Tope Fishing in North Wales - Searching Out New Marks

Since I've become a toping expert recently my mate Andy has been begging me to take him along and try to catch a decent sized one. The weather looked decent so we loaded the van up with gear and blasted over to Wales for a couple of days......
Thanks for watching!!

Great video as always, I'm glad my part of the world did you guys proud.

Absolutely love it Richard! Only problem is I’m really neglecting the mountains and getting very fat! 🤣🤣

[@TheOutdoorswithTonyNoble]

Another belter...cracking location too - top watch as ever 👍👍 - T🙂

[@mboutdoors_uk]

Cheers Tony! Getting a bit fat neglecting the mountains though with all this chilling at the coast 🤪

[@explorewithlloydi]

that was so much fun to watch, but wow what a catch

[@mboutdoors_uk]

The tope are really in at the moment, been very lucky to catch some good ones! 🙏🏼

[@thatsabite]

That walk is a killer 😂 New video about to drop

[@lesdaniels9897]

Great video!Fished the second spot{Belan} a few years ago.We were drifting for bass using live launce,kept getting smash ed by tope.Only about five yards from the shore!!Cheers.

[@mboutdoors_uk]

Good to know mate! We’ll definitely try it again on a more conducive tide 🤣

[@merseypirates]

Hi lads we’re about is this mark if you don’t mind sharing,keep the videos coming

[@johnbarrott9857]

Nice video bud, just subbed 👍

[@dylanthomas1778]

Alright buddy in north Wales ATM chasing the toothy critters any marks you could share got a few options but not alot of time any help would be great cheers awesome videos watched the one of Anglesey aswell

[@mboutdoors_uk]

Hi mate. Send me a message on Instagram and I’ll help as best I can 😎

[@thatsabite]

Thay last spot has just ruined me today too, i tried 😅

[@mawky1]

How do you go about picking your rock marks - deep water with good tidal run? It didn't seem like there was much run off the first mark. Also what hooks and rig set up do you use?

[@mboutdoors_uk]

Its very much trial and error at the moment with picking marks. Google Earth and picking rock areas that are protruding into the sea is a good bet as any. I've been very lucky dropping on a couple of marks that are producing tope, plus the locals have been very helpful. Now I've caught a few I'll stick a couple of rigs in my next vid, but basically just simple pulley rigs 👍

[@mawky1]

Yeah I've been using the same approach on the Lleyn and on Angelsey but no luck yet - travelling from Cumbria so it's difficult as you well know. I've been at it for 18 months now and will keep trying. Lots of variables aswell - Wind, tide, mark etc. Suppose if it was easy then everybody would be doing it.😂😂

[@mboutdoors_uk]

@@mawky1 it’s challenging for sure. You watch vids on KZbin and it looks all sunshine and tope! 🤣 What you don’t see is the cost of fuel and driving for hours, getting to marks and it being unfishable, the punishing weather at times…. Still, it makes the catches all the more of an achievement. If you want to message me on Insta I’ll ping you a couple of likely areas 😉

[@mawky1]

That'd be great thanks. I'll do ot through my daughters insta account - I'm a bit of and fossil when it comes to Social media as I spend all day on a laptop and phone with general work so try to avoid all the other stuff like fb etc. Whatsapps about my limit 🤣🤣

[@mawky1]

tried to contact on insta but message failing to send. I'll keep trying tomorrow.

[@jamesberry2229]

did that small bass take that live mackerel?

[@mboutdoors_uk]

Yeah! We had a few more takes on the live baits as well but failed to hook up any more bass unfortunately 🎣

[@BeneathTheWavesFishingJersey]
