Back to basics! 

Excellent result there Billy,, that's tea sorted for a few nights 🎣🎣👍👍

Well done wet Billy 😂 you cant complain at those two chunkies so a nice evening was had. Take care brother 😊

Brilliant video again Billy,I remember starting out with a penn sea boy reel and a solid glass beach rod 😆.. Traces made by ourselves just loops and tie your hook length..Caught many a Kent Cod back the late 60s..Thanks for the memory lane..

bad weather. great video. thanks for sharing Billy 🔥🎣🐺

Great old school back to basics video great result cracking pair of cod. Goes to show you dont need expensive gear to catch fish anywhere in the world, keep the vids coming billy

Great advice , great fishing😊

Well done Billy. Top fishing as always 🎣🐟

Billy and my morning coffee..perfect, yeh fish dont know as my buddy and me always say about your gear set up. sharp hook and bait done !

Nice fish Billy , I’ve not fished for over 30 years but just retired and going back into it 👍🏻 the tackles moved on a lot , many thanks watching from Galicia

The best back to basics video I`ve seen. You have really hit the nail on the head of how we waste money and time on unnecessary gear.

Can't grumble at that result - respect for showing folks how to do it without spending fortunes. I hope you next sessions are in better weather !

Yes brother , brilliant and simple (suits me!)😂 , appreciated as always 🤘🏼🤘🏼🎣

Not too shabby at all Billy in Norway 👊🏼👏🏼

Night bite cod. That is awesome 💯🐟😋

All Hail the old school!! Nice pair of fish, well done Billy 👏

Good on you Billy for sticking it out 🦈🎣💪

nice one billy boy cracking little session mate, very informative as always, yes sometimes basic is all you need,👊💪🎣

😀 Great video Billy as usual. My gear isn't the cheapest but certainly not the most expensive either. Plenty of top tips and two nice fish, well done you. Looking forward to the next instalment.

Early 90s as a young teen , I’d dig my own worm , ride a bike to the spots . Had the same set up , Abu 65 and a Daiwa mooraker. Best times . Caught some bloody decent cod back then too

Love the basic stuff. Good catches Billy. Thanks!

Hey Billy, i really enjoy watching your videos, i wish i could come fishing with you someday 😊 You should come to Denmark and catch some seatrout someday, i think you would love that 🥰 Best fishing greetings Peter from Denmark 😀

enjoy your videos billy ,for your grip leads just get some elastic bands in your tackle box and wrap them round your grips it stops them opening to easy

This video finally put me off fishing in Norway. The existence of hagfish from the shore is too terrifying to cotemplate.

Hail from DK brother!Respect!

Great video again billy,them hag fish are a real nightmare, couple of nice cods for you there though,,one time i bought them red prawns from the shop and they fished mega 🤣🤣👍

In the late 70s and into 80s I had a paper round to be able to buy my gear in Wallasey in the river Mersey across the the Liverpool ferry dock. All my gear was Abu or Garcia Mitchell. The abu beach caster in those days was the mighty Abu Atlantic zoom 484 it was awesome ! 12 ft of power, yep Abu 6500 and 7000, a bait fork for lug and rag , a Tilly lamp and wellies life was great! Love your videos thanks a lot.

hi billy , you will need a whole sack of potatoes to go with those two monsters.

Love it mate! Keep it simple and the results speak for themselves. But it's strange watching you baiting up a big J hook instead of a dingle dangle!

Used to dive Norway (Narvik WW2 area) early October Lots of Pollock use to lurk in the 20-30 m range on reefs that went down to 50-55M Might be worth float fishing tight in (or spinning/jigging) if you're happy with getting caught up in the crags they hunt in Skipper of our boat spoke of the Orca's coming in end of October early November to feed on spawning "herring" but what he meant by herring is anyone's guess (Scottish and loved a we dram most of the time)

Great video 👏👏💪💪💪

Nice one Billy

Another great video. Lol I love the "All Hail"

Cracking fish Billy. Old School, is the best school. Tight lines my chum. 🤙

Back at it with an all time classic Bill. Love it mate, and as ever thanks for taking the time and effort to make it. Still waiting for a bad video haha .. all hail!

You always make it look so easy Billy, that was two beautiful cod. I remember when you had a chance of catching cod like that where I live in East Anglia, sadly no more. I used to have a pair of ABU 464s in 1973. Is that the sort of time you were talking about? Great video in trying conditions, thanks brother 🐟🇳🇴

Cool catch. Its pretty empty in oslofjord at the moment, something about the oxygen down there not being right, can still catch off a boat but shorefishing is tough.

