Cod & Pollack on Lures | Small Tackle Change Brings Big Results 

brilliant as always thanks. every time you hear the slippy limpets owl call you know somethings going down. hoo hoo 🦉😃👍🏻

You have some great scenic shots on this video. I'm so awed by the geology I almost forget about the fishing.

I can’t really get out fishing myself, so watching you fishing trips is they next best thing 😉

Top quality vids as usual 👍. Watching your vids has taught me so much about lure fishing, thank you 😀.

That's fishing right there, much appreciated and fabulous to watch, keep them coming.

Really enjoying your vids. Only recently got back onto fishing and super keen on lure fishing. Had a great trip recently on the south east coast with bass and mackerel. Now looking for a proper lure rod. Keep em coming!

I can learn from this, I often continue to do things that aren't working, need to change it up a bit

yet again another cracking video mate , the fish were stunning plus the drone footage was brilliant, stay safe

Loved the video! You sure cover some tricky and dangerous ground to get too Marks and give us some enjoyable fishing content. Great scenery and some beautiful colouration on the fish. Thankyou from Northern Ireland. Tight Lines 👍 N.B. loved your Orkney adventure

Loved the vid and the stunnin drone footage, a nice mixed bag of fish too. Interesting to hear your tackle theories as well am deffo gonna try some next time. . . Ta tight lines 🎣

Opening shots from the drone.........superb, my wife had to leave the room, couldn't watch😣. Some nice fish won and lost, and when it's time to move.......one more cast lol. Great to watch and enjoy, even though your lures took a hammering, it's all part of the game. Already looking forward to the next round.

Looks like fun and a great place to spend the day!

Some smart fishing there mate, good choices once you switched on. Your photography I getting better and better with the drone use, and the colours on those Cod mate, I holy moly...

Hi, I know that mark but no way I'd ever get to it. I'd also like to thank you for inspiring me to return to sea fishing and especially lure fishing. Got my first ever pollack today at North Berwick, under 2lb but great sport, safely returned. Thanks for all the videos.

That's a proper kelp cod with them colours, absolutely beautiful 😍 ❤

Cracking video there! And definitely some big swells there too 🌊

Don’t think my knees would put up with that anymore. 😂😂

Mountain goat comes to mind 🤔😁 Fantastic content as usual. Photography amazing 👍🐟🐟🐟

Oh well I've eventually got round to watching this one 🤦‍♂️ Another belter as always.Amazing the things you picked up on your GoPro, and a couple of cracking cod 🎣🐟

"Sketchy" descent, That's an understatement! Heart in the mouth stuff watching you tackle those cliff faces. Your drone operator deserves a mention, stunning work again.

Awesome video mate, amazing scenery , watching from 🇮🇪

At 16:51, it's not a seal... its a Great White Shark swimming past, 🤣🤣🤣. 22:53 Gannets hitting the water, are always amazing, I think that seal got a big shock. Colour of the Cod, are also amazing. Another excellent vidio, brilliant drone footage, stay safe.

Good to see you got some fuel, I had to run to tescos so I could go fishing. Lol. Another great video mate. I love it when nature goes on around us, the fish are a plus.

Great vid as always dude, nice chunky fish! Not sure if it's any use, but for superglue on the Z-manz, I use the Loctite bottles with the plastic edges you squeeze together: really easy to apply small amounts without getting glue on the knot and the cap is designed to twist in, so it's easy to unstick and doesn't leak.

What a true Geordie, shorts and T shirt the end of September, must have gone below zero when you put the jacket on lol ? I'll send you a Gansey for next February, you look in grand fettle lad, enjoying every minute, as am I with your awesome videos - thank you.

oi oi slippy .. hell of a climb for fishing . but i do love the colour on the cod up your way ... take it easy dude tight lines and have fun

Great footage with the drone 👍🏻

Great video mate always enjoyable👍🐟

Real nice man. Wherever you are fishing is absolutely beautiful. On those heavy rock situations, I like to slide my shad/minnow bodies on a football jig head. Comes through those rocks better.

