UK Sea Fishing - Pensarn Beach - Holfs Sea Fishing

Another great video. 👍. Quick question……….can I blanch yellow tails/blow lug the same way you do the blacks? Thank you. 🐟🐟

[@holfsseafishing]

Hi there, a really good question and something I really should of addressed somewhat a little in the video, apologies. You can blanch black/yellow tails no problem at all. 👍🏻 The worms you can't blanch are I think what most call blow {I actually call these Sinkys} these are the worms that tend to have quite large very untidy casts with a disc shape in the sand a few inches or so away from the cast. These worms are much more watery and I suspect far to delicate for blanching. Hope that helps. Tight lines. 🎣🎣

[@tollesbury1]

@ Thank you. 👍🐟🐟

Nice to see the blank saver come out for your mate,Holf looking forward to your next adventure. I’ve subbed so I don’t miss it

[@holfsseafishing]

Hi there, absolutely couldn't agree with you more... 😀. Arguably just a dab but I couldn't really tell you who was more chuffed to see that dab... Me or Steve. 😂 Thank you for subbing... Nice to know people are enjoying the videos. 👍🏻 Who knows what the next adventure may bring. 🙈 Tight lines! 🎣🎣

Hy Holf another good video mate,never fished Pensarn but anywhere is worth ago,I’m off to buy some paperclips today a really good idea never good to deep hook fish,,makin some rigs up later might add some colourful beads to the paper clip for added attraction you never know?🤔anyway keep up the good work tightlines cheers Gary,👍🎣☃️

[@holfsseafishing]

Hi there Gary, yes those paperclips for me certainly when fishing for flounder/plaice are a no brainier... So simple, so effective and basically cost pennies. 👍🏻 As for adding beads to the paperclip, sounds like a winner to me for sure. Thank you for your comment. 😊 Tight lines 🎣🎣

[@scotlandforagingandfishing]

Well done for the persistence, it paid of for you. Me and my fishing Buddy are having te same experience. One of us is catching most of the fish with similar rigs and bait, fishing right next to each other. Tight lines for the next session.

[@holfsseafishing]

Hi again, thank you, yes persevering is often key to finding some fish. You'd be amazed how many times I've seen anglers wander off a beach because very little is happening, for things to then start to improve. 👍🏻 And isn't it amazing how that happens when fishing with a buddy. 🙈. Very tight lines! 🎣🎣

[@david892006]

Lovely video. I'm with you on the rescue dogs, we have 2 Romanian, Both very different characters and as you say , very clever. Mine often accompany me on my videos in the warmer weather 👍

[@holfsseafishing]

Hi there, many thanks. 👍🏻 That's great to read, there are so many dogs out there just waiting to be rescued. All the very best to you and Tight Lines. 🎣

[@davelar3868]

Pension never was my favourite beach to hit and miss will keep an eye out for you in the future

[@holfsseafishing]

Hi there, yes agreed, Pensarn can indeed be a bit hit and miss. Just nice to get out and have a go though to be fair. 😊 Ultimately though for somewhere like Pensarn it's all about conditions..... Fish some nice surfy days/nights and it usually helps. 👍🏻 Tight lines. 🎣

[@ogstopper]

I caught my first two flounders (Thames Estuary) on the paper-clip rig today! Perfectly lip-hooked!!!! Thank you!

[@holfsseafishing]

Hi there, that is absolutely brilliant to read! It is so satisfying to see them lip hooked like that. 👍🏻 Well done for giving it a try, please do share the method with other anglers on the beach if you get the chance. Tight lines. 🎣🎣

[@dipit247]

Well done guys and thanks for the fab video, and you’re right the Dab is very tasty fish.. enjoy 😋

[@holfsseafishing]

Hi there, thank you, our pleasure. 👍🏻 And yes, dab is in my opinion anyway a highly under rated fish, very tasty. Just need a couple ideally to make a decent meal and your all set. 🍴🤤 Tight lines 🎣

[@richardjones2811]

Just come back from Pensarn (Local Beach) and only one flounder tonight but Friday it was fish after fish even though it was minus 2 at 4pm. Best rig I've found for there is a new one to me, called the running Paternoster.

[@holfsseafishing]

Hi there, isn't it just amazing how differently a place can fish from one day to the next. 🤔 A decent evening to be out and a fish to save the blank, I'll take that anytime but especially this time of year. 👍🏻 And I'll take a look into that rig. Thank you. Tight lines. 🎣.

[@richardjones2811]

@@holfsseafishing Have you ever tried Flounder? It too is very sweet tasting just like Dab. I too am amazed how differently somewhere can fish from day to day but there's a reason for it, many variables to take into account.

[@holfsseafishing]

Actually no, I've never tried flounder as I was always told it can have a muddy type tinge to it. Not sure how true that is though. 🙈☺️ That being said, many, many years ago my grandad would bring quite a few "fluke" home and give them to many in the community who just loved them. 👍🏻. As for the many variables, yes there can be quite a few. But for a start, most important of them all for a chosen venue in my humble opinion anyway, is conditions, conditions and conditions. 😬 Tight lines 🎣🎣

[@richardjones2811]

@@holfsseafishing Muddy is definitely a term I wouldn't use to describe the taste of fresh Fluke. I thoroughly recommend you try and if it's muddy then I'll personally send you a money reward as an apology haha. Night off tonight as it's far too windy left to right along the North Wales coast. Tomorrow it's dying down a little so it'll be wet lines again. Full moon and big tides at the moment, need to take advantage.

[@holfsseafishing]

😂 You have now tweeted my curiosity... I shall try a fluke before the year is out. 🤔 Good luck if you do get out! 👍🏻 Tight lines! 🎣🎣

[@The-Badger1127]

Cheers Holf. Wasnt the easiest of sessions ive done but was good to get onto a new beach thankfully i was saved on that last cast!! Definitely convinced walking away with a blank... 😅

[@holfsseafishing]

Hi Ste, no worries at all. Honestly and genuinely, that really was a difficult trip out for us. But perseverance and keeping those baits refreshed is key. Well done! 👍🏻 By the way that dab was very tasty.😋 Tight lines. 🎣
