Small Boat Fishing - South Coast - Spurdogs and Conger Eels - Warrior 165

[@alanevans4232]

Nice one Mark, thank you. good to see you well supplied with Scran and Nutty, got to keep your energy levels up. Brilliant Spurs.

[@seaangling]

I didn’t eat it all but it gave me a choice. I keep some stuff under one of the seats of the van along with my jetboil, coffee etc. Easily transferred between van and boat in a deep plastic tray.

Great session you had there mark nice spurs and a few good eels

[@seaangling]

The Spurs were the target and it’s always nice to achieve that. The eels were expected but not to that size. 👍🏻🎣🎣🎣

[@mrbrewbs]

Great video as always Mark. Thanks for sharing

[@seaangling]

Cheers 🎣🎣🎣🦈

[@flamintasty]

Adopts high pitched voice and says, “Spurdoggy in the boat!” 😂 That was a good watch. Cracking session, some nice fish there.

[@seaangling]

I missed a trick there. 😂 It did fish well given the time of year and there were other species available. The boat next door had various rays on sand eel and/or squid. That was Dave Collins and he filmed his session which is out on his channel. @thesolentwarrior

[@flamintasty]

@@seaanglingI’ll watch his video now. Cheers

[@seaangling]

@@flamintasty well worth a watch. 🎣👍🏻

[@garydonelan2679]

great catch with your spurdog

[@seaangling]

I was pretty chuffed as it was the target and a decent size. There are bigger out there. 🦈🎣👍🏻

[@chall9675]

Great fishing Mark and I’m glad you’re getting over the covid 👍🏻

[@seaangling]

Cheers buddy, thank you for the kind words and I am on the mend. 🎣🎣🎣👍🏻

[@fishingmediterraneo1417]

Complimenti amico mio , hai fatto una pesca incredibile , ogni pesce è stata una grande emozione 👏👏👏👏👏

[@seaangling]

E sempre bene catturare la tua specie bersaglio.

[@deansshootingandfishingham8275]

Some very nice fish there Mark well done great video 👍🎣🐟🐟🐟🐟

[@seaangling]

Glad you enjoyed it 🦈🎣👍🏻

[@ricktarrant7209]

Wow good session Mark . Never caught spur dog , my next mission. Keep it Reel. Take care

[@seaangling]

Scotland is meant to be good for them or back of the I.O.W this time of year.

[@ricktarrant7209]

@@seaangling my engines sick at moment got someone coming to check it out tomorrow so not been able to go out, missing it. What line are you useing on your trace as i nearly had one a couple of years back but as i went to net it cut the line.

[@seaangling]

@@ricktarrant7209 I’m either using 150lb mono or 60-80lb wire depending on brand. If I use wire which I didn’t on this occasion I only make a 12” bite trace and the rest mono.

[@ricktarrant7209]

@@seaangling Thanks Mark I'll give it a go .Take care

[@qualitytimefishing]

Great video, Couple of very nice fish Mark , Solent fishing for me was all small fish , Bass,Whiting ,Ray,Plaice ,but a good selection

[@seaangling]

Cheers buddy, I forgot to try out the DSC calling although with the island between us it might not have reached anyway.

[@chriskennard5920]

Saw you out there yesterday Mark and figured you'd do some good. Nice one! Funny how two rods become four - THEIR MULTPLYING!

[@seaangling]

We’re you on another boat at anchor or did we pass each other?

[@mikelong8898]

I think that the other boat at anchor was the Solent Warrior, he mentioned you in his vid. 👍

[@seaangling]

@@mikelong8898 I found out later that it was Dave Collins. I should have recognised the boat.

[@seaangling]

I was fishing the 2 x 30/50lb rods with heavy weights at the strongest part of the tide and added the 2 x 20/30lb rods with lighter weights as it eased. I do have the option to fish another 2 rods uptide from the radar arch if it is really slow going. 😉

[@thejinxeffect]

Excellent session, well done on getting the target species first go. Hope you feel back to normal soon.

[@seaangling]

I wanted to try a couple of weeks previous but fell ill with COVID. They only seem to appear here for a few weeks each year.

[@thejinxeffect]

Lucky to get out in time 👌

[@andycollings4302]

Nice spurs. I've had nearly all my spurs on smallish baits. As for scad as bait, it don't come much better. It's a brilliant bait. Hope the after affects of covid pass quickly.

