Hi Stio, always appreciate your comments mate, and yeah the rocks were rather bloody slippy 😂 could have been worse I suppose, Thanks for the comment hope fishing is well on your end 🤘🏻🎣

[@9suuupersonic]

Brilliant again sir hopefully your knee is feeling better

[@theanglingfront]

Thanks mate, always appreciate your feedback, and my knee is getting better, still can’t believe I slipped 😂 it was hilarious and in agony at the same time 😆 Extreme fishing I suppose 😀

[@BarneyTrent]

Most enjoyable! Blimey it actually looked cold too. Hope your knee isn’t too sore 👍🏼

[@theanglingfront]

Thanks Harry, and yeah knee is slowly recovering thankfully 😀🤘🏻🎣

[@lewisbidgood1549]

Great video mate, hope the knees not to bad. Lovely content

[@theanglingfront]

Thanks Lewis, always appreciate your comments mate, and the knee is tender but it’s ready for the next session 🤘🏻🎣 hopefully we will get out soon together again 👌

[@anotherangleUK]

Ouch, I felt that when you slipped over. Good session for this time of the year. Well done, thanks for sharing.

[@theanglingfront]

Thanks mate, and it was sore 😂😂 appreciate your comment 🤘🏻🎣

[@andrewmaccallum2367]

I only just discovered your channel... May i say, it's excellent.. keep up your great work 🎣👍 Btw, have you tried fly fishing for the Lythe ..it takes some beating excitement-wise!

[@theanglingfront]

Hi Andrew, thank you, I really appreciate that, and I haven’t attempted fly fishing for them yet 😂😂 I bet that is awesome, I will need to add this to the bucket list

[@colmcc-ij3nn]

Love your vids Great man 😊

[@theanglingfront]

Thanks mate always appreciate your comments, 🤘🏻🎣

[@whitetroutchannel]

nice one mate on those pollock on lrf gear, i smashed my knee on a iron fence last day of the trout season so youve my deepest sympathies there, good man too on not goin at the seatrout, i know a lot of lesser anglers that cant leave them be, takes a true sportsman to observe the rules mate 👍👍

[@theanglingfront]

Thanks WTC always appreciate your feedback, and nothing worse than injuries when your trying to get fishing done, as for the sea trout, it was amazing to watch them on the surface, was surprised with how many were still lurking about during the winter?

[@whitetroutchannel]

@@theanglingfront funny how they show up like mad mate when your not lookin them isnt it lol! did you ever try any of those crawfish style lures for the wrasse mate ive seen boys gettin a few with them but id share your view much better a couple of kingrag on the hook!! lol

[@theanglingfront]

@@whitetroutchannel 😂 So true mate, and for the crawfish style I have used them but it was years ago, should definitely give them a crack, I seen one Ballan wrasse that day pretty good size and yet my lures had no affect on them what so ever 😂 maybe I need to try those crab / crawfish patterns again mate

[@whitetroutchannel]

@@theanglingfront westin make a good 1 mate, they like those little shrimp from the rockpools 2 mate, always enjoy seeing the vids of them up on the channel 2 mate 👍

[@1983rossco]

Fell on that exact rock not long ago

[@theanglingfront]

😂😂😂 Cold winters morning make this rock deadly,

[@cipyc2157]

Me too, had boots on as well !

[@scottferguson1122]

Yeah dodgy bit I also fell same spot great mark but worth the sore elbow 🙈

[@theanglingfront]

@@scottferguson1122 😂 Agreed

[@edmit2001]

Hope your knee is ok now. Love the view. Nice catched.

[@theanglingfront]

Thanks mate, and the knee is still a tad tender 😂

[@discovering_scotland]

Well done for getting out in that cold mate, rewarded with some nice fish 👏

[@theanglingfront]

Thanks mate, I must admit that session was bloody cold 😂 really appreciate your comment, how’s fishing been on your end?

