UK Boat Fishing. South Coast wrecking with Lures and Jigging.

A day out boat fishing in February 2016. Wrecking off South Devon. Fishing from my Warrior 175 with lures and jigs at around the 20 mile range at 50+ metres deep, perfect conditions especially for February. Several Pollack to around 11lb ....this time.

[@waynesworldfishing]

[@james-pn1zu]

Great fishing and good tune !:) I do wreck fishing in my boat off the coast of Northumberland, I mainly catch 10+LB cod on a all black shad. just a tip :)

[@bahadirdogan6208]

Grzegorz Jacek cheers 👍

[@Crooks103]

Nice single handed launch at the beginning

[@mattforrestersilverhalocha629]

Thanks...its quite easy with the Warrior. Bit trickier with the Cheetah!

[@amblenortheastfishermen2619]

Grat video good fishing mate some nice pollock 👍🏻

[@johnweighell7725]

That’s Teignmouth, used to have mooring there but didn’t ever do that well with the fishing

[@mattforrestersilverhalocha629]

Yes Teignmouth. I now run from Torquay 👍

Hi Matt, Love the video, makes me jealous.Ive just had my trailer back from the Galvanisers and would like some info of the slipway, location , cost, 24hr water, parking etc. Ive got a19 ft Wilson flyer and getting bored of my local fishing and would like to try something new so local knowledge would be appreciated, thanks

[@mattforrestersilverhalocha629]

Hi Adrian, slipway is beside the main commercial dock and is free to use. Parking for car and trailer is about £12-15 a day I think. I normally get a year permit. Can be busy at weekends so get there early. Big tidal rip at times. Its a bit shallow 1 hour either side of big low tides. Inshore bassing and cod n pollack on the wrecks.

[@toadfishuksportangling2690]

Classic light tackle fishing aboard your own vessel. Does it get any better.

[@mattforrestersilverhalocha629]

not really Robert, cant get enough!

[@stephenturner6810]

Great vid mate.

[@mattforrestersilverhalocha629]

Stevo ! Cheers Stevo. Ive a new boat and charter business now, running out of Torquay, South Devon... did you see the other vids and links?

[@pocallaghan5199]

Thank you

[@hammerz73]

How do you find towing and launching the 175 with the Transporter and what engine/drivetrain is it? (edit: I guess this is a did question looking at your other vids)

[@mattforrestersilverhalocha629]

Hi Louis, the VW is fine. Front wheel drive 2.0 litre turbo diesel with 140 bhp. Can spin up on the slipway though so not ideal if its weedy or a very low tide.

[@hammerz73]

@@mattforrestersilverhalocha629 Thanks for the reply, I've the equivalent T6 and I'm thinking of a 165, so a little lighter. I'll be sure to exercise caution and common sense on the slip. PS. I liked the music! :)

[@mattforrestersilverhalocha629]

@@hammerz73 thanks, yes you will be fine with either. Take a mate with you a few times atleast and think ahead should you get stuck!! Good luck.

Love the Nookie tune

Oh yes ❤

[@johnjohnson1361]

top vid and tunes

[@jonnyy4088]

Pollack's my favourite fish to eat.Delicious.

[@mattforrestersilverhalocha629]

jonnyy40 yes its not too bad is it. Fried with butter and lemon, perfect!

[@johnjohnson1361]

what rods are they please

[@mattforrestersilverhalocha629]

I say what they are in the text on the video mate

[@chriswhite904]

Hi mate what make of light is it on your radar arch facing forward ?

[@mattforrestersilverhalocha629]

Hi Chris, Im afraid I cannot remember the make of that I bought it many years ago! I know it had LEDs in it and was pretty good. I got it online so it may of come from Force 4 Chandlry but I cant be sure, sorry about that!

[@mattforrestersilverhalocha629]

those two tanks are spare. Ive also changed my inboard ally tank for a plastic 103litre tank. On a really nice day with a good forecast for the next day as well we sometimes go 50-60mile out so need those extra tanks. Ive got another one too lol!

[@kevinwilkinson4688]

Matt can you please tell me at a rough guess how much are these warriors going for ,

[@mattforrestersilverhalocha629]

Kevin Wilkinson hi Kev. Cheapedt 175 are about 11000. New they are 25k ish. There is a facebook group its the best place to have a look. Hope that helps, regards Matt

[@jonathanpope81]

Thanks.

