, yeah, go for Werner paddles

[@billblake9752]

thought a real one would have been smashed up by the amount of cod you caught

[@SlippyLimpets]

A real one would but even the plastic version was pretty smashed up after hooking those cod