[@discovering_scotland]

​@@theanglingfrontpretty non existent lately with work mate, hoping to get some sessions over the Christmas break

[@theanglingfront]

@@discovering_scotland Yeah, hopefully you get into some nice species maye

[@mlfishing842]

Great video as always!

[@theanglingfront]

Thanks brother!!

[@ChesapeakeChris]

I very rarely fish over winter...at my age, I've become a fair weather fisherman. Are Pollack good eating? We don't have them here in Maryland. That seemed like a nasty fall but you didn't drop your rod 👍🏻. Looks like it was worth it, you caught 3. I really enjoy watching videos from other areas.

[@theanglingfront]

Hi Chris, I’ve never actually ate pollock before, but I could imagine them being quite nice, and as for the fall, my rod was a priority rather than my body 😂😂 really appreciate your comment, what type of species do you fish for in Maryland?

[@ChesapeakeChris]

@@theanglingfront My target fish is usually striped bass (in Maryland they call them rockfish). I also catch a lot of white perch, an occasional flounder or speckled trout and rarely a puppy drum or a bluefish. Keep the videos coming.

[@ryansmith8099]

This is a cracking channel mate fish very similar to myself 🐟🤘

[@theanglingfront]

Thanks Ryan, really appreciate that mate 🤘🏻

[@barryh10]

Fished here the other night seal was nicking the mackrel pain but fun ma daughter got her forstv2 ever so good times

[@theanglingfront]

@@barryh10 Aw great stuff, shame about the seal, whenever I see one now I just change position, I never seem to catch very much when the seals out on the hunt 😂

[@Howwerelivingfishing]

Hoping I can catch some here in Canada, it’s so cold but I just wanna catch a fish! Here we catch a species of wrasse called “cunners”, they will take any bait. Never catch em in the cold weather though in my experience.most people consider them to be trash fish, but some people will eat them.

[@theanglingfront]

Thanks for sharing mate, very interesting 🤘🏻🎣

[@MickMac-m4k]

Ive been a way for a while pal. Have you got a new rod? Looks lovely

[@theanglingfront]

Hi mick, this is a old rod, HTO urban finesse 7-17 gram to be precise, I’ve had it for 3/4 years now, it’s in my opinion one of the best LRF rods I’ve ever had, it cost me £35 and I’ve landed some nice fish on it over the past few years! Defiantly worth a look if you are in the market for a new set up 🤘🏻🎣

[@MickMac-m4k]

@theanglingfront it's a better. No need to spend a fortune to catch fish in my opinion

[@cipyc2157]

Shame this mark is always full of wee fanny's rubbish! used to produce some really good fish, I remember my mate caught a 3-4lb cod on his first cast ever at this mark in around 2012 on a tiny rod with a mepps spinner, we were back every weekend for months after that!

[@theanglingfront]

Very nice mate, and yeah your right the place is full of crap usually, was surprised how clean it was since my last visit, 😀

[@wayne5240]

Any deep water lochs mate with some big pollock planning a trip for next week any help would be great 👍

[@theanglingfront]

Hi Wayne, what part of the country will you be travelling to?

[@wayne5240]

@@theanglingfront anywhere in Scotland not as far as Skye tho as I’ll be doing there and back in a day haha

[@theanglingfront]

@@wayne5240 Ah, Skye rock marks hold some really nice sized pollock too, but that would be proper journey for you, Loch Etive rock marks holds some really nice pollock, as does Loch Fyne, I am assuming your from Newcastle? The Mull of Galloway again very deep and usually holds some great pollock and wrasse Fishing 😁

[@wayne5240]

@@theanglingfront yeah Newcastle mate haha it’s an early set off through the night make a day of it it’s not that bad when you love fishing. We normally just do st abbs and Eyemouth only 1h 30 mins away from us at Scottish Borders thats decent sometimes deep water had some good fish..just fancied a change might just take the plunge for skye and leave earlier 😂