[@EUAngler]

Hi mate awesome video! I have question how much it cost to have a boat and what do you need to have? Any licence or permits to fish the sea?

[@I.have.an.std.]

I wouldn’t spend less then a 2 grand for a decent boat. Are old boat was 300£ and was total crap. We got a new one for 6k much better! You might want a rod license but I seriously doubt anyone will be checking for them 20 miles out to sea.

[@bahadirdogan6208]

Do you have to put anchor when you get to wreck?

[@mattforrestersilverhalocha629]

No I never anchor, always drift

[@bahadirdogan6208]

@@mattforrestersilverhalocha629 but when you drift in couple minutes you will be away from wreck?? So what do you do do you always reposition?

[@mattforrestersilverhalocha629]

Yes, always moving the boat back ahead of the structure, drop the lines down and approach it, fish then back around

[@roeno6931]

How saiz boat sir ???

[@Timesend]

Awesome

[@majrafishing]

Nice

[@fishingmad6593]

I see you launch from Polly steps. Which wreck were you fishing or is it top secret?. :-)

[@mattforrestersilverhalocha629]

I fish loads of wrecks and most have fish a lot of the time, take your pick!.

[@SeagodWolf]

what's the boat make and model?

[@mattforrestersilverhalocha629]

Its a Warrior 175, 2001 with a mariner 80EFI on the back. Especially clean as its always trailered and kept out the dirt.

[@pocallaghan5199]

hi bud good vid, any hassle towing her with the t5?

[@mattforrestersilverhalocha629]

p o callaghan hi there. The T5 140hp is fine with a 175 with a braked trialer. Id defo recommend keeping the back of the boat as light as possible. Any tackle or fuel tanks should be kept in the back of the T5 or the front of the boat. Extra weight far back will get it weaving...especially going down hill! All in all its pretty ok. I have Ranger 3.2 Auto now and its worlds apart. I even tow my new 7.9m cheetah with it, thats 3.5 tonne with the trailer!

[@21wilks]

Would have been good if the “quadrant park” house specials want playing I like this music but there’s a time and a place .

[@richiestack2857]

Send him on a list of acceptable songs that suit you there so he can make sure all his videos appeal to your taste. 🙄

[@Maranatha14]

'Want' playing!

[@21wilks]

@@Maranatha14 i think we all no our phones predict tx at times . Let's grow up on that. I just think the vid would be better without the music

[@21wilks]

@@richiestack2857 are we fishing or clubbing

[@matthewagnew7835]

suppose I could turn it down if you don't mind me asking what is with the 2 fuel tanks I thought the 175 had a 92 litre fuel tank

[@mattforrestersilverhalocha629]

sorry Matthew I posted a reply to your question but its actually above further up the page^^^.

[@benjaminhampton4780]

what are the two set-ups on the left at the end of the video? thanks for posting, i love the video

[@mattforrestersilverhalocha629]

benjamin hampton those are the light jigging setups I was using in the video mate. The gear is named in the vid. The rods are by Temple Reef and Jigstar. The reels where Wiki Jigging and Okuma.

[@benjaminhampton4780]

Matt Forrester thanks very much, I must have missed it

[@bhaktiraigaonkar5842]

#barrahunter has great tips for indian fishing

[@abdul-hadidadkhah1459]

I do hope youre keeping the fish and not throwing them back. Theyre all dead if you are throwing them back.

[@mattforrestersilverhalocha629]

Hi thanks for the comment. If theyre coming up slowly from 35 to 50m theyre usually fine. I do keep most though.

[@glockeva1]

good fishing video....but that music hurts!

[@ralphcostello7990]

good video BUT not good on the music is so boring, i hope you do not mind me saying that ? 😁

[@mattforrestersilverhalocha629]

no worries, cant please everyone lol

[@seanohora4412]

A 175 with an 80hp way to underpowered i have a 140hp and i think i need a 150hp

[@matthewagnew7835]

Great video next time leave out the music

[@mattforrestersilverhalocha629]

I like the music, just turn the sound down?

[@Pr0ject2]