Eyup Nathan. I feel like I've been fishing again - booming water, diving birds and the lovely bend in the rod. I love being reminded what a lot of daft monkeys we are compared to a Gannet on a mission. Just imagine her moment before she hits the water. Now that's fishing. I'll sithi after, Dave.

I was diving at St Abbs with gannets passing me at 20m. Great video, thanks.

Gannets are pretty amazing. Nov. 8th, 2014 in Rockaway, MILES of them diving about a mile offshore, with a massive morning bluefish blitz right on the open beach. The end was not visible in either direction. Smaller bait was outside the bar, and adult bunker were beaching themselves. Would something like Korkers make your fishing any easier? I dry jetty jumped for years with only regulars shoes or sneakers, but some jetties are death traps without metal spikes on your soles. The natural rocks out East are not the algae covered messes here. I put pan head screws into the bottoms of Timberlands and did Montauk no sweat. It looks like that rock is so much more porous so as to be grippier. Also, a strap system to put the rods on your person and leave hands free is potentially useful for the hard spots to get to. Great to see the light tackle fun.

Another fantastic video pal 👍👏👌😀🙌❤

An honest days fishing-perseverance pays off-good to see you with a net nowadays.

Nice day out!,i know goats that would not go down that cliff 😂👍🏼 look forward to next vid cheers

another great vid Nath, dreading the weather putting an end to the lure fishing this year :(

fantastic session, well done.

Quality as usual thanks.👍👍👍🎣🎣🎣

Hi mate - I’m a fellow North Eastern lad ( Roker; S’unland’ but don’t hold it against me?) but I’m living up in Scotia now; have been since 2001. I really want to say well done on your vidz - you’re a talented dude! - and ‘by, you’re a brave lad’ getting to those spots! Ex rock climber skills? Looks to be… I bought a few spinning rods / combos on the strength of your vids a few weeks back as the last few weeks I’ve been itchin’ta get back to some form of fishing after my boyhood days on the pier at Roker or beach casting at Whitburn sands for flatties - it’s been 32 years since ive broken ‘an elbow in anger with a rod, and i thank you for inspiring me to get out again. So - I took a drive from Edinburgh (home now) to St Abbs on Sunday with the missus and we tried a ‘mark’ that wasn’t too sketchy to get too. In a glorious 90 minutes we had no fish, lost two metal lures, but had a blast! Saw a gannet dive too! Can I ask a few questions from a daft sounding beginner? I’m using a 2.1m light spinning rod - 8g to 25g with 12lb mono on it. I’ve got soft plastic eel lures and metal wedge lures ( and an ancient Toby krill) to try next Friday afternoon. - [ ] Do I need a leader? - [ ] Do I need a swivel? Only on a spinner, that may twist the main line? What about a soft plastic ( Sand eel , weedless type lure) ? - [ ] Can I just go lure straight to line? - [ ] If I need a leader; I’ve read o should use a fluorocarbon line - is it meant to be more lbs strength than the main line or less? - [ ] Any tips for an auld ex mackie spinner? I’m trying to get my two teenage girls into this lark so I can do it more as a family gig. Hehehhh. Sorry for the eejut approach - I’ve tried looking it all up ( I’m an English teacher up here at Dunbar, so should know better) but I got Alice’ed out my head down the rabbit hole, marra! Keep at it you lejjj - ‘tight lines’ I hear is the salutation! Gary W Ps - get those low profiles off the VRs, and winter tyres on - it’ll then get up a track that would stiffen in fright a three legged donkey! ;-)

Love the drone footage. Really shows what a tricky climb that is. Enough to put most off and keep it exclusive. Shame ive never done too well there. Lost a shit ton of metal though

Great video as usual! 👍

glad you had a word wi yersel mate

Great video mate.

Not a bad session in all those codling were nice

Hi, have you looked in to using a Bombada float. They go up to 5 oz . I use the slow sinking ones so that you can fish your plastic lures what ever weight to suit your sink rate. Enjoyed your show, although I was out of puff climbing back up the cliff.

😂😂😂 bro class video a see u have found our handy work lol great spot down there keep left of the rock and u will find another rock tgat splits off just round the back of that rock is a fantastic spot that u can fish very deep alot of cod seem to sit in that channel am 14 stone 5 and the rope held me when a was climbing up and down so trust the anchor points lol. Good luck

Awesome footage and the fish simply amazing. Love the way you take the time to talk and no baffle with too much info. What area was you fishing ?

