A fishing channel that aims to inform anglers of all abilities about different UK surf fishing locations and catching fish from them.
Watch and maybe learn about a new fishing locality, consider a different approach to a familiar venue, or just be amused by another angler’s style.
RodsAngleUK videos follow a ‘no nonsense' approach, explaining techniques and rigs and revealing all marks fished.
A mixture of in-depth venue coverage, through several sessions to gauge trends / hone tactics ('catch fish at...' series) and short 'day-trip' visits to specific marks. Knowledge gained from these experiences is shared.
UK shore fishing - largely ‘continental’ style.
Hopefully enjoy, find some value in watching and please consider subscribing.
Any comments and suggestions for content, would be really appreciated.
Hi, Mick, can I ask you when you are fishing in the day. What sort of time do u generally do this. Not having much luck lately, fishing in the afternoons at Hastings Harbour. Many Thanks!
Good one - it was pretty cold at times! I'm in to cryptic messages and mythology; but don't place (correct spelling) any in my vids - if there are any its down to the gods!
I am fairly new to fishing, i have watched lots of your videos. Because of you I have just bought some boom rigs and also some salted lug. I especially like your clip from Hastings Harbour, as i fish there often. Anyway thanks for your clips, i have learnt a lot from them.
Many thanks for that. Boom rigs don't always work - sometimes fish will shy away from them; but they do help nail your baits to the seabed and bites show up well.
Another amazing video Michael sitting at home lovely your videos and going on Saturday can't wait loads of fish again and soon good tips for a good fisherman
Hi Mick ... It just goes to show that fish can turn up, even when you are packing up to leave ... Extending your session proved worthwhile, even though you didn't catch any target plaice ... 2 stonking smoothies would make any anglers day ... Well done. 🐟🐟🎣🎣 Ps. I think Dylan,from 'Frugal Outdoors', has purloined your hoodie ... It has 'The sole man' on the back of it ...
Well done Michael, just goes to show that you are always in with a shout while you have a bait in the water. I think I may have packed up long before your capture 🐟
Awesome again Mick smooth hounds called gummy shark here prized catch and good eating sold in most chippies good to give to kids 2 eat as they don't have any bones. Happy catching from Australia Nick
Brilliant result with the hounds Mick,just goes to show that we always use pulley rigs for hounds but a 3 hook paternoster can catch anything ..Top Angling
Yes - I mainly fish with small baits and hooks; but still get a fair number of decent fish. Fishing big baits and big hooks, you'll increase your chances of getting better fish, but are unlikely to catch the small ones, so are more likely to blank.
@@rodsangleuk6283 We where near the holiday camp we parked up by the chip shop it's a dead end road so can't really go wrong We didn't want to go anywhere else as apparently it's a nudest beach and we had enough worms
You fished worm mostly, I believe, which is why you weren’t immediately into the Doggies, they will eat virtually anything of course, but fish baits are best for them. Mackerel will get them on the beach quickly and continuously to the exclusion of all else at times, so I just stopped fishing Mackerel hoping to not catch Doggies, Sand eels are a better fish bait, I feel, they’ll catch Smooth hounds, and Rays , with flatfish falling to worms. Frozen black lug, are a good bait too. Catching some really nice Dover Sole on the South Wales coast during the summer months and Cod during winter, all such good eating. Fresh Peelers for the Bass! The prolific Dogfish numbers are spoiling the fishing though, as fishing trips, take some planning, and they aren’t cheap either, just to catch them damned Doggies!!! Is it really worth it? Thanks for the vid, that wind noise was a nuisance.
Yes - I agree about baits for dogfish: which is why I avoided using fish baits as much as possible, since I didn't want to catch them, unless there's nothing else present!
You can fish whenever you like, but better to wait until the water is hitting the wall. I seem to only catch soles from half an hour before the top to about 2 hrs down.
Around into the Thames Estuary, bluey herring and squid baits, and youre into a good area for some skate and bass👍 especially fishing during sunrise or sunset 👌
Struck too early? No point striking at all when beach fishing. Just wind down quickly until feeling the weight of the fish. Striking, then feeling for a fish, then reeling in slowly? Thats the best way to lose fish👎
If I'm getting loads of each in a session I'll try to; but a lot of the time there isn't sufficient action to justify filming bites and not trying to hit them - would be a lot easier if I had someone else filming!
Hi Mick ... Normally, I call you the 'sole Man' ... But on this occasion, I will refer to you, as the 'cat shark Man' ... Sounds better than the obvious doggie ... Nevertheless, another interesting and enjoyable video from you ... John.