[@theanglingfront]

@@wayne5240Ah Nice one! Mull of Galloway offers some really good fishing, especially when you have Ragworm! Some really nice pollock and wrasse to be had there, plus the scenery is magical, also may I add I am a Newcastle United supporter!! Will be heading back down your way for few of next seasons fixtures! ⚫️⚪️

[@ianwaddell3282]

what rod are you using

[@theanglingfront]

Hi Ian, I’m using a HTO Urban Finesse 4-17gram rod, had it for about 3 years now, it’s one of my favourite LRF rods I’ve ever purchased, think it was £35 when I bought it, hope this helps Ian 🎣🤘🏻

[@PiscatorUK-Fishing]

Nice one Michael👍those rocks can be treacherous when wet mate. Hope the knee is ok

[@ianwaddell3282]

thanks for the reply im looking for a rod for the sea trout ,lures up to 20 g ,@@theanglingfront

[@theanglingfront]

@@PiscatorUK-Fishing Hi Doug, thanks for the feedback as always, and your right those rocks on a cold winters morning can be deadly 😂 How is the fishing on your end mate?

[@hesalovelybuoy5944]

youve got a new subscriber mate. sick video. i want a travel rod i can use for trout perch and pollock, could you give me some advice? i think the best casting weight will be 10-30 or 40 gramms. cheers

[@theanglingfront]

Thanks mate that’s awesome! I use a HTO urban finesse 7 - 17 gram rod, with a fox rage 2500 reel equipped with 8 pound Diawa sensor, again I personally think this is a versatile set up for pollock, sea trout and wrasse, also it’s a 2 piecer so it fits very well in my car, hope this helps

[@hesalovelybuoy5944]

whats the biggest fish you've had on it like? Does the braid get worn down easily when the Pollock dive for cover

[@theanglingfront]

@@hesalovelybuoy5944 The biggest I’ve had on that HTO rod has been a 6 pound pollock, and for the braid, I honestly couldn’t give you advice as I don’t use braid, I always use monofilament line as it’s better for abrasion when fishing rocky areas 😀

[@hesalovelybuoy5944]

@@theanglingfront oh right- i assumed you used braid. is 10lb mono fine for NE pollock

[@theanglingfront]

@@hesalovelybuoy5944 Yeah, I think that’s ideal personally, and I’ve never used braid before, only if I was big game fishing on the boat, but as I said I always use monofilament when fishing rocky outcrops for pollock and wrasse etc but everyone has there own opinion, hopefully it his helps mate

[@KompanFamily]

Great video. Can u share location ?

[@theanglingfront]

Thanks mate, this is Loch Long mate

[@angussoutter7824]

Oh dear fished loch long for pollack and got zero guess my bait was too big seeing what you were using oh well you live and learn

[@theanglingfront]

I think it’s your luck sometimes Angus, but I do prefer fishing at high tide rather than low on Loch Long personally, some really nice sized pollack in the Loch too 😁

[@angussoutter7824]

@@theanglingfrontah i hit it at low tide and hour before and after so perhaps they are further out in the low water and the loch’s not deep

[@liammcvey6517]

I’m taking my son fishing on Sunday at loch long. We are staying at artgartan Could you recommend a spot? I’ve only got Shad style lures Would this be ok and would that get pollock? Thanks

[@theanglingfront]

@@liammcvey6517 Yeah Liam, those lures are perfect! And I would suggest trying any rock face along the east side of Arrochar! Most places will hold pollock and wrasse! I personally haven’t caught a wrasse on lures yet, my go to is always Ragworm, but you never know, a place I like going to is a mark called the caves, it would be to hard to give you directions to it, but I’m pretty sure you might be able to find it using google! The only problem with fishing a Sunday is that it usually tends to be quite busy with folk, so getting a spot may be difficult, but hopefully the coldness puts some people off 😁 there’s also mackerel still getting caught also I hear