[@seaangling]

Cheers buddy, very much appreciated. I’m only tuning into Scad as a bait this past couple of years and will certainly work harder to catch them in the future. I did a Bullhuss focus some time back and they love Scad. It’s a lot tougher than mackerel and stays together a lot better. I’m late to the party with Scad but it does work. 🦈🎣👍🏻

[@andycollings4302]

Yeah, huss really do like scad. Keep the videos coming

[@seaangling]

@@andycollings4302 my PB bullhuss fell to a scad bait.

[@stuartcrane9409]

What a great session Mark! Congratulations on your “Spurs” sorry to hear you’ve had Covid matey

[@seaangling]

All round not a bad session with me puffing around and the camera playing up.

[@kevinbuckler1085]

Always enjoy your trips,definitely rewarded with some great fish too. Hope the covid side effects go soon 🎣🐟🤞😷

[@seaangling]

The side effects have been a right pain but I’m sure they will ease. Some decent sized fish given the time of year and it kept me busy. 🎣🎣🎣👍🏻🦈

[@gazgazist]

Hi mark glad you're on the mend, only yesterday i checked your video's thinking i nust of missed 1 All the fish in the sea and you had to get the 1 that has been hooked b4 total madness 🤣. Stay safe bud !

[@seaangling]

It was a weird hook set where I think it had been foul hooked and then pressed into its cheek which is why there was some blood. I’m not keen on the stainless hooks as they do not degrade and stay put. It all turned out well in the end and I’m sure it will heal quick.

[@gazgazist]

@@seaangling I'm definitely with you regarding stainless hooks glad to see you out on the boat again pity i live so far from you be good to do some shore fishing . Glad to see you're getting over covid. Stay safe buddy !

[@seaangling]

@@gazgazist we are getting close to a change in season and some interesting species to chase from the shore. 🎣👍🏻

[@dannyfenton7060]

Nice going mate would love to come out fishing with you one day

[@seaangling]

Where are you based Danny?

[@Brian-mb9ez]

Cracking session Mark with some nice fish coming onboard, fantastic fishery and weather you have down there compared to the northeast cost of Scotland. Hope you don’t get the long covid I had the last time, it was five weeks of extreme fatigue hell far worse than the covid by a long shot. Wishing you a speedy recovery.

[@seaangling]

Cheers Brian, we do have some good variety here at South Central. I fear I may be set for some prolonged COVID this time round as it just keeps hanging on.

[@Richie3.3]

Always great videos from you mark… whether it’s from your boat (which this is the 1st one I’ve watched as I’m a shore angler) to the workshop ramblings! They are great! Keep them coming! 🎣🎣🎣

[@seaangling]

Thank you for the kind words. I have some exciting targets this year and will switch to some very specific shore species over the next few months. The workshop needs a tidy before I can film in there 😜

[@SolentAngler]

I'm new to your channel mark and enjoying it very much. Just had a couple of years layoff from the fishing but starting to get back to it now. your enthusiasm is rubbing off on me ! Those spurs are great aren't they ?

[@seaangling]

I must admit to not catching many Spurs and for the past couple of years they have eluded me. Nice to target and catch on this occasion and the Tope will soon be about in numbers.

[@ianturner3033]

Brilliant Mark 👏👏 Nice to see you back, and wishing you a full and speedy recovery.🥵 Target achieved, shame if that was a tope,🥺 but some nice fishing.🎣🎣🎣🎣 I enjoyed the video, as always, and I look forward to the rest in 2023. Good luck.🤞🤞 Take care and stay safe.😷🙊

[@seaangling]

Just the lasting effects of COVID which should pass. An unusually calm day for this time of year and a fishable tide for deep water. This 4-5 week window for the Spurs in this area passes quick when looking for a weather window. 🦈

[@shakyangler]

Well done on the targets species achieved. Just shows that fish will still feed with a hook still attached but ideally not great to have a hook left in the fish but well done on the removal of it.

[@seaangling]

I’m not a fan of the stainless steel hooks as they last a lot longer and this one had no mono left on it so been there a while. Nice to get it removed though. 🦈🎣👍🏻

[@mikelong8898]

Nice one Mark. Some good size fish there. Can't remember ever catching a Spurdog but that's far too far for me to go. Massive conga too, did you weigh it,is it a PB? 👏👍🎣

[@seaangling]

The Spurs visit this time of year for a few weeks and then disappear again. This was in about 95’ of water which they also seem to like. Conger was too big to weigh, lesson learnt though and I’ll have to carry a strong bag/sack on the boat.
