I’ve got a sib, and i use it to go fishing. I just would not have the guts to go 13 miles offshore in an inflatable. You are an absolute inspiration mate, just subscribed and have to endorse the other comments, best video I’ve watched in a long time, I’m gonna settle down and watch some more now, but I doubt I could be more blown away. Thank you for making my evening. Brilliant.
I used to regularly go out 13 miles and more in a 14' dory, never had any worries, Pladda Island, Arran, Scar rocks. So long as you have the right experience, gear and checked the weather no reason not to.
Wow, possibly the best fishing video I have ever watched, and the dolphins at the end, simply stunning. Very well done. Stay safe and tight lines. Mike.
Fantastic day out, fished the lighthouse years ago, great vid. Fishing the crazy eel depends on depth of water & species, usually a sink & draw in deeper water or for shallower ground keep it moving with jerks/twitches, but you gotta keep it moving for the paddle tail to work & fish to be interested.
You deserve more subscribers. Your enthusiasm is infectious and this particular video was a highlight with the average size of bass around! Keep up the good work.
couldn't agree anymore. this young man warrants far more subs, showing how it should be done. great advice on retrieving fish from depth. slow and steady always wins the race for me.
Brilliant video and an even better day out on the water, your passion and enthusiasm could be felt coming out of the screen. What a days fishing thanks for sharing
Watching this was like a movie set minus the setup part! That dolphin take at the end looked incredible and the luck of catching the fish you did was amazing! I would not even class myself as a fishing expert however I learned a lot of stuff from this video and you have earned yourself another subscriber.
Oban, just when it looks like you’ve done the ultimate video, you pull another out of the bag! This was an outstanding watch! Just love the excitement and passion you exude, it’s just like being on the boat with you! I think you unpack the boat up each time you go out. Could you possible have the camera rolling one day? I’m sure many of us would like to see how you do that and the time involved. Tight lines……
I have an excel vanguard 3.95 with aluminium deck. I have a suzuki 20hp 4 stroke which I can just about handle on my own from the back of my van onto the transom. I think I've got it down to a fine art in that it takes me 1 hour from folded in my van to out on the water. About the same to put it all away.
Very well put together Oban and good fishing as always . You are truly blessed where you live. Some of the sights and experiences you have are incredible. Love the dolphins, so beautiful. I think how I work the lure varies on location and depth of fish. For instance last weekend I was fishing over rough ground approximately 40ft deep. The bass there are usually on the bottom and always full of crab. I caught them drifting just bouncing the lure along the bottom with slow movements of the rod top. Keep it up 👍
Great video as always mate! Definitely use that for some big Bass off the kayak, got to be a sink and crank with a few jigs in between!! Makes me want to get out more!!!
Absolutely Brilliant, not only have you convinced me to purchase a Sib, but I am definitely going to include sea fishing in my daily semi retired day's. Seeing the dolphins on the return home has given me more incentive to get on the salt. One question when those beautiful creatures were having a good time, were you not worried about them hitting the prop? Keep the vids going Young Man. Your an inspiration to even us old Codges.
Just watched, and I have to say, what a fantastic video, full of expectation and then rewarded with fish after fish. We've all been there losing a fish when it wasn't ready to land......we live and learn, but takes a long time to get over the loss. Love your enthusiasm and that's what made your video such a good watch. I have just subscribed.
I have a couple of SIBs and they are fantastic. As long as you play it safe. With your radio coms, and walkie talkies. Safety first and the rest is all fun stuff. Tight lines.
Best bass video of the whole year on RU-vid. Brilliant from start to finish. Huge bass feeding frenzy made my hair on the back of my neck stand up! What a sight...what great catches too. If I had one of those lures I would work it on a quick retrieve across the current in my estuary working the paddle tail and hopefully firing up the bass. My maximum depth is only 8 foot on my marks so I need to keep the lure moving on a straight retrieve to avoid snags. Great lure....would love to try one. Thanks again for an awesome video. 👍🐟👍🐟👍🐟
Your best video yet Oban! Incredible footage of those big Bass in a feeding frenzy! what a dream! If I won the fiiish crazy paddle tails I'd use them for Bass on the rough broken ground just off the North Essex coast .We don't get a lot of that around here so If I located some bigger Bass I'd let it sink and then retrieve it up against the tide, working them at different depths on the way up. Then hopefully get that hard aggressive take!!
