Slow Jig Fishing Lands Donkey 15lb+ Pollack On Inshore Wreck

Slow jig fishing is the ultimate way to land good fish over wrecks and reefs. Light gear and fishing direct to the lure with no added weight or booms etc it's just so much fun.
Screaming reels here on this one as on a short trip to take the boat round to Simpson Marine over in Newhaven for Ez Livings annual service we hit a few wrecks on the way with lures and jigs and snatched ourselves some lovely fish including an absolute Donkey weighing in at over 15lb. Not quite a PB but a stunning fish non the less and on an inshore wreck too which is lovely for this area of Sussex.

Nice work Ben, monster fish to keep us inspired gotta get out on the wrecks.

[@theamputeeangler]

It’s that feeling of not knowing what’s out there and hitting you next that keeps me going! How many monster Bass or Turbot etc do we steam over each trip and not have a clue about I always wonder!

[@latss9334]

Glad you can have fun catching and targeting pollock.

[@saltwaterjunky607]

Great little session and a cracking Pollack, I do love my slow jigging and very much looking forward to getting out on the wrecks again soon 👍

[@theamputeeangler]

Thank you! I’m hoping to have another crack this weekend if the weather holds for us here!

[@richardgould240]

[@theamputeeangler]

[@simonknox5580]

Well done mate on ya pb. Mega excited fishing a new wreck & why we love sea angling. 🤙

[@theamputeeangler]

Thanks mate, it fell short of the PB but I thought it was knocking close but a great fish either way!

[@trevorgodfrey4431]

Brilliant one Ben 👍. Nice to see that decent Pollock are back on the inshore wrecks. Can't wait to get out there again. Regards Trevor

[@theamputeeangler]

@@trevorgodfrey4431 Thank you Trevor, this year has been awesome on the Pollack we have had more doubles to the boat this year already than last year and no sign of stopping so fingers crossed we see some more lovely fish to the boat!

[@theamputeeangler]

Cheers buddy really appreciate it 👌🏻

[@kevinbuckler1085]

You were right there, what a donkey of a pollack. Can’t believe you’re taking your boat out of the water this time of year 😂😂🤦‍♂️🐟🎣

[@theamputeeangler]

@@kevinbuckler1085 I fish all through winter mate chasing these and big Bass so it makes no difference to me, was done and back in the water within a week anyway just in time for my newborn baby to arrive 🙏🏻 All timed perfectly 😃 But yeah big chunky fish this one and went lovely on the light gear 🎣

[@aaronwest3004]

[@tonypetras7356]

Ben, great footage, love being able to see the entire rod and watching the hits. Good stuff!

[@theamputeeangler]

Thank you mate, I have been working on getting the angles better to catch all that once last time you mentioned it mate and I have cracked it now unless I come out in a rush or knock it! Thanks for watching mate as always 🙌🏻

[@tonypetras7356]

What is the slow jigging rod you use in the video, Ben?

[@theamputeeangler]

@tonypetras7356 it’s a custom build one mate that John in the vid with me built me 👌🏻bloody nice it is

[@richardjarvis4968]

Awesome Ben Magnificent Fish Catching fish like that, you ought to take your boat for a service every Month.🤣🤣Great video.👍

[@theamputeeangler]

Thanks mate. Proper nice to get a fish of this quality on our summer inshore wrecks these ones are normally a deep offshore winter type fish so yeah made up with this. Thanks for watching ☺️

[@TheBassRacer]

Another great trip💪👌 lots of could spots between them ports

[@theamputeeangler]

Yeah we are blessed with lots of little lumps and bumps around here between those two arnt we. Looking forward to your next vid mate

[@TheBassRacer]

We are lucky, just posted video

[@SuperIdyll]

Cracking pollack quality sport 👍

[@theamputeeangler]

Thank you! 🙏🏻

[@Brian-mb9ez]

You looked quietly happy that he lost that first fish, you came back well with the donkey pollack well done, a good day on the water

[@theamputeeangler]

I’m never happy when anyone loses fish but it’s a case of we laugh or we cry sometimes and i assure you the same happens when I lose one 😂 The digging doesn’t stop all day 😅

[@johnnguyen3468]

I laugh when we get those crash dives, we can't stop it, just watching the faces after is priceless😅

[@MuscleFishingOfficial]

That rod action is pure magic! Hooked direct aswel, just you and the fish! Epic fight that one. Nice one!

[@theamputeeangler]

Those Pollack and Bass we had at the start of the year were great but this was something else and only in 80ft of water 🙏🏻 Proper enjoyable

[@Roberto-et2tb]

Awesome fish Ben but I think the one John lost was bigger 😁😁

[@johnnguyen3468]

So do I, but it's always the one that got away that gets us coming back for more

[@theamputeeangler]

Haha oh we know…we will get it next time round it’s ok 😂

[@StephenBurfield]

what a fish, well done Ben

[@theamputeeangler]

Thank you 🙏🏻

[@ryanferris7841]

What a fish! Unreal they don’t get any bigger than 3 pound in my area for some reason

[@theamputeeangler]

What’s mad here is a mate had a 17lb fish to his boat a few weeks after on live baits 😅

[@ryanferris7841]

@@theamputeeangler I’m jealous lol
