Firstly, apologies, the videos are slow coming. I'm back working in the office rather than from home. When I'm not at work I'm trying to find the balance of being a new dad, walking the dogs, and daily life tasks. So editing is taking longer than it did last year.
The EOBC isn't my usual bag. In fact, I've only fished it once before and swore never again. But something about it got under my skin this year, most likely my competitive side, so I decided to give it a crack!
Conditions were rough all week, with strong northerly winds creating big swells. There were calls for the boundaries, from Bridlington to Spurn point, to be extended to include the Humber. Calls mainly, I feel, due to the fact the river has been producing great results this year.
The winds eased, and the sea showed some mercy, but the swells remained, creating a huge undercurrent that most would struggle to contend with. Saturday was a hard day's fishing. I'd estimate 3000 anglers took part, which saw only 30 fished weighed in for their efforts.
I can tell you Sunday was a much better days fishing for me personally, but came with its own bitter twist.
Subscribe for day 2, take care and tight lines 🎣

It's only dangerous if you're oblivious to it mate. I'm conscious to try and raise awareness on my videos as it's so easy for kids/inexperienced folk to watch RU-vid, grab a cheap rod combo, and end up in trouble.

Respect to you for giving it a shot.🫣🫡 Shame not many fish turned up, but it must be impossible to foresee conditions.🥺 If you had fished the ledges, did the estate manager want you to sign a disclaimer?😂 I wonder if Imax make a bulletproof fishing jacket.?🤔🤣 Hope you had a better 2nd day.🤞 I look forward to the video.🫣 Thanks for sharing.👍 Take care and stay safe.😷🙊
@theawfulangler
@theawfulangler Год назад
I mean they have already announced the dates for next year's comp, so foreseeing the conditions is nigh on impossible. They have extended the boundaries in to the river in the case of severe conditions but that was a bit unnecessary this year.

I've fished it once and had a bad weekend. Flattie bash was mayhem, Saturday I fished a busy mark and spent the day sorting crossed lines, then food poisoning saw me back home about 4am Sunday 🤢 I vowed never to fish it again, but I quite enjoyed it this year, so maybe I'll be back. Its an expensive weekend though especially when the conditions aren't ideal

I was debating Friasthorpe for the Sunday, glad I didn't go for it, from the sounds of it would have been a waste of my time too.

Yeah Andrew, those northerly swells really created a current. On big tides it can have a bit of pull. But these were small tides, I've never seen pull like that on the east coast. I've been watching a few of the guys down that way and does seem to be picking up. Think I've burnt all my brownie points for now. But the next trip, in a couple weeks maybe, could well be the channel 👍🏼

Conditions definitely looked tough going. Fair play for sticking it out. Not my sort of coastline to be fishing. As for that 'Estate manager' there's only Roe round there and they won't be on cliff tops in day time and any stalker worth his salt wouldn't be shooting out over cliffs anyway.
@theawfulangler
@theawfulangler Год назад
It's definitely not the sort of conditions you'd choose to fish in that's for sure. As the shoot, I agree mate. It's flat as a pancake around there, so anyone not shooting from a seat shouldn't be letting a shot off. But that being said I had gone round a fence and through some brush, so he was well within my right just to tell me to get the f off private property. He was right with me so I was right by him. Didn't look like i could get near any ledges there anyway 😅

Great content as ever bringing back memories of fishing the matches. Quick question regarding the line/braid on the spool have you found filling the line to the underside of the lip of the spool help with casting. I know carp fishing at distance we have the line just below the chamfer of the lip of the spool. I know braid can be a pain with wind knots etc and been advised to dampen the line down before casting.
@theawfulangler
@theawfulangler Год назад
Cheers buddy! I'll be honest mate, I just chuck a 300m spool on and where it comes to is where it stops 😅 I use Berkley Whiplash and have never had an issue with windknots nor do I damper the line before use. I've heard people say that over filling a spool can create problems. And I've seen plenty of folk having warmup casts to wet and bed the line before going for the big send. I've just never felt the need.

Thanks Jessica! We do, but nowhere near the level that you guys use. Unfortunately we just don't have the pelagics that you guys do. So we have surface lures such as 130mm patchinko lures, and if you catch a 5kg bass on one of those, that's the fish of dreams 😅