I have to make do with periodical getting my fishing gear out in my living room because I live so fare from the sea I don't have many opportunities to get out there however those would look fantastic and when I get the chance l will use the drop and wind method 😬👍
New sub here. New to SIB fishing, making the progression from Kayaks. What an awesome day out that was. Dolphins were amazing. Hope your channel continues to grow mate. 👍🏻👊🏻
We were out the Eddystone Friday 11 th Feb 2022 ? We saw a SIB like yours and were going to say hello but you set off by the time we got to your last position, the wind was picking up! Great video! Watched it several times.
Great fishing buddy sorry about the one you lost. There is an art in netting fish, as I am a salmon angler as well. Always net your fish head first, you never see a fish swimming backwards. But a great video. When fishing my lure I tend to fish shallow. And some times let the lure clear the water, I have often seen fish follow the lure out of the water, It's fantastic to see.
Great vid mate , really enjoyed it. Was like that up at Portland too. Just crazy. Work them lures , down deep , twitch them back , few turns , twitch them and repeat !
That was fantastic. The best video I've seen on sib fishing I was smiling from ear to ear, though out it must be magical boating with the dolphins. It also fairly play on the giveaway it's a sub from me
You’re a very impressive lad with lots of great knowledge, but fishing off an inflatable - out as far as the Eddystone!?! Obviously you have huge confidence in the boat, but don’t you worry about a hook snagging it and deflation? Very enjoyable video 👍🏼
Nice little video young man I work on a charter boat out of Falmouth must say the bassing this summer has been outstanding.... Well done some cracking fish there 👏👏
Awesome bit of fishing there Oban, well worth the steam out. Fiish Black Minnow one of my favourite lures. Sink and retrieve at a slow pace with random rod tip twitches seems to work best for me. Take care out there!
Another Fantastic video buddy , what a session, definitely a red letter day hitting s feeding shoal of that stamp ! I'm dying to give the crazy eel paddle tail ago , would work fantastic on our marks on the boat , drifting over the sandbanks working it on a straight retrieve, when all the sandeel show up in the bay 👍
Nice video mate. End setting looks lush. I'd use in shallower water, acting like a jerkbait, random retrieve rate for anything that bites haha. Must be knackering hoying that outboard about, keep well and keep enjoying yourself out on the sib 👍
Amazing video Oban, well done! I had a similar experience off Fowey a few weeks back for about 15 crazy mins - bass, mackerel, cod and pollack but all just off the bottom on a slow jig in 40M of water. They were all chasing sprats/whitebait I think. The bass were all returned due to size.
I got a sib after seeing your vids . Did one trip in Prestatyn the next one was up in Plymouth hoping to go out a bit but had problems with engine. Wasn't doun to me it was a new tahatsu 15hp but at least I got about 2 miles out the first day . I am looking forward to going the eddystone and try it my self brill kids m8
Fished with hook in the weedless mode and cast out across the flow. Wait until it touches bottom and then feel it bounce along. Very very slow retreive then bang - bass on!! Like your presentation style - proper fishing vids with no silliness. Will defo subscribe!
An awesome video Oban, as always, really inspiring stuff! Just setting up a sib for next year, really buzzing now!! I tend to target bass from the shore. Love current or surf and at night. Senses electric. Chuck the sandeel into the current, let it sink then lift, wind, sink, lift, wind . . . smash!! Did can be literally yanked from your hand and in current the fight can be immense even with smaller fish. Love it!! Take care, stay safe. Interested to know if you target bass during the winter on the boat? Rob
That's a great video, never went that far in my little boat but inspirational as to what you can do. I liked the commentary as well, explaining what you were doing and why. Just a thought try fishing without the barbs especially on the treble hooks and you'll catch more fish as its quicker to unhook and you don't get them caught in your net :)
Epic 👍🤙 great video sorry about the biggy! I lost my biggest bass in France a few years back. The bass were smashing the sardines into the rocks all around me I was in such a fluster I missed my first cast! (Fly). Smashed into it my fly 1st cast like a train hooked it saw it expecting it to fly off however it came to the surface and did the biggest head shake throwing the fly 😱😖🤢
You should attach a tape measure to the side of your boat! It would make measuring the fish easier. If you use a code tape measure it will look good also, no cobbled together.
Great video mate 👍 You trailer that or pump it up before you go out ? I saw your video unboxing and prepping. Trying to see how much work it is as a trailer is not an option for me . Thanks. Regards from San Diego Ca 👍
Great video - you've got a new subscriber! This popped up quite a few days ago on my recommended videos and I initially thought "Whats someone from Oban doing fishing down here on my manor?" Now I know you're local! By the way, the Eddystone is known to us as "The Submarine" - long story! 👍👍
Ideal for kayak fishing drop over the side and I'd jerk them up and down, also good for cast and retrieve with a few pauses great video and some awesome fish 👍🎣
