Fishing makrel from the sea is more like real fishing than playing hook a duck in a pre stocked pond. You dont need to pay for a boat either you can just feather mackeral from the shore. Also i read that you can take a limited number of fish from rivers but i dunno how much of the riverbank is public.
I court a niph once left her to tiring lol 😂 don't think it's the same fishing, she court me I think looking back, help lol 😂 fishing is more relaxing ❤
Marcel bashing,, full house, 12 bucks one of the best I got and cooked was a chub, left it salted water and cooked it in it, big white thick meat, flakes I was living on my boat
Those newts are very beautiful here in Spain we have the Iberian newt, the palmate newt, the marbled newt, the alpine newt, the common salamander, the long-tailed newt and the pygmy newt.
Mate I'm from Birmingham watch plenty crawboil vids... U need to 100% purge your crawfish until water clean not just rinse in a colinda especially in the UK water ways with our very high levels of raw sewage in our water., nice catch though
Wrong .Is a daily limit and is legal to keep a fish as your wish. You like it or not ,here is the law .Catch limits There’s a daily limit on the number of fish you can take. Coarse (freshwater) fish Each day you can only take from rivers: 1 pike (up to 65cm) 2 grayling (30cm to 38cm) 15 small fish (up to 20cm) including barbel, chub, common bream, common carp, crucian carp, dace, perch, rudd, silver bream, roach, smelt and tench. I am not eating fish every and please everyone respect the law.
Heres a workaround to catching them without a licence. It is legal to catch them, just not to trap them. Trapping requires the licence as they want to be sure your not trapping the wrong kind of crayfish. All the information I can find online it would be legal to catch them using a crabbing line, the sort youd see kids using off a pier at any UK harbour. I know from fishing they are absolutely ravinous feeders, theyl latch onto a tiny hook and a single maggot through heavy flowing water, so I'd imagine bacon or something in a crabbing line bag and youd be able to get them out no problem. I would avoid using the ones that have a catch net as I could assume thats considered trapping and I'd keep to the ones that are just a bag you put bait / chum in. My record of landing crayfish on a rod is about 8 in a day, so as I say, id imagine its a piece of cake to land them using a crabbing line. I cant stress enough how crazy crayfish are, they will just hold onto a thin piece of fishing line for dear life, my brother has landed 3 at the same time with one maggot as bait on a fishing rod (obviously we werent aiming for them though lol). If you asked permission I'd imagine most fisheries / fisherman / land owners would be completely fine with you catching them, as they are super annoying when your trying to fish, hit up some fishing clubs, theyl likely just let you do it for free. I plan on doing this when fishing season kicks back up again on the club waters I hold membership for...
Interesting video. I’m surprised you require a license to trap an invasive species. I’m from Australia and we don’t need a license to trap most of our indigenous crayfish species but there are a lot of regulations on traps and bag limits and seasons. The American Signal Crayfish looks almost identical to our Yabbie and their physiology is also almost identical. I have a couple of tips for your viewers all of which can be seen on Robbiefishing, Robert Alexanders’ RU-vid channel. First, you can put the crayfish to ‘sleep’ by cooling them down to 2-4 degrees Celsius which makes them very easy to handle. Second, humanly dispatch them with a sharp pointed knife through the brain. Third, if they have any external parasites a soak in a strong brine solution will clean them. Fourth, at the end of the tail there’s five fins, grab the middle one and twist it over 180 degrees and pull. The intestinal tract will pull right out. Fifth, boil in water with a dash of salt and few slices of lemon or a bit of white vinegar. The flesh can then be removed and used as any other aquatic protein but my preference is in a mornay sauce on toast or with pasta. I strongly recommend trapping over many successive days and cooking and freezing each batch until you have a good amount of meat. (Don’t forget about the claws as they have the sweetest meat.) Always release any native crayfish you catch. You can use the carapace and water you rinse the flesh in to make a broth in which to cook your pasta and also crush up the remains into a paste to attract more crayfish to the area you are trapping. If more people knew how tasty these are they wouldn’t be a problem as they’d be fished out.
I've caught yabbies out of a farm's dam in the Hunter Valley and they were considerably smaller than these American Signals. I expect our native white claw crayfish are closer in size to NSW yabbies (although I think they shoot you if you eat a protected native crayfish here). We spent ages trying to catch yabbies and we didn't get enough for a starter. The signal crayfish are larger and the males even have a decent amount of meat in the claws which is particularly sweet. With regard to the license, it is free - it just acts as a way to keep track of people putting the lives of water mammals (otters and water voles) at risk, and also keeping trapping licences away from areas where the native crayfish are still hanging on. If, say, you have a Norfolk postcode, they won't issue you with a licence.
You need to purge them in salt water two or three times to clean them out. Ten after they are purged you put them in alive because dead crayfish are bad. Then use shrimp boil and cook them with corn on Cobb and red potato's . Pinch the tail off peal and eat that then suck the brains out of its head.
We found this video really helpful! Thank you 😀 We have a 'quest for a 2lb perch' video coming up, and i think you'll notice some of the advice you gave us. Thanks again! Tight lines
Made it to 2mins. You criticise and belittle sea charters who give people, and especially kids, the opportunity to catch a truly wild mackerel or pollock. Then you claim that artificially fed trout, that are captive in small stocked ponds, are a better fishing and/or eating experience! Come on Cyril, seriously? With all due respect, you fly guys can sometimes be so far up your own starfish that your tunnel vision becomes endemic.
I got to that bit where he mentioned going out on a boat for mackerel or whatever too and I thought , yess! I've done that twice already so I'm one step ahead of his instructions 👍
I thought that there was no rules to catching American signal crayfish as there invasive and distructive to r native crayfish? Sorry we all must have been given wrong information, can you tell us the correct information please, thanks

This video should give everybody who fishes for salmon without success big hope. Never before I’ve observed success with such bad casting combined with improper line and ugly fly choice. For your next trip be better prepared and read a book about Salmon techniques first. I loved your pure enjoyment during fighting your Helmsdale Kelt! Tight-lines
technically yes you would, due to them being an invasive species Under Section 27A of the Salmon and Freshwater Fisheries Act 1975. Although theres so many unregulated waterways i doubt you would get caught, plus its more fun that way too.