Just back from Northern Spain, didn´t get a line wet 😞 Too much time spent in the mountains 😞 Now looking forward to getting out for some autumn bass in the esturies and inlets! Great video as always Billy!!!

top content ! thanks brother love that deep clear water. Tip find a drinks stopper/cork that fits to protect the spigot on your rod , if needed bit of sanding , all best

2 beauties!

Good effort billy 🎣

Big pan of potatoes on with them beast's 😂

Well done billy mate

Another quality video. Great viewing as always. 11lb cod is a dream for me and you're bagging up haha. As always look forward to the next installment. Im out on a uk east coast pier tomorrow. Dug my worm this morning at low tide. Hopefully my effort will end in a reward.

You make it look so easy Billy !!!! 😂2 ten pounders no problemo !! man I'm so jealous

Great stuff Billy love it👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Great vid Billy, awful weather. Superb brace of cod, you must eat well!

Billy bags a big back to basics brace. 😊

Well done Billy for saying it as it is….too many RU-vid anglers talk about their mega ££££s rods/reels etc for Norway, leaving regular anglers thinking they cannot/shouldn’t go to Norway as it’s beyond their budget. Cheers for this video!!😀🎣🎣🎣 …RU-vid anglers take note…Billy is the real deal,all the best,take care xxxx

Really enjoyed that episode billy 👍

Great video Billy 👍🎣

Nice one Billy and I like the message there is an old fella here who does not like reels he fishes with handline and line on the end of the rod best pike I've seen him with was 10 kgs

I had a 11 foot hellbender and a 6500 in the 80s good times

nice one billy new subscriber too cheers martyn

I had an Abu 484 beach rod back in the 80s, 11.5 feet and you could pull the plug out with it

nice one billy another great video like it keep it simple hey

Lovely fish billy hope the weatherproofs are still holding out

Another excellent video cheers Billy :) I`ll tell ya what though, i wouldn`t have believed you were a teenager of the 80`s shur you dont look a day over 30 😉

Love it

Still have my Abu 6500 and it still going

Awesome brother x

BILLY!!!!!!! 🙂

Oh my golly utube unsubbed me the b@st@rds! I'm at least a month behind. Great vid so beautiful and grand fish.

Another excellent video and great motivation for us who like fishing but don't have so much money. I am occasionally in Norway and I always bring my cheap set that i bought in Biltema in Sweden for around 25e (might be a bit too cheap :D). So far I managed to catch many different fish species although not such monsters as yours (my records are 3.2kg ling and 3.5kg cod). I'm currently struggling to get something else but saithe which I can catch in tons during night at at peer where I fish. It seems to be very deep, 50+ meters just few meters from edge of peer. Do you have any advice what to do in such case (fishing into abyss :D)?

Boom

We have been surprised at how close-in we have caught fish in Norway. Literally under our feet. Out of curiosity whathat do you think the results would have been if you were lure fishing instead of bait?

I think people have become tackle tarts, myself included lol. Back when I was young in the late 80s, you used whatever tackle and bait you could get. Now it's frozen bait and big money.

👋✌️

I just had to retire my old Daiwa beachcaster 😞 I have owned it 30+ years and picked it up 2nd hand for 20 quid lol. Three rings have decided they want to retire and I´m not spending stupid money on replacing them! 😞

alright billy mate was wondering if you knew how to fish for like and if you you could make a video fishing for them and showing us how i recently went fishing for pike for the first time for 24+ hours overnight and had a humbling experience with only 2 runs and no successful hook sets im a carp fisherman but only once a year when i go to france so was hoping to try find a good species of fish in Scotland to target 😂😂😂

fishing close in at night for the bigger predatory fish, have you ever tried a live baitfish or even a locally caught dead baitfish? and if not why not, lol just wondering,

yes abu we're

Most tackle is designed to catch the angler 🎣

can you please make a video where u show the lures, hooks, weights, lines, rods and reels...all gear u need to fish from shore. both spinning and maybe bottom fishing with bait for example shrimp? i started toi buy some gear and lures for next sumemrs trip but im still a bit confused what to get:P

Just a quick question Billy. I noticed you like bleeding the fish by cutting through the muscles at the base of the tail, do you prefer that to cutting the gill arteries?

Billy catching big cod, whats not to like? 👍🎣🐟

any reason why you are not using circle hooks? Are they not effective for hake?

Respect 🔥

Lerc rod?

Do you go back and forth to Ireland or do you live in Norway?