Superb well done 🐟

Much noticeable improvements in editing the videos well done ,,,of course apart from enjoying the fishing and non stop action 👌👍

Slippy the Mountain goat !

good man love the vids

That was a crackin’ video.

Not that you need it, but ive just subbed! Great stuff, looks like a perilous journey up and down to that mark! I wouldn't be doing that on my own!

Great session Nathan - always intrigues me seeing you get cod on lures from the shore!

one minute in and I'm going, "wow, now here's a guy that really loves to fish".

great looking pollack and wrasse marks there 👍

great vid cheers. What braid to leader knot do you use please?

Brilliant video again. What was the lure and jig head you used at the end there? Thanks

Good session and vid mate! Just wondered what net that was? Looks like the sort of thing I've been looking for

Hat off to you SL - you must have gonads made off steel to cope with those descents! Nice vid' - great stuff.

Nice session in the end. The rock formations was stunning. What drone do you use please? Amazing footage.🎣

Do you not get many wrasse around those Rocky marks? Had a 4lb ballan the other day followed by a 3lb Tight lines slippy 🎣

So you have someone filming for you whilst you fish bud. Always gets me... does he film himself walking down a cliff and then have to go back up and get the camera 🤣🤣🤛😘

Hi bud as a matter of interest what shoes do you wear as I fish most of these marks at st Abbs but always tricky in the wet I currently use Solomon which are terrible most vibrant soles are not great in wet

that looks like beautiful country but really hard to fish

T-shirt arrived last week cheers. Happy with the sizings XXL was perfect for a fat bastard like me.

Don't think i have see a vid, when you haven't had your shit together bud lol!! Awesome stay safe!

Thanks for the video, amazing footage and editing, and fishing was a joy to watch. Do you use an external mic or the onboard mic on the gopro?

Amazing,wonderful fishing!Where is this beautiful place?

Cracking session, wondering what foot wear u have thanks

i want to see you with the Locker..you guys we're great together..kinda for us older guys...to ******* funny together..it was great stuff..but take your own setup..drop it down..a real test....i did it with 2 pd ultra light set up in the other century..a real test...

I was waiting to see if you went to all that expensive and trouble to release the fish. I am on the west coast of Canada and we have a different cod than you. I make lead weights with snap swivel on top that I clip onto the line when I get hung up, to slide down the line. It dislodges the hook, if not immediately, on a couple of bounces. Haven’t lost a rig in over a year. I have enough fish in the freezer to last the winter.

Another great video! Could I ask what backpack you're using please? I'm really struggling to find something decent with a secure rod carrier system.

Tackling some of these tricky to access, remote marks, other than a phone do you carry anything else if you do get into difficulty? where you get to shouting for help probably won’t help?

Great video slower sinking made the difference well done

Do you try a sliding barrel lead onto your mainline then a swivel then about 4ft leader mono and put a jelly worm on a size 1 or 2 straight j , it's a method I use and I found if the fish aren't hitting a lure with a built in weight then this slightly more Tim consuming method seems to work especially get takes on the drop as the jelly flutters down a few feet behind the lead.

I got ur combo . 8 to 20 gram pole. Do ya use savage gear at all?

I’d love to fish your marks but I’m not agile enough at my age, you make it look easy skipping over the rocks. Are there no such thing as easy access marks where you fish?

Another great video thanks. Do you use legit fish minnow lures? The reason I ask is if losing a few they get pretty expensive! I started using hunt House minnows off alliexpress last season (not fished this season! ) But they are great lures and caught me loads of quality bass

Those swells on those rocks if you got caught out you would be in trouble with no life jacket.

great vid so passionate about it great viewing. Have you stopped kayak fishing?

Great videos. You are a great climber too. Can you wear an auto inflate life jacket so we can keep watching.

Where is this ? Near Whitley bay?

👍👍🎣🎣

where are you mate?

Nathan you need more training holding your fish try a harder grep as allways great video😎
